2.0 DEFINITIONS
2.1 Technical
The technical terms used in this specification are defined as follows:
Statutory Tests
Statutory tests are those intended to establish compliance with selected, widely applicable requirements of
the manufacturing standard.
Critical Speed
A speed at which the amplitude of the vibration of a rotor due to shaft transverse vibration reaches a
maximum value.
Cross-current Compensation
One of two systems which permits generators in parallel, to share the reactive component of the power in
proportion to their rating while maintaining constant output voltage. See also Droop Compensation.
Droop Compensation
A system which permits generators in parallel to share the reactive component of the power in proportion to
their rating. See also Cross-current Compensation.
Dead Band
Dead band is the total magnitude of the change in steady state speed within which there is no resulting
measurable change in the position of the governor controlled valve(s). It is a measure of the speed
governing system insensitivity and is expressed in percent of rated speed.
Flexible Shaft
A shaft which is intended for operation at speeds greater than the first lateral critical speed.
Isochronous Load Sharing

Rev 0 1999
Isochronous load sharing which allows two or more synchronous turbine generator sets operating in
parallel to maintain constant system frequency from zero system load to maximum system load without the
need
for any adjustments by operating personnel. This allows each turbine generator set to operate at the same
percentage of its full load rating. Therefore, if the load on the system is 60 percent of the maximum system
capacity, each turbine generator set in the system will be operating at 60 percent load.
In order for isochronous load sharing to be used, each turbine generator set in the system must have a
governor with the isochronous load sharing feature.
Low Voltage
A class of nominal system voltages less than 1000 V.
Medium Voltage
A class of nominal system voltages equal to or greater than 1000 V and less than 100,000 V.
Nominal System Voltage
The rms "phase to phase" or "phase to neutral" voltage by which the system is designated and at (or near)
which level, the system normally operates.
Output Power
The useful electrical power measured at the output terminals after all losses are deducted; unless otherwise
stated, this is assumed to be at a lagging power factor of 0.8.
PMG
Permanent Magnet Generator; A generator in which the field excitation is supplied by permanent magnets.
Rated Output Power
The value of the output power included in the rating.
Rated Power
The rating in kilowatts, which can be carried continuously without exceeding the rated temperature rise at
rated voltage and frequency.
Speed Regulation, Steady State
Speed regulation, expressed as a percentage of rated speed, is the change in sustained speed when the
power output of the driving unit is gradually changed from rated power output to zero power output under
specified steady state conditions.
Stiff Shaft
A shaft which will not be operated during normal circumstances at speeds greater than the first lateral
critical speed.
Telephone Influence Factor (TIF)

Rev 0 1999
The telephone influence factor of a synchronous generator is a measure of the possible effect of harmonics
in the generator voltage wave on telephone circuits.
Utilisation Voltage
The rms "phase to phase" voltage at the line terminals of utilisation equipment.
2.2 Contractual
The commercial terms used in this specification are defined as follows:
Owner
The oil and gas company, an associate or subsidiary, who is the end user of the equipment.
Vendor
The company supplying the equipment.
Contractor
The main contractor for a defined piece of work.
Sub-Contractor
A company awarded a contract by a Contractor to do part of the work awarded to the Contractor.
Inspection Authority
The organisation representing the Owner or Vendor/Contractor that verifies that the equipment has been
designed, constructed, inspected and tested in accordance with the requirements of this specification and
the Purchase Order/Contract.
Inspector
A qualified individual representing the Owner, Vendor/Contractor or the assigned Inspection Authority,

- The alternator running uncoupled at no load, at normal voltage and frequency, and at
various speeds of its speed range.
- The shaft axis in normal position.
- A half key in the shaft keyway, (or half coupling fitted, if available).
- For alternators having provisions for vibration monitoring systems, vibration shall also be
measured on the shaft adjacent to each bearing housing or through the bearing or
coupling housing. Vibration as measured shall not exceed the limits given in Table 1
above:
- Measurement shall preferably be made with a non-contacting eddy current proximity

probe in accordance with API 670. Measurement with a shaft contacting probe may be
proposed for Owner's approval.
- If Vendor/Contractor can demonstrate that `electrical run-out' due to shaft material

