Term
Function of Main Generator
Definition
Generate electrical power from the shaft power of the steam turbine and properly control it for useful output of desired voltages
Term
Power supply to main transformer coolers feeder B
Definition
MCC-121
Term
Power supply to main transformer coolers feeder A
Definition
MCC-131
Term
Voltage rating for main generator
Definition
22,000 Volts
Term
Total power rating for main generator (MVA)
Definition
664.4 MVA
Term
(Stator) Current rating for main generator
Definition
17,436 Amps
Term
Field Current rating for main generator
Definition
2665 Amps
Term
How is rotor temperature determined?
Definition
Temperature recorder on C-31 in control room that senses field voltage and field amps and automatically computes temperature from the field resistance.
Term
What is the job of the voltage regulator?
Definition
To sense the output voltage of the main generator and control the Exciter field current, which ultimately controls Main Generator output voltage.
Term
What cools the exciter?
Definition
Exciter is air cooled with a closed ventilating system, which includes an air-to-water heat exchanger located in the upper portion of the Exciter frame.
Term
Describe main transformer cooling
Definition
13 forced oil-air heat exchangers.
Term
Main transformer cooler power supplies
Definition
MCC-121 and MCC-131
Term
When do main transformer coolers automatically start?
Definition
When field breaker is closed.
Term
Purpose of isophase bus
Definition
Transmit 22 KV output from main generator bushings to main transformer.
Term
Current ratings for isophase bus (with and without cooling)
Definition
With cooling: 18,700 Amps (recall: generator is only rated 17,436 Amps); Without cooling: 10,500 Amps.
Term
Purpose of removable link in each bus bar beneath the Generator
Definition
Removal of links allows main transformer to be energized when generator is not in service.
Term
Purpose of 8N4 and 8N5
Definition

345 KV breakers used to connect the main generator to the sub-yard.

 

NOTE: either breaker is capable of carrying full output of the generator.

Term
Generator lockouts
Definition
  1. Generator neutral overvoltage (for ground on 22 KV circuit);
  2. Generator transformer sudden pressure (for fault in transformer);
  3. Generator differential relays (for fault in generator);
  4. Generator transformer and generator differential relays (for fault in generator, transformer or isophase bus);
  5. 345 KV breaker failure (8N4 and 8N5 fail to trip open... located in substation control house);
  6. Fault in main transformer or 345 KV lines between transformer and 8N4 and 8N5;
  7. Generator overcurrent;
  8. Over excitation, loss of excitation and V/Hz;
  9. Manual (C-08).
Term
Automatic actions upon generator lockout
Definition
  • If main transformer disconnects are closed, then four lockout relays in substation control house operate to trip and lock out 8N4 and 8N5;
  • Field breaker trips and locks out;
  • Turbine master trip solenoid operates;
  • Trips turbine lockout relay (286T) which operates master trip solenoid 1
Term
Turbine lockouts
Definition
  1. Moisture separator tank high level;
  2. Turbine thrust wear detection;
  3. Reactor high water level;
  4. Turbine exhaust hood high temperature;
  5. Low vacuum;
  6. Generator negative sequence;
  7. Generator loss of field; Generator lockout;
  8. Loss of stator cooling
Term
Automatic actions upon turbine lockout
Definition
  • Master trip solenoid trips;
  • Field breaker trips once 8N4 and 8N5 are sensed open
Term
Biggest concern when prime mover loses its power
Definition
Heating of the turbine blades due to generator motoring.
Term
When does anti-motoring trip?
Definition
If turbine stop valves go closed whenever main transformer disconnects are closed and 8N4 and/or 8N5 are closed.
Term
Automatic actions upon Anti-motoring relay trip
Definition
8N4 and 8N5 open
Term
Function of Voltage Regulator protective functions
Definition
Prevent damage to main generator and main transformer
Term
Voltage regulator protective features
Definition
  • Loss of Excitation;
  • Generator Field Current Online/Offline Over Excitation;
  • Under Excitation Limiter;
  • Manual Restrictive Limiter;
  • Over Voltage; Volts/Hz;
  • Power system stabilizer.
Term
Generator underfrequency setpoint
Definition
58.5 Hz (two-out-of-three logic)
Term
Reason for underfrequency protection
Definition
Limitations imposed by turbine buckets (natural resonance).
Term
Stator temperature limits on startup
Definition
"If stator temperature is below 20 degrees C, prewarm to this temperature at a rate not to exceed 10 degrees C per hour before going beyond 1500 rpm. This can be done by closing the field breaker with the voltage regulator in auto until both rotor and stator temperatures are above 20 degrees C."
Term
Purpose of Volts/Hz limiter
Definition
Prevents operation in areas of capability curve which could damage generator.
Term
Generator upper and lower voltage limits
Definition
Max: 23.1 KV; Min: 20.9 KV (plus or minus 5%)
Term
Isophase bus lead max current (with and without cooling)
Definition
  • With cooling: 18,700 Amps (recall: generator is only rated 17,436 Amps);
  • Without cooling: 10,500 Amps.
Term
