 Preface

3 Preface
This section defines the designated use of SCMUO test system and contains a short introduction to
the SCMUO measurement principle.

3.1 Measurement principle

The stator cores of rotating machines such as generators and motors are made of thin stacked
laminated steel segments, insulated against each other by for example a layer of varnish to minimize
losses caused by eddy currents. Weak spots or damage to insulation can cause interlamination short-
circuits. These in turn will increase eddy currents resulting in local hot spots in the core, which in the
worst-case lead to major damage of electrical equipment due to partial melting of the core.
These weak spots can be detected by a stray flux measurement provided by SCMUO. Short circuits in
the stator layers cause an induction loop, which is closed by the keybars on the back of the core. If a
changing magnetic field is applied, a current will be induced, which causes a hotspot as well as
additional stray flux on the surface of the stator core. This stray flux can be detected and localized by
moving a Chattock coil along the stator core surface slot by slot.

2 Damage 6 Chattock coil
3 Induced current 7 Fault current
4 FLUX 8 Stator core

The measurement is carried out progressively moving from one slot to the next and the Chattock coil
is placed over each slot teeth pair.

1 Slot 2 Slot teeth

3.2 Excitation winding

The excitation winding is an auxiliary winding that is wrapped around the stator core and is used to
excite the stator core to a certain percentage of the rated flux. This is usually in the range of 2% to
10%. A widely accepted value for the excitation is 4% of the rated flux. The excitation cable should not
come too close to the measurement coils. The minimum distance between the excitation winding and
the Chattock coils used for the eddy current measurement is generally 10 slots on each side of the
measurement. In case the excitation cable cannot be setup in the middle of the stator bore the
placement of the excitation cable must be changed once during the actual measurement. In other
words, approximately one half of the stator is measured with the excitation cable in the first position
after which the excitation cable is moved to a location which allows carrying out the measurement a
full circle back to the starting position.
The excitation winding arrangement depends on the type of generator and the local installation
scheme. In general, the goal is to achieve an evenly distributed flux over the circumference of the
core.

Hydro generators
In the case of hydro generators and motors where the core circumference is relatively short compared
to the length of the core, the best solution is achieved with a centered, well distributed winding,
however, this is often not possible due to practical limitations. The number of turns of the excitation
winding is usually higher for these types of machines.
Hydro generator stators are often composed of single segments. Excitation on the measured segment
is recommended. If this is not possible, a comparison measurement within the stator can be done to
ensure the flux is distributed evenly. These calculations are completed automatically within the
Primary Test Manager software.

12 OMICRON electronics GmbH

 Preface

Turbo generators
Compared to hydro generators, turbo generators require fewer turns of the excitation winding to
achieve a certain percentage of the rated flux. The turbo generator excitation cable was introduced for
this purpose. This cable, when attached to WMP1 creates a winding of 2 turns per loop.

Other arrangements
For some assets, the winding setups described above are not possible for practical reasons. In such
cases, a test measurement should be performed on a few (healthy) slots to check that the results are
comparable and, if yes, an evenly distributed flux over the circumference of the stator can be
assumed. It should be noted that the excitation winding needs to be moved at least once during the
measurement.

Turbo generators Other arrangement

Hydro generators Other arrangement

3.3 Interpretation
Stray flux measurements are comparative measurements. Individual results of slot measurements can
be compared with other slot measurements or with stray flux measurements of the same stator
recorded at an earlier stage. Any peaks in the traces of a slot which are indicating a difference from
the other slots and/or from previous measurements should be investigated.
When interpreting the measurement results, the Quad current is of particular interest, as the
parameter is more sensitive regarding potential weak spots compared to the InPhase component. By
overlapping the different traces of the slots and by using the heat map, peaks can be easily identified
and checked to see if further actions are required. Both of these features are available in Primary Test
Manager.

OMICRON electronics GmbH 13

Stator Core Measurement Upgrade Option User Manual

In addition to the comparative approach, absolute limits for the Quad current are also available. It is
widely accepted that a Quad current higher than 100 mA at an excitation of 4% of the rated flux is
indicative of a weak spot and should be investigated further. Different limits can be displayed in the
Primary Test Manager heat map by adjusting the adaptable threshold value.

