For a study on a generator running under different negative-sequence currents, a simulation model for various field distributions was developed for a 1266-MW half-speed steam turbine generator used for nuclear power generation. Following prescriptions from time-step finite-element electromagnetic theory, a two-dimensional finite-element mathematical model is established. In numerical simulations of the generator at its rated running state, with 1%IN through 5%IN negative-sequence current, magnetic field distributions were calculated of the inside of the generator. Based on comparisons and analysis of these magnetic fields, the influence of the negative-sequence component of the magnetic field distribution was investigated. Additionally, the underlying mechanism by which the negative-sequence component affects the electromagnetic torque was uncovered in an application of the laws governing generator electromagnetic torque ripple. This could aid designing an operation and protection scheme for the generator.
