The invention discloses a high-power medium-speed generator. The generator comprises a motor body, and the motor body comprises a rotating shaft, a front bearing, a front end cover, a fan, a base, a stator winding, a stator core, a rotor core with a winding, a box body combination group, an exciter stator, an exciter rotor, a rear end cover and a rear bearing; and the base is of a square structure formed by welding an upper cover plate, ribs, side cover plates, a front end plate, an air deflector, a supporting plate, a rear end plate, a lower cover plate, an inclined cover plate and a bottom foot plate, the front end cover is formed by connecting a front end cover blank, a front bearing sleeve and an insulating pad through bolts and then machining, and the front end cover has an insulating function and can effectively prevent shaft current. The power of the generator body is 1300-1800 kW, the number of poles is eight, the rotating speed is 750 r / min, the power of the generator is large, the rotating speed is low, the load capacity is high, the size is small, the weight is light, and the power-to-weight ratio is high.
