If a turbine trip occurs when the grid is not connected to the plant, the main generator will be available to power the RCPs for at least 3 seconds before the generator output breaker is
Generators for a power plant serving an installation will be in the range from 4160 volts to 13.8 kV to suit the size of the unit and primary distribution system voltage.
PIT type generators are used for smaller, low-head applications and are coupled via step-up gear to the horizontal turbine shaft. For low-head hydropower stations with lower ratings, pit
One station service transformer supplied from the transmission system should be provided for a normal station service bus, and an emergency station service bus should be supplied from an
The SGen series generators are engineered to withstand the rigors of industrial use to commercial power generators and are built to deliver high voltage power solutions, ensuring that your
Conventional modern generators produce electricity at a frequency that is a multiple of the rotation speed of the machine. Voltage is usually no more than 6 to 40 kV.