anomalies is present in measurements made with proximity probes, this may be added to
the allowable vibration level up to a maximum of 0.25 mils (0.006 mm), provided a hand-
held shaft contacting probe gives results not exceeding the allowable limits.
Reference shall be made to MG 1, Part 22, Clause 22.54 and Part 20, Clause 20.54.
3.7 Alternator Rating, Waveform and Voltage Regulation
3.7.1 Alternator Rating
(a) Standard ratings shall be in accordance with Table 20.10, Part 20 of NEMA MG 1, or if steam
turbine driven, to Table 2.1 of NEMA Standard SM24.
At rated speed, the alternator shall have sufficient capacity to continuously match the full rated
output of the prime mover under both summer and winter extremes of ambient conditions
specified, without exceeding the Insulation Class F total temperature limit (limited to Class B
temperature rise).
(b) A Service Factor of 1.0 shall be assumed for the alternator rating and characteristics which shall
Rev 0 1999
comply with the requirement of the latest editions of NEMA MG1, Part 22 (BS 2757, 4999 and
5000) except where modified by this specification. The complete alternator output characteristic
curves shall be provided with the Tender.
(c) The alternator rated voltage shall be nominal (as on the Data Sheets) ± 6%. Maximum ground
fault current shall be limited to 25% of the machine's nominal full load current by a high
impedance neutral grounding transformer or resistor as agreed with the Owner. The
Vendor/Contractor shall quote the net alternator output after subtracting all power absorbed by the
generator, exciter and main shaft driven auxiliaries as well as auxiliaries fed directly from the
machine or exciter. Sustained rated outputs shall also be possible within the stated voltage
variations at rated power factor, in accordance with the requirements of NEMA MG1 (BS 5000
Part 99).
(d) The prospective three-phase fault current infeed from the system to the alternator shall be taken as
equivalent to 25 kA rms symmetrical.
(e) Continuous operation over a frequency range of nominal, -6% + 2.5% shall be possible at rated
stator current. Below -6% nominal frequency the output voltage may be reduced pro rata with
frequency.
(f) The alternator shall have a short circuit ratio of 0.45 unless stated otherwise on the Data Sheets.
The ratio shall be based on the per unit no-load excitation current at rated alternator voltage and
the per unit short-circuit excitation current at rated alternator current.
(g) The tolerance on the stated values of transient and sub-transient reactances shall be ± 0.15 per unit
of the stated value.
(h) The Vendor/Contractor shall provide with the tender a statistical survey of his test results for
machines of the same or similar frame and output showing the distribution of the deviation from
the predicted value. Great importance is attached to the reactance values. The switchgear making
duty often also imposes a constraint on the minimum confirmation and agreement. The dynamic
stability of the system with the potentially low stored energy constants often also imposes
limitations on the maximum transient reactance.
(i) The maximum prospective 3 phase rating fault making current of the MV switchgear shall be at
least equivalent to 25 kA rms symmetrical, and shall be assumed to be of this value for
consideration of winding/termination stressing unless stated otherwise on the Data Sheets.
(j) The constraints imposed by switchgear fault and fault clearing times incur potential dynamic
stability problems which focus attention on the overall machine inertia constants. Subject to
confirmation and agreement, the inertia constant for both turbine and generator shall be advised in
MJ/MVA.
(k) The design shall take into account the non-natural reactance which may be required (should the
frame size be increased) to maintain the fault current contribution to the switchgear making duty
within the permissible value.
(l) The machine shall be capable of a momentary overload of 150% normal current for 1 minute with
the field set for normal load excitation.
(m) Excitation shall be of the brushless type with a Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG) Voltage
Control Unit, Exciter and rotating diodes as shown in the diagram in Section 10.0.
The PMG shall have a high excitation field forcing capability to provide good motor starting
characteristics and, for fault clearance, a sustained short circuit capability of three times the
normal full load current for 10 seconds.
Rev 0 1999
(n) The characteristics of the complete alternator including the excitation system shall maintain a
steady state voltage of ± 2.5%, between no load and rated load.
(o) The alternator shall be capable of withstanding Negative Phase Sequence Current (I2) up to 10%
of rated stator current (See NEMA MG1 Part 22, Clause 22.46).
3.7.2 Waveform
The output waveform of the alternator shall be sinusoidal; the allowable degree of distortion shall be
limited to a TIF as detailed in Clause 16.43 of NEMA MG1 Part 16, or if steam turbine driven, to the
values given in Clause 2.13.3 of NEMA Standard SM24.
3.7.3 Voltage Regulation
(a) Steady State Conditions
The voltage regulation as measured at the alternator terminals shall either be as stated in Section
16.4.8.2.4, Part 16 of NEMA MG1 or shall be a minimum of Grade 3.11 (VR3) to BS 4999 Part
140 which requires restoration to ± 1% of voltage in not more than 10 seconds after a transient
disturbance, whichever is the more onerous.
(b) Transient Conditions
The transient performance shall be better than that stated in Part 16, Clause 16.48.2.3 & 4 of
NEMA MG1 (VR 2.13 of Table 1 'Voltage Regulation Grades' of BS4999 part 140) and shall be at
least as follows:
35% Rated Current (at rated voltage) Load Application & 100% Rated Current Load Removal
Maximum recovery time 0.5 seconds to 97% of rated voltage. Overvoltage not more than 38%
with rated kVA at 0.8 pf thrown off, with maximum recovery time to 103% rated voltage not more
than 1 second.
Step Load Application
With 35% rated current applied at a power factor between 0.4 and zero lagging, the initial voltage
drop shall be limited to 15% of rated voltage with recovery to 97% of rated voltage in less than 0.5
seconds.
Note:
A Design 'D' induction motor as defined in NEMA MG1 Part 10, (or combination of motors) rated
at 1400 kW shall also be capable of starting without exceeding the maximum voltage drop of 15%
of rated voltage with recovery to 97% of rated voltage in less than 0.5 seconds and restoration to ±
1% of the steady state voltage within 10 seconds.
3.8 Noise
(a) The noise level criteria for the plant shall be as specified in GES A.04.
(b) Unless stated otherwise on the Data Sheets for individual machines, the sound pressure level shall
not exceed 81 dB(A) measured at not less than 1.1 yards (1 metre) from the equipment surface.
(c) Reference shall be made to NEMA MG3.
3.9 Critical Speeds