3.3.1 Quad value normalization

Depending on the stator material and its design, there is a certain phase shift between the reference
excitation and the measured values. This results in a standing offset of the Quad and Inphase values.
Due to material inhomogeneity, this standing offset value may differ slightly between slots. As a Quad
value limit is widely used to indicate a spot which should be investigated, a normalization around the
zero line of the Quad is implemented for a better interpretation of the results. This is done by adapting
the phase shift between the measurement and excitation signals to place the quad value mean around
the zero line.
This normalization is performed in real time during the measurement and the final normalization is
updated after every scan of the coil by placing the zero line at the mean value of the measurement.
The originally measured values can be found in the Excel reporting tool.

3.3.2 Measuring at frequencies higher than mains frequency

A further degree of freedom is provided by CPC 100 by testing at frequencies differing from mains
frequency up to 400 Hz. This enables a higher signal to noise ratio, as well as the adaption of the
operating point of the test setup in different excitation points. The axial voltage can be increased by
testing with higher frequencies.

3.3.3 Stator segment joints

Due to their size, hydro generator stators are often produced in two or more segments. These
segments are manufactured at the manufacturers workshop and brought to the installation site
individually where assembly takes place. The connection interface between these segments is visible
in the measurement as higher stray flux is occurring. This is normal behavior.
The excitation winding must be moved to a new location before the minimum distance of 10 slots
between the excitation winding and the rail is reached.

3.4 Primary Test Manager

Primary Test Manager is a management tool for testing primary assets such as power transformers,
circuit breakers, current transformers, and rotating machines with the OMICRON test systems.
Primary Test Manager provides a computer interface to the test set, controls the automated test
procedures, and facilitates testing of primary assets by guiding you through the test workflow.
Primary Test Manager uses the concept of jobs. A job contains all relevant information about the
location, the asset under test, and the tests. With Primary Test Manager, you can process jobs as
separate entities and create new jobs, manage locations, assets, jobs, and reports, and execute
prepared jobs. For a specified job, you can make measurements on the asset under test by just
pressing the I/0 button on the front panel of the CPC 100 test system. After you have performed a test,
you can generate exhaustive test reports. Primary Test Manager runs on a computer and
communicates with the test set through an Ethernet connection.

• Turbo generator cable (30m)
• Rail motor cable (10 m)
• Rail encoder cable (10 m)
• Measurement cable RAA1-to-SCU1 (12 m)
• Booster cable (6m)
• Test lead cable (25cm, red)
• Test lead cable (2m, red)
• Test lead cable (2m, black)
• V2AC-to-SCU1 cable (2 m)
• Grounding cable (6m)
• Safety connector cable (2m)
• 2x Ethernet cable to connect the SCU1 to CPC 100 and to the PC (3m)
• Power cable
A special SCMUO Extension set is available if the size of the stator to be measured, or the location of
the stator, requires connecting more than one excitation cable together. A standard excitation cable
and a turbo generator cable can be connected together. In this case a standard generator cable
functions as a turbo generator cable with 2 turns.

4.5.1 Cable connector and socket notches

All multi-pole cable connectors of the SCMUO cables and the corresponding sockets on SCU1,
WMP1, RAA1 and CPC 100 have coded notches to prevent erroneous insertions.

nothces to prevent insertion of wrong
cables

4.5.2 Extension set

SCMUO contains one standard excitation cable (20 m). An extension set can be purchased which
contains a standard extension cable (20m) and an extension connector. The standard excitation cable
can be connected to the standard extension cable using the extension connector.

Figure 4-10: Extension set

1 Extension cable 2 Extension connector

4.5.3 Turbo generator extension set

Turbo Generators have different dimensions than hydro generators. Therefore, the calculated value
for the 4% flux measurement could exceed the maximum output voltage of the CPC 100 when solely
using the standard excitation cable.
The optional Turbo Generator Extension Set consists of an additional cable (30 m) and an extension
connector. The turbo generator cable contains 2 wires, whereas the standard cable contains 8.

