Guidance for installation procedures and tolerances of hydroelectric machines - Part 2: Vertical generators

IEC 63132-2:2020: The purpose of this this part of IEC 63132 is to establish, in a general way, suitable procedures and tolerances for installation of generator. This document presents a typical assembly. There are many possible ways to assemble a unit. The size of the machines, design of the machines, layout of the powerhouse or delivery schedule of the components are some of the elements that could result in additional steps, the elimination of some steps and/or assembly sequences. It is understood that a publication of this type will be binding only if, and to the extent that, both contracting parties have agreed upon it. This document excludes matters of purely commercial interest, except those inextricably bound up with the conduct of installation. This document applies to vertical generators according to IEC 60034-7. The tolerances in this document have been established upon best practices and experience, although it is recognized that other standards specify different tolerances. Brushless excitation system is not included in this document. Wherever this document specifies that documents, drawings or information is supplied by a manufacturer (or by manufacturers), each individual manufacturer will furnish the appropriate information for their own supply only.

IEC 63132-2:2020 L’objectif de la présente partie de l'IEC 63132 est d’établir, d’une façon générale, des procédures et des tolérances adéquates pour l’installation des turbines et alternateurs hydroélectriques. Ce document présente un assemblage typique. Il y a plusieurs façons possibles pour assembler un groupe. Les dimensions des machines, la conception des machines, le plan de la centrale et l’échéancier des livraisons des différentes composantes sont quelques éléments qui peuvent résulter en l’ajout d’étapes, l’élimination de certaines étapes et/ou des séquences d’assemblages. Il est entendu que ce type de document sera contraignant seulement si, et dans la mesure où, les deux parties contractuelles l’ont convenu. Ce document exclut les questions d’intérêt purement commercial, sauf celles inextricablement liées au déroulement de l’installation. Les tolérances mentionnées dans ce document ont été déterminées selon les meilleures pratiques et l’expérience, bien qu’il soit reconnu que d’autres normes spécifient des tolérances différentes. Ce guide s’applique aux alternateurs verticaux selon l'IEC 60034-7. Partout où ce document précise que des documents, des dessins ou des renseignements sont fournis par un fabricant (ou par des fabricants), chaque fabricant fournira les informations appropriées pour leur propre approvisionnement seulement.

Overview

EN IEC 63132-2:2020 - Guidance for installation procedures and tolerances of hydroelectric machines - Part 2: Vertical generators (CLC / CENELEC adoption of IEC 63132-2:2020) provides practical, consensus-based guidance for installing vertical hydroelectric generators. The standard sets out a typical assembly sequence, identifies installation steps and checks, and defines tolerances and measurement points based on industry best practice. It applies to vertical generator types classified by IEC 60034-7 and is intended to be contractually binding only when agreed by both parties.

Key topics

• Installation flowchart and stepwise procedures: a generic assembly flow (≈23 steps) covering foundation checks, lower/upper bracket and stator installation, rotor assembly, bearing and thrust block installation, coupling, alignment and commissioning.
• Alignment and runout checks: procedures for uncoupled and coupled shaft runout, shaft verticality and concentricity, plus referencing Tables for runout and verticality tolerances.
• Geometrical checks: circularity, concentricity, air-gap checks and magnetic centre considerations (figures and tables detail measurement locations).
• Bearing, thrust and guide systems: installation and adjustment guidance for thrust bearings, guide bearings and thrust blocks (note: flowchart assumes thrust bearing below the rotor; adjustments are described for other arrangements).
• Mechanical fit and embedment: guidance on stator and bracket base embedment, foundation checks and embedded parts coordination.
• Electrical components scope: slip (collector) rings, brush-holder structures and brushes are included; brushless excitation systems are explicitly excluded.
• Manufacturer documentation: where the standard calls for manufacturer-supplied drawings or data, each manufacturer supplies information pertaining to their supply only.
• Limitations: excludes purely commercial matters except when directly tied to installation conduct; tolerances are best-practice based and may differ from other standards.

Applications and users

This standard is practical for:

• Hydro project owners and operators planning installation and acceptance tests
• OEMs and generator manufacturers providing installation instructions and tolerances
• Site installation contractors, mechanical fitters and alignment teams
• Commissioning and test engineers performing runout, air-gap and bearing checks
• Civil and structural engineers coordinating foundation and embedded parts

Use cases include on-site assembly sequencing, quality control during installation, contractual specification of tolerances, and commissioning checklists for vertical hydro generators.

Related standards

• IEC 60034-7 (rotating electrical machines - mounting types / IM code) - applicable classification reference
• Other parts of the IEC 63132 series (Parts 1, 3, 4) provide complementary guidance for different machine types or installation aspects and are cross-referenced in the document.

