Cause of excessive vibration signals with twice the rotational speed of a 2-pole generator rotor in balancing for fossil power plants was investigated. The 2-pole generator rotor is treated as a typically asymmetric rotor in vibration analysis, and produces asynchronous vibration with twice the rotational speed for its own inertia and stiffness asymmetry. This paper introduces practical balancing procedure and experimental vibration data of the asymmetric 2-pole rotor in balancing, and presents the results of investigation into sources of the excessive vibration signals.
