An air gap is the distance between the rotor and stator of a large-scale hydroelectric generator. This gap is a very small distance in relation to the size of the rotor. Its measurement to tight ...

Traditionally, most of the small hydro electricity generators are designed with “drop” type. If there is a need for a man-made gap, it will require the corresponding civil building. To improve the ...
