Homopolar generation

Hi

Can you help me with the homopolar generation phenomenon, turbine rub, superheated steam electrical characteristics and the bearing current pitting.

Thanks for the info. Yes the basics are okay.

I am looking for discussions/explanations with respect to superheated steam in HP turbines which involves dry steam at very high temperatures.

I am planning to conduct measurements of mag levels on HP turbine casings and demag if necessary. Any comments on these please.