22 OMICRON electronics GmbH

 Hardware overview

Despite the difference in the number of wires, the turbo generator extension cable can be connected
to a standard excitation cable. The Turbo Generator Extension Set extension connector is designed to
enable cross-use with the net result of 2 effective wires.
Thus, the effective number of wires in the combined cable is always determined by the cable which
has the smallest number of wires.

4.6 Safety cords & straps

Safety cords or straps are required to secure RAA1 to the stator. They prevent accidental detachment
which may cause damage to RAA1 and/or the asset being tested, as well as personal injury. The
safety cords or straps must be attached to both ends of the RAA1.

CAUTION
Minor or moderate injury may occur if the appropriate safety instructions are not
observed
Always attach the safety cords or straps to both ends of RAA1 and the stator under test to prevent
equipment damage or injuries in case the rail brackets should come loose from the stator.

SCMUO in combination with CPC 100

SCMUO and its components are intended to be used together with CPC 100 to perform tests on
rotating machine stators. SCMUO works as an add-on device to CPC 100.
The safety instructions that apply to CPC 100 and its accessories also apply to SCMUO. However,
SCMUO requires some additional precautions and measures.
Before operating the SCMUO, read the safety instructions in the following documents:
u Before handling SCMUO and/or cables in any way, make sure that CPC 100 is turned off. Either
use the power switch or press the CPC 100 Emergency Stop button.
u Connect the equipotential ground terminal of CPC 100 to the equipotential ground terminal of
SCMUO Control Unit (SCU1) with a solid connection of at least 6 mm2 cross-section to the ground
terminal of the stator under test.
u Connect the test system with a solid connection of at least 6 mm2 cross-section to the grounding
terminal of the stator to be tested.
u Make sure that the ground terminal of the stator is in good condition, clean and free of oxidation.
u Do not open the housing of any of the SCMUO component housings or the housing of CPC 100.
u Do not repair, modify, extend, or adapt SCMUO or its accessories.
u Use only original cables and accessories available from OMICRON.
u Use SCMUO and its accessories only if they are in a technically sound condition.
u Make sure the use of SCMUO is in accordance with the regulations on site and the designated use
described in this document.
u Comply with the workflows described in this and related documents. Avoid interruptions or
distractions that could affect safety.
u After finishing the measurement, check that all components are undamaged and clean the cables
of possible dirt or contamination.
The use of the SCMUO test system requires that:
u the rotor of the rotating machine has been removed or enough space is available between the
rotor and stator e.g. if one salient pole is removed

OMICRON electronics GmbH 29

Stator Core Measurement Upgrade Option User Manual

u the electrical inputs and outputs to the rotating machine have been switched off and galvanically
isolated from other devices
u if the winding is present, and to avoid any additional currents, each phase, if required, should be
grounded on only one side. If a grounding of both ends is required, try to make the connections as
equal as possible.
u the applicable regulations for accident prevention in the country and at the site of operation and
the accepted technical procedures for safe and competent work are heeded.

6.3 Selecting the optimal measurement coil

Check the size of the slot on the stator either from the technical data of the rotating machine or by
measuring the slot width and then select either the narrow or wide measurement coil.

6.4 Calibrating the measurement coil

Before performing any measurements using SCMUO, the coil needs to be calibrated using a
magnitude calibration method. To calibrate connect the SCMUO components as shown below:

To PC

Figure 6-2: Setup for calibrating the selected measurement coil

6.4.1 Calibration procedure

Follow these steps to calibrate the selected measurement coil:
1. Connect SCMUO components
2. Place the end-pieces of the coil into the calibration groove on the lower front panel of SCU1

30 OMICRON electronics GmbH

 Application

3. Adjust both end-pieces to equal distance from the center wire in the calibration groove,
approximately the same distance as the measured slot width.
4. Start the calibration procedure from Primary Test Manager user interface
5. Wait until the calibration factor is stable i.e. a value that does not fluctuate more than 0.5mV.
6. Press Stop in Primary Test Manager.
7. Remove the measurement coil.
8. The measurement coil is now ready to be installed on the measurement coil bracket.
The phase calibration happens automatically during the measurement. This ensures that the Quad
current is placed around the zero level and helps regarding interpretation. As potential faults only
affect a small portion of the slot compared to the entire slot length, this does not influence the Quad
offset.

