- Conduct insulation resistance test of each bar.

4.9 ASSEMBLY OF STATOR PARTIAL WINDING

4.9.1 INSTALLATION OF BOTTOM BARS


FOR ROUND PACKING TAPE FOLLOW INSTRUCTION HTWT 620172
- Brazing surfaces on the bottom bars must be polished and cleaned (free of damages, dust and grease) prior to
the bottom bar insertion. Remove any grease with White spirit.
- Clean the bars with a clean and dry cloth (non abrasive).
- Check the core for any physical damage.
- Wrap the bar with round packing tape.

a) Install and clean the device for bar round packing.


b) Measure the slot width (Ws)
c) Measure the bar width (W b)
d) Calculate the mounting gap (Ws – W b)
e) As a double-layer folded round packing tape has a thickness of 0,22 mm, then the total thickness both
sides is 0,44 mm. Define then coating thickness of the silicone compound for round packing according
to the following gaps:

Clearance between bar and slot wall Applicator setting


0,5 mm 0,10 to 0,15 mm
0,6 mm 0,20 mm
0,7 mm 0,20 mm
0,8 mm 0,20 to 0,25 mm
0,9 mm 0,25 to 0,30 mm
1,0 mm 0,30 mm

NOTE: deviation from these values can be made under the following conditions:

- The bar sits too loosely in the slot: increase the amount of silicone compound, as air bubbles can form inside
the compound
- The bar sits too tightly in the slot: this happens if silicone compound is pushed out when the coil is inserted.
Reduce the amount of the compound

1 Summary
This text proposes an installation sequence of the stator core and its connection to the stator
frame. Special cases where the stator is stacked in two or more segments in the workshop and
assembled on site or with clamping system on the back of the core are not covered in this
procedure.

The installation sequence and tolerances given in this text are guidelines. Each project engineer
is responsible to verify if the client has imposed erection tolerances, to verify if the tolerances
can be met and to optimize the installation sequence and tooling with its local installation team.
The tolerances given in this procedure are for reference. The tolerances given by the designer
or stated on the drawings always prevail.

2 Validity
This erection procedure is valid from the date of receipt of the approved edition, sent by letter
from the Generator Technology Centre and signed by the technology director. This document
will be revised when major changes make it necessary.

3 List of alternatives
• Stator core and keybars installed at site.

This procedure does not cover the installation of the auxiliary equipment

4 Scope of types
The presented erection procedure is valid for all vertical hydro generators and pump storages,
except small standard generators. It includes high, medium and low speed machines, as so as
all output ranges.

All machine types for which this instruction is not valid, like specific refurbishments and bulbs,
must be installed according to other specific criteria.

5 Technical descriptions

5.1 Definitions
Concentricity: area defined by a circle of radius t, the tolerance, which center corresponds to the
stator reference axis.

Circularity: area defined by two concentric circles separated by a distance t, the tolerance. The
two circles have their centers on the best center of the stator core.

Horizontality: area defined by two horizontal plans separated by a distance t, the tolerance.

5.2.1 Preparation

1. A compass (stator bore radius measuring tool) shall be installed concentric with the turbine
axis.
• Concentricity tolerance : 0.05mm
• Verticality tolerance : 0.05mm
2. Verify that the stator frame lower ring flatness tolerance is respected.

5.2.2 Installation of the resting plates

1. Mark the position of the keybars on each flange. If the clamping bolt holes on the lower ring
are already drilled, make sure that the position of the keybars will match the clamping bolt
positions. The keybars position should also match the center of the phases and neutral
connections.
2. Using c-clamps, install two resting plates. One on the stator flange above the lower ring and
the other on the flange below the top flange. These two resting plates will determine the
radial position of the reference keybar.
3. Adjust the radial position of the two resting plates to respect the radial position tolerance of
the keybar. The erection team has to take into consideration the welding deformations to
obtain the appropriate radial position of the resting plate after welding. If MIG/MAG welding
(CO2) is used, the welding deformation should be zero.
4. Weld the two resting plates.
5. Select a keybar with a good geometric shape (straightness, torsion,…). This keybar will be
called the reference keybar.
6. Temporary install the reference keybar.
7. Verify the radial distance to the centerline of the reference keybar. Correct the position of
the two resting plates, if required, until the radial tolerance is met.
8. Install and weld all the other resting plates.
9. Verify their radial position.

