Help to trace out tag missing stator winding wire-125kva Gen set

09/27/2007 2:39 PM

Hi Everybody

I got a 125 kva Dual voltage (220/380V) 3ph alternator. Person who work on this Gen set he left the company and later I found that all 12 stator wires (U1,U2,U5,U6 V1,V2,V5,V6, W1, W2, W5 and W6) were Removed from the Alternator terminal box. Above mention tags also removed.

I need somebody's help to trace out tag missing stator winding wire and relocate them

Thanks and regards,

Edirimannage

I think what you need to do is get the rotor energised and the machine rotating and check out what appears on the various windings as to voltage and phase with the aid of an oscilloscope or other phase measuring device

The other method is apply low voltage DC to each winding one -by-one. With the help of permanent magnet compass try to find out each winding & poles (N/S). While doing this you will know the sequence of each winding to separate U,V &W. But for this you will have to dismantle the alternator. Best method is as our friend said; use CRO and multimeter to find each winding.

I have a nice little drawing for you in power point but can't load it here so if someone tells me how to do it we are all set.

Was he fired and did he object to being fired? Looks like he was a bit pissed off....

Nasty problem.

Rather than scratching my head , getting headaches and getting into the posibility of burning out windings if you make a mistake , I would do this . Take the generator apart and take the section with the windings to a motor winding repair shop . Since they work with this stuff everyday , it's likely that they can identify the leads simply by noting the physical locations where they come out of the windings . This gets the job done quicker , and leaves you with more time to do what you're trained/experienced in .

Repeating that I have a diagram for you I made in PPT but can't upload it here. Email me direct with your private email address and I sent it normal way. Double click on my name here. Or maybe someone can tell me how to upload a file here or convert a ppt file to an image.
