Electromagnetic Force and Mechanical Response of Turbo-Generator End Winding under Electromechanical Faults

This paper comparatively studies the electromagnetic force and mechanical response of the end winding before and after 3 kinds of typical electromechanical faults in turbo-generator. The analytical expression of electromagnetic force of end winding is derived under the composite fault of static eccentricity and rotor interturn short circuit. Meanwhile, the three-dimensional transient finite element simulation is carried on, and the frequency composition and amplitude variation characteristics of the radial, axial, and tangential electromagnetic force are analyzed for the end windings under static eccentricity, rotor interturn short circuit, and composite fault. Therefore, it provides a reference for the vibration wear detection and electromagnetic force control of the end winding. Moreover, the maximum stress and deformation of different positions on the end involute are obtained. And the three-directional vibration acceleration characteristics of the end winding are further analyzed. Finally, the distribution law of winding fatigue failure and vibration wear is acquired, which lays a foundation for the reverse suppression of end winding fatigue failure and insulation wear.
