INDUSTRIAL TRAINING REPORT 1
PREFACE
Practical knowledge means the visualization of the knowledge, which we read

in our books. For this, we perform experiments and get observations. Practical knowledge
is very important in every field. One must be familiar with the problems related to that
field so that he may solve them and become a successful person.
After achieving the proper goal in life, an engineer has to enter in professional
life. According to this life, he has to serve an industry, may be public or private sector or
self-own. For the efficient work in the field, he must be well aware of the practical
knowledge as well as theoretical knowledge.
To be a good engineer, one must be aware of the industrial environment and must
know about management, working in the industry, labor problems etc. so he can tackle
them successfully.
Due to all the above reasons and to bridge the gap between theory and practical,
our engineering curriculum provides a practical training of 30 days. During this period, a
student works in the industry and gets all type of experience and knowledge about the
working and maintenance of various types of machinery.
I have undergone my summer training (after 3rd yr.) at BHARAT HEAVY

ELECTRICALS LIMITED. This report is based on the knowledge, which I acquired
during my training period at the plant.

CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
In 1956, India took a major step towards the establishment of its heavy
engineering industry when Bharat Heavy Electrical Ltd., the first heavy electrical
manufacturing unit of the country was setup at Bhopal. It progressed rapidly and three
more factories went into production in 1965. The main aim of establishing BHEL was to
meet the growing power requirement of the country.
B.H.E.L appeared on the power map of India in 1969 when the first unit supplied
by it was commissioned at the Basin Bridge Thermal Power Station in Tamil Nadu.
Within a decade, BHEL had commissioned the 100th unit at Santaldih. West Bengal.
BHEL had taken India from a near total dependence on imports to complete self-reliance
in this vital area of power plant equipment BHEL has supplied 97% of the power
generating equipment. BHEL has already supplied generating equipment to various
utilities capable of generating over 18000 MW power. Today BHEL can produce
annually; equipment capable of generating 6000MW. This will grow further to enable
BHEL to meet all of India.s projected power equipment requirements. As well as sizeable
portion of export targets.
Probably the most significant aspect of BHEL.s growth has been its
diversification. The constant reorientation of the organization to meet the varied needs in
time with time a philosophy that has led to the development of a total capability fromconcepts to
commissioning not only in the field of energy but also in industry and
transportation.

The general components of a turbo generator are
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
• Stator
 Stator Frame
 Stator Core
 Stator Windings
 End Covers
• Rotor
 Rotor Shaft
 Rotor Windings
 Rotor Retaining Rings
• Bearings
• Cooling System
• Excitation
STATOR
Stator Frame
The stator frame is of welded steel single piece construction. It supports the
laminated core and winding. It has radial and axial ribs having adequate
strength and rigidity to minimize core vibrations and suitably designed to
ensure efficient cooling. Guide bars are welded or bolted inside the stator
frame over which the core is assembled. Footings are provided to support the
stator foundation.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
Stator Core
The stator core is made of silicon steel with high permeability and low hysteresis and eddy
current Losses. The sheets are suspended in the stator frame from insulated guide bars. Stator
laminations are coated with synthetic varnish; are stacked and held between sturdy steel
clamping plates with non-magnetic pressing fingers which are fastened or welded to the stator
frame.
In order to minimize eddy current losses of rotating magnetic flux which interact with the core is
built of thin laminations. Each lamination layer is made of individual segments. The segments
are punched in one operation from electrical sheet steel lamination having a high silicon content
and are carefully deburred. The stator laminations are assembled as separate cage core without
the stator frame. The segments are staggered from layer to layer so that a core of high
mechanical strength and uniform permeability to magnetic flux is obtained. On the outer
circumference the segments are stacked on insulated rectangular bars which hold them in
position.
To obtain optimum compression and eliminate looseness during operation the laminations are
hydraulically compressed and heated during the stacking procedure. To remove the heat, spaced
segments are placed at intervals along the core length which divide the core into sections to
provide wide radial passages for cooling air to flow.
Stator Winding Construction