NOTICE
Equipment damage or loss of data possible
If checking a potential faulty slot, ensure that a portion of healthy slot is also scanned.

6.5 Measuring stator cores

After calibration of the selected measurement coil the setup needs to be changed to the configuration
shown below.

To PC

Figure 6-3: Setup for measuring stator cores

OMICRON electronics GmbH 31

Stator Core Measurement Upgrade Option User Manual

6.5.1 Calculating the required number of excitation cable loops

The calculation for the excitation voltage from CPC 100 is dependent on the test object, as well as the
number of times the excitation cable is wrapped around the stator.
The number of times the excitation cable is wrapped around the stator depends on the cable available
(standard or turbo generator cable) and the number of turns of the cable itself. There is a certain
degree of freedom with the excitation cable as it allows the measurement setup to be adjusted in
regard to the voltage and current which need to be supplied by the device. The higher the turns, the
higher the voltage and the lower the current required from CPC 100 in order to reach a certain
percentage of the rated flux and vice versa.
Primary Test Manager software includes a function to help determine the required number of loops
around the stator core. Use the software and determine the optimal number of loops before winding
the excitation loop. Two methods are available to calculate the excitation.

Method 1
The default method is using parameters from the windings scheme. This requires the rated voltage of
the asset as stated on the asset’s nameplate, as well as the frequency and number of phases. All of
these values can be entered in the settings and conditions fields of the test in Primary Test Manager.
The first additional parameter is the number of turns followed by the number of bars or coils per slot.
The number of bars or coils is usually two.
The next parameter is the turns per coil. This refers to how many times the winding is wrapped around
in a single coil segment. For Roebel-bar windings, this number is 1. For coil windings or randomly
wound windings, the number is higher.
The last parameter is the number of parallel circuits per phase.

Method 2
The second method is based on the core dimensions and the rated induction of the iron (a value
between 0.9 - 1.1 Tesla can be assumed in this case).
The calculation is done when every parameter for a certain method and the percentage of rated flux
are entered.
Using the winding scheme listed in method 1 for the calculation is recommended; the core dimensions
listed in method 2 should only be used if no winding scheme is available.
The excitation voltage result calculated according to the different methods may differ slightly but
should be in the same range.
If the excitation voltage falls outside the limits, a notification will appear in Primary Test Manager. If
this occurs, reduce the number of turns of the excitation cable.
If you are using the optional Extension Cable, the number of effective wires remains at 8; if using the
optional Turbo Generator Extension Cable, the number of effective wires will be 2.

6.5.2 Installing the excitation cable

The number of turns depends on the desired nominal flux. For more information on calculating the
number of turns, see Calculating the required number of excitation cable loops on page 32. The ideal
method for looping the excitation cable on the stator core is a centered and well-distributed winding
arrangement.

32 OMICRON electronics GmbH

 Application

6.5.3 Automatic measurement procedure

Follow these steps to perform automatic stator core measurements using SCMUO:
1. Connect SCMUO components.
2. Place the rail at the first slot where you would like to begin the measurement.

The start of the rail must extend far enough for the measurement coil to have enough space to
pass beyond the desired testing start position of the slot.
The end of the rail must extend far enough for the measurement coil to have enough space to
pass beyond the desired end testing position of the slot.

3. Attach the safety cords to both ends of the rail and the stator.

Figure 6-4: Attaching the safety cord

If using the safety straps, ensure that the metal clasp is adequately tightened before operating
the rail. The threading direction is indicated on the clasp.

Figure 6-5: Threading direction

4. Ensure that the measurement coil is properly calibrated (see Calibrating the measurement coil on
page 30).
5. Attach the measurement coil bracket onto the bracket arm on the slide and insert the
measurement coil into the bracket.

