Comparison of Slot Couplers and RTDs sensors-irect comparison =ae been made apple to apple for $lot 3ouplers and #T- sensorslocated in slots:
- 46 ; top bar A p=ase1 bottom bar 3 p=ase?- +0 ; top bar @ p=ase1 bottom bar A p=ase?- ,' ; top bar 3 p=ase1 bottom bar @ p=ase.
As it can be seen from t=e picture below sensors gie are pretty comparable results.Howeer #T-s more sensitie to - actiity in bottom bar because $lot 3ouplers ares=ielded from t=e bottom bar by t=e top bar.

Conclusions and recommendations
$ignificant - actiity =as been detected wit= bot= slot couplers and #T-sensors. Magnitudes up to *)0 mV and repetition rates (40 pulses per +0 HB cycle=ae been found on $lot 3ouplers. Magnitudes up to 4'0 mV and repetition rates ''0 pulses per +0 HB cycle =ae been obsered wit= #T- sensors. -ominating -
pattern corresponds to p=ase to ground disc=arge and =as distinctie pulse polaritypredominance on negatie =alf wae T=is pattern of - actiity may correspond to aslot disc=arge or to a disc=arge in deteriorated grading layer w=ere stator bars areemerging slots. $lot disc=arge mec=anism is more probable. Measurements wit=significant difference in load and winding temperature can distinguis= t=ose types of- actiity.
Tree measurements wit= #T- sensors =ae been performed wit= connectionsto () #T-s located in different parts of t=e winding. Multiple sensing points along t=estator let obtain more reliable information on stator insulation conditions.
For direct comparison of two types of sensors special test =as been performedwit= connections to t=e $lot 3ouplers and #T-s located in slots 461+01,' at t=e
collector end. Test came up wit= pretty comparable results. Howeer #T-s are moresensitie to - actiity in bottom bars because $lot 3ouplers are s=ielded from t=ebottom bar by t=e top bar.
- actiity and #is of Failure can be classified as MODERATE toELEATED."e would recommend repeating measurements in t=ree mont=s. 5t is preferable toperform measurements wit= different operating conditions > load and temperature. -actiity s=ould be monitored on regular basis."e would recommend installing continuous - monitoring system on t=e generator.
