I. Product overview

Turn-to-turn short circuit of generator rotor windings is a common fault in power systems. When such a fault occurs, the rotor current increases and the winding temperature increases, limiting the output of the generator, and in severe cases, it will affect the normal operation of the generator. Turn-to-turn shorts are usually identified by measuring the AC impedance and power losses of the generator rotor windings. The traditional measurement method is to use multiple test instruments and measure them after they are assembled in the field. This method, which requires a lot of test instruments to set up a measurement system, has the disadvantages of cumbersome test equipment, time-consuming and laborious, complicated data sorting, and low measurement accuracy.

With the continuous development of digital signal processing technology, new microprocessors and algorithms are constantly emerging. Based on this, we have developed a generator rotor AC impedance tester based on digital signal processor DSP. The instrument takes the digital signal processing system as the hardware platform, which gives full play to the computing power of the digital signal processor, which greatly improves the calculation speed and calculation accuracy of the instrument, and provides a guarantee for the normal operation of the power system.
