Part 6: Vertical Pelton turbines

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC Publication(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

GUIDANCE FOR INSTALLATION PROCEDURES AND
TOLERANCES OF HYDROELECTRIC MACHINES –

Part 6: Vertical Pelton turbines

1 Scope
The purpose of this document is to establish, in a general way, suitable procedures and
tolerances for the installation of Pelton vertical turbines. This document presents a typical
assembly and whenever the word "turbine" is used in this document, it refers to a vertical Pelton
turbine. There are many possible ways to assemble a unit. The size of the machine, the design
of the machine, the layout of the powerhouse or the delivery schedule of the components are
some of the elements that could result in additional steps, or the elimination of some steps
and/or assembly sequences.
It is understood that a publication of this type will be binding only if, and to the extent that, both
contracting parties have agreed upon it.
The document excludes matters of purely commercial interest, except those inextricably bound
up with the conduct of installation.
The tolerances in this document have been established upon best practices and experience,
although it is recognized that other standards are specifying different tolerances.
Wherever the document specifies that documents, drawings or information are supplied by a
manufacturer (or by manufacturers), each individual manufacturer will furnish the appropriate
information for their own supply only.

5 Steps
5.1 Turbine embedded parts
5.1.1 Step 1: Benchmarks set-up
a) Objective of work in the step
– Set-up benchmarks to be used for starting proper installation of the turbine and
generator.
b) Explanation of work
– Sufficient benchmarks should be provided to establish the unit centreline, axis and
elevation.
c) Recommendations
N/A
d) Additional information
Depending on the project delivery system (EPC, design build, etc.), the benchmarks or their
reference points could be provided by the owner, civil contractor, etc. Whoever provides
the benchmarks or reference points is responsible to make sure they are correct.
The benchmark type (x, y, z coordinates, defining axis and elevations, etc.) should be
agreed to prior to the work commencing.
The turbine supplier should take care of transferring the necessary benchmarks throughout
the erection and/or concreting processes so that the benchmarks remain accessible as the
unit is assembled.
5.1.2 Step 2: Installation of turbine housing foundations and embedded pipes
a) Objective of work in the step
– Install primary embedded pipes and turbine housing foundations in the correct locations.
b) Explanation of work
– Install the primary embedded pipes and supporting systems.
– Install the foundation components for turbine housing and rail system for turbine parts
transportation etc.
c) Recommendations
Different designs require different tolerances; therefore, the turbine supplier should provide
the tolerances. It is considered as a best practice to perform:
– NDT as applicable (i.e. visual inspections, pressure tests of the piping, test of welding
seams);
– measures to prevent the concrete from entering the pipes or contaminating the machined
surfaces of foundations during concreting.
d) Additional information
The contract should define which party is responsible to install the primary embedded pipes
and/or the foundation components.
Depending on the design, the rail system for turbine parts transportation may not require
foundation components.
Depending on the size of unit, a support column for platform might be installed in the water
passage below the turbine housing.
