    PT100 low insulation in generator

    Hello Electricpete Thanks a lot for your informations. Yes the generator is hydrogen cooled. The generator manufacturer installed 12 PT100. 4 probes for each phase.

    PT100 low insulation in generator

    Hello I have a PT100 probe in a generator stator (20kV). This probe have an insulation level (between probe and phase) lower than 200kOhms. What can I do with such problem. Is there a possiblity that this probe create an stator insulation failure? Does anyone have idea Thanks

    Generator short circuit current calculation

    Hello For a project, I need to calculate short-circuit current calculation following IEC60909 rules. The question is: The generator is rated 45MVA and I have the characteristics for 45MVA. The power plant where the generator will be used is dedicated to 42MVA (active power / power factor) and I...

    Bars cross section calculation

    Hello I must define the permissible permanent current on a existing bus bars. Do you know which formula must be apply to define this value when I get : Voltage : HV 13kV width : 50mm Depth : 5mm. Metal : Copper The bus bar in inside a closed local. I have the same problem with aluminium and U...

    Static excitation system performances

    Hello Thanks a lot for your answers. In order to clarify a little the purpose I'll give you some more explanation : 1) The transformer supplying the excitation is directly connected to the generator terminals 2) Concerning compounding, nothing is forseen in this way, probably due to the...

    Static excitation system performances

    Hello The short-circuit involved on this case is a three phases short-circuit. The transformer short-circuit voltage is 23%. I don't know the inertia of the complete shaft (generator + gaz turbine + steam turbine). The inertia of the generator alone is around 0.85kWs/kVA. ( I think between 3 and...

    Static excitation system performances

    Hello I'm working on a power plant in France (around 500MVA). On this PP the generator is excited by a static excitation system and in the french rules it must be capable to whistand a short-circuit just after step-up transformer during 300ms without loss of synchronism. Due to this excitation...
