Locations Where Diesel Generators are Prone to Corona Discharge

Corona is a type of partial discharge in generators, which occurs on the surface of insulation and is different from the corona near conductors under general outdoor high-voltage electric fields. It refers to the glow discharge caused by uneven electric field distribution and excessive local field strength on certain parts of the insulation surface of the high-voltage winding of the generator stator, which leads to ionization of nearby air. So where are the locations where generators are prone to corona discharge? Today, Dingbo Electric will provide a detailed explanation for everyone.

1. End band wrapping area.

 

2. At the slot of the wire rod. The winding slot is a typical sleeve type structure, and the slot electric field is very concentrated, making it the most prone to corona discharge.

 

3. Between the end opposite phase wire rods. The distribution of electric field at the end of the winding is complex, especially at the contact parts and edges between the coil and the end clamp, binding rope, and cushion block. Due to the process, it is often difficult to completely eliminate the air gap, and corona is also prone to occur in these air gaps.

 

4. Poor contact or air gap between the surface of the wire rod and the iron core slot.

 

5. At the ventilation duct of the iron core section. The ventilation channel steel has sharp edges, which can easily cause local unevenness in the electric field. In addition, it is worth noting that the generator corona is related to altitude and air humidity. The higher the altitude and the thinner the air, the lower the corona discharge voltage, while the humidity increases, the surface resistivity decreases, and the corona discharge voltage decreases. Therefore, in order to avoid the generation of corona, attention should be paid to the installation environment's sea wave height and air temperature.

 

The five aspects mentioned above are the locations where generators are prone to corona discharge. Have you gained any understanding through the above learning?

What Is the Difference Between Electric Motor and Electric Generator

An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and winding currents to generate force. In certain applications, such as in regenerative braking with traction motors, electric motors can be used in reverse as generators to recover energy that might otherwise be lost as heat and friction. An electric generator operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electric generator can be divided into various type, open type, silent type, trailer type, portable type and container type, etc. Electric generator is mainly composed of diesel engine & alternator. Electric generator set is mainly composed of engine, alternator, control module, and common base. Electric generator :- Electric generator is a type of machine which converts mechanical input (energy) into electrical output (...

Engine Fault Code Messages - Volvo Penta Engine

Volvo Penta Engine Fault Code When a malfunction has occurred and the diagnostic system has generated one or more fault codes, these are read out differently depending on the equipment used. Please refer to “Fault code messages”. If the system indicates that a fault code has been set: 1 Cut engine speed to idle, or shut the Volvo engine off. 2 For DCU/DU Read the fault code from the display, please refer to Reading fault codes via the DCU or Reading fault codes via the DU. For CIU press the diagnostic button and read the fault code, by observing the flashing of the diagnostic lamp. Refer to Reading fault codes via the diagnostic lamp, CIU. 3 Look up the fault code in the Fault Code Register chapter and take the recommended measures. Reading fault codes via the DU (Display Unit) Depending on the severity of the fault the text, either WARNING! or ALARM STOP (a buzzer sounds) will be shown on the display 1 Press any button to come to the fault list. The f...