Rev 0 1999
Alternators shall preferably have a rigid, undercritical (stiff shaft) rotor-bearing system with the first critical
speed not lower than 125% of the synchronous speed.
However, certain machines may have an overcritical (flexible shaft) rotor-bearing system. The first critical
speed shall be lower than 80% of the synchronous speed but should not be lower than 60% of the
synchronous speed. The second critical speed shall not be lower than 125% of the synchronous speed.
The enclosures shall be adequately braced so that the critical speeds do not transmit excessive vibration into
the enclosure and components.
3.10 Overspeed
The machine shall be so constructed that in emergency they will withstand without mechanical injury,
overspeeds above the rated synchronous speed of 125% synchronous speed for 2 minutes.
3.11 Pulsating Stator Current
Alternators driven by machines which require a variable torque during each revolution, e.g. Diesel Engines,
shall have sufficient inertia to limit the deviation factor in the open circuit line to line terminal voltage to a
value not exceeding 0.1 as specified in NEMA MG1, Part 22, Clause 22.42.
The additional inertia necessary to comply with the current variation and speed irregularity requirements,
should be added to the rotating mass of the alternator.
If this requirement cannot be met, approval shall be obtained from the Owner regarding an alternative
design.
3.12 Parallel Operation
(a) The alternator shall be suitable for satisfactory parallel (droop or isochronous) operation with
other machines and systems, however, it shall be suitable for running independently if required.
(b) The speed governor will be provided by the Driving Machine supplier. For the purpose of
Electrical System Design and Operation, it is assumed that it will be a fast acting Electronic
Governor with a maximum speed regulation of 4% droop (Class C to NEMA Standard SM24,
Table 3.1).