OMICRON electronics GmbH 33

Stator Core Measurement Upgrade Option User Manual

Figure 6-6: Attaching the measurement coil

6. Determine the correct width for the measurement coil bracket (see Selecting the optimal
measurement coil on page 30).
7. Adjust the arm position so the measurement coil bracket can move smoothly along a single slot
while maintaining a distance of approximately 2 mm from the stator core.

Figure 6-7: Adjusting the arm position

You can move the slide manually to make the measurement coil travel back and forth along
the rail to ensure the placement is suitable for unimpeded movement.

8. Enter the required information into Primary Test Manager (see Electromagnetic Core Imperfection
Detection on page 25).
ð adjust the markers on the side of the rail to the start and end position of the measurement.
Enter the distances on the ruler into the corresponding fields in Primary Test Manager. This
will determine when SCMUO starts and ends collecting measurement data.
ð when entering the rail’s position into Primary Test Manager, it is always in reference to the
edge of the stator and measured using the zero value on the ruler found on SCMUO. In the
following diagram, for example, the rail may have an initial offset value of -40mm in the first
position and a offset value of 2000mm in the second position.

9. Press the I/O (test start/stop) button on CPC 100:
ð the CPC 100 booster will ramp up the output voltage to the user defined test voltage
ð the slide will move the measurement coil along the longitudinal axis of the rail up to a point
defined by the data entered into Primary Test Manager.
ð The CPC 100 I/O button only needs to be pressed once at the start of the test. Individual slot
measurement is controlled via the Primary Test Manager interface.
10. After the slot has been scanned, the slide will automatically return to the zero position and the
CPC 100 booster voltage will ramp down to zero volts.
11. Move the rail to the next slot and repeat the measurement.

The measurement can also be controlled via the additional push button hardware. See Manual
measurement procedure on page 36 for more information regarding using the push button.

To effectively move the rail, grip it firmly with both hands and twist away from the stator core
until the magnets release. Slide the rail along the stator until the measurement coil bracket is
precisely lined up with the next slot to be measured and place the rail back into position,
ensuring that the magnets have gripped the stator core. During operation a layer of oil and/or
dirt may build up on the magnetic rail mounts. If the magnets have difficulty gripping the stator
core, please follow the cleaning procedure outlined in Cleaning the SCMUO components on
page 40.

12. After all slots have been measured, save the results and dismantle the setup.

OMICRON electronics GmbH 35

Stator Core Measurement Upgrade Option User Manual

ð Press the I/O button on CPC 100.

ð Remove the rail from the stator core only when the green light on CPC 100 is lit.
ð Remove the wound excitation cable from around the stator core.
ð Remove connection cables between units.
ð Remove system grounding from the stator core, CPC 100 and SCU1.
ð Pack SCMUO into the transport cases.

NOTICE
Equipment damage or loss of data possible
Results can be saved at any point during the testing procedure and saving often is recommended
to avoid possible loss of data.

6.5.4 Manual measurement procedure

The manual measurement procedure is executed in a similar way to the automatic procedure. Instead
of installing the rail, attach the measurement coil to the handle included with SCMUO. Once the
measurement coil is attached, follow steps 9 through 12 outlined in the automatic testing procedure
while manually moving the measurement coil along the slot. Slot measurement length is determined
manually by selecting the appropriate option in Primary Test Manager.
Optionally, a push button can be connected via the binary-in port on CPC 100 to allow for easier
measuring. The button can be screwed on to the handle which is then attached to the manual coil
support.

Figure 6-9: Handle with button

The 20 m push button cable must be attached to the Binary IN port on CPC 100.

36 OMICRON electronics GmbH

 Application

By default, the push button is normally closed. To create a new slot, press and hold the push button
for more than two seconds. To record a new value, press and hold the push button for less than two
seconds. To save the current result, short press the button. A sound on the PC will indicate if the
command is successfully received. The following alternating slot scan direction is assumed when
using the push button and manual measurement option:
