Rotor Construction
WEG Group
The rotor is designed to withstand cyclic duty and rapid loading.
Radial ventilation provides even cooling. Low vibration levels are
achieved by dynamic balancing and machine design.

Field Coils
s coils are made of silver-bearing
s Rotor
strap copper for greater creep
resistance. The coil is accurately formed
to precisely fit in the rotor slot with
minimum distortion. Ventilating slots
are punched in the straight portion of
the coils to allow for radial discharge
of cooling air.

Retaining Rings
Retaining rings support the rotor coil end
turns against the centrifugal forces
encountered during high-speed operation.
They are made from forgings that meet
rigid specifications and are resistant to
stress corrosion cracking. Compliance with
these specifications is assured by tests for
physical properties made on prolongations
allowed at the end of the forging.
Ultrasonic tests are conducted to assure
soundness of the forging. Any forging
found to be defective is rejected. Circular
steel plates are shrunk into the outer end
of the retaining ring to add section and to
reduce distortion. The retaining rings are
shrunk on a machined fit on the rotor
body. This fit is calculated to provide firm
centering of the ring on the rotor body
even under overspeed conditions.
Rotor Fans
Steel axial flow fans are fabricated, tested
and balanced. The fans are keyed and
shrunk on the rotor body outboard of the
retainer rings.
Brushless Excitation
An axial hole is drilled in to the shaft at the
exciter end and is used to carry DC power
from the exciter, under the bearing journal,
to the main field winding.