The stator windings consist of two layers made of individual bars. To minimize losses, bars are
composed of separately insulated strands which are transposed by 360 degrees. To minimize
stray losses in end windings, strands of top and bottom bars are separately brazed and insulated
from each other.
Each bar consists of a large number of separately insulated strands to reduce the skin effect
losses. In straight slot portion, the strands are transposed by 360 degrees. The transposition
provides for mutual neutralization of voltages induced in the individual strands due to slot cross
field and ensures that no or small circulating currents exist in the bar interior. The current
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
flowing through the bar is thus distributed uniformly over the entire cross section of a bar so that
the current dependent losses will be reduced.
INSULATION OF BARS
High voltage insulation is provided with thermosetting system. A voltage insulation obtained by
vaccum press impregnation is particularly void free with excellent electrical, mechanical and
thermal properties. To prevent corona discharge between the insulation and slot wall, a final layer
of conductive tape is applied to the surface of all bars within the slot range. All bars are
conditionally provided with an end corona protection to control the electric filed at the transition
from slot to the end winding portion and to prevent the formation of creepage sparks.
(A) Vaccum Press Impregnated Micalastic High Voltage Insulation

The high voltage insulation is provided according to the proven resin poor mica base of
thermosetting epoxy system. Several half overlapped continuous layer of resin poor mica type
are applied over the bars. The number of layers or thickness of insulation depends on machine
voltage.
The bars are inserted into the slots with very small lateral clearance and wedged with packers. To
prevent moment of end windings in circumferential direction, spacer blocks are arranged
between the bars and firmly with treated glass tapes. To minimize the effect of radial forces,
winding holders and insulated rings are used to support the overhang.
The stator is impregnated in a tank under vaccum and pressure with low viscosity epoxy resin
that penetrates the winding thoroughly. After impregnation, the stator is cured at at appropriate
temperature in an oven.
The high voltage insulation thus obtained is characterized by its excellent electrical, mechanical
and thermal properties. Its moisture absorption is extremely low and it is oil resistant. The
behavior of the insulation is far superior to any other conventional mica tape insulation system.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
(B) Corona Protection