5.2.3 Preliminary installation of the master keybars

1. Grind the paint on the stator frame flanges at the location of each stirrup weld,
2. Install the mounting angles on the resting plates: the mounting angles should be on a
slightly larger radius than the bore radius of the resting plates,
3. Temporary dispose the keybars around the inner periphery of the stator frame and mark the
position of the stirrups at the height of each stator flange,
4. Remove the keybars. Slide on the stirrups and install them at their position using c-clamps,
5. Determine the quantity of master keybars: this quantity should be such that the chord
between each master keybar is about 2000mm and at maximum 4000mm. The quantity of
master keybars should be a multiple of the total quantity of keybars. If not possible, the last
master keybars should overlap the first master keybar,
6. Dispose the master keybars, equally spaced around the periphery: the first master keybar
should be installed on the reference resting plates. This master keybar is called the
reference keybar,

7. Bolt the master keybars to the stator frame. In order to prevent bending of the keybars, do
not tighten the mounting angles too hard. The keybars shall rest against the resting plates,
8. Adjust the lateral verticality of the reference keybar,
9. Verify the radial position of the reference keybar at all stator frame flange elevation,
10. Tack weld all the stirrups of the reference keybar,
11. Verify that there is no clearance between the reference keybar and the stirrups,
12. At all stator frame flange elevation, measure the chords between each master keybar.
Determine the average chord at each stator frame flange height,
13. Adjust the chords between each master keybar such that at all stator flange height the
difference between the measured chord and the average chord is 0.25mm maximum and
that the sum of the errors per elevation is below +-0.25mm. The difference between the sum
of errors between each elevation should be below 0.25mm,
14. Verify the radial position of the master keybars at all stator frame flange elevation,
15. Tack weld all the stirrups of the master keybars.

5.2.4 Preliminary installation of the intermediate keybars

1. Install the intermediate keybars at equivalent interval between the master keybars,
2. Bolt the intermediate keybars to the stator frame. In order to prevent bending of the keybars,
do not tighten the mounting angles too hard. The keybars shall rest against the resting
plates,
3. Using the positioning template and the compass, adjust the position of the intermediate
keybars to respect the radial and the chord tolerances,
4. Verify the radial position of the intermediate keybars at all stator frame flange elevation,
5. Tack weld all the stirrups of the intermediate keybars,
6. Verify that there is no clearance between the keybars and the stirrups.

5.2.5 Final installation of the keybars

1. If the mounting angles can be used for stacking the next unit, remove and store them. If they
cannot be used for the next unit, secure the bolts by tack welding.
2. Stack two layers of lamination and verify that:
• There is no gap between the keybars and the stirrups.
• The back of the laminations rest against the keybars.
• The bore radius is within the circularity and concentricity tolerances
• There is a gap between each lamination, thus the laminations do not overlap.

3. Weld the stirrups. The welding of each stirrup should be made to minimize the welding
deformation, as shown in Figure 2. The stirrups should be welded following the sequence
described in Figure 2. Complete the welding of the stirrups on a stator flange before starting
at another level. MIG/MAG welding (CO2) is recommended to minimize the distortion of the
stator frame.

Figure 2 - Welding of the Stirrups


4. 100% of the stirrup welds should be visually inspected and 10 % should also be inspected
with magnetic particles or liquid penetrant. The acceptance criteria for the weld inspections
are described in the standard EN 25817 – Quality Level C.
5. Install the keybar locking plates.
6. Clean the stator frame and paint the welds.

5.3 Stator core stacking

5.3.1 Preparation for stacking

1. When the stator frame is made in sections and welded on site, the welding distortion could
locally affect the position of the holes, thus some designer could decide that it is better to
drill the clamping holes at site. If this is the case, use the laminations as a template to mark
and drill the clamping bolt holes on the lower ring.
2. Remove the laminations.
3. Install the DE press plates. If press fingers with strips are used, the extremity of the press
fingers (at the inner diameter) should be 2mm higher than the elevation at the outer press
finger diameter. Adjusting shims should be welded under the press fingers to obtain the
horizontality and elevation tolerances.

5.3.2 Stacking

1. Start the stacking. The end packages are usually made of stepped laminations.
2. At the middle height and final height of each lamination package, tap the laminations bore
radius using a plastic hammer to make sure that the laminations rest against the keybars.
3. Install the piling guides at each slot facing the keybars. The stacking guides will ensure a
smooth surface in the slots. The piling guide thickness should be 0.1mm smaller than the
theoretical slot width. The tolerance on the pilling guide thickness is +0.03mm, -0mm. The
first set of pilling guide set should be pulled up as the stacking goes on until the height of the
piling guide is reached, than a second set of pilling guides is used. The second set is pulled
up as the stacking goes on, until the complete height is reached. For high stator core (more
than 2m) it is a good practice to use an intermediate set of pilling guide. This intermediate
set can be made of only one pilling guide per lamination instead of 2.
4. At each layer, move forward the lamination by one keybar to overlap the joints. Always place
the first lamination of each package at the same position. Use the reference keybar as a
positioning guide. This procedure is not applicable for the lamination layers where stator
core RTD have to be installed, since the RTD slots have to be coincident.
5. Once a package is stacked, clamp the lamination package and measure its thickness on the
bore and the outer diameter using a vernier caliper. Try to distribute the thicker and thinnest
laminations and the equalizing segments to respect the thickness tolerance.
6. Install the ventilation segments and the insulating bushes as per drawing.
7. At 100mm from the bottom and 100mm from the top and at every stator frame flange take a
set of measurements in order to insure that the circularity, concentricity, verticality and the
straightness tolerances are met. The minimum number of reading per set of measurement is
based on the bore diameter, see Table 3. The first reading should always be taken at the
same angular position.
8. During stacking, proceed with intermediate pressing at approximately every 500mm of
stacked height. The last intermediate pressing is done two or three packages before the
core height is reached.
• The intermediate pressings must always be carried out after a final stacked core
package. It is not permitted to carry out a pressing within the stacking process of a
package. The ventilating segment should not be installed.
• Install the NDE press plates, the clamping bolts, the spacer tubes, the steel washers and
nuts.
• Grease with a non-conductive grease the bearing surface of the nuts and the threads
and tighten the nuts following a pattern similar to Figure 4. The proposed pattern consists

