Rotating electrical machines - Part 3: Specific requirements for synchronous generators driven by steam turbines or combustion gas turbines (First revision) (IEC 60034-3:2007, IDT)
This Malaysian Standard applies to three-phase synchronous generators, having rated outputs of 10 MVA and above driven by steam turbines or combustion gas turbines. It supplements the basic requirements for rotating machines given in MS IEC 60034-1.
Common requirements are prescribed together with specific requirements for air, for hydrogen or for liquid cooled synchronous generators.
This part of Malaysian Standard also gives the precautions to be taken when using hydrogen cooled generators including:
–- rotating exciters driven by synchronous generators;
- auxiliary equipment needed for operating the generators;
–- parts of the building where hydrogen might accumulate.
