The insulation condition of stator windings was measured by dissipation factor($tan{\delta}$) test in the six high voltage motors(rated 6.6kV) which had been in service for two years. The ${\Delta}tan{\delta}$ of motor D and E was higher than that of the rest motors. The specimens were drawn out from stator windings of the high voltage motor and their were analyzed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM result shows that large voids are present in the interface both turn insulation and groundwall insulation.

Partial discharge(PD) testing for different capacitive couplers was performed on a 6.6kV, 448kW pulverizer motor. The motor has been in service for twenty years. PD tests were measured using digital partial discharge detector(DPDD) and partial discharge analyzer(PDA), respectively. PDA is used to in the motor stator insulation, which three 80pF or three 500pF epoxy-mica couplers were installed, one per phase. The 500pF couplers did detect more normalized quantity number(NQN) than the 80pF couplers. DPDD and PDA showed that PD and NQN magnitudes increased with increase of ac voltage. Internal discharge was discovered in the motor stator insulation. DPDD and PDA test results are in accordance with the pattern and magnitude of PD.

In pumped storage Generator-motor stator windings gradually deteriorates due to mechanist, thermal, electrical stresses. These stresses combine to result in loose windings, delamination of the stator insulation and/or electrical tracking of the endwinding, all of which can lead to stator insulation failures. Since the degration of generator-motor is gradually occurred, regular inspection system is necessary to monitor degrading. The result of this diagnosis is a basic for the maintxnance of generator-motor.

Recently, many researches on a diagnosis of stator winding insulation of large generators are reported. They mostly utilize a trend analysis of Partial Discharge (PD). In this paper, a novel on-line monitoring system for an insulation diagnosis is proposed. This system obtains the parameters such as Maximum Partial Discharge Magnitude (QM), Normalized Quantity Number (NQN) and Dynamic Stagnation Voltage (DSV) by continuous on-line monitoring of winding insulation. It is capable of diagnosing the insulation condition by analyzing the trend of PD and utilizing the database built by the system.

On-line monitoring of fault discharge is an important approach for indicating the condition of electrical insulation of stator winding in high voltage motor. In this paper, several key aspects of on-line monitoring system are discussed, involving the characteristics of fault discharge of stator winding in high voltage motor, spectrum analysis of four simulation fault signals, feature extraction of internal fault discharge from apply voltage to breakdown. The study of the partial discharge activities allows to highlight the ageing stage in the winding fault under test. During the life of the winding insulation fault, the shape of PD signal change relating to the ageing stage. The ageing of stator winding insulation fault of high voltage motor is investigated based on the characteristics of partial discharge pulse distribution and statistical parameters, such as maximum, skewness and kurtosis using discrete wavelet trnasform coefficients.

The water leak in water-cooled generator stator windings can generate the serious accidents such as insulation breakdown and it brings a generator to the unexpected sudden outage. Accordingly, it is important to diagnose the water absorption of them for the effective operation of power plant. Especially, the capacitance value which is measured for diagnosis is very small so the special diagnosis methods like stochastic theory are needed. KEPRI developed the water absorption test equipment and diagnosis technology for them. The developed diagnosis technology is applied to the real system and the results of water absorption test for stator windings are agreed to them of water leak test.

This paper describes to access the insulation deterioration condition of the stator windings in six high voltage motors. Nondestructive tests have been carried out on stand-still motors. These tests include ac current increase rate($\Delta$I), delta tan delta(${\Delta}tan{\delta}$), and maximum partial discharge(PD). AC current and $tan{\delta}$ were measured by Schering bridge. The measurement of PD patterns were conducted using digital partial discharge detector. PD patterns were observed treeing and internal discharges in Motor 1 and 2. The stator windings of two motors were found to be in a poor condition and their were recommended to rewind. The stator. windings of four motors were judged to be in serviceable condition.

On-line partial discharge monitoring system for generator stator insulation is developed. This system consists of remote and host units. The remote unit detects partial discharge signals from SSC(Stator Slot Coupler) installed between wedge and stator windings. The host unit monitors the condition of winding insulation. This system will be used as a module of a generator on-line monitoring system utilizing global network.

Insulation failure of traction motor stator coil depends on the continuous stress imposed on it and knowing its insulation condition is an issue of significance for proper safety operation. In this paper, application of the NN (Neural Network) as a scheme of the off-line PD (partial discharge) diagnosis method that occurs at the stator coil of a traction motor was studied. For PD data acquisition, three defective models were made; internal void discharge model, slot discharge model and surface discharge model. PD data for recognition were acquired from a PD detector. Statistical distributions and parameters were calculated to perform recognition between model discharge sources. These statistical distribution parameters are applied to classify PD sources by the NN with a good recognition rate on the discharge sources.

Heat cycle aging of insulating materials in large generator stator winding has been investigated using both on-line and off-line test methods. On this study, principally, off-line test against actual generator in service was carried out to acquire information about polarization index(PI) and dissipation factor, dissipation factor tip-up, maximum partial discharge for the purpose of remnant breakdown voltage and life assessment. It was found from the tests that both dissipation factor and maximum partial discharge decreased with the increase of operating hours and starting numbers. It was found from off-line tests that the remnant breakdown voltage had a strong relationship with both dissipation factor and maximum partial discharge the remnant breakdown voltage as a results of both operating hours and starting number and the nondestructive tests were proposed as parameters which can predict the remnant lifetime of insulating materials in large generator stator windings.
