Research on fault monitoring system for collector ring and carbon brush of generator rotor

Abstract

The operating status of the generator rotor's collector ring and carbon brush determines the safe and stable operation of the generator. It is critical to promptly detect and handle any abnormalities or faults in the collector ring and carbon brush to prevent accidents from expanding. At present, the status monitoring of the collector ring and carbon brush mainly relies on manual inspection, which has low efficiency and cannot discover faults in real-time. This article studies the establishment of a fault monitoring system for collector ring and carbon brush of the generator rotor. Through real-time collection and analysis of arc light, temperature, and electrical data, abnormalities and faults can be detected and alerted in a timely manner. This system can improve the accuracy and effectiveness of monitoring, and ensures the safe operation of the generator.
