Flux probe for electric generator

摘要

A flux probe ( 100 ) for measuring the rotor flux of an electric generator ( 10 ). The probe ( 100 ) is affixed to a probe carrier ( 102 ) and held within a stator coil slot ( 62 ) by affixing the carrier ( 102 ) to two opposing grooves ( 104 ) formed in sidewalls ( 81 ) of the slot ( 62 ). One or more stator coils ( 18 ) are also disposed in the slot ( 62 ) and retained therein by a wedge ( 74 ) and corresponding spring ( 72 ) that applies an radially outwardly directed force to the coils ( 18 ). In one embodiment the probe carrier ( 102 ) is affixed to a radially inwardly directed face ( 82 ) of the wedge ( 74 ).
