Generator Retaining Ring Inspection. MD&A generator would like to present proper inspection methods for main leads and retaining rings These methods will include proper inspection when the unit is assembled and disassembled In addition we will dissect different types of failure mechanisms of main leads as well as retaining rings.
Stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in retaining rings of generators has been a major issue since large generator manufactures started to advise generator owners to replace and inspect retaining rings made from certain materials in the mid 1990’s KEMA has been inspecting generator retaining rings with automated systems from the seventies on.
Materials for generator retaining rings: a stateofthe
Rotor retaining rings of high alloy nonmagnetic steel are shrunk on the rotor body to provide radial support of the rotor coil ends against centrifugal forces during rotation The retaining ring material is not affected by stress corrosion To ensure that the retaining rings are sufficiently stiff to remain circular a support ring is shrunk in the outer end of the retaining ring free from.

Guidelines for evaluation of generator retaining rings
The generic guidelines for evaluation of generator retaining ring contain comprehensive information concerning inspection and evaluation of retaining rings The majority of generators currently in service utilize retaining ring material which when exposed to moist environments is susceptible to stress corrosion.
