	Hi This is my first time on this site. I would like to introduce myself. I am working in the group of MI - strength and dynamics calculation. My company has a contract to retrofit of LP part of Widows Creek unit 7 steam turbine (TVA). I am looking for information about the turbo generator (575MW) which was delivered by GE (our competitor) especially I am interested of data (model, mass (weight), moment of inertia) the bearing diameter are 24". Maybe somebody can give me an advice about the GE generators?

	To me, this sounds like industrial spying, even if I had such info I would not supply it for such use. Contact GE directly and get what you can in a legal & moral manner.....check their web site out.... __________________ "What others say about you reveals more about them, than it does you." Anon.

	There is a good chance that your customer (TVA) has the data. They should have had at one time.

	You are right but it was suprised for me thar they have not this data ( lenght ,mass and moment of inertia, output power).We are asking our Client through our representative but maybe it must take some time.

	GE provides outstanding O&M manuals to their customers. All of the information you seek is usually provided in the manual, either in tabular form or on the outline drawings. TVA should still have at least 1 decent copy around somewhere. As a last resort, I believe GE Power Services keeps a microfiche copy of every manual. You could have your client contact GE directly to obtain a replacement manual. __________________ Experience: The knowledge you gain just AFTER you needed it.
