SUMMARYA new method for analyzing electromagnetic force in the end-winding portion of large-capacity synchronous generators is provided and evaluated in comparison with 3D FEM electromagnetic analysis. In addition, a method for estimating end-winding vibration during on-load operation is suggested by measured data at factory testing. Moreover, an evaluation method for insulation degradation after operation is proposed for large-capacity cylindrical synchronous machines, where the end-winding portion is the longest and electromagnetic forces on it are the greatest of all rotating machinery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
