Stator Winding:
The stator bars, phase connectors and bushings are water-cooled. Bars are
composed of separately insulated strands, which are transposed by 540° in the slot
portion and bonded together with epoxy resins. Bars consist of hollow as well as solid
strands, distributed over the cross- section for obtaining good heat dissipation. At the
bar ends, solid strands are jointly brazed into a connecting sleeve. Hollow strands are
strands are brazed into water boxes from where cooling water enters and exits. Teflon
hoses connect the water boxes to Inlet and outlet manifolds. Bars are inserted in the
slots with side ripple springs, slot bottom equalizing strip, and top ripple spring beneath
the wedge. Gaps between end windings are completely filled with insulating material and
cured after installation. For radial support, the end windings are clamped to to rigid
support ring of insulating material which, in turn, is fully supported by frame. The bars
are clamped with support ring with pressure plates, the plates are held together by
clamping bolts, made from high strength insulating material. The support ring is free to
move axially within the frame caused by thermal expansion of stator bars.
The stator winding connections are brought out on 6 Bushings in a welded, non-
magnetic compartment below the generator.
To the small quantity of primary water tapped from main circuit (1 to 1.3 Kg/s) is
injected with NaOH solution by the diaphragm pump. This water is passed to ion
exchange unit, which consist of anion and cation resins. It removes all copper, iron,
chlorine and carbon dioxide ions from water. But it also removes Na+ ions and hence, to
maintain concentration of Na + ions, NaOH solution is injected. This maintains pH, but
conductivity of water increases. Diaphragm pump stops when conductivity of water in
main circuit reaches 2.5 µS/ cm or in treatment circuit it reaches 3.0µS/ cm.