in separating the stator core in equal segments and all the first nut of each segment is
tightened at the same time and so on. To do this a hydraulic pump equipped with a
manifold is used with hydraulic hollow cylinder jacks. Limit the force to 80% of the
nominal value. As the stacking goes on, the stretching length of the clamping bolts will
increase.
• Measure the core height around the circumference on the inner and outer radius. From
these measurements, the stator core will be equalized in the next package using
equalizing laminations.
• Using a sharp knife check each core tooth for compactness. Mark non-compact areas
with chalk. Determine the thickness of the required inserts.
• Check the slot dimensions and smoothness using the slot control device.
• After intermediate pressing, loose the nuts in a crosswise pattern.
• Remove the NDE press plates and the clamping bolts.

Figure 4 - Clamping bolts tightening sequence


9. Because of the manufacturing process of the laminations, the fingers of the laminations are
usually slightly thicker. This small difference in thickness creates difference in height
between the inner and the outer diameter of the laminations as the stacking goes on. To
compensate this effect, it is necessary to install equalizing segments, see Figure 5.
• The equalizing segments must be interlocked with the keybars.
• The equalizing segments can be installed in stepped.
• Only one equalizing segment shall be installed between two normal laminations.
• The installation of equalizing segments in the end packages is not permitted.
• The equalizing segments must be installed in the middle of a package.

Figure 5 - Installation of equalizing segments

10. To have a uniform core, it could be necessary to have special equalizing segments that do
not interlock with the keybars. In this special case, use Nomex paper and glue it with epoxy
to the laminations.
11. Once the final stator core height is reached, proceed with the final pressing.
• Install the NDE press plates
• Fix the insulating tubes in the insulating washers. The insulating tubes shall be
introduced up to the middle of the insulating washers.
• Install the clamping bolts, spring plate, press washer, insulating tubes and insulating
washers, plain steel washers, and the nuts.
• Grease with a non-conductive grease the bearing surface of the nuts and the threads
and tighten the nuts in a sequence similar to Figure 4. A hydraulic hollow cylinder must
be used. Stretch the studs to their nominal elongation within ±5% of their nominal
calculated value.
• Try to insert a sharp paper knife on the inner and outer diameter of the core. Non
compact areas must be marked with chalk and corrected by loosening the clamping bolts
and inserting equalizing segments. Do not take off the whole pressure on the clamping
bolts. Stop loosening the clamping bolts as soon as you are able to insert the equalizing
segment. Tighten the loosened clamping bolts the nominal value.
• Verify the horizontality and the elevation tolerances.
• Measure the height of the core.
• Remove the piling guides and verify the slot dimension using the slot control device.
12. Measure the insulation resistance of the clamping bolts. Use a 500 V d.c. Megger. The
insulation resistance should be at least 10 MΩ.
13. Paint the stator core using a 2 components epoxy resin paint:
• Apply 1 coat (1 x 40 microns) on the stator bore and on the back of the core
• Apply a second coat (1 x 40 microns) on the back of the core
• Apply a thin coat (1 x 20-30 microns) in the stator core slots

15. Verify the tightening of the clamping bolts. Re-tighten the clamping bolts if required.

16. At each end of the stator core, the bore diameter of the last lamination package will be
coated with two components wiping epoxy.

17. There is no need to lock the nuts. The pre-stressing of the clamping bolts locks the nut by
itself.

2 Design of Roebel-Type Stator Bar Ends with Brazed Tabs


The design of a Roebel-type stator bar end with brazed tab is shown in Picture 1.
The conductor strands are brazed together to a solid conductor, and a tab
(connector between bars) is brazed to it.

When all stator bars are finally installed, there should be no clearance between the
brazed tabs (brazing joint) from the lower- and upper bars,(see Picture 2). The
brazed tabs must be aligned, if the brazing surfaces are not parallel to each other.

Position the bar axially as shown in the drawing (place the bar on a suitable
underlay). Insert the bar into the slot until is rests flush on the slot bottom.

Remove the surplus silicone compound from the stator after inserting the bar.

Check that no cooling ducts are blocked by surplus silicone compound.

Insert the intermediate packing or resistance elements as shown in the drawing.

