Electrical Machine Installation And Wiring Practice by M. Kaminsky; V. Poluchankin
This book covers methods for installing medium and large electrical machines, including their inspection and testing. It addresses the dispatch of electrical machines in assembled condition, focusing on packaging and handling methods. The book also covers hoisting and hauling facilities, fixtures, tools, instruments, and materials used during the installation of electrical machines.
It provides brief information on tolerances and fitting considerations during the mounting process. Recommendations are made for preparing electrical machines for installation, including inspection, acceptance of foundation plates, and marking out basic axes. The installation procedure for electrical machines delivered on-site in a disassembled condition is described in detail, covering the sequence of operations, setting and levelling of bed plates and bearing pedestals, pre-installation tests of rotors and stators, rotor fitting onto the stator, installation of non-split and split stators, and adjustment of gaps between stator and rotor.
Additionally, the book specifies methods for installing electrical machines delivered on-site in an assembled condition, including the installation technique for electrical machines with segmental bearings. It discusses various types of coupling electrical machine shafts to other shafts and their design features, along with compensating abilities. It also covers how to fit half-couplings on shafts, align shafts, and the types of alignment fixtures to use.
The book provides data on the mechanical design and assembly of bearings, particularly the alignment of antifriction bearing shells. It explains how to check and wire electrical machine current-carrying parts, verify commutator surfaces, and adjust the brush gear. Methods for drying moist insulation of electrical machines are outlined, with recommendations for recognizing when a machine can be placed in operation without drying its insulation.
Post-insulation checks, tests, trial starts, and debugging of electrical machines are specified. Finally, the book offers recommendations on the organisation of labour and safety precautions to be observed during the installation of electrical machines.