2757 and BS 4999 Part 144), shall be used as extensively as possible for the alternator and excitation
equipment. The use of other than Class "F" material as a main insulation shall be stated in the Tender.
Details of the insulation shall accompany the tender and shall be supported by evidence of satisfactory
experience of a number of years continuous operation.
4.1.3 The direction of rotation shall be as required by the prime mover and indicated on the Data Sheets.
4.1.4 The main terminals shall be distinctly and permanently marked and identified to NEMA MG1 Part 2 (BS
Rev 0 1999
4999 Part 108).
4.2 Stator
4.2.1 The casing of the stator shall be of fabricated steel construction and the enclosure shall be a minimum of
IP54 to NEMA MG1 Part 5 (BS 4999, Part 5) totally enclosed.
4.2.2 All fixings and fastenings on the stator, components, windings and enclosures shall be positively locked to
withstand any vibratory and starting duties imposed on them.
4.2.3 The stator core shall be made up of high permeability, low loss silicon steel laminations suitably braced and
located to ensure true concentricity of the core and to reduce magnetic noise and vibration to a minimum.
No bolts or clamps shall pass through the core and permanently located and robust radial support fingers
shall be provided for the slot teeth.
4.2.4 The stator frame shall be of pressed and welded construction with the core clamped between endplates and
located by keybars. The baseplate shall be of the welded steel box girder type, stress relieved, where
necessary. The completed structure shall be proven to be free from excessive vibration including vibration
from critical speeds.
4.2.5 The ends of the stator frame shall be enclosed by rigid metallic end covers/bells. Rigid baffles shall be
provided to protect the stator end wirings and to control the distribution of the cooling air. Where these
baffles are subject to magnetic fields, they shall be of non-magnetic material. GRP baffles shall be braced
to prevent aerodynamic buffeting. The design shall prevent excessive 100 Hz/120 Hz vibration being
transmitted to the machine foundations, pipes or associated equipment.
4.2.6 The Owner's Inspector may require to check the truth of the stator bore at four positions around the
clockface at either end and in the centre of the stator 'pack'. Tolerances to be not more than ± 20 mil (0.5
mm) on nominal size.
The core slots shall be of the open type and wedges shall not be magnetic such as glass fibre.
4.3 Stator Windings and Connections
4.3.1 The stator winding shall be of diamond involute, rectangular strip, form wound type coils, with short
pitched (chorded) turns. The output voltage waveshape shall be sinusoidal with particular emphasis on
minimising the harmonic components of current generally (And 5th and 7th components in particular) plus
the 3rd and 9th components which can flow when the alternator neutral is effectively connected to earth
and the machine is operating in parallel with other machines or the industrial power system.
4.3.2 The conductors shall consist of a number of parallel insulated strips of copper of substantial cross section
transposed as necessary to minimise losses. The general construction of the stator and the bracing of the
winding overhang shall provide adequate cooling and avoid hot spots.
4.3.3 The winding shall be discharge free on a voltage falling to 'nominal' + 6%.
The preferred series of tests on the coils and completed stator is detailed in ANSI/IEEE 95 and 433
(BS 4999 Part 144).
The Vendor/Contractor shall detail in the tender which tests are included. He shall quote an extra price for
each test not included but which he is able to perform.
4.3.4 Anti-corona graphitised tape protection with end grading shall be applied to the slot portion of the insulated
coils with a semi-conducting stress grading tape applied to the end of the corona shield. The insulation
shall be void free and homogeneous.
Rev 0 1999
4.3.5 The stator winding overhang shall be supported from the frame keybars and adequately braced to prevent
movement under the specified system conditions for motor starting. The bracing shall withstand without
movement the full voltage fault currents associated with a sudden short circuit across the main terminals
with full automatic voltage regulator action when the alternator is connected to the prospect fault level
detailed on the Data Sheets.
4.3.6 One completed machine of any series shall undergo 100% rated terminal voltage sudden short circuit
testing, (preferably) with "point on wave" of switching selected to give at least one shot with full offset in
one phase. High speed photography of the end winding is also preferred to demonstrate the soundness of
the bracing, although physical inspection and a HV pressure test (after the short circuit) is acceptable, as is
random switching if "point on wave" is not possible.

5.0 NEMA/IEC DIFFERENCES
5.1 General
This specification is primarily written for machines manufactured in accordance with the American
(NEMA) Standards.
If it is necessary or advantageous to purchase machines in accordance with International (IEC) Standards,

