Nowadays, the number of cars purchased is about the same as that of a bicycle several decades ago. Almost all cars have become essential products at home. However, more and more cars will also lead to increased traffic accidents. Whether you have a lot of confidence in your driving ability, or if you have a long driving experience and learn more about safe driving skills, you will not be afraid of car accidents!

Emergency 1: Sudden braking in front of the car

Many car owners often complain about encounters with strangers. They will inadvertently brake when they are driving. At this time, the driver must maintain a sufficient safety distance in order to make a correct response in the event of an emergency braking. In many chain collisions, the first two or three vehicles are often braked, but the rear car is unable to stop. Therefore, some high-speed sudden-onset situations need emergency braking. At the same time, be sure not to be selfish. Remember to look behind and on both sides: If there is no sign of deceleration after the vehicle is judged, you must immediately turn on the “double-flash” prompt.

Emergency 2: Sudden parking in front of the car

In general, many drivers see a sudden stop in front of the car. Most of them will choose to accelerate beyond the side. Even the old drivers often do so because they feel that the car ahead will not be dangerous. Actually, this is a very dangerous act. If the front vehicle suddenly stops, there may be a car breakdown, an accident in front, or a driving accident. At this time, it is very likely that the vehicle in front will open the door. At this time, your overtaking will be very dangerous. The correct approach is that no matter what happens, the rear vehicle should understand the situation and make a decision; always observe the left door of the front car and slowly pass through the left side.

Emergency three: sudden change of traffic in front of the car

Referring to the sudden change of road, many car owners will grind their teeth because there is a possibility that they will collide with carelessness. In fact, if drivers want to change lanes, they need to play lights in advance and they should not change lanes. So be sure to control the distance between cars! In the process of driving, there must be a reason for the sudden change of lane in front of the car. There are emergencies or obstacles that must be avoided. Although it is visible, it is not necessarily visible to you, but if you accelerate the overtaking It is possible to directly hit an obstacle. Seeing that the front car suddenly changed lanes, don't be too happy. It is fundamental to drive safely.

Emergency 4: Deviant Road

Today, many cities have more spacious roads, basically three lanes or even more lanes. Some owners may be trying to show off their driving skills. They often make a detour. This is very dangerous. While not changing the road, try to take the middle lane as far as possible so that you can have enough time to deal with emergencies.

Emergency 5: Sudden Obstacles

Driving on the road will inevitably lead to obstacles, such as trash left in front of the car, pits on the ground, kittens and puppies in front, or unlucky cars that suddenly run out of control, especially if they encounter falling into the ground. Walking animals, most owners are panicked in the face of this situation, and many times they will chase directions. But this time, we must keep calm, use the most simple action to complete the evasion, in advance have a clear grasp of the dynamics of the surrounding vehicles, knowing which direction to avoid is the safest.

From a lot of news can be seen that the car accident is caused by human, so drivers must be seriously learn the safety knowledge of driving, although the above only said five kinds of emergency situations, but many times indeed occupy the majority of driver problems!

The insulation breakdown accident often occurred in generator. It includes interphases short circuit, inter-turn short circuit and ground fault.

    The interphase short circuit: the generator windings ends will be greatly impacted by electric power and may make the coil end deformed under two-phase or three-phase short circuit and differential protection tripping happening.

   Inter-turn short circuit: Generator outlet blasting, if it continues a long time, the stator copper wire will be melted. When no-load run, the generator three-phase voltage will be imbalance.

   Ground fault: Generator breakdown location is in the linear portion or notch position and stator ground protection act. The insulation resistance value between stator ground and ground is zero or minimum.

   The fundamental reason of generator insulation breakdown is that the stator coil insulation is weak or there is a corona etching in notch in run time. The treatment method is to find the point of breakdown and reworked and reinforced insulation. At the same time, eliminating the corona etching in a maximum extent is important.

III. A large noise or vibration with generator

   The reasons of a large noise or vibration with generator are:

   1. Foundation bolts loose, or STG subsidence. Treatment: fastening bolts. Recalibration concentricity.

   2. Generator rotor and Steam Turbine shaft are misalignment. Treatment: calibration concentricity.

   3. Bearing wall worn or damaged under short oil. Treatment: repaired bearing or replace a new bearing with same model.

   4. There is a friction between the stator and rotor. Treatment: find the friction location and reason, and then eliminate it.

