large generator design, offering outstanding
mechanical performance.
oblique arms connect two concentric annular
parts, the rotor hub and the rotor rim, allowing
them to turn in relation to each other.
The application of oblique elements on the
rotor provides improved radial precision and
a uniform air gap under all load conditions.
The alstom stator key bar design, in combination with the spring effect of V-elements and
stator core pressing system, provides vital
protection against stator core buckling.
the MIcADuR vacuum pressure impregnation system (vPI) has been used by
Alstom for more than 40 years.
t he s y s t em has b e en cont inuousl y
researched and further developed and has
produced excellent results on all machines
even under severe conditions.

excITATIoN
A reliable excitation system is the key
to trouble-free generator operation. It
ensures fast and efficient reactive power
and voltage control, and the best possible
generator performance overall.
alstom automatic voltage regulators and
excitation systems have been produced for
more than 35 years with the installation of
2,850 systems controlling 315,000 mVa in
130 countries.
To guarantee optimal results, all alstom generators come with a high quality excitation
system as a standard.
for medium and high speed machines,
brushless excitation systems are provided.
synchronous machines are supplied with
rotating diodes. This supplies dc-current to
the rotor without any brushes or slip rings,
which are commonly subject to wear and tear.
Both solutions are equipped with the latest
automatic voltage regulation (p 320 aVr)
technology.
all alstom static excitation systems incorporate state-of-the-art technology and
the required redundancy provision.
