Abstract Abstract.This paper aims at the high efficiency of field balancing for turbo-generator with large capacity currently, and introduces the strategies and key techniques of the rotor system balancing with practical cases of power plant in field. The acquisition, analysis and former processing of the original vibration data for balance calculation are included. Furthermore, they involve complete measuring points and conditions, accurate judgment for the types of unbalance exciting force and selection of stable vibration data, all these could reduce the blindness of balancing effectively. The strategies and techniques also contain the determination for axial plane of unbalance by the modal method, then the optimal steps and the plane of adding weight are chosen during the implementation of balancing. Besides, this paper also introduces the analysis and selection of influence coefficients and the phase of trial weight, these can help determine the final correction weight accurately in order to guarantee the balancing process prompt and efficient. Meanwhile, the restriction of practical location for adding weight and construction period of maintenance and production for the units should be considered during the high efficiency balancing in field. These strategies and techniques of high efficiency balancing have practical application value in promoting the technology of field balancing for turbo- generator units with large capacity.
