The test were performed to analyze the cause of endwinding breakdown of hydro-generator which had been in service after being constructed 1971. we conducted insulation diagnostic tests and checked visual inspection and operating condition of protective relays. On the basis of these test results, this paper tried to present the importance of service environment for the generator stator winding.

We studied the temperature distribution and heat transfer characteristics of TEFC induction motor with thermal network program for more efficient design and better cooling performance of it. We knew the characteristics and the windage loss of outer cooling fan from fan test experiments. Frame axial and peripheral heat transfer coefficients and endwinding heat transfer coefficient were measured by various model experiments and then, compared with other experimental results. Frame was the main heat transfer surface, load-side and fan-side surface were not thermally symmetric from the heat flux distribution analysis. Steady and unsteady temperature distributions were measured by real motor experiments. From the results, we knew that rotor surface temperature was higher than coil temperature and the hottest spot in the coil was loadside endwinding outside surface. We compared the simulation results with those of real motor test and the two results showed a good agreement.

Nondestructive and destructive tests were performed the stator windings of three high voltage motors prior to the rewind. Nondestructive tests included ac current increase rate($\Delta$I), dissipation factor(${\Delta}tan{\delta}$), and maximum partial discharge(Qm) The destructive tests included breakdown at three phases with ac voltage. Flashover occurred between the connected winding of endwinding and the stator flame. In two cases creeping discharge occurred between the individual phase windings and the wedges In the stator ends. The results of destructive tests could rarely be determined the breakdown voltage.

In 6.6kV Rotary Machine Stator Windings, Corona Discharge, Discharge at Conductor Surface, Slot Discharge and Endwinding Discharge is happended by electronic degradation. Also, if Partial Discharge cause in inner-part of Rotary Machine Stator Windings, it will be happended voltage and current pulse. In case of discharge spark, RF electromagnetic wave, which transmits at discharge position, can happen. To detect this kind of RF electromagnetic wave efficiently, we have designed Planar Antenna Sensor with the CST MWS simulation program. Also we have confined the application possibility, which can analyzes the partial discharge in Rotary Machine Stator Windings. In the Future, sample of planar antenna sensor will be able to compare with the data of simulation by CST MWS program.

During normal machine operation, partial discharge(PD) tests were performed with partial discharge analyzer(PDA) in two hydrogenerators. Six cable couplers were installed in circuit ring bus and endwinding of three phases. PDA showed that the normalized quantity number(NQN) and the partial discharge magnitude$(Q_m)$ were very low in hydrogenerator #1 and #2, respectively. The trend analyses of NQN and $Q_m$ value are available for monitoring of the insulation condition in hydrogenerator stator windings. The insulation condition of stator winding can be assessed. Discharge at conductor surface was discovered in B phase(C2 coupler) of hydrogenerator #1. Internal discharges were generated in A and C phases(C2 coupler) of hydrogenerator #1 and in A, Band C phases(C1 and C2 couplers) of hydrogenerator #2. Slot discharges occurred in A, Band C phases(C1 coupler) of hydrogenerator #1. The stator windings of two hydrogenerators were in good condition.

In pumped storage Generator-motor stator windings gradually deteriorates due to mechanist, thermal, electrical stresses. These stresses combine to result in loose windings, delamination of the stator insulation and/or electrical tracking of the endwinding, all of which can lead to stator insulation failures. Since the degration of generator-motor is gradually occurred, regular inspection system is necessary to monitor degrading. The result of this diagnosis is a basic for the maintxnance of generator-motor.

High voltage motor(rated 6.6kV and 448kw) has failed in the stator endwinding area during normal service. Experiments on microstructure property were conducted using the control and aged insulations, which were drawn out from stator windings of the high voltage motor. The analyses were characterized using stereozoom microscope(SM), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS). SM result shows that large voids are present in the interface between turn insulation and groundwall insulation. SEM results indicated that the groundwall insulation is rarely thermal stress. EDS results showed that chemical elements in the high voltage motor stator insulations were Al, Si, O, K and Fe.

In hydro-generator, a groundwall insulation of stator windings gradually deteriorates due to mechanical, thermal, electrical and environmental stresses. These stresses combine to result in loose windings, delamination of the stator insulation and/or electrical tracking of the endwinding, all of which can lead to stator insulation failures. Conventionally, off-line tests such as partial discharge measurement, DC/AC current and .DELTA.tan.delta. tests has been used for estimation of winding condition. However, off-line test requires large power supply and generator outage. In addition, major cause of insulation problems such as loose wedges and slot dischages may not be found with off-line diagnoses. This paper introduces the on-line partial discharge measurement techniques using frequency spectrum analyzer(FSA) for the generator stator windings. The experimental results from the UIAM #1 hydro-generator confirms a optimistic application of on-line generator diagnosis method as a reliable tool for evaluation of winding condition.

The end winding is an important part in induction motor for thermal analysis. But there is little information on the heat transfer coefficient of that surfaces because of geometrical complexity. So our experimental object is to know the heat transfer coefficient of end winding and find the optimum design parameter of rotor fan. Carbon coated papers were used for a uniform heat generating surfaces which were easy to fabricate. The experiments of some parameters were performed as varying rotation speed of rotor fan. We obtained the local and average Nusselt number of the end winding surfaces by correcting radiation and conduction losses errors. The results showed that the average Nusselt number increased with rotor fan blade number and width but decreased with end winding length. However, the increasing limits existed in the case of rotor fan width and blade number. So optimum design value were obtained for rotor fan width and blade numbers.
