This chapter discusses the inspection and condition assessment of steam turbines and generators. It notes that advances in these machines allowed increased output capacity through improvements in
Three key pieces of such a pro-gram are monitoring and diagnostics, inspection and nondestructive evaluation (NDE), and turbine repair. This brief document summarizes the latest procedures and
Goltens Rotterdam''s in-place machining experts got the call to machine two sets of slip rings on a 43-year-old BBC generator with heavily worn slip rings. Evaluation with a straight edge showed a highly
Using our advanced phased array ultrasonic inspection provides detection of generator shaft keyway cracking from the outside surface of the generator shaft — without the need for coupling removal.
Our machining capabilities include the ability to on-site or in-shop repair horizontal joints on turbine casings, damaged valves, rotors, and nearly any rotating or stationary turbine-generator component.
Corrosion between brushes and slip ring or some current flow when generator was shut down are possibilities. I would recommend to polish the slip ring in question, or both.
The present invention relates to the field of steam turbine generator static magnetic excitation technology, and provided is a connection structure for an electric generator rotating shaft
