Generator Step Up Transformer

Generator step up gsu transformers gsu transformers are used worldwide to raise voltages coming from power generation plants including thermal nuclear and hydroelectric.

Generator step up transformer.

They are suitable for nuclear thermal and hydraulic applications from small to high voltages with power ratings from 5 mva to 1000 mva. This gsu is the link between the transmission network and the power station. Many of the challenges with the design of generator step up transformers relate to the extremely high currents in the lv windings and the magnetic fields produced by the heavy current connections. Typical configurations require a delta connected lv winding to induced currents in the generator and wye connected hv windings to connect to the transmission lines.

Ge s generator step up gsu transformers are designed and manufactured to stringent standards providing superior performance and long life. Generator step up transformers gsu are the critical link between the power station and the transmission network often operated day and night at full load. Generator step up transformer units are used to increase the voltage of a generator and connect the supply to a bus bar. The generator transformer typically consists of a low voltage winding a high voltage winding and an optional high voltage regulating winding to allow some control of the output voltage level.

Being faced with constantly changing voltage the gsu transformer must maintain the ability to withstand overloads. Generator transformers are also used to limit the fault level of the generator in case of a fault.
