Installation and Daily Maintenance of Hydro Generator

1. What are the six types of correction and adjustment items in machine installation? How to understand the allowable deviation of electromechanical equipment installation?
Answer: item: 1) flat, horizontal and vertical plane. 2) The roundness, center position and center degree of the cylindrical surface itself. 3) Smooth, horizontal, vertical and central position of the shaft. 4) The orientation of the part on the horizontal plane. 5) Elevation (elevation) of parts. 6) clearance between faces, etc.
To determine the allowable deviation of electromechanical equipment installation, the reliability of unit operation and the simplicity of installation must be considered. If the allowable deviation of installation is too small, the correction and adjustment work will be complex and the correction and adjustment time will be prolonged; If the allowable installation deviation is too large, it will reduce the installation accuracy and operation safety and reliability of the calibration unit, and directly affect the normal power generation.

2. Why can the error of square level itself be eliminated by turning around measurement?
Answer: suppose that one end of the level is a and the other end is B, and its own error causes the bubble to move to the a end (on the left) by M. when measuring the level of components with this level, its own error causes the bubble to move to the a end (on the left) by M. after turning around, its own error causes the bubble to still move to the a end (on the right at this time) by the same number of cells, in the opposite direction, which is – m, and then use the formula δ= During the calculation of (a1 + A2) / 2 * c * D, the number of cells moved by the bubble due to its own error cancels each other, which has no impact on the number of cells moved by the bubble due to the uneven level of the parts, so the impact of the error of the instrument on the measurement is eliminated.