Keywords: EN IEC 63132-2, vertical generator installation, hydroelectric generator tolerances, generator alignment, installation procedures, hydroelectric machines standard.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

4 Preparation
Embedded parts such as piping and foundation plates are covered in the turbine embedded
parts.
5 Installation flowchart
The installation flowchart of this document showed in Figure 1 is mainly based on a vertical
generator having its thrust bearing under the rotor. If the generator has the thrust bearing above
the rotor or supported by the head cover, some corrections to the flowchart will be necessary.

IEC 63132-2:2020  IEC 2020 – 7 –

NOTE 1 This flowchart represents a generator with thrust bearing below the rotor. For generators with thrust bearing
above the rotors, the steps with an asterisk would be totally or partially done between steps 11 and 12 in the flowchart.
NOTE 2 The generator installation is linked to the turbine installation.

6 Steps
6.1 Step 1: Turbine shaft free
See the relevant turbine part of this document.
6.2 Step 2: Generator foundation check
a) Objective of work in the step
– Check the foundations for the upper and/or lower brackets (if applicable) and the stator.
– Check the openings for cables/bars for phase terminals and neutral point.
– Check the embedded water and oil piping.
b) Explanation of work
– Check the foundations for the lower bracket, upper bracket and the stator.
– Check the dimension of the openings.
– Check the position of piping (if secondary stage concreting is used, also check).
– Install the foundation bolts.
– Install the sole plates.
c) Recommendations
The tolerances should be provided by the generator supplier.
– If a one-stage concreting method is used
The location in plan, elevation and/or locations of the foundation plates should be
checked.
– If a two-stage concreting method is used
The location in plan, elevation and/or locations of the foundation bolts, embedded parts
and block-outs should be checked.
d) Additional information
There are two different methods for embedding the sole plates; one-stage concreting or two-
stage concreting method.
Care shall be taken when placing concrete to avoid moving the generator foundations.
If the two-stage concreting method is used, the entire surface of the block-out for the lower
bracket and stator bases should be prepared to ensure proper bonding between secondary
and primary concrete.
There are many different generator configurations. See IEC 60034-7 for a description of the
possibilities. The various configurations may or may not have a lower or an upper bracket.
6.3 Step 3-1: Lower bracket assembly
a) Objective of work in the step
– Assemble the lower bracket.
b) Explanation of work
– Attach the arms to the hub, as per the design (i.e. welding, bolting).
– This task is generally carried out outside of the pit.
c) Recommendations
The tolerances should be provided by the generator supplier, if required.
If the lower bracket is assembled by welding, non-destructive tests (NDT) according to the
inspection and test plan (ITP) may be required.
d) Additional information
The generator supplier should take precautions to limit the distortion by welding in order to
be able to connect to the embedded parts.

IEC 63132-2:2020  IEC 2020 – 9 –
The lower bracket, upper bracket, rotor and stator assemblies are typically the largest
components in a unit and take considerable time (days to months) to assemble. Their
assembly works are often carried out in parallel and can greatly affect the assembly space
requirements and availability. This step is presented to ensure the reader is aware that there
are often challenges to find space and have all parties work effectively together on this issue.
6.4 Step 3: Lower bracket installation
a) Objective of work in the step
– Install the lower bracket in the correct position.
b) Explanation of work
– Place the lower bracket on the sole plates.
– Control the concentricity, elevation and level of the lower bracket.
c) Recommendations
Concentricity, elevation and level should be checked. The tolerances should be provided by
the generator supplier. When determining the correct elevation, the lower bracket deflection
due to the total weight of the rotating parts and the hydraulic thrust acting on the runner
when the unit is at the desired operating condition should be considered.
d) Additional information
Different designs require different tolerances; therefore, it is recommended that the
generator supplier provides the tolerances.
The lower bracket is aligned to the centre of bottom ring. The turbine shaft is typically to be
a relative reference. Other methods that employ benchmarks could also be used to align the
lower bracket.
In some cases, the brakes and jacks are installed in this step instead of Step 7: Brakes and
jacks installation.
6.5 Step 4: Lower bracket bases embedment
a) Objective of work in the step
– Embed the lower bracket bases.
b) Explanation of work
– Grout the through-bolts or the foundation bolts and sole plates.
c) Recommendations
Before embedment, check that any reinforcement will not interfere with the sole plates and
foundation bolts.
d) Additional information
Ensure that the air can escape upwards during grouting. Some designs do not require
second stage concrete.
Depending on the design, it may be possible to embed the lower bracket foundation plates
before installation of the lower bracket.
Care shall be taken when placing concrete to avoid moving the lower bracket bases.
6.6 Step 5-1: Stator assembly
a) Objective of work in the step
– Assemble the stator.
b) Explanation of work
– Assemble the stator frame by bolting or welding.
– Stack the core.
– Install the winding.
– Execute the electrical tests and mechanical measurements.
