DWG 40xx Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting for synchronous generator type 40xx


NOTE: At first, before checking the machine it is required to disconnect all electronic parts from
the terminal box of the generator (also the EMC filter)!
Ensure that the voltage regulator (mounted in the top of the terminal box) is disconnected.
Check of the exciter winding:
In a cold state of the machine (approx 25C), the exciter resistance is measurable between the red and
the grey wire going to the 6pin connector to the voltage regulator. These values should be measured
between 24 up to 27 Ohms. The insulation resistance between the case potential (measured with
500VDC) should be more than 100 kOhms.
Check of the winding resistance of the main stator:
The following resistance values can be read out at the datasheet table listed at page 2.
The listed values should be checked:

between the phases L1-L2-L3 (U-V-W) the resistance UV.


between the phases and the neutral wire L1-N, L2-N, L3-N the resistance U-N
between the voltage regulator supply wires (violet) the resistance ZU-ZV
between the voltage regulator supply (violet) and the neutral wire (blue) the resistance ZU-N
recommended to the VDE 0105-100 should the insulation resistance in a potential free system
more than 150 Ohm/Volt. The insulation resistance can be measured between every phase and
the case of the generator (green/yellow wire).

The measured values of the main stator winding could be differing from the rated values. It depends also
on the accuracy of the measuring equipment. The important fact is, that the measured values, witch are
belonging together should be always the same value.
If the values are differing highly from the rated values of the data sheet table, the machine should be
checked at GTS service.