After installing the bottom bar, insert an intermediate piece of the same height as
the top bar. This is needed for the provisional wedging and replaces the top bar. It
may be made of wood. Next, wedge the bar using the normal wedge and the
counter-wedge. The distance between the provisional wedges must be about
500 mm. The slots must be completely wedged before the gel time of the silicone
compound expires.

The bar must be left undisturbed in the slot for the hardening time of the silicone
compound (5 to 10 hours).

As basis serve internal ALSTOM documents as well as IEEE-Standard 43, edition 2000.

Information concerning the test procedures and insulation resistances to be complied with for the
different machine windings is set out below.

2 General specifications

2.1 Application
- Before commissioning an electrical machine or after longer shutdown periods.
- Before and after carrying out a high voltage test.
- In conjunction with the winding diagnosis for assessing the winding as regards dirt contamination
and the effects of moisture.

2.2 Principle of measurement


Apply a d.c. voltage between a part of the winding and the earthed housing or winding support (other
parts of the windings without a voltage applied, and temperature measuring detectors, should also
be earthed) and read the resistance value 1 minute after applying the voltage.
Earth the winding part concerned immediately after the measuring voltage is switched off.

2.4 Influence factors


The insulation resistance of rotor and stator windings will in the first instance depend on the
insulation system, size of the machine and surface characteristics. The following factors above all
Rev. Released

will be of major importance in insulation resistance measurements:

- surface condition of the winding (dirty)


J

- moisture
Type
ND

- temperature
9612 HTAE 60012

The temperature has a decisive effect on the insulation resistance. If the winding temperature differs
Dept. Document No.

considerably from the room temperature (> 5 °C), the measured value used in the assessment
should be converted to a reference temperature of 20 °C as follows:
R1 min (20 °C) = R1 min (t) . K
R1 min (t) = Resistance reading at temperature t
K = Temperature coefficient, Appendix page 5

Example: R1 min measured at 60 °C : 50 MΩ


R1 min (20 °C) = 50 . 10 = Ω
500 MΩ

The correction curve shown on page 5 can normally be used for all ALSTOM insulation systems.
Resistance measurements at winding temperatures below the dew point of the ambient air should be
avoided if at all possible.

2.5 Assessing the measured results of the insulation resistance


- The measured 1 min insulation resistance values with respect to 20 °C must satisfy the minimum
values specified under paragraph 3-6.

- If the minimum insulation resistance is not achieved, the cause must be ascertained before
recommissioning or carrying out a voltage test. Cleaning the critical parts of the insulation or
drying at increased temperature (approx. 80 °C) will normally suffice to produce an improvement.

2.6 Certificate
The results of the resistance measurement should be logged. The measuring voltage and winding
temperature as well as the measuring instrument used should be stated, as well as the type of
winding circuit.
The test certificates HTAE 667002 for stator windings and HTAE 667003 for rotor windings are
preferably to use.

The following additional conditions shall also apply:


• The resistance measurement should be carried out immediately before and after the voltage test,
provided that the coolant has not yet been filled. The resistance value after the voltage test may
then not drop below the minimum value and the difference between the two values should be less
than 20%.
• The above specifications shall apply irrespective of whether the cooling system is filled or not
when oil is used as the coolant.
• If water is used as the coolant, the above conditions will only apply before the coolant is filled.
Once the water has been filled in the winding, the insulation resistance will be < 1 MΩ if and will
practically only be dependent on the conductivity of the water.

If the resistance condition is complied with, a machine may be commissioned.

Generally speaking it is not considered necessary to perform a resistance measurement on each


phase separately. If such a measurement be carried out in special cases (e.g. large generators),
the following condition shall apply:

- Minimum resistance value: R1 min (phase) > 2 . R1 min (whole winding)

2 General stipulations

2.1 Application
Before the commissioning of an electrical machine or after longer shut down periods as well as in
connection with the winding diagnosis for the evaluation of the winding w.r.t. contamination and
effect of humidity, in case demanded by the customer.

2.2 Preparatory operations


• Before beginning the measurement, the temperature of the test object should be approximately
in the normal ambient temperature level (< 30 °C).
• If the test object to be investigated pertains to a direct water-cooled winding, then the following
points are to be taken into account:

- Cooling circuit filled: No polarisation index measurement possible.


- Cooling circuit drained: Provided that the cooling circuit is drained and the residual humidity
is drawn out by means of vacuum (Check through resistance meas-
urement), the measurement can be carried out in the normal way.
• If the test object has a fire protection (CO2), then it is to be blocked or switched off before com-
mencement of the measurement.
• In case of exciter windings with brushless excitation, the rectifiers (Diodes) must be protected
from over-voltages by short-circuiting. In this, all terminal connections at the cooler modules
row-wise are to be connected to one another throughout with high contact stability with a bare or
tinned copper wire. After completion of the investigations, the wires are to be again removed
carefully.
• For carrying out the measurement, all safety-engineering measures according to the applicable
safety regulations are to be complied with (set up barriers, visible earthing rods, warning notices
etc.).