   5. Fan or other fasteners loose. Treatment: Tighten fan and fasteners.

   6. Rotor coil partial short circuit, two points grounding or wiring errors. Treatment: please inspect the insulation of slip ring and the rotor coil to the ground. Or connect to the DC power source and check the voltage drop of each coil, winding direction and wiring method. So we can identify the cause of the malfunction and eliminate them.

  7. Brush is too hard, or the pressure is too large. Treatment: adjust the pressure or replace the same type of brush.

  8. Three-phase current are severe asymmetry. Treatment: please investigate that the three-phase current imbalance is in the allowable range or not. If it is not in the allowable range, please adjust three-phase load or reduce the load.

   9. Stator winding short circuit or ground. Treatment: Find out the fault and repair it.

   10. External fault or lightning strike. Treatment: if the vibration time is too long, please stop the STG and inspect.

Typical

cases:

   This is a 15 MW generator from a Shandong customer. The vibration of generator is reached to 0.12mm in running. After inspection the generator, we found that rotor dynamic AC impedance upheaval 12% in 2400-2700 and the dynamic inter-turn short circuit is serious. It destroys the balance of the magnetic field and causes the electromagnetic force uneven of generator rotor. After removal of the rotor retaining ring and treatment the rotor inter-turns, we start the STG. The vibration is about 0.01mm.

IV. The temperature of a generator is too high.

   Generally the temperature of a generator will be in the allowable value, if the generator running normally and the current, voltage, frequency, power, excitation current and power factor are all within the allowable fluctuation range. If a generator stator, core and other parts temperature are too high, please consider the following cases:

   1. Generator overload operation and exceed the allowable time. Treatment: Please reduce the generator load to the rated load or under rated load as soon as possible.

   2. Three-phase current are serious imbalance. Treatment: please find out the reason of imbalance. If it is the voltage causing, please check if it is the generator inter-turn short circuit. If it is load causing, please adjust the load and make it balance.

   3. The ventilation cooling system of generator is poor. For example, the temperature is too high, the air duct or exhaust duct are blocked, the coil and its ends are serious fouling. Treatment: please reduce the load suitability, improve ventilation, and remove fouling.

   4. The stator winding portion short circuit or ground. Treatment: Find out the short circuit or ground point and repair them, and then eliminate short circuit or ground risks.

   5. Insulation of the stator core may be partially damaged and short circuit, so there is a vortex and overheat. Treatment: please reduce the load suitability. If the generator reduces its efficiency obviously, please repair the generator stator core.

   6. The bearing is short of lubricating oil. The oil number is wrong. The oil quality is bad. The bearing is installed with a wrong way or the bearing is damaged. Treatment: please find out the reason and then replace the oil or clean, adjust or replace bearing.

V. Generator rotor ground

   Symptom: Generator grounding one point or two points grounding light plate light.

   Fault Analysis: Generator rotor winding insulation damage, coil deformity and severe dust and greasy attached in the ends seriously are all leading to the grounding of the generator rotor windings. When the generator rotor winding grounding in one point, there is electrical current pass as the ground does not constitute an electrical circuit.

However, after one point grounded, it is easy of leading another grounding point. If any part in excitation circuit ground, it can form ground fault of two or more points ground. It is very dangerous.

After the failure, the rotor windings are short-circuited. Because of the small winding DC resistance, the excitation current will increase. So the magnetic field of generator is out of balance, and main magnetic flux reduces largely. So the STG will vibrant strongly. Meanwhile the power factor of the generator will be increased significantly and get into leading phase running (absorption of reactive power from the grid).

   The stator field becomes in the frond and the rotor field becomes in the back. It will make the stator current increases. If the watcher notice that there is no excitation varying but the excitation current and stator current suddenly increases, and the excitation voltage and AC voltage are all suddenly drop, and power factor meter indicates increasing or leading phase, it means the generator rotor grounded or inter-turn short circuited. You should shut down the STG and blow-out magnetic. Please inspect the excitation system and rotor windings, and find out the short circuit point and treat it.  

VI. Excitation upgrading and generator test

   Excitation system upgrading, brushless exciter changes into the SCR excitation and make the generator maintenance easily. And it removes the disadvantage of brushless excitation dynamic adjustment slowly. The generator test includes stator insulation resistance test, the absorption ratio test, the iron loss test, leak test, AC and DC voltage withstand test, the rotor high speed balancing and overspeed test, dynamic and static AC impedance test, the generator no-load test, short circuit test, temperature rise test, residual pressure measurement, axis voltage measurement.
