Service Life Assessment for Hydro Stator Windings
The purpose of the Service Life Assessment method is to evaluate the present Dielectric Strength of Generator Stator Windings in hydroelectric power plants, and to decide the effective measures of accident prevention and the economical maintenance intervals. This method is developed by cooperative research.
It is required unit stoppage for nondestructive performance test.
We continue researching and developing the measurement in operation at present.

The scope of the Service Life Assessment method refers to resin-insulated generators with a rated voltage of 6kV or more. This method is also applied to compound insulation, and to insulation with a rated voltage of less than 6kV.
