Hydro Turbine Driven Generators
Custom designed to Customer Specification and

Turbine Manufacturer Requirements
Custom built for various turbine applications, durable WEG Electric
Machinery, WEM, generators can be designed to meet individual
arrangement requirements.
Quality Assurance and Testing
WEM is ISO-9001:2000 certified.
All generators are assembled and

tested in their own bearings at normal
operating speed and voltage.
Routine tests are performed as

required per NEMA MG-1 standard.
Bearing temperatures and vibrations

are monitored during testing.
Additional tests include efficiency,

temperature rise, operation at
runaway/ overspeed condition, etc.
All testing is performed in accordance

with IEEE procedures.

Generator stator winding in process Rotor assembly for 200 rpm vertical generator Shop assembly of rotor for horizontal generator
rated 18 MW 514 rpm
Stator
The frame is welded and machined to withstand stresses exerted by electrical
and mechanical forces in the core and provide low vibration levels. The stator
is composed of a supporting structure, a core of electrical laminations and
insulated windings.
The core is built up with high grade silicon steel laminations that are precision
punched from core plated sheets. The laminations are stacked in the support
structure and spaced for radial ventilation to ensure even cooling throughout the
core. The laminations are pressed and held between end plates.
The windings are Vacuum Pressure Impregnated (VPI) with a global process
using a two part epoxy resin. The VPI system provides excellent dielectric
properties, superior resistance to moisture and chemicals, and outstanding Shop assembly of rotor for horizontal generator
