1.Generator stator and rotor winding resistance Both generator stator and rotor winding resistances are very small, Their values are less than 1 ohm usually. Winding resistor rarely goes down with time. In cases where resistance goes down, it maybe the winding turns is shorted. 2.Generator stator and rotor winding resistance measured
2.Generator stator and rotor winding resistance measured 2.1Kelvin double bridge Traditionally, a Kelvin bridge is used to measure generator stator and rotor winding resistance. For resistors of less than an ohm, the resistance of the connecting wires or terminals becomes significant.
It is possible to measure motors' and generators' winding resistance in all phases at the same time. This is achieved by using three voltage sense channels and it is possible when all connection points of stator windings are accessible. Figure 4 illustrates how to connect the instrument to the machine for simultaneous resistance measurement.
