Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of generator shaft voltage and shaft current monitoring, and in particular to an online monitoring device for generator shaft voltage and shaft current. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of the nuclear power unit's steam turbine generator, an induced voltage, called shaft voltage, is generated on the rotor shaft due to reasons such as magnetic circuit asymmetry, static electricity generated by friction between steam and blades, and pulsating voltage and residual magnetism generated by the static excitation system.
[0003] When the nuclear power unit is operating normally, the shaft voltage does not exceed the damage value of the bearing oil film, and the shaft current is very small. If the shaft voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the bearing oil film, a large shaft current will be formed on the bearing. The shaft current discharges between the rotor and the bearing, which will cause damage to the bearings, bushings, gears and other bearing components. In severe cases, it will also cause shutdown accidents and cause significant losses to the motor. Due to the harm of shaft voltage and shaft current to the generator, it is necessary to implement online monitoring of the motor shaft current and shaft voltage of the generator.
