Abstract: A method and testing device for the non-destructive testing of at least partial regions of an insulation of a stator winding of an electric machine, in particular a generator of a high-voltage motor, wherein the non-destructive testing is carried out in situ at the installation site of the electric machine using terahertz measurement technology.

Abstract: A method for the non-destructive detecting of ageing symptoms of a component having regularly recurring structures, includes the following steps: a) scanning the component in the region of the recurring structures in a plurality of scanning planes which extend parallel to one another to create at least one scanning image set having a plurality of two-dimensional scanning images, wherein the scanning images show a plurality of inhomogeneities; b) automatically identifying those inhomogeneities that form recurring patterns, and those inhomogeneities that do not follow a recurring pattern, using a suitable algorithm; and c) detecting ageing symptoms exclusively on the basis of those inhomogeneities which are identified in step b) and do not follow a recurring pattern.

Abstract: A water chamber cover for connecting a water hose to a water chamber bottom plate of a directly water-cooled stator bar, having a peripheral groove, which is open on a side facing away from the water chamber and which is designed to hold the water hose. A method is for assembling a cooling water circuit for a directly water-cooled stator bar.

Abstract: A method and a device are provided for the thermomechanical treatment of seamless steel rings produced on radial-axial ring rolling machines, particularly rings of fine grain steel, heat-treatable steel, case hardened steel, or austenitic steel, preferably of steel tower flanges for wind turbine generators. The ring blank is inserted into the ring rolling machine at a temperature in the range of 900° C. to 1150° C. and is rolled to an outer diameter preferably in the range of 0.2 m to 10 m by a hot forming process. The hot ring (1) is quickly cooled down by a controlled process directly following the rolling, without secondary heating, from a temperature over the conversion temperature in the austenite range to a temperature below 400° C. The device includes a dipping basin filled with cooling liquid (8) or an unfilled cooling container, and a carrier (5) that can be lowered with a hoisting device (4), the rolled ring (1) lying on the carrier.
