The bar ends are connected to form turns & winding branches ,
which are then joined by connecting leads to form phase winding.
Output leads are brought out of the stator casing with the help
of terminal bushing. Normally there are 6 terminal bushing,
3 each for phase & neutral side.These are brought out at the
non driving end of the machine.
Stator frame has following component
Hydrogen gas coolers are provided to cool the hydrogen gas
after it gained heat in circulating through the generator stator
& rotor. They are situated in gas tight compartments & are
located in the outer casing of the generator.
Hydrogen gas coolers consists of cooling tubes made out of
brass. The tubes are arranged in a staggered form so as to
expose maximum surface area to hot hydrogen.
Copper wire is wound on the tubes to increase the surface
area of the cooling water tubes.
Cooling water flows through the tubes, & the hydrogen flows across the cooling tubes.
Hydrogen thus comes in contact with the external surface of the cooling water tubes
& gets cooled.
END SHIELD
The ends of the stator
frame are closed by End
shield. These End shield are
made in two halves
to make it a simple
assembly.
Rotor
Wedge
Cross
Pole
Slot
Two propeller types of fans are shaft mounted
on either end of the rotor body, for circulating
the cooling gas inside the generator casing.
SLIP RING
For feeding the excitation current to the rotor winding slip ring
is provided on the rotor shaft. This is electrically connected to
the rotor winding by central feed lead.
These are mounted between the end shield & the bearing.

Pneumatic test at Slip- ring portion.
Slip – ring diameter ( < 20mm)
Brush Length wearing (>50%)
Open Circuit test ( To calculate no load core
loss and windage and friction losses)