3 Measuring principle, measuring protocol

3.1 Measuring principle


Between the winding of the object to be tested and the counter-electrode (e.g. the earthed rotor
shaft or the stator laminated core) a stabilised direct current of prescribed magnitude is to be ap-
plied. The insulation resistance is to be determined as per a precisely defined time program and
entered in a protocol. After that, from the quotients of the 10min- and 1min- insulation resistance,
the polarisation index is to be calculated.
After the completion of the measurement the winding is to be immediately earthed.

3.2 Measuring protocol


About the carried out insulation resistance measurement and determination of the polarisation index
a protocol is to be kept, which contains the measured values as well as all relevant details of the
test object and the measuring conditions. Preferably the measured values are to be entered in the
measuring protocol HTAE 667019.
The protocol preparation can be done manually or according to relevant computer program.

4 Carrying out the measurement

4.1 Measurement voltage


As a rule, 500 - 5000 V d.c. voltage, depending on the measuring device available and the meas-
urement voltage of the test object (In this range the magnitude of the voltage does not yet affect
practically the insulation resistance and polarisation index of dry insulations).
Table 1 reproduces the maximum permissible measuring voltages.

500 V is preferably recommended and for low voltage windings (U N < 1000 V) mandatorily pre-
scribed.

4.2 Measuring device and circuit


The test should be carried out with the help of a stabilised dc voltage source or with a qualitatively
good commercially available resistance measuring device (No-load voltage ≤ 650 V).

Illustration 1 shows the test circuit to be used. In this example, a rotor winding serves as test object.

4.3 Measuring action, data recording


• Between the winding section to be tested and the earthed frame or winding support (further
winding sections not having voltage supply and temperature measurement probes are likewise
to be earthed) a constant, if possible negative charging voltage UL (as a rule 500 - 5000 VDC,
see also Table 1) is to be applied.
• As soon as the selected charging voltage is reached, the time measurement is to be started and
depending on the measuring device used, the resistance or charging voltage values after the
relevant time periods are to be read out and protocolled.
• After reading out the 10-min value, the measuring voltage is to be switched off and the corre-
sponding winding section is to be immediately earthed.
• After that (if not directly measured) the insulation resistance values after 1 min as well as after
10 min are to be calculated (RINSUL = UL / IL) and entered in the protocol. The ratio of the 10min-
to the 1min -insulation resistance yields then the polarisation index PI.

4.4 Influencing parameters


The polarisation index of rotor- and stator windings is primarily dependent on the insulation-/ corona
protection system, machine size / winding geometry and -circuit as well as the surface conditions.
During measurements for determining the polarisation index above all the following factors are of
considerable significance
- Surface condition of the winding (degree of contamination / type of contamination),
- Humidity / Temperature.
Measurements for determining the polarisation index at winding temperatures below the dew point
of the ambient air are therefore to be avoided as far as possible.

4.5 Evaluation of the polarisation index


The polarisation index has mainly informative character and can if need be serve as comparison
basis for later measurements. Compulsory limit values will not be prescribed but should be referred
to merely as recommendations (see table 2).
As long as the absolute values of the 1min insulation resistance satisfy the relevant specifications, a
winding is regarded as fit for operation. If the insulation resistance is > 5000 MΩ even after 1 min-
ute, the polarisation index is regarded in general as insufficient evaluation criterion.

Class B 2,0

4.6 Protocol
The results of the measurement for determining the polarisation index are to be protocolled, for
which the protocol sheets HTAE 667002 and HTAE 667019 are suitable. Preferably the protocol
sheet HTAE 667019 is to be used. Besides the type of the winding circuit, the winding temperature
and the measuring voltage as well as the used measuring instrument are to be indicated. In addi-
tion, under remarks details are to be given about the external winding condition with regard to con-
tamination type and extent as well as, where applicable, humidity indications.

1 General information
This instruction describes the voltage tests on stator windings of rotating machines with rated volt-
ages > 3.3 kV.

• In connection with the winding manufacturing of rotating electrical machines and for checking
during the production of the individual winding elements, installing or assembly and after the
completion of the winding, voltage tests are to be planned.

• ALSTOM-internal documents as well as the latest IEC-Publication 60034-1 serve as basis. In


principle, testing is always done starting from the rated voltage UN of the machine (or details
of the electrical calculation).

• The instruction fixes up the timing and voltage for the testing of the various winding elements
taking into account the insulation system.

• For winding operations outside the manufacturer’s works if required, additionally the details
given in TI HTAE 60057 are to be observed.

• The present instruction will be matched regularly with the latest knowledge levels and is valid
from the date of issue of the last revision index.

out express authority is strictly forbidden. Copyright © 2009 by ALSTOM (Switzerland) Ltd.

HTAE 60031

2 Test principle, protocol

2.1 Test principle


• The prescribed test voltage is to be applied, depending on the production and assembly stage
between the winding section to be checked, i.e. stator bars or coils and the earthed stator casing
or earth coatings. Further winding sections, not connected to voltage and temperature measur-
ing probes are to be shorted and always to be earthed.

