CHAPTER 2 CIM SHOP (BLOCK IV)

BAY-1: Bar winding shop: Manufacturing of stator winding bars of generator, Micalastic Tank & OvenBAY-2: Heavy duty generator stator bars with New CNC M/c No, 3-464 i.e. Roebel bar centre, TIG WeldingBAY-3: Insulation detail shop: Manufacturing of hard insulation & machining of hares insulation part (Glass textolite) such as packing, washer, insulation box, wedges etc. & CNC Taping MachineBar Shop: This shop is meant for manufacturing of stator winding coils of generator that may be turbo-generator or hydro-generator.Why do we call it bar: It is quite difficult (rather impossible) to manufacture, handle and wind the coil in stator slot of generator of higher generation capacity because of its bigger size and heavy weight. That is why we make coil in two parts. One part is Bottom part of coil called bottom or tower bar and other part of coil is called top bar or upper bar.

TURBO-GENERATORS: The manufacturing of bars of standard capacity such as: 100MW, 130MW, 150Mw, 210/235MW, 500MW, 600MW.The plant has capacity and technology to manufacture 660MW, 800MW and 1000MW generators.

TYPES OF GENERATORS:

The generator may be classified based upon the cooling system used in the generators such as-THRI, TARI, THDI, THDD, THDF, THFF, THW.T-> First alphabet signifies the type of generator i.e. turbo-generator or Hydro-generator.H/A-> Second alphabet stands for the coding media used for the cooling of rotor i.e. hydrogen gas or air.R/D/F/I-> Third alphabet signifies the type of cooling or rotor e.g. radial, indirect, forced, direct etc.I/D/F-> Last alphabet stands for the type of cooling of stator e.g. indirect cooling, direct cooling, forced cooling.W-> Cooling media used for cooling of stator coil e.g. water.

TYPES OF INSULATION Thermal classification depends upon the temperature withstand capability of the insulation.

CHAPTER 3 MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF BARS

Some Points of Manufacturing Process are in brief as below:-1.Conductor Cutting This process is done by automatic CNC machine. In this process the pre-insulated copper conductor is cut into number of required length. Insulation is removed from both ends of the conductor cut.Lower Bar:Conductor size LengthNumber of conductors

8*4.6*1.5mm(Hollow) 8*2.8 mm (Solid)10200 mm Hollow- 20 Solid - 20

Upper BarConductor size LengthNumber of conductors

8*4.6*1.5mm(Hollow) 8*1.3 mm (Solid)10050 mm Hollow- 20 Solid - 40

2. TranspositionTransposition means changing/shifting of position of each conductor in active core (slot) part. After cutting the required number of conductors, the conductors are arranged on the comb in staggered manner and then bends are given to the conductors with the help of bending die at required distance. Then the conductors are taken out from the comb and die and placed with their ends in a line and transposition is carried out. This process is repeated for making another half of the bar which would be mirror image of the first half. The two halves of the bar are overlapped over each other and a spacer is placed between the two -halves.1. To reduce eddy current losses. 2. 2.Equalize the voltage generator3. To minimize skin effect of ac current, small cross section of conductor is used and also hollow conductors are used to effect cooling by D.M. water.

3. Crossover InsulationThe pre insulation of the copper conductor may get damaged due to mechanical bending in die during transposition, hence the insulating spacers are provided at the crossover portion of the conductors. A filler material (insulating putty or molding micanite) is provided along the height of the bar to maintain the rectangular shape and to cover the difference of level of conductors. To eliminate inter turn short at bends during edges wise bending and leveling of bars in slots portion for proper stack pressing.4. Stack ConsolidationThe core part of the bar stack is pressed in press (closed box) under pressure (varies from product to product) and temperature of 1600 C for a given period. The consolidated stack is withdrawn from the press and the dimensions are checked.5. Inter Strand Short Test The consolidated oar stack is tested for the short between any two conductors in the bar, if found then it has to be rectified. This is done to ensure that no local current is flowing due to short circuit between conductors. (300V A/C supply)6. FormingThe straight bar stack is formed as per overhang profile (as per design), the overhang portion is consolidated after forming.7. Brazing of coil lugsFor water cooled generator bars, the electrical connection contact and water box for inlet and outlet of water are brazed.8. Thermal shock test26 cycles of hot (800C) and cold (30C) water are flown through the bar to ensure the thermal expansion and contraction of the joints.9. Helium leakage testAfter thermal shock test bar is tested for any leakage with the help of helium gas.10. InsulationThe bar is insulated with the given number of layers to build the wall thickness of insulation subjected to the generating voltage of the machine.

11. Impregnation and bakinga) Thermoreactive system In case of rich resin insulation the bar is pressed in closed box in heated condition and baked under pressure and temperature as per requirement for a given period.b) Micalastic system In case of poor resin system the insulated bars are heated under vacuum and the impregnated (dipped) in heated resin so that all the air gaps are filled, layer by layer, with resin. Then extra resin is drained out and bars are heated and baked under pressed condition in closed box fixture.VPI Micalastic system: The bars already laid in closed fixture and full fixture is impregnated (dipped) in resin and then fixture with box is baked under given temperature for given duration.VIP Micalastic system: The individual (separate) bar is heated in vacuum and impregnated in resin. Then bar is taken out and pressed in closed box fixture and then baked at given temperature for given duration.12. FinishingThe baked and dimensionally correct bars are sanded-off to smooth the edges and the surface is calibrated, if required, for the dimension.13. Conducting varnish coatingi) OCP (Outer Corona Protection) coating: The black semi-conducting varnish coating is applied on the bar surface on the core length. ii) ECP (End Corona Protection) coating: The grey semi-conducting varnish is applied at the bend outside core end of bars in gradient to prevent from discharge and minimize the end corona.

RESIN SYSTEM:a) Rich Resin or Thermo-reactive insulation system: In this type of insulation system the bond content in resin 36-37%. The raw materials are ready to use and require preservation and working on temperature 20-25':C. Its shelf life is one year when kept at temperature 20 C which could be increased when kept at temperature of 5 C.b) Poor resin or Micalastic insulation system: In this type of insulation the bond content in the resin is 5-7% and insulating material is prepared with accelerator treatment. The temperature control need not required. The insulating material is applied on job and then the same is impregnated (fully dipped) in the resin.

TESTINGa) Tan test: This test is carried out to ensure the healthiness of dielectric (Insulation) i.e. dense or rare and measured the capacitance loss. The capacitance of the bar is found and the angle of deviation due to the impurity in the insulation is obtained from the formula C4*R4*10-4 =tanb) H.V. Test: (High Voltage Test) each bar is tested momentary at high voltage increased gradually to three times higher than rated voltage.

Dispatched for WindingThe bars preserved with polythene sleeves to protect from dust, dirt, oil, rain etc are send to Block-I (Electric Machines Production Block I, Turbo Generators and Hydro Generators) for winding.

CONCLUSION

This training has proved to be quite faithful. This gave me, a chance to have an encounter with such heavy machines like turbo generator (TG) 500MW.The architecture of B.H.E.L. ,the way the various units are linked and the way the working of the whole plant is controlled, makes the student realize that engineering is not just the structural description but more of planning and management. It has provided an opportunity to learn that optimization of technology used at proper place and time can save a lot of labour.The training has proved to be immensely helpful as it has helped me to have an exposure of the practical implementation of the theoretical knowledge that I have gained till date.
