INNERE GEMEINSAME NULLSTROMSCHIENE IN EINEM GROSSEN DREIPHASENGENERATOR.

摘要

A common neutral bus is formed in a lower frame extension of a large three-phase generator by disposing three sets of neutral current transformers within the lower frame extension and interconnecting the three phases downstream of the neutral current transformers to form an internal neutral bus. The neutral bus is connected to an external neutral transformer through a neutral terminal of small size and low cost. Clamshell clamps are provided in the internal neutral bus for isolating the neutral ends of the generator winding for test purposes. Rigid support of the current transformers and a hollow copper tube passing therethrough permits use of light and low-cost hollow copper tubing in place of the relatively substantial and expensive neutral terminals conventionally required.