• Before connecting or after switching off the voltage, the corresponding winding section or phase
is to be immediately earthed visibly. Further the relevant safety precautions for working with high
voltage are to be observed.

• In the normal case before and after every high voltage test, an insulation resistance measure-
ment is to be carried out according to HTAE 60012. The high voltage test should normally be
done, only if the minimal insulation resistance values are complied with.
When testing individual elements (bars, coil), the insulation resistance measurement may be
omitted in the normal case (subject to customer requirements). However it is recommended to
carry out this measurement as random sampling on the first 10 bars or coils for checking per
winding type.

• The test voltage is a sinusoidal A.C. voltage with a frequency between 40 Hz and 60 Hz, with a
ratio of peak value to effective value 2 ± 5 % : 1. Normally testing is done with a 50 Hz-A.C.
voltage, irrespective of the rated frequency of the test object. The test voltage should not vary
by more than ± 5 % of the rated test voltage within the testing time.
At rated voltages from 6 kV, after consultation with the responsible technical department or the
approval of the customer respectively, even a testing with D.C. voltage is permissible. The test
voltage UDC to be applied is then determined as follows:

UDC = UAC eff x 1.7

• The test voltages are entered in the present instruction under the respective section as a func-
tion of the rated voltage UN and are valid for a customer acceptance test voltage UAP = 2UN+1kV
according to IEC60034-1.
If the customer acceptance test voltage UAP is exceptionally higher than 2UN+1kV, the test volt-
ages of the levels 4 and 5 are to be increased by the difference of the acceptance test voltage to
2UN+1kV. The following is applicable:

UP ' = UP + UAP − (2UN + 1kV )

• The voltage test should be begun with a sufficiently small voltage (less than 50 % of the pre-
scribed test voltage) and then raised evenly with a velocity of 1-2 kV/s (Normal case), or in
steps of not more than 5 % of the planned test voltage (same total voltage regulation period as
in normal case). The time for the voltage increase from half to the full test voltage value should
be minimum 10 s. The full test voltage is, unless other specifications are there, to be held for 1
minute (for special tests on unimpregnated winding elements according to curve 0 only 10 s!).
After that, the voltage is to be regulated back as evenly and as quickly as possible to zero.

• At voltages greater than about 1.1 × UN/ 3 or 1.1 UN (between phases) fine corona discharges
can occur. This is permissible, provided at the test voltage no creepage paths or pronounced
spark-overs arise.
If distinct spark discharges or creepage path formations occur, the testing is to be immediately
aborted. The cause is to be clarified and action measures taken for preventing them. In case of
creepage path formations repairs are to be carried out.

• The tests of the levels 1 - 5 are done normally at ambient conditions, irrespective of cooling me-
dium or the subsequent installing height.

Revision: Language: Page:
abcd K 09-01 en 3
HTAE 60031

• The customer acceptance test (Level 6) is done according to IEC60034-1 on completely assem-
bled generator under normal operating conditions.

• In case of direct-fluid cooled machines, with filled-in cooling medium, a minimal circulation of the
same during the voltage test is to be taken care of (min. 20 % of the rated throughflow quantity
of the cooling medium).

If the cooling medium is not filled, the stator winding must be dry (check through insulation resis-
tance). If earlier a winding leak-tightness test had been carried out by means of Helium, the
cooling circuit must first be flushed with N 2 because of the Teflon hoses.

• A voltage test should usually not be repeated in the same magnitude.

• After treating the end windings with corona protection varnishes (e.g. Phase separations) or af-
ter drawing in of pre-impregnated cords, their drying time is to be observed, before a voltage test
is permitted to be done. Normally, the drying time at an ambient temperature of 18 - 23°C is
at least 24 h.

• A voltage test is considered passed if no disruptive discharges, flash-overs or creepage path tra-
ces have formed.

2.2 Protocol

About every voltage test carried out a protocol is to be maintained, which should contain the follow-
ing details:

• Insulation type, rated voltage, customer acceptance test voltage, test voltage according to electri-
cal calculation
• Winding condition
• Winding -/ambient temperature
• Voltage type (AC or DC)
• Voltage magnitude/velocity of the voltage increase
• Test duration
• Finding
• Observations, if any (Discharges/Temperature rises)
• Insulation resistance, before and after the voltage test
• Inspector, Date.

Preferably the following test protocol sheets are to be used:

• HTAE 667010 - AC Voltage test


• HTAE 667011 - DC Voltage test
• HTAE 667012 - AC Voltage test, 3-phase
• HTAE 667013 - DC Voltage test, 3-phase

2.3 Safety measures

Electrical tests should be carried out only by trained personnel observing the general and local
safety measures.

3 Carrying out the test


• The test voltages to be applied at the different production stages are dealt with in the following
chapters:

• Chapter 4 : valid for turbo generators


• Chapter 5 : valid for hydro generators and special machines
• Chapter 6 : valid for winding connections and terminal leads of turbo generators

• It is to be noted that differentiation is made between testing the entire winding against earthed
frame or the individual phases respectively, as well as individual winding elements.

