Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high-voltage motor insulation, and in particular relates to a method for improving corona at the end of a stator winding of a large generator. Background Art
[0002] As we all know, the corona problem at the end of the stator winding of a large generator is one of the more common and difficult technical problems in the industry, especially in generators that use air as the cooling medium or in generators that use impregnated glass strands to tie and fix the stator winding ends. Because after the impregnated glass strands and other binding materials used in such generators are cured, the sharp corners and burrs formed on the insulation surface and other raised parts have a more concentrated electric field strength when the unit is running, making the electric field distribution at the end of the stator winding uneven, so corona discharge is prone to occur. And as large-scale generator sets develop towards higher voltage levels and larger rated capacities, the risk of corona discharge at the end of the stator winding is gradually increasing. Corona discharge will cause electrical corrosion on the insulation surface of the generator stator winding, which will reduce the life of the generator insulation system. The winding corona problem will bring great hidden dangers to the safe and stable operation of the generator. In recent years, the industry has paid more and more attention to the improvement methods of the corona problem at the end of the generator stator winding.
[0003] The traditional method to solve the corona problem at the end of the generator stator winding is to "manually polish the insulating surface where the corona discharge occurs, wipe it with solvents such as alcohol, and then apply insulating covering paint on the surface of the corona discharge area." However, this solution has a general effect on improving corona, is inefficient, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In addition, due to the limitation of operating space, the traditional manual corona treatment method does not thoroughly clean the areas between the upper and lower layers of the wire rods at the end of the generator stator winding and within the insulating folds, which can easily cause residual corona discharge and incomplete corona treatment.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to invent a method for improving the corona at the end of a large generator stator winding, which has obvious corona improvement effect, is scientific and reasonable, has strong versatility, is easy to operate, and has high efficiency. Summary of the invention
[0005] The present invention aims to solve the corona problem on the insulating surface of the stator winding end of a large generator, and provides a method for improving the corona on the stator winding end of a large generator based on a dry ice cleaning process. The method has the advantages of obvious corona improvement effect, scientific rationality, strong versatility, convenient operation, wide coverage, and high efficiency.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is specifically described as follows:

Use a scraper, a scraper hammer and other tools to trim the surface filled with the high-performance putty-like nano-modified epoxy resin glue into a smooth R angle, and cure it;
[0009] S3. Use polyester felt impregnated with room temperature curing epoxy resin glue to partially fill the air gaps generated on the insulation surface of the stator winding end during the assembly process. The compression amount of the polyester felt is 50%. The air gaps are caused by the inconsistency between the glass fiber bundle binding rope and the stator wire rod and the bevel pad. Use high-performance putty-like nano-modified epoxy resin glue to smoothly and evenly apply it on the surface of the polyester felt filling part. Be careful not to have raised residual glue, and cure it.
[0010] S4. Spray the entire insulation surface of the stator winding end of the generator with one or two coats of nonlinear semiconductor high-resistance anti-corona paint, and cure it.
[0011] In the above-mentioned method for improving corona at the end of the stator winding of a large generator, in S1, the air supply pressure of the dry ice cleaning equipment is 0.6-0.7 MPa, the particle size of the dry ice particles is 3 mm, the diameter of the non-standard L-shaped metal nozzle is 10 mm, the dry ice blasting pressure is 0.6-0.7 MPa; the dry ice blasting amount is 1-2 kg / min; the dry ice blasting distance is 50-300 mm, and the dry ice blasting angle is 45-60°.
[0012] In the above-mentioned method for improving the corona of the stator winding end of a large generator, in S2 and S3, the high-performance putty-like nano-modified epoxy resin glue is composed of a mixture of epoxy resin containing nano-fillers and a curing agent, and the insulation heat resistance grade is F grade.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0017] 1. The present invention changes the traditional method of dealing with the corona problem at the end of the stator winding of a large generator. The present invention is based on the dry ice cleaning process, and its principle is: using compressed air to blow low-temperature dry ice particles to the surface of the object to be cleaned, so that the adhesion of dirty impurities becomes poor, and then under the impact of the high-speed moving dry ice particles, the sharp corners and burrs on the insulating surface, dirty impurities are separated from the surface of the object to be cleaned, and are removed with the high-speed airflow. The present invention cleans the sharp corners and burrs and dirty impurities on the insulating surface more thoroughly, and the corona residue is greatly reduced. It can eliminate the corona discharge problem at the end of the stator winding caused by the local electric field concentration at the sharp corners and burrs and dirty impurities, so that the insulating surface of the stator winding end is smooth and flat without protrusions, and then optimizes the electric field distribution on the insulating surface of the stator winding end, which has a more significant effect on corona improvement;
