Fault Diagnose of Rotor Winding Inter Turn Short Circuit in Generator

Based on magnetic characteristics of inter turn circuit of rotor windings in turbo generator, and analysis the principles of detecting coil method. Based on the symmetry of generator structure and magnetic character between stator and rotor, three fault diagnose methods are presented in this paper: Wave form limitations, Half-wave sliding superposition and Reference wave forms. The application example shows that Reference wave forms method is capable of diagnosing inter turn fault, its severity, and especially locating the inter turn short circuit fault.