• During the testing of double Roebel bars (transposed conductors) both bar halves must be con-
nected at both ends conductively with one another!

• For the individual bar tests depending on the insulating system different, suited test voltages
come to be applied (Curves 1 – 1e).
The test voltages during the winding assembly (curves 2 - 6) are valid for all insulation systems
(Exception: Global impregnation technique / MC-System).

• For the individual bar testing of hydro generator bars at test voltages ≥ 60 kV the corona pro-
tection sleeves and stress grading layers are to be protected by means of shunt-arranged resis-
tors.
For the individual bar testing of Turbo generator bars with corona protection sleeves, a shunting
of the end control must be done only at test voltages ≥ 80 kV. For turbo generator bars without
sleeves, a shunting of the end control must be carried out, in case the following is applicable:

• End control from PETP/GlGwb Leit 10 and UN > 11kV


• End control from Leitlack LL16 and UN > 15kV

This can be achieved acc. to variant A or B.

Shunting variant A (with voltage-independent resistors)

The shunting of the end corona protection in the end winding region is done through a parallel circuit
of high voltage-/ high power resistors (lattice network). The coupling is done according to Fig. 1a
with special tension springs.

max. 4kV/cm. For subdivision of control paths see table below.

Each control box is dimensioned for a voltage of up to Urms = 45 kV and consists of 10 resistors
100 kΩ / 250 W connected in series. Between two adjacent connecting sockets the resistance is
200 kΩ (2 resistors in series).

When using n control boxes, every “n“th connecting socket (from earth terminal) is used. The other
sockets remain open (see Fig. 1a as example for 3 control boxes).

Shunting variant B (with voltage-dependent resistors)

The shunting is based on H-VL VB 65/233 or ZWT PB 219556. Resistance characteristic and build-
up of the so-called control boxes are defined in PB.
The connection of the 6 terminals of the control boxes at the bar-bows is done by means of ≤ 5 mm
wide, copper strips fitted over the corona protection according to Fig. 1b.

Slot corona protection

The corona protection layers must be clean.

The couplings (Strips, springs) must in each case lie in a plane, perpendicular to the test piece axis
and pulled taut.

The connecting cables with the control boxes must have adequate distance from one another.

The control boxes must, before using for the test be checked for being free from dust, for the pur-
pose of preventing creepage path formation. The control box resistors are to be checked with Ohm-
meter from time to time, in order to detect interruptions, if any.

The control boxes must be installed well insulated, for the purpose of preventing flash-overs to
earth.

After every test series, the resistors in the control boxes are to be scanned for uniform temperature
rise.

• Special phase bars with built-in potential coatings in the overhang must be additionally tested
with 2 x UN for 1 minute prior to installation in the overhang. In this, the slot corona protection in
the slot region and the Cu-conductor are to be earthed; the slot corona protection in the over-
hang region is to be connected to voltage.

provisional wedging, cord application etc., prior to possible heating up process.
• For H2-cooled stators, in which the winding will be additionally pressed into the slots at elevated
temperature, this testing takes place with provisionally fixed winding with connections. After the fi-
nal wedging then checking is to be done according to curve 4.
4**** Testing the winding after brazing, heat treatment, if applicable, final wedging and connections are
fitted.
5**** Acceptance test in the factory, if testing with 100 % UAP is required in the plant, and for corset ma-
chines after clamping the winding overhang, application of flooding resin, mounting of terminal con-
nections and assembly with the housing.

• Clamp the bars between 2 metal strips placed on the broad sides (provided bars are not assembled
in L-strips), which are spaced exactly at distance equal to the SPECIFIED width of bar. The length of
the strips should correspond to that of the core (slot). The strips must be connected with earth dur-
ing the test.
• In the case of no stress grading protection (stress grading varnish applied after VPI-process) a tem-
porary voltage stress grading must be applied (with PETP/Gl Gwb leit 10 tape; 1/3 overlapped),
which has to be removed after the HV-test.

Normal tests, winding elements ready for installing:


1*** Testing of the coils or bars before installing; valid for MICADUR up to operating field strength of
2.5 kV/mm.
1a Testing of the coils or bars before installing; valid for MICADUR with reduced insulation thickness up
to a maximum operating field strength of 3.0 kV/mm.
1b Testing of removed, as new bars before re-installing; valid for MICADUR.
1d Testing of the coils or bars before installing; valid for MICADUR-Silast, Semicadur,"Resin-rich"-
insulation, etc.
1e Testing of removed, as new bars before the re-installing, valid for “other insulating systems“.

Normal tests, winding elements installed:


2* Testing after installation of bottom layer with bar windings or individual sectors with coil windings dur-
ing the assembly.
4** Testing of the winding after brazing, final wedging and connections fitted.
5** After transporting the completely winded stator or stator-sector from the manufacturing factory to
power station, should undergo a transport control.
6** Acceptance test voltage on completely assembled generator at the final site.

