What is the purpose of the Unit 1 Main Generator?
Converts the mechanical energy of the Main Turbine into electrical energy.
What is the purpose of the Main Generator Excitation System?
Generate, transfer and regulate the necessary power for the Main Generator field.
What PPE/Tools are required to operate the Disconnect for the Unit 1 Neutral Grounding Transformer?
- Full Flash
- Hot Stick
What is the Power Flowpath for the Unit 1 Main Generator & Excitation System?
- 600 VAC
- Step-Down Transformer
- Voltage Regulator
- Exciter Slip Rings
- Exciter Rotor
- Exciter Stator
- Field Rectifiers
- Generator Brushes
- Generator Rotor
- Generator Stator
- Output Bushings
What is the function of the Main Generator Stator?
Induces the output voltage from the Main Generator.
What is the function of the Rotor of the Main Generator?
- Supplies the magnetic field and relative motion necessary to induce a voltage in the stator.
- Fans mounted on each end of the rotor maintain hydrogen flow through the generator for cooling.
- Ventilation passages are provided in each of the four poles to provide a flowpath for the hydrogen gas that cools the generator.
What is the function of the Collector & Brushes/Slip Ring Assembly of the Main Generator?
Allows transmission of the current to the rotor windings.
What is the function of the Output Bushing of the Main Generator?
Connects the output of the Main Generator to the Bus Links.
What cools the Main Generator Exciter?
Air that is cooled by TACW.
How would the Main Generator System respond to a loss of a single Voltage Regulator?
Because the standby Voltage Regulator is maintained at the same voltage as the In-Service Voltage Regulator, there would be a bumpless automatic transfer to the standby Voltage Regulator.
What components of the Main Generator System are cooled by TACW?
- Exciter Coolers
- Bus Duct Coolers
- Hydrogen Coolers
- Stator Cooling Water Coolers
What is the function of the Main Generator Voltage Regulators?
- Controls the strength of the Magnetic Field of the Main Generator by monitoring the output voltage of the Main Generator.
- Converts the AC current from the Step Down Transformer to a DC current that goes the Main Exciter.
What is the function of the Main Generator Field Rectifier Assembly?
Rectifies the AC current from the Main Exciter to a DC current going the the Collector & Brushes of the Main Generator.
What provides cooling to the Main Generator Field Rectifier Assembly?
Stator Cooling Water.
How many Field Rectifier Assemblies are required to operate at full power?
5 of 6.
Describe the removal of a Field Rectifier Assembly.
FULL FLASH protection must be worn while operating the disconnect switch:
- Cabinet and interlock keys obtained from the Shift Mgr
- Unlock and open the cabinet door and then unlock the disconnect switch.
- Pull the switch down to remove the bank from service.
- Interlock key can not be removed with the switch in the open position.
Describe the restoration of a Field Rectifier Assembly.
- Verify the rectifier cooling water supply and return valves are open.
- Close the disconnect switch.
- Lock the interlock for the disconnect switch.
- Close and lock the cubical door.
- Return keys to the Shift Managers office.
What is the function of the Generator Condition Monitor?
Detect the occurrence of any local overheating within the Main Generator.
How does the Generator Condition Monitor work?
- Hydrogen flows past a weak source of alpha radiation that produces ion pairs in the hydrogen gas.
- The ions are attracted to produce a current on a chart on the front of the monitor.
- Local overheating results in formation of particles that become attracted to the negative ions, reducing their mobility resulting in a lower detector current.
- When the current falls below a certain value (50%), the alarm contacts on the recorder close and an alarm is received in the Control Room.
Why does the Main Generator have to be at 1800 rpm prior to placing the Generator Condition Monitor in service?
To provide the motive force to push the Hydrogen through the GCM.
How does the Hydrogen Purity Monitor work?
Compares a known value of thermal conductivity to an obtained value.
What actions do we take when Hydrogen Purity is below 96%?
We perform a bleed and feed of Hydrogen to/from the Main Generator.
What is the purpose of the Liquid Leak Detection System?
- Detect oil and/or water leakage into the Main Generator.
- Detect water leakage into the Main Exciter.
What is the purpose of the Unit 1 Stator Cooling Water System?
Removes heat from the Main Generator Stator Armature Conductors and Main Exciter rectifiers.
