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?

Diesel Generator Power Ratings: Standby vs Prime vs Continuous

Diesel generator sets are commonly used in a variety of sectors due to their dependable performance and high efficiency. They can be used for emergency power supply in the event of a power cut or used in places without connection to a power grid. When selecting a diesel generator for your home or business, you need to consider many factors, such as generator’s ratings. In this article, we’ll explain the three basic rating types - standby, prime, and continuous in diesel generators. ISO-8528-1:2018 defines basic generator set rating categories based on four operational categories: Emergency Standby Power (ESP), Prime Power (PRP), Continuous Power (COP) and Limited-Time Running Prime (LTP). Read on and learn the application of power ratings for engines used in generating sets. Standby Power Rating Standby Power(ESP) is used to supply emergency power when the external power supply is interrupted, such as power outages. Standby power rated generators can supply reliable electricity as t...

How to Connect A Diesel Generator to Your House?

Diesel generators are fuel-efficient and reliable, which can almost meet the power needs of any application. If you want to power the whole house during power shortages, it’s a good choice to choose a diesel generator set as the backup electricity supply. But how to connect a diesel generator to your house? Read on and you will find the answer. Options to connect a diesel generator to your home   Keep in mind that never plug your generator directly into the mains, or it will cause back feeding, damage your appliances and be life-threatening for utility workers. Generally, you can choose to connect a generator to your house by using extension cords or a transfer switch. Understanding the difference between them is helpful for you to choose the right type. Extension cords   Typically, extension cords are suitable for smaller diesel generators that used for short term. They require no installation and are cost-effective. If you need to power only some basic appliances such as...

What Should You Pay Attention to in Routine Maintenance of Diesel Generator Sets

In modern society, the stability of power supply is directly related to the operation efficiency of enterprises and people's quality of life. Diesel generators have become an indispensable backup power supply or main power source in various industries due to their high efficiency, durability and reliability. However, to ensure the smooth operation and optimal performance of the generator sets, regular maintenance is essential. Here is what you need to pay attention to in the routine maintenance of diesel generators. Keep your generator clean It’s important to keep the generator’s exterior and the generator room clean. Regularly remove any dirt, dust, or debris that may accumulate to on the generator’s surface. This is not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the smooth operation of the unit. Cleaning the generator’s exterior, air intake vents, exhaust outlets and generator room can effectively reduce the risk of generator overheating. In addition, check if the connection bol...
