IEEE Guide for Operation and Maintenance of Hydro-Generators

Abstract

General recommendations for the operation, loading, and maintenance of synchronoushydro-generators and generator/motors are covered. This guide does not apply to synchronousmachines having cylindrical rotors. In this guide, the term hydro-generator is used to describe asynchronous machine coupled to a hydraulic turbine or pump-turbine. This guide is not intended toapply in any way to the prime mover.

Scope

This guide covers general recommendations for the operation, loading and maintenance of Hydro-Generators and generator/motors having salient pole rotors and conventional cooling systems.

Purpose

Various areas of the withdrawn standard will be updated and revised to current practice.
