OBJECTIVE:
INTRODUCTION:
Maximum

STATOR,
ROTOR,
EXCITATION SYSTEM,
COOLING SYSTEM,
INSULATION SYSTEM,
BEARINGS.
WHAT IS
INSULATION?
Insulation
machines.
Insulation is the property which has
enormous resistance to the conductivity .
PROPERTIES:
1. ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES
2. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
3. THERMAL PROPERTIES
4. CHEMICAL PROPERTIES
VACCUM PRESSURE
IMPREGNATION:
Dr.
MEYER
brought the
VPI system
with the
collaboration of
WESTING
HOUSE In the
year 1956.

RESIN MANAGEMENT:
The
The
Hardner
Catalyst
The resin is again tested for the increase in its viscosity at 60c
after 20 hours heating at 100c; the maximum value at this
point is 9m poise.

PREHEATING
CHAMBER
The
completed
stator is
placed in
impregnatio
n vessel
and kept in
an oven for
a period of
12 hours at
a
temperature
of 60c.
Hydraulic lift
The preheated
job next will be
placed in the
impregnation
chamber by a
hydraulic
VACCUM CYCLE:
Vacuum is created so that the dust and the moisture
are removed from the job if any. The total stator is
subjected for vacuum cycle. After obtaining 0.2
millibar, the total stator is subjected for 9 hours, then
vacuum drop test is conducted.
DROP TEST:
In this test all the vacuum pumps are stopped and the
vacuum drop is checked.
Drop should not be greater than 0.06mbar.

TESTING PERFORMANCE OF
RESIN POOR SYSTEM:
BEFORE IMPREGNATION FOLLOWING TESTS ARE
CARRIED OUT:
1. BOTTOM LAYER TEST
2. TOP LAYER TEST
3. INTER CONNECTION CHECKING
4. A.C HIGH VOLTAGE TEST
5. MECHANICAL RUN TEST
APPLICATIONS:
All very high rating generators, with
rugged usage, i.e., generally in power
plants.(100MW-150MW)
Equipment exposed to frequent surges,
like terminal equipments.
Harsh or moist environment.
CONCLUSION:
Considering the manifold advantages of VPI System of
insulation the leading manufacturers of World are going
to adopt this system for generators up to 400 MW with
.
hydrogen gas cooling.
It has better thermal, electrical,
mechanical and chemical properties and its life time is
about 54o years.
In view of the above, in the coming decades the Indian
grids will use more of such generators. In the scenario
of World market which demands generators with less
cost at the best possible time with better reliability VPI
system of insulation will provide most viable solution.
