Anpara Unit # 1 210 MW reported sever Axial and High Vertical vibration in Brg # 6 and Brg # 5 also showed High Vertical Vibration High Vibrations were also noted in Stator End shield and water header. The axial vibration and vertical vibration suddenly increased to the tune of above 50 microns ad machine had o be debarred Spectrum showed sever 2x components and other higher frequency components

OBSERVATIONS
THERE IS SEVERE VIBRATION IN THE STATOR WATER INLET AND OUTLET LINE. DUMMY WOODEN SUPPORT AT BENDS WERE PROVIDED AND SOME REDUCTION IN VIBRATION WAS OBSERVED BUT STILL NOTICABLE VIBRATION IS OBSERVED WHICH REDUCES GOING AWAY FROM THE GENERATOR THE ENDSHIELD OF TURBINE SIDE SHOWS NOTICABLE VIBRATION THERE IS VIBRATION IN FOUNDATION AREA OF BRG # 6 . THERE HAS BEEN DAMAGE OF COPPER TUBE OF THE BUSHING OF Y PHASE IN APRIL 2013. THE TUBE WAS FOUND IN 2 PIECES (BROKEN) WE HAD INSISTED CUSTOMER FOR NFT BUT NFT HAD NOT BEEN DONE SEAL OIL FLOW WAS AROUND 30L/MIN AT TE AND 35L/MIN IN EE WHICH HAS NOW INCREASED TO 45L/MIN IN TURBINE SIDE AND 50L/MIN IN EXCITER END AFTER INCREASE IN VIBRATION IN BRG # 6
ACTION TAKEN
1. INTEGRITY OF SECONDARY FOUNDATION GROUTING WAS SUSPCTED AND CHECKED BY NCCBM. 2. INSPECTION OF FOUNDATION WAS ALSO DONE BY BHEL ENGINEERS 3. UPV REVEALED HONEYCOMBING IN COLUMNS 11 & 12 AND ALSO CRACKS WAS FOUND IN SECONDARY GROUTING OF BRG # 6 PEDESTAL 4. AS SUGGESTED BY NCCBM AND BHEL ENGINEERING ,THE HONEYCOMB IN THE FOUNDATION WAS REPAIRED BY PRESSURE EPOXY GROUTING AND SECONDARY GROUTNG WAS REDONE BY REMOVING BRG # 6 BASE PEDESTAL AND REGROUTING USING CONBETRAX GP2 . 5. DESTRETCHING & STRETCHING OF FOUNDATION BOLTS WAS ALSO DONE. 6. BRG. 4 WAS REPLACED 7. GENERATOR ROTOR WAS REPLACED TO REMOVE GENERATOR INDUCED VIBRATION COMPONENTS. RESULTS : MACHINE SUCESSFULLY SYNCHRONISED WITH VIBRATIONS OF SHAFT BELOW 60 MICRONS PK-PK AND PEDESTAL BELOW 30 PK-PK IN ALL BRGS
Primary
Heavy Sparking in exciter commutator of Unit # 4 Panki TPS was reported and soon the problem rose to alarming level and machine had to be debarred on June 21 2013. Vibrational analyses and electrical test were carried out by UPRVNL and based on that following were suggested. 1)Undercutting of mica on the commutator 2)Carrying out the drop test on the commutator segments and on pole pitchapart. This check will give you data about any dry soldering joints. 3)Checking the commutator for any non uniform wear out 4)Checking all the brush holders for their correct spring pressure and the usage of correct grade of carbon brush. 5)Check for the parallality of collecting mechanism arms. 6)Check for the magnetic neutral axis of the collecting mechanism for any shifting during running of the Machine. 7) Groove chamfering has to be carried out, using form tool Results : The sparking though reduced but still was totally resolved
Unchahar Unit # 3 NTPC during overhauling in April 2012 discussed with BHEL RSC Engineers regarding high axial vibration of LPT Rear Bearing Unit # 3. The axial vibrations were reportedly high to the tune of above 50 microns zero-pk and velocity above 20 mm/sec The spectrum was analysed which revealed unloading of Brg # 4

ACTION TAKEN
1. CATENARY CORRECTION AND DECK CORRECTION 2. PROPER BLUE MATCHING OF BRG WITH TORUS AS WELL AS TORUS WITH PEDESTAL 3. DESTRETCHING & STRETCHING OF FOUNDATION BOLTS WERE CARRIED BUT THE REAR BRG WAS STRETCHED TO 2.43 AND THE FRONT BOLTS WERE STRETCHED TO 2.30 DEVIATING FROM THR NORMAL APPROACH OF STRETCHING THE FRONT TO A HIGHER VALUE AS COMPARED TO THE REAR . 4. ALIGNMENT CORRECTION .
RESULTS The axial vibration were brought to below 25 microns and velocity to less than 8 mm/sec.
NEA had reported about the earth fault of stator Unit # 2, Devighat. BHEL RSC engineer reported at site on 3/01/12 for attending the earth fault. The fault after analyses was found to be severe in nature and had resulted in melting of overhang portion of two coils of B phase and burning down of insulation of the nearby three other coils. Constraints : Space constraint on removal of poles & Time on removal of rotor. Solution: Stator Removal Causing Both Time, Cost and Work easier Machine Relevelled aligned and Brought Back to Grid on 23/1/12 with better running parameters compared to other running Units
After replacement of the individual coils HV of the new coils were carried out at 14.2 KV for 1 minute. After finalization of the stator the HV of all coils/phases was carried out at 9Kv in two parts. The stator was then re-position and final IR & PI was recorded.
