Magnetic stator wedges: The Challenges and solutions
2023年7月26日 · Mike Davis from Electrical Machine Knowledge Exchange, discusses the function of stator wedging, the historical development of magnetic wedge material, their advantages and key maintenance considerations. In large electrical machines, the stator slots are opened to the width of the slot to allow the fitting of coils.
A new method for stator slot wedge testing of large generators
2008年8月8日 · The results showed that loose stator slot wedges of large generators could be detected either by their vibration frequency or by their displacement amplitude. This verified the correctness of the slot wedge loosening process and the validity of the detection system.
