Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for monitoring the operating conditions of an electric generator by producing a signal representative of vibration amplitude in end turns of stator windings of the generator; producing a signal representative of an electrical load under which said generator is operating; comparing the vibration and load signals to store reference data representative of normal or abnormal operating conditions; and producing an output signal based on a comparison of the vibration and load signals with the stored reference data. The output signal is representative of the operational status of the generator.