Test conditions
Curves 1 - 5: Ambient conditions
Curve 6: Operating conditions

Test duration
Curves 1 - 6: 1 min

Additional hints
* Testing the bottom layer against the frame.
** Phase-wise testing with the connections.
In the case of single-phase machines with twin-layer concentric windings and insufficient transformer
power, subdivision is not allowed within one pole to ensure that the air gap between the two layers
will not be overstressed.
*** In case the rated electrical field strength E is remarkably lower than 2.5 kV/mm the pseudo rated volt-
age U’N has to be taken as base for the calculation of the test voltage for the single bar. The U’N is
calculated according the rated insulation thickness and the electrical field strength of 2.5 kV/mm:
kV
U ' N = 3 * d iso * 2.5
mm
Increased customer acceptance test voltage
If the customer acceptance test voltage UAP is exceptionally higher than (2UN+1kV), the test voltages of the
levels 4 and 5 are to be increased by the difference of the customer acceptance test voltage to (2UN+1kV).
Then the following is applicable:
UP ' = UP + UAP − (2UN + 1kV )

Special tests
If required, the tests according to curves 0, 1c and 3 from chapter 4 also come for application to hydro-
generators. When installing the winding at the erection site, if required, additionally the details in
TI HTAE 60057 are to be followed.

6 Turbogenerators: A.C. voltage tests on winding connections and terminal


leads

6.1 Connections without earthed surfaces

All winding and terminal lead connections of machines with acceptance test voltages UAP ≥ 37 kV
are to be tested individually before installing in the stator with the test voltage listed on the next
page in Diagram 3.

For testing, the connection conductors must be provided up to the distance l from the insulation end
(see next but one page, Diagram 4) with an earth electrode, e.g. made of aluminum foil which must
be widely wound with binding wire. In order to avoid surface discharges the connections must be
coated with overhang stress grading over the entire length.

6.2 Winding connections in compact version without grounded surfaces

The test refers to the connection groups which are manufactured, assembled and cured outside the
machine (compact connections).

• Testing phase against phase

Test in each case one input and output of one phase (according to drawing) against the remain-
ing outputs and inputs to be grounded with 1.25 • UAP for 1 minute.

Apply insulating barriers (plate material made of Hgw, Nomex etc.) to all uninsulated connection
ends if the minimum distances from points of different potential are less than 200 mm.

6.3 Testing of the complete connection unit in the installed condition against frame

Test voltage: 1.3 × UAP; Test duration: 1 min

6.4 Terminal lead connections with earthed surfaces

• Stator winding connections with earthed surface and controlled ends are to be tested, before in-
stalling in the machine for the phase-side connections with 4 × UN and the neutral point side
connections with 3 × UN for 1 minute.

• To the extent connections are put together before the assembly in the stator, these are to be
tested against one another with 1.25 × UAP for 1 minute. In this, all not yet insulated connection
ends are to be provided with insulating barriers (sheet material from Hgw, Nomex, etc.), in case
these ends do not have minimum distances of 200 mm to points of different potentials.

• At test voltages UZP ≥ 80 kV shunt-connected resistors are to be used according to details under
chapter 3 for shunting the control paths.

4.2 Wedging Directions


Electrical machines with horizontal shafts, and a stator core length of < 2 meters, should
be wedged from the non-connection side to the connection side of the winding.
Electrical machines with horizontal shafts, and a stator core length of ≥ 2 meters, should
be wedged from the center of the stator core in both directions.
Electrical machines with vertical shafts must be wedged from the driven end side to the
non-driven end side.

4.3 Determination of spacer thickness

For the determination of the spacer thickness, one ore more of the spacers are used as a
gauge.
Protection strip is fixed to the stator bar (length of slot)
Wedge, ripple-spring, and sliding strip must be installed in the stator slot, according to the
left drawing below.

4.4 Wedging
Insert the necessary spacers between the sliding strip and the protection strip. Lubricate
the counter-wedge with lubricant and drive it in its final position (flush with wedge) by using
the wedging tool and the Nylon hammer.
Make sure that the chamfered side of the counter wedge is on the side of the bar.
In case, there is not enough space to apply a sliding strip, do the following:
Insert the nessary spacers between wedge and ripple spring and drive the counter wedge
in its final position (flush with wedge) by using the wedging tool and the Nylon hammer.
Make sure that the chamfered side of the counter wedge is on the side of the bar.

4. Manufacturing

4.1 General conditions

Gloves must be worn all the time by working with the rim lamination sheets
and/or base material to prevent hand injury and corrosion initiated by hand-
sweat.

The pilot production for rim lamination sheets can be started only after successful
sample approval of all order-positions. It requires a pilot production approval
by the customer (notification min. 1 week before acceptance inspection).

The series-production for rim lamination sheets can be started only after suc-
cessful approval of the stacked sample rim. It requires a series-production ap-
proval by the customer (notification min. 1 week before acceptance inspection).

The supplier of rim lamination sheets is responsible for the sample approval and
the continuous production checks. The punched or laser-cut rim lamination
sheets have to be packed continually in order to prevent corrosion.
