Determination of shaft position from shaft voltage on a synchronous generator

Abstract: Shaft voltages and currents are an unavoidable characteristic of rotating machines. Recently there has been renewed interest in the diagnostic possibilities of these signals. This paper presents a technique to determine the mechanical shaft position using a capture of the shaft voltage and a mechanically aligned prerecorded reference. The tests were carried out on a 400 V salient 4-pole generator with rotating exciter. Gold-bristle brushes were used which provided excellent signal clarity. A PC based acquisiti… Show more

“…The shaft voltage is induced in the shaft of the synchronous generator due to the asymmetry load distribution, the rotor eccentricity, the rotor/ stator interturn short circuit etc. The shaft voltage reduces the mechanical strength of the shaft and damages the bearings [1][2][3]. Therefore, it is significant to comprehensively study the inherent characteristics of the shaft voltage under the typical running conditions in order to fully monitor and control the shaft voltage.…”

“…In order to limit these negative effects, shaft grounding brushes are usually employed to attenuate the circulating currents [3]. Although shaft signals are practically unavoidable and are caused by a number of reasons including magnetic asymmetries due to manufacturing imperfections, it has been found to be quite valuable in the area of condition monitoring [2,4].…”
