Description
In addition to synchronous motors, the company manufactures synchronous generators at the plant in Round Rock. According to the brochure 'Synchronous Machines', they are used in a wide range of power generation installations: with gas turbines and engines, at hydroelectric power plants, in wind turbines and in turboexpander units that recover the energy of gas pressure. The company also has experience assembling wind turbines (2007–2013, under a contract with DeWind). The generators are designed to the requirements of each specific project and use the same design base as the company's synchronous motors: a rotor on a forged alloy steel shaft with a laminated spider and poles fixed in dovetail slots with conical keys; field coils of copper strip wound on edge, with thermosetting interturn insulation; a damper winding of copper or copper alloy; a stator of segments of non-ageing electrical steel, clamped with studs and welded bars; split sleeve bearings with a spherical seat and a four-element seal. The stator winding has Thermalastic® insulation with vacuum-pressure epoxy impregnation. Excitation is brush or brushless; the synchronizing module monitors rotor speed and excitation voltage. Specific power and voltage ranges of the generators are not given on the website or in the brochure; the parameters are determined by the order. Large machines are manufactured and tested at the plant in Round Rock, Texas, USA, which has produced large DC motors since 1976, AC induction motors since 1977 and synchronous motors since 1978.
