11、 kVA and Larger)1. PurposeThe purpose of this guide is to present information necessary to permit an effective evaluation of the insulationsystems of large alternating-current rotating electrical machines. Such an evaluation can serve as a guide to the degreeof maintenance or replacement which might
12、 be deemed necessary, and also offer some indication of the future servicereliability of the equipment under consideration.2. ScopeThis guide is intended to apply in general to large alternating-current rotating electrical machines rated at 10 000 kVAor more, and operating at voltages of 6000 V and
13、above.3. Significance of MaintenanceRotating electrical machines are complex structures which are subjected to mechanical, electrical, and thermal stressesof varying magnitude. Of the various components, the insulation systems are the most susceptible to aging or damagedue to these stresses. The ser
14、vice life of an electrical machine will, therefore, largely depend on the serviceability ofthe insulation systems.Where reliability is of concern, adequate inspection and testing programs are advocated to assure that the equipmentis maintained in satisfactory condition to minimize the possibility of
15、 in-service failure.The experience and data obtained from regular maintenance inspection and testing programs can, in addition toproviding an evaluation of the present condition of the equipment, give some indication of long-term trends andprobable need for future repair or replacement.The extent to
16、 which a maintenance program is pursued will depend largely on the operators own experience andphilosophy, but should also take into account the importance of service reliability of the equipment. Where highservice reliability is required, a regular maintenance program involving periodic disassembly
17、 and knowledgeablevisual examination of the equipment, together with the application of electrical tests of proven significance, is stronglyrecommended.2 Copyright 1998 IEEE All Rights ReservedIEEE Std 56-1977 IEEE GUIDE FOR INSULATION MAINTENANCE OFIt should be recognized that some overpotential te
18、sts may be damaging to insulation in marginal condition. Wherethere is uncertainty, consultation with the manufacturer is recommended. This is implicit in setting up anymaintenance testing program.4. Service Conditions Reducing Insulation LifeAs has been stated, electrical machines and their insulat
19、ion systems are subjected to mechanical, electrical, andthermal stresses which give rise to many deteriorating influences, the most significant of which are the following.4.1 Thermal AgingGradual aging caused by temperatures due to normal operating loads.4.2 OvertemperatureUnusually high temperature
20、 from causes such as overload, high ambient temperature, restricted ventilation, and loss ofcooling liquid.4.3 OvervoltageUnusually high voltage such as from switching or lightning surges.4.4 ContaminationThis deteriorates electrical insulation by actually conducting current over insulated surfaces,
21、 or by attacking thematerial reducing its electrical insulating quality or its physical strength, or by thermally insulating the materialforcing it to operate at higher than normal temperatures. Included here are:Wetness or extreme humidityOil or greaseConducting dusts and particlesNonconducting dus
22、ts and particlesChemicals of industry4.5 Physical DamageThis contributes to electrical insulation failure by opening leakage paths through the insulation.

Insulation Systems in General Use5.1 Insulated PartsInsulation is present in various machine components, but the complexity of the structure is such that only a generaldescription can be given here. However, detailed information on the structure of insulation systems and modes ofinsulati
25、on failure are important to evaluation.5.1.1 Stator Winding.The stator winding with its associated leads is the main current-carrying winding of the machine. The coils of the statorwinding have strands and ground insulation and may have turn insulation.Wedges, blocks, and other insulated mechanical
26、supports are a part of the stator winding assembly.5.1.2 Rotor Winding.The rotors of ac machines are either salient pole or cylindrical type. In all cases, they have turn and ground insulation,insulated mechanical supports, and lead insulation and may have collector rings with insulation.5.1.3 Brush
27、 Rigging.Machines with collector rings will have insulated brush rigging.5.1.4 Core Assembly.The principal insulation components in this assembly are the insulation between laminations in the core and insulationon through bolts (when used).5.1.5 Other Parts.Insulation is sometimes used on bearings a
28、nd other mechanical parts such as hydrogen seals, oil seals, and pipingTemperature sensors may be applied, and these usually incorporate insulation. Refer to the manufacturers instructionbook.4 Copyright 1998 IEEE All Rights ReservedIEEE Std 56-1977 IEEE GUIDE FOR INSULATION MAINTENANCE OF5.2 Stator
29、-Winding Insulation5.2.1 Strand Insulation.The individual strands of stator-coil conductors are usually insulated with organic films, fibers bonded with resins, ormica in various forms bonded with resins. Fibers may be such materials as paper, cotton, asbestos, glass, polyester, orcombinations there
30、of.5.2.2 Turn Insulation (Conductor).In a coil with more than one turn, groups of strands forming a single-turn (conductor) may be held together andinsulated. Individual strand insulation, as described in Section 5.2.1, may also serve as turn insulation.5.2.3 Ground Insulation.Ground insulation is g
31、enerally defined as that insulation intended to insulate the current-carrying components (such asthe coils, the collector rings, and connections thereto) from one another and from the noncurrent-carrying componentswhich are usually considered to be grounded (such as the core iron, the shaft, and oth
32、er structural members).Ground insulation takes on many different forms depending on the type of machine and the manufacturers practices.Ground insulation is generally a dry-type, multilayered system comprising various insulating materials bonded andfilled. Mica or micaceous products are generally pr
33、eferred in high voltage machines for at least a part of the ground-insulation system.5.2.4 Insulation Grading System.The surface of slot portions of stator coils, including several inches of the coil beyond the core, is normallysemiconducting. The semiconducting characteristic is accomplished by the
34、 application of conducting varnish or by theuse of semiconducting tapes.5.2.5 Support Insulation.Supports may be nonmetallic or metallic in design. Nonmetallic supports are made of insulating material such aswood, molded parts, or compressed laminates of cotton, asbestos, glass, or synthetic fibers.
35、 Where necessary, metallicsupports are insulated.5.3 Rotor Winding Insulation5.3.1 Turn Insulation (Conductor).Turn insulation on wire-wound coils usually incorporates a thin insulating layer on the strand itself: for example,various materials such as asbestos, cotton, fiberglass, papers, micas, and synthetic materials.Turn insulation on strap-wound coils of both salient-pole and cylindrical-type rotors usually incorporates variousforms of tape or strip mat
