Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a device for measuring the large shaft current and large shaft voltage of a water turbine unit. Background Art

[0002] During operation, a hydro-turbine generator set experiences magnetic flux imbalance due to factors such as unequal air gaps (reluctance) between the stator and rotor, asymmetric stator core segmentation and pole configuration, and static excitation. This unbalanced magnetic flux interacts with the shaft, generating shaft voltage, which varies with the generator's voltage and load. The rotor shaft forms a loop through the carbon brushes and the water surface. This shaft voltage and the resulting shaft current accelerate the aging and deterioration of the bearing lubricant, leading to severe bearing burnout and, in severe cases, increased bearing runout.

[0003] The existing method of measuring shaft current is generally to install metal copper foil in the insulation layer of the shaft collar and the main shaft during the design of the hydro-turbine generator, dividing the shaft collar insulation into two sections, and then lead the copper foil to the metal ring on the main shaft surface with a wire. This structure and three carbon brushes are used to measure the insulation resistance between the main shaft and the copper foil, and between the copper foil and the shaft collar. The disadvantages are: (1) For hydro-turbine units without metal copper foil in the insulation layer of the shaft collar and the main shaft, the shaft CT monitoring method is used, and the failure of the main shaft insulation monitoring CT itself cannot be ruled out. (2) The actual shaft voltage and shaft current of the main shaft cannot be directly monitored. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a device for measuring the main shaft current and main shaft voltage of a hydro-turbine unit, which is used to solve the problems of the existing shaft CT monitoring method, which cannot eliminate the failure of the main shaft insulation monitoring CT itself and cannot directly monitor the actual shaft voltage and shaft current of the main shaft.

[0005] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution of the utility model is:

The first carbon brush is connected to one end of the voltage measuring winding of the fault recording device through a first cable, and the other end of the voltage measuring winding is grounded.

[0007] A current measuring winding is provided on the fault recording device, a current transformer is provided on the main shaft, and the current transformer is connected to the current measuring winding of the fault recording device through a second cable.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: utilizing the output of the main shaft CT, as well as the output of the shaft voltage carbon brush and the shaft current carbon brush, the fault recording device realizes full-process monitoring of various operating conditions of the main shaft voltage and current; optimizing the structure of the main shaft grounding carbon brush to realize effective monitoring of the main shaft grounding current, and any abnormalities can be discovered in time and compared with the fault recording data, which is also convenient for subsequent waveform analysis, thereby ensuring the reliability of the operation of the main shaft insulation monitoring device and guaranteeing the safety of the unit operation.
