OIL RIG MOTOR TYPE 4903CX
SPECIAL FEATURES
Machine conforms to IEC 349
Split carbon brushes with rubber tops are used for better
commutation.
Brush holders are secured to the magnet frame by micalex
insulated pins.
A PTFE insulator mounted on the support pin provides a creepage
surface that is very easy to clean.
The radial distance of the brush holder from the commutator and
brush spring tensions can be adjusted .
Arcing ring is provided to minimize the damage in the event of
flashover.
Special Constructional Feature
Armature
The varnished electrical sheet steel punchings.
Shaft is machined from Nickel-Chromium-Molybdenum
steel to BS 970,grade EMN25V.
Two rows of ventilating ducts are provided for effective
cooling.
The commutator is made of silver bearing copper
segments.
The coils are held down in the core slots with epoxy
glass wedges.
Res-I-glass tape is used to retain the end windings.
The armature is vacuum and pressure impregnated with
high quality solventless polyester varnish.
The armature is dynamically balanced.

M/s ONGC and other oil sectors require high rated brushless
alternators to cater for various load conditions of drilling
operation of oil well during critical drilling, deep drilling and
angular drilling. It has been noticed that during these conditions
due to alternator operation at very low power factor, high
reactive power is required.
Also, since oil rig wells are normally located at far remote places,
alternators are also to be designed with self start without any
field flushing at site. The existing alternators used for oil rig
application are rated for 1215 kVA, 1000 RPM and it was felt
that the residual voltage generated by the alternator is
insufficient for self starting of alternator at site. Now with the
development of newly designed brushless alternator of 1430
kVA, 1000 RPM rating all the above limitations shall be
contained.
