As a common electrical fault of the large turbo-generator
the inter-turn short circuit in field windings leads to bad influence such as field current increase
output reactive power decrease
vibration aggravation
etc. Since most turbo-generators have no installation condition for a branch current transformer
application of the fault monitoring principle based on the stator unbalanced current RMS is limited. However
vibration caused by faults provides a new line of thought for monitoring. Therefore
proceeding from an analysis of the steady-state current characteristics of stator and rotor during inter-turn short circuit in field windings
comprehensive considerations is given to the interaction between various space magnetic fields and the thermal deformation of the rotor
while investigating the after-fault vibration characteristics of the stator and rotor of the generator. The correctness of the theoretical analysis is verified through research of fault cases
and the key factors influencing the amplitude of the vibration are analyzed.