Rev 0 1999
the specification can still be utilised but the salient differences occurring should be noted as detailed below.
5.2 Salient Differences
This section does not attempt to list every difference between American (NEMA) standards and IEC
standards, but covers only those salient differences that could affect the final installation if not properly
addressed during the Design phase of a contract.
5.2.1 Units - SI Units
The NEMA Standards in many cases utilise imperial units (horsepower, feet, pounds, degrees fahrenheit,
foot candles, etc), whilst the IEC Standards utilise SI units (metres, grammes, degrees celsius etc).
Note
For electrical equipment, the (American) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) have
recommended that the use of the imperial (British-American) units in use be reduced as rapidly as possible
in favour of the SI units, with certain implementations such as the use of horsepower being phased out first.
Where practicable, both systems have been shown in this standard and on the Electrical data Sheets since
the transition will take some time to fully implement.
5.2.2 Frame Size :- (IEC-72)
The standard frame sizes in MG-1 will be different to those in IEC 72, however, in either case, the final
frame sizes are normally assigned by the vendor against the required duty.
5.2.3 Ingress Protection (IP) (IEC 34-5) IEC 529
The IEC Code precisely defines the ingress protection offered to the machine by its enclosure against solid
bodies and moisture. The NEMA Code, MG-1-Part 5, is now similar, and for most refinery installations,
an enclosure of "IP54" (as defined in both codes) should be adequate for most installations.
5.2.4 Hazardous (Classified) Areas (GES L 35)
Full details of the comparison of IEC and American practices are detailed in NOC Specification GES L.35
and are not reiterated here.
If it is intended to purchase a machine to IEC Standards, reference shall be made to the contract hazardous
area drawing produced from the principles stated in GES L35 to establish the enclosure type needed.
Note: The National Electrical Code NFPA 70, Article 500 and API.RP500 cover the American approach
to hazardous (Classified) areas in some detail.
5.2.5 Cooling
The concepts are similar i.e. air or water cooled etc., only the method of identifying them is different.
Provided the requirement is clearly stated in words, it should not be a problem.
5.2.6 Rating (Performance)
Generally, for continuously rated machines, the IEC standards recognise only a continuous maximum
rating (CMR) which relates to a service factor of "1.0".
5.2.7 Testing MG-1 (IEC 34-2,9,12,14 and 15)
The principal methods of testing machines and evaluation of performance are covered in the IEC standards
by the parts of IEC-34 detailed above.
Rev 0 1999
The American machines are tested against ANSI/IEEE standards and all differ slightly.
This should not be a problem as the requirements are judged against guarantee figures given at the pre-
order stage by the Vendor and if agreed beforehand, either standard would be acceptable for the test
procedures and tolerances to cover the tests required and specified in NOC standard specifications.
5.2.8 Terminal Markings (IEC 34-8)
NEMA MG-1, (1993) part 2, gives terminal major markings with a "T" prefix, whereas the IEC code
utilises U, V, W for phases.
5.2.9 Grounding
Concerned with the nature and location of an intentional electrical interconnection between the Electrical
System Conductors and Ground.
In British Practice, the terms "Grounding" and "Ground" are replaced by "Earthing" and "Earth".
6.0 INSPECTION

writing, i.e. fully loaded (during zero power factor test), unless otherwise specified, octave band
sound pressure level measurements are to be made as detailed in NEMA, MG1, MG3, &
ANSI/IEEE Publication No. 85 (BS 4999 Part 109).
(b) Zero P.F. load run accepted, but account must be taken of background noise level by the method
described below.
(c) The set of decibel readings for each active band is to be tabulated and shall not exceed the levels
for Noise Rating 85dB(A).
(d) The running tests on one set of each rating are to be carried out in the presence of the Purchaser's
Inspecting Engineer, who will be responsible for approving the testing arrangements, the location
of the sound measuring equipment and for checking the accuracy of the recorded noise level.
(e) Pure tone
A pure tone is present in a noise when a component in a given octave band is within 10 dB of the
total level in the chosen octave band. Such a pure tone would be detected normally by ear but
special instrumentation is necessary if a quantitative analysis of the tone is required.
(f) Background Noise
The background noise levels when the machine is not on test should be determined using the same
filters and at the same points as for the test. The readings at each point with the machine on test
ought to exceed those due to the background noise alone by at least 10 dB.

34 NOTE 1 Exciter saturation constants are equal to S = (A - B) / B
35 Where A = pu exciter input signal (VOUT')
36 B = pu exciter output signal (EFD')
37 S1 = value at 75% Emax
38 S2 = value at 100% Emax (S2>S1)

40 NOTE 2 It is assumed that excitation is the brushless type unless other wise stated, and that the
41 AVR performance is correctly represented by the block diagram for an IEEE Type 2 model.
42 If an alternative block diagram represents the system offered, then the Vendor is requested
43 to represent the system by the appropriate block diagram bearing the AVR terms and
44 the appropriate parameters.
