Calculation of Capacitive-Based Sensors of Rotating Shaft Vibration for Fault Diagnostic Systems of Powerful Generators.

This paper presents the results of research and development of capacitive-based sensors of rotating shaft vibration for fault diagnostic systems of powerful turbines and hydro generators. It showed that diagnostic systems with special sensors are the key to increasing the reliability of powerful turbines and hydro generators. The application of sensors in monitoring systems was considered, and the requirements for the sensors used were analyzed.
