Product Detail
A turbo generator is an electric generator connected to the shaft of a steam turbine or gas turbine for the generation of electric power.Large steam-powered turbo generators provide the majority of the world's electricity and are also used by steam-powered turbo-electric ships.The normal speed of a turbo generator is 1500 or 3000 rpm with four or two poles at 50 Hz (1800 or 3600 rpm with four or two poles at 60 Hz). The rotating parts of a turbo generator are subjected to high mechanical stresses because of the high operation speed. To make the rotor mechanically resistant in large turbo-alternators, the rotor is normally forged from solid steel and alloys like chromium-nickel-steel or chromium-nickel-molybdenum are used.
