2-pole, air-cooled generators

Our BRUSH™ Power Generation 2-pole DAX air-cooled generators can be driven by steam or gas turbines providing power outputs from 20 to 310 MVA (including BDAX with brushless excitation control, and YDAX with brushed/static excitation control). With over 3,500 active installations, our proven units are specified by leading industrialists, EPCs and facility operators.

Stator

The stator frame is designed to withstand mechanical stresses under fault conditions. The windings are insulated with a resin-rich mica glass tape that provides excellent insulation performance at temperatures up to class F.

Rotor

The rotor is fabricated from a one-piece forging of degassed nickel chromium molybdenum, which provides excellent tensile properties. The rotor winding conductor material is high conductivity copper/silver alloy strip with each turn insulated with Class F insulation. The end-windings are held in place by retaining rings manufactured from austenitic non-magnetic 18-18 manganese chromium steel.

Excitation

Brushless excitation consists of three-phase, rotating armature, alternating current generator, with a shaft-mounted fused rotating rectifier. An alternative to brushless excitation is static excitation which is accomplished by routing power from the generator through transformers through a controlled rectifier to the main field through slip rings.
