 Advantages of Total Impregnated generator

+ PARTIAL DISCHARGES ARE REDUCED, RESULTING IN BETTER LIFE OF

MACHINE
+ NO POSSIBILITY OF CORE OR BAR LOOSENESS: Thus a major cause of
failure, resulting in stator earth faults is eliminated.
+ NO POSSIBILTY OF LOOSENESS IN STATOR WINDING OVERHANG: Lesser
overhang vibrations. Glue injection in overhang is not required.
+ NO POSSIBILTY OF WEDGE LOOSENESS -
Wedge tightness checking not required. Rotor withdrawl during initial
inspection not required.
+ LESSER MAINTENANCE
+ LESSER OVERHAUL TIME
+ REDUCTION
IN SPARES INVENTORY - STATOR BARS AND STATOR SLOT
WEDGES ARE NO MORE REQUIRED AS SPARES
