Cleaning of Stator Winding

Regardless of whether there is or there isn't, there should be appropriate guidance in the User Manual for a piece of equipment this size. What does it say?

1) first you should TURN OFF the generator; 2) Wait until is cooled ; 3) breed deeply and relax... 3.1) dont use acids 4) read the manual ... and dont use fire !

Depending on the stator winding contamination type.

.

When the contamination is dust mixed with oil, you should used a chemical electric cleaner, when contamination is light dust, wipe all accessible surface areas with a clean cloth, the remaining dust accumulation on the inaccessible area to be blown out by low pressure dry air used dry air only (normally we used N2) blowing on the winding used +/- 15 psi, and the remaining dust to be removed by a clean cloth with dampened by fluid cleaner.

SHARP EDGE METAL TOOLS OR OTHER DEVICES WHICH COULD CAUSE CUTS OR ABRASIONS ( Ex. HARD BRUSHES ] HAS NOT PERMITTED TO BE USED,

Careful, when your generator higher than 11 kV, stator winding is provided with the stress grading insulation and its could be damaged when you used a hard devices for cleaning.

Stress grading insulation is used to minimize of electric field at end of core stator
