Abstract: A method for repairing solder joint leakages on a connection unit designed to feed cooling water into hollow metallic stator bars of a stator winding of an electrical machine, wherein the connecting device includes a metallic bar-receiving body with a passage opening in which the stator bars are inserted, aligned using metallic spacers and connected fluid-tightly to the bar-receiving body and to the spacers by substance bonding using a solder. The free ends of the stator bars terminate substantially flush with the free ends of the spacers and with an end face of the bar-receiving body. A cup-like metallic cover element surrounds and connects the free ends of the stator bars fluid-tightly to the bar-receiving body by substance bonding so as to form a cooling water chamber. A metallic cooling water line connection is provided on the cover element and connected fluid-tightly to the cooling water chamber.

Abstract: A device and a method for locating partial discharges in a conductor rod of a dynamo-electric machine are provided, the conductor rod being provided with an exterior electrical insulation. A first and a second sensor are embodied so as to detect a signal which is generated by the partial discharge and spreads along the conductor rod. The first and second sensor are disposed at a distance from each other on the conductor rod in order to emit a partial discharge output signal that represents a specific moment of detection. The partial discharge output signals of the first and second sensor are fed to an evaluation unit which is embodied so as to locate the partial discharge on the conductor rod.

Abstract: A device and a method for locating partial discharges in dynamoelectric high-voltage machines and/or high-voltage systems, comprising at least two coupling units (16, 17, 18) which are coupled to mutually spaced measuring points (MP1, MP2, MP3, ES, TS, AKV) of a conductor (2) of the high-voltage machine and/or high-voltage system, and couple out a high-frequency electromagnetic signal produced upon the occurence of partial discharges. The device further comprises an evaluation device which is electrically connected to each coupling unit (16, 17, 18) and records the temporal sequence of the signals coupled out by each coupling unit (16, 17, 18). The place of origin of the partial discharges can be determined from the temporal sequence of the signals, it being possible to enhance the accuracy by additional measurements at further measuring points.