To prevent a potential difference and possible corona discharges between the
insulation and slot wall, the slot sections of bars are provided with an outer
corona protection. This protection consists of polyester fleece tape
impregnated in epoxy resin with carbon and graphite as filters.
At the transition from slot to the end winding portion of stator bars a semi-
conductive tape made of polyester fleece is impregnated with silicon carbide
as filler is applied for a specific length. This ensures uniform control of the
electric field and prevents the formation of corona discharge during
operation and performance of HV tests.
End Covers
The end covers are made of fabricated steel or aluminum alloy castings.
They are employed with guide vanes on inner side for ensuring uniform
distribution of cooling air or gas.
ROTOR
Solid rotors are manufactured from forged alloy steel with suitable alloying elements to achieve
very high mechanical and superior magnetic properties. Rectangular or trapezoidal rotors slots
are accurately machined to close tolerances on slot milling machine. For indirectly cooled
generator rotors, ventilation slots are machined in the teeth.
For directly cooled rotors, Sub slots are provided for cooling Generators rotors of 1500 RPM are
of round laminated construction. Punched and varnished laminations of high tensile steel are
mounted over machined shaft are firmly clamped by end clamping plates.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
Rotor Shaft
Rotor shaft is a single piece solid forming manufactured form a vaccum casting. It is forged from
a vaccum cast steel ignot. Slots for insertion or the field winding are milled into rotor body. The
longitudinal slots are disturbed over the circumference such that two solid poles are obtained.
To ensure that only a high quality product is obtained, strength tests, material analysis and
ultrasonic tests are performed during the manufacture of rotor. The high mechanical stresses
resulting from the centrifugal forces and short circuit torque call for a high specified mechanical
and magnetic properties as well as homogeneous forging. After completion, the rotor is balanced
in various planes at different speeds and then subjected the rotor is balanced in various planes at
different speeds and then subjected to an over speed test at 120% of the rated speed for two
minutes.
The rotor consists of electrically active portion and two shaft ends. Approximately 60% of rotor
body circumference has longitudinal slots which hold the field winding. Slot pitch is selected so
that the two solid poles are displaced by 180 degrees. The rotor wedges act as damper winding
within the range of winding slots. The rotor teeth at the ends of rotor body are provided with
axial and radial holes enabling the cooling air to be discharged into the air gap after intensive
cooling of end windings
Rotor Winding
The windings consist of several coils inserted into the slots and series connected such that two
coil groups form one pole. Each coil consists of several series connected turns, each of which
consists of two half turns connected by brazing in the end section. The rotor bearing is made of
silver bearing copper ensuring an increased thermal stability. The individual turns of coils are
insulated against each other by interlayer insulation.
The slot wedges are made o high electrical conductivity material and thus act as damper
windings. At their ends the slot wedges are short circuited through the rotor body.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
 Construction
The field winding consists of several series connected coils inserted into the longitudinal slots of
rotor body. The coils are wound so that two poles are obtained . The solid conductors have a
rectangular cross section and are provided with axial slots for radial discharge or cooling air. All
conductors have identical copper and cooling duct cross section. The individual bars are bent to
obtain half turns. After insertion into one slot constitute one coil. The individual coils of rotor are
connected in a way that one north and one south pole is obtained.
 CONDUCTOR MATERIAL
The conductors are made of copper with a silver content of approximately 0.1%. As compared to
electrolytic copper, silver alloyed copper features high strength properties at high temperatures
so that coil deformations due to thermal stresses are eliminated.
 INSULATION
The insulation between the individual turns is made of layer of glass fiber laminate. The coils are
insulated from the rotor body with L- shaped strips of glass fiber laminate with nomex interlines.
To obtain the required leakage paths between the coil and rotor body thick top strips of glass
fiber laminate are inserted below top wedges. The top strips are provided with axial slots of the
same cross section and spacing as used on the rotor winding.
 ROTOR SLOT WEDGES
To protect the winding against the effects of centrifugal forces, the winding is secured in the slots
with wedges. The slot wedges are made of copper alloy featuring high strength and good
electrical conductivity. They are also used as damper winding bars. The slot wedges extend
beyond the shrink seats of retaining rings. The wedge and retaining rings act on the damper
winding in the event of abnormal operations. The rings act as a short circuit rings in the damper
windings.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
 Rotor Reatining Rings
The centrifugal forces of the rotor end winding are contained by single piece rotor retaining
rings. Retaining rings are made of non-magnetic high strength steel in order to reduce stray
losses. Each retaining ring with its shrink fitted. Insert ring is shrunk on the rotor in an overhang
position. The retaining ring is secured in the axial position by snap rings.
The rotor retaining rings withstand the centrifugal forces due to end windings. One end of each
ring is shrunk fitted on the rotor body while the other end overhangs the end windings without
contact on the rotor shaft. This ensures an unobstructed shaft deflection at end winding.
The shrunk on hub on the end of the retaining ring serves to reinforce the retaining ring and
secures the end winding in the axial direction at the same time. A snap ring is provided against
axial displacement of retaining ring. The shrunk seat of currents. To reduce the stray losses and
have high strength, The rings are made of non magnetic, cold worked materials.
 ROTOR FANS
The cooling air in generator is circulated by two axial flow fans located on the rotor shaft one at
each end. To augment the cooling of the rotor winding, the pressure established by the fan works
in conjunction with the air expelled from the discharge parts along the rotor. The blades of the
fan have threaded roots for being screwed into the rotor shaft. The blades are drop forged from
aluminium alloy. Threaded root fastenings permit angle to be changed. Each blade is secured at
its root with a threaded pin.
BEARINGS
The turbo generators are provided with pressure lubricated self - aligning elliptical type bearings
to ensure higher mechanical stability and reduced vibration in operation. The bearings are
provided with suitable temperature element devices to monitor bearing metal temperature in
operation.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
The temperature of each bearing is monitored with two RTDs (Resistance Thermo Detectors)
embedded in the lower bearing sleeve such that the measuring point is located directly below the
babbit. These RTDs are monitored a temperature scanner in the control panel and annunciated if
the temperature exceeds the prescribed limits. All bearings have provisions for fitting vibration
pickups to monitor shaft vibrations.
To prevent damage to the journals due to shaft currents, bearings and oil piping on either side of
the non-drive end bearings are insulated from the foundation frame. For facilitating and
monitoring the healthiness of bearing insulation, split insulation is provided.
VENTILATION AND COOLING
Turbo generators are designed with the following ventilation systems:
• Closed circuit air cooling with water or air coolers mounted in the pit.
• Closed circuit hydrogen cooling with water or hydrogen coolers mounted axially on the
stator frame.
The fan design usually consists of two axial fans on either made of cast aluminum with integral
fan blades or forged and machined aluminum with integral fan blades or forged and machined
aluminum alloy blades screwed to the rotor. In case of 1500 RPM generators, fabricated radial
fans are provided.
EXCITER
The exciter is brushless mainly consisting of:
The brushless exciter is an AC exciter with rotating armature and stationary field. The armature
is connected to rotating rectifier bridges for rectifying AC voltage induced in the armature to DC
voltage.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
The pilot exciter is a PMG (Permanent Magnet Generator). The PMG is also an AC machine
with stationary armature and rotating field (the permanent magnets).When the generator rotates
at the rated speed, the PMG generates 220v at 150 Hz to provide power supply to automatic
voltage regulator.
A common shaft carries the rectifier wheels the rotor of the main exciter and the permanent
magnet rotor of the pilot exciter. The shaft is rigidly coupled to the generator rotor and exciter
rotors are then supported on three bearings.

