Generator for seismic location

No problem for most common generators... 0,5 g is practically nothing. Normal operation will be about 3-4 g's (but at running speed, not seismic frequencies).

If the building can take it, the generator can.

Remember that generator and turbine are on the same frame and probably will have an automatic shutdown system - can the system take a "fast" shutdown, but -

a lot of things are not on the same frame...fuel (gas or diesel) and hydraulic lines, exhaust, emissions treatment, etc. and differential movement can make life troublesome;

Turbine components-nozzles and fuel lines going thereto on the turbine must withstand the shock and potential differential movement;

Consider not to be inside a building;

Consider in a building you will most likely have a travelling crane over the top...make sure it stays on tracks and that the tracks don't come off;

Consider also that you need a good very well compact fill beneath your slabs/beams;

So the issue is not whether the turbine will survive - it is everything else ALSO.

My apologies, I read it too fast and misunderstood.

I would suspect that if you have a spec for a Siemens machine, that other brands will be similar..But I don't know.

I am curious why you are asking here? Why not fire off an e-mail to GE, Mitsubishi, and Hitachi, and ask them?

I appreciate your notes and advice, but to prepare the proposal for hydrogen cooled generator or even TEWAC according sophisticated seismic requirements costs a lot of effort and time, which I have not.

regarding your suspect, in California or in Chille are instalations of steam turbines and someone must designed generator for that applications....

I was trying to get information about REAL installations....
