Abstract

Rotor interturn short circuit (RISC) is a common electrical fault in synchronous generators. By far, scholars have carried out a lot of researches on static rotor interturn short circuit (SRISC), while dynamic rotor interturn short circuit (DRISC) is rarely taken into account. This paper analyzes the stator current characteristics before and after DRISC fault in synchronous generators. First, the expressions of the air-gap flux density respectively in normal, SRISC, and DRISC cases, are derived. Then the two-dimensional finite element model is established to analyze the stator current under the aforementioned three conditions. Finally, experiments are carried out on the CS-5 prototype generator to test the stator currents. The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical analysis and the finite element calculation data. It is shown that the occurrence of the dynamic rotor interturn short circuit will reduce the root mean square value as well as the odd harmonics of the magnetic flux density and the stator current, while at the meantime it will increase the new generated even harmonics. Compared with the static short circuit, the current curve of the stator phase shows an obvious "peak". With the aggravation of the short circuit degree between dynamic turns, the effective value of current and the odd harmonics will be decreased. The stator current in the dynamic rotor interturn short circuit cases is generally between those of normal condition and static rotor interturn short circuit case.
