3 Stator ConstructionStatorThe fabricated steel plate statorframe consists of two or more sideplates continuously welded to thewrapper plates and rectangular steelblock feet to provide a rigid statorsupport. The strength of this framemaintains a uniform air gap underall operational stresses. Stator laminations are precision-punched from high-quality low-losselectrical sheet steel which are coatedwith a thermally stable insulation film(C5 coating) to minimize eddy currentlosses. The laminations are assem-bled in accurate alignment within thestator frame to form the stator ducts are formed fromsturdy I beams spaced for strengthand noise control. The core is clampedunder heavy uniform pressure in theframe to prevent distortion. The result-ingassembled stator structure hassuperior strength and rigidity, whichwill promote quiet performance, longlife and trouble-free FrameStatorGE Motors can manufacture bracketbearing machines up to 67,000 HP(50,000 kW) and offers pedestalbearing machines throughout ourproduct range.

4 The bracket frame is similar in con-struction to the Pedestal machines,except that the frame extends pastthe end of the winding in order tomount heavy gauge fabricatedsteel endshields and the type of machine has the corepiled outside of the frame. The coreis wound and then mounted intothe support of the stator coil ends iscritical to the ability of the machineto withstand the mechanical forcescaused by starting, external shortcircuits and impact loading. GE sbracing systems are specificallydesigned for the machine application,and use materials and processes togive optimum strength to withstandthe applied mechanical is KeyThe advanced insulation systemprovided on all large motor productswill reward you with many years ofreliable operation, whether on fixedor adjustable speed s insulation systems are designedto minimize the effect of localizedelectrical stress and reduce theeffects of partial discharge, increas-ing machine life and are carefully chosenfor compatibility with the system asa whole.

5 The insulation system issubjected to rigorous testing accord-ing to applicable IEEE, IEC, NEMAand API standards. All but the very largest wound statorsundergo global vacuum-pressureimpregnation (VPI) treatment. Thisprocess employs automated capaci-tance monitoring to ensure that eachstator winding is fully impregnatedwith epoxy resin. After curing, it bindsthe stator components into a solidand rigid structure with excellentdielectric strength, dimensionalstability, and mechanical also increases the resistance of thewinding to thermal shock, moistureand other contaminants.

The solid statecomponents utilized are liberallyrated and chosen specifically toendure the high mechanical andelectrical stresses experienced onthe most challenging Ring ExcitationThis arrangement consists of carbonsteel or stainless steel slip ringsmounted on, and insulated from, therotor shaft. The rings have a groovedsurface to ensure effective coolingand proper current sharing amongthe brushes. Depending upon currentloading, additional cooling can beprovided by means of annular cool-ing fins.

Reduced II is designed tocontinuously monitor and protectlarge machines from potentiallycatastrophic failures.

9 By monitoringthe field winding temperature, keycomponent temperature and fieldwinding insulation resistance, down-time can be minimized and mainte-nance can be scheduled at the firstsign of potential problems. Byemploying the latest digital teleme-try, Rotector II offers a significantadvancement over older analogtechniques. The result is high dataintegrity and accuracy even in themost difficult environments experi-enced by large machines.
