New dev - Total Impregnated generator

A VOID FREE HIGH VOLTAGE INSULATION ALON G THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE BAR A MECHANICALY FIRM BOUND BETWEEN ALL WINDING COMPONENTS AND THE INNER FRAME AND CORE BETTER SUITABILITY AGAINST THERMAL STRESSES DURING OPERATION BETTER HEAT TRANSFER LESS INSULATION THICKNESS - SPACE OPTIMIZED MACHINE LIFE IMPROVES INCREASE IN GENERATOR EFFICIENCY INCREASE IN SHORT CIRCUIT RATIO

INCREASE IN LINE CHARGING CAPABILITY

REDUCTION IN SPARES INVENTORY - STATOR BARS AND STATOR NO MORE REQUIRED AS SPARES REDUCTION IN OVERHAULING REQUIREMENTS : STATOR WEDGE TIGHTNESS CHECKING NOT REQUIRED SLOT WEDGES ARE

LOOSENING OF CORE AND FASTNERS REDUCED

GLUE INJECTION NOT REQUIRED ROTOR WITHDRAWL DURING INITIAL INSPECTION NOT REQUIRED