CHAPTER 8
BAR WINDING
BAR WINDINGS
Bar winding is carried out in separate shop in BHEL factory, Haridwar .This shop is meant for
manufacturing of stator winding coils of generator that may be Turbo-generator or Hydro-
generator. Bars manufactured are of standard capacity such as 100MW, 130MW, 210/235MW,
500MW.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
Stator Bar Winding
It is quite difficult (rather impossible) to manufacture, handle and wind the coil in slot of
generator of higher generation capacity because of its bigger size and heavy weight.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
OVERVIEW OF GENERATOR STATOR
That is why we make coil in two parts. They are:
• Bottom part (called as lower bar)
• Top part (called as upper part)
Manufacturing process of Bars
The manufacturing procedure for bars can be classified as follows-
 Conductor cutting:
This process is done by automatic CNC machine In this process the pre
insulated copper conductor is cut into number of pieces of required length
(as per given design).Insulation is removed from the both ends of copper
conductor cut.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
 Transposition :
Transposition means changing/shifting of position of each conductor in active

core (slot) part. After cutting the required number of conductor ,the
conductors are arranged on the comb in staggered manner and then bends
are given to the conductor with the help of bending die at required distance
.Then the conductors are taken out from the comb and die and placed with
their ends in a line and transposition is carried out. This process is repeated
for making another half of the bar which would be mirror image of the first
half .The two halves of the bar are overlapped over each other and a spacer
is placed between the two halves.
 Crossover insulation:
The pre insulation of the copper conductor may get damaged due to
mechanical bending in die during transposition, hence the insulation spacers
are provided at the crossover portion of the conductors .A filler material
( insulating putty of moulding micanite ) is provided along the height of the
bar to maintain the rectangular shape and cover the difference of level of
conductors.
 Stack Consolidation:
The core part of the bar stack is pressed in press (closed box) under pressure
(varies from product to product) and temperature of 1600C for a given period
.The consolidated stack is withdrawn from the press and the dimensions are
checked.
 Inter strand short test:
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
The consolidated bar stack is tested for the short between any two
conductors in the bar. If found then it has to be rectified.
 Forming:
The straight bar stack is formed as per overhang profile (as per design). The
overhanging portion is consolidated after forming.
 Brazing of coil lugs:
For water cooled generator bars, the electrical connection contact and water
box for inlet and outlet of water are brazed.
 Nitrogen leak test:
The bar is rested for water flow test , nitrogen leak test and pressure test for
given duration.
 Thermal Sock Test:
The cycles of hot (800C) and cold (300C) water are flew through the bar to
ensure the thermal expansion and contraction of the joints.
 Helium Leakage Test:

After thermal shock test bar is tested for any leakage with the help of Helium
gas.
 Insulation:
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
The bar is insulated with the given number of layers to build the wall
thickness of insulation subjected to the generating voltage of the machine.
Impregnation and Baking:
• Thermoelectric system:
In case of rich resin insulation the bar is pressed in closed box in heated condition and baked
under pressure and temperature for a given period.
• Micalastic Sytem:
In case of poor resin system the insulated bars are heated under vaccum and the impregnated
(dipped) in heated resin so that all the air gaps are filled layer by layer with resin. Then extra
resin is draied and bars are heated and baked under pressure condition in closed box fixture.
 VPI Micalastic System: The bars already laid in closed fixture and full
fixture is impregnated (dipped) in resin and then fixture with box is baked under given
temperature for given duration.
 VIP Micalastic System : The individual (separate) bar is heated in vaccum

and impregnated in resin. Then bar is taken out and pressed in closed bx fixture and then
baked at given temperature for given duration.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
Finishing:
The baked and dimensionally correct bars are sanded-off to smoothen the edges and the surfaces
is calibrated, if required, for the dimension.
Conducting Varnish Coating:

• OCP (Outer Corona Protection) Coating: The black semi conducting varnish coating is
applied on the bar surface on the core length
• ECP (End Corona Protection) Coating: The gray semi conducting varnish is applied at the
bent outside core end of bars in gradient to prevent from discharge and minimize the end corona.
Testing:
• Tan Test: This test is carried to ensure the healthiness dielectric (insulation) i.e.
then or rare and measure the capacitance loss.
• HV Test: The each bar is tested momentarily at high voltage

increased gradually to three times higher than rated voltage.
Dispatched for Winding:

The bar preserved with polythene sleeves to protect from dust, dirt, oil, rain, etc are send to block
1 for winding.

