INVESTIGATION ON STATOR AND ROTOR VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF TURBO-GENERATOR UNDER AIR GAP ECCENTRICITY FAULT

Abstract

This paper investigates the stator and the rotor vibration characteristics of turbo-generator under the air gap eccentricity fault. Firstly the air gap magnetic flux density of the fault is deduced, and the formula of the magnetic pull per unit area acting on the stator and the unbalanced magnetic pulls of x-axis and y-axis acting on the rotor are respectively gotten. Then the static eccentricity, the dynamic eccentricity and the mixed eccentricity are respectively studied to analyze the stator and the rotor vibration characteristics. Finally experiments are done on a SDF-9 non-salient fault simulating generator to verify the theoretical results. The investigation results of this paper will be beneficial to the air gap eccentricity fault diagnosis of turbo-generator.