CHAPTER 9
Failure of generator stator conductor
INTRODUCTION
Reliable operation of generator is highly dependent on the electrical and mechanical integrity of
stator winding. Failure of generator stator conductor due to electrical or mechanical problems
will lead to long force outage of the unit resulting into huge revenue loss. As per our experience,
most of the epoxy mica insulated generator stator conductor failure occurs due to loss of
mechanical integrity of either overhang conductor or core looseness.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
CASE STUDY
The Generators of 200MW units are designed by M/S Electrosila, Russia and manufactured by
BHEL. The stator winding of generators are directly cooled by de-mineralized water passing
through hollow conductors of the stator winding. Stator core and rotor are cooled by pressurized
hydrogen gas. The rating of the generator is 235MVA, 15.75KV, 0.85lag, 3-phase, double star
connection and 3000rpm.
The generators are having 60 slots with 2 nos. stator windings per slot. Each stator winding
conductor is made of both hollow and solid conductors. DM water passes through hollow
conductors for conductor cooling. DM water pressure is maintained less than casing hydrogen
pressure to prevent entry of water into the generator in case of hollow conductor leakage. For
detecting hydrogen gas leakage through stator conductor, gas trap device has been provided.
The stator winding conductors are insulated by ‘F’ class epoxy based mica insulation. Overhang
conductors of stator winding are supported on stator casing by fiber glass ring and fiber glass
blocks. Conductors at overhang are tied with the fiber glass ring by polyester cord. Near the exit
point of the conductor from core, one epoxy putty ring was made to reduce overhang conductor
vibration. Top and side ripple spring has been provided in the slot to further reduce conductor
vibration.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
After removing the insulation, crack was detected in the first bend of copper
conductor. L shaped Aluminum support bracket just below the defective bar
at 5 O’ clock position supporting phase connector 55B-C5 was found broken
.Some blocks of supporting bracket at 11 O’ clock position was found loose
.Black paste was found at the slot exit in top and bottom part of overhang
.Paste like fretting product was found in the putty ring area and overhang
support area.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
Minor cracks were also observed in the overhang support brackets. After
replacement of defective bends, machine was taken into service.
ANALYSIS OF PROBLEM
To detect the root cause of repeated failure fractography analysis of the cracked surface of copper
conductor was carried out. The analysis indicates that the crack has developed due to fatigue.
Fatigue has developed due to repetitive loading caused by conductor vibration at the overhang
region. No sign of overheating or corrosion was observed. Failure of aluminum support bar also
indicates presence of vibration in the overhang region. The fractography analysis of the fracture
surface of the aluminum support indicates presence of beach mark caused by fatigue.
The above observation indicates presence of high overhang conductor vibration. The presence of
fretting product also indicates overhang conductor support looseness and subsequent vibration of
the overhang conductor.
During shut down of the machine in June-05, natural frequency testing of overhang conductors
revels that at 4 places natural frequency was near 100HZ particularly at the places where failure
has taken place. The matching of natural frequency with core vibration frequency i.e. 100HZ
resulted in excessive conductor vibration due to resonance when the generator is in service. The
presence of excessive overhang conductor vibration has caused repeated failure of overhang
conductor.
SRMCEM,LUCKNOW
Overhang conductor of these types of generators are supported by fiberglass ring and blocks.
Gaps between fiberglass ring and overhang conductors are filled by glass webbing soaked in
epoxy resin. But when the support blocks are tightened, some micro gaps exist in tangential
direction.
Secondly epoxy resin shrinks when it is cured. Due to this property of resin, micro gaps are
formed between conductors and its support after prolong operation.
So when machine is in operation, due to presence of micro gaps between conductor and support,
the support and conductor will not vibrate as a monolithic mass. This will cause further looseness
of conductor and subsequent increase of amplitude of vibration. Conductor vibration will
become severe when natural frequency of conductor approaches to 100HZ (core vibration
frequency) and will result into failure.
CONCLUSION
Looseness of overhang conductor (where overhang conductor is supported by fiber glass blocks,
rings and tied by lacing) will occur after prolong operation of the machine. By measuring natural
frequency of overhang conductor during overhaul, this type of problem can be detected at a very
early stage and corrective action can be taken to avoid premature failure of stator winding
conductor.
BHEL carries out the measurement of natural frequency of epoxy mica insulated overhang
conductor (where overhang conductor is supported by fiber glass blocks, rings and tied by
lacing) of generators during generator overhaul and corrective actions were taken on the basis of
natural frequency of conductor.
