An intercoupled stator core is separated from a non-vertically oriented (including horizontal) generator frame by decoupling the stator core and frame coupling members and interposing a slidable member between them. Thereafter they are separated relative to each other on the sliding member. The sliding or slidable member may comprise a rail, or alternatively a roller adapted for rolling contact with one of the opposed stator core or generator structures and an engagement surface in contact with the other structure. A system for separating the stator core from a non-vertically oriented generator frame includes first and second raising end plates adapted coupled to axial ends of the stator core. The end plates project outwardly from the generator frame ends, for coupling to a raise mechanism. After the raise mechanism raises the stator core the slidable member is interposed between the stator core and generator frame.
A method for separating an intercoupled stator core from a non-vertically oriented generator frame, comprising:
An apparatus for separating a stator core having a first coupling member relative to a non-vertically oriented generator frame having a second coupling member in engagement with the first coupling member, comprising a slidable member adapted for interposition between disengaged stator core and generator frame, the slidable member enabling relative sliding motion between the stator core and generator frame.
A system for separating a stator core having axial ends and a first coupling member relative to a non-vertically oriented generator frame having axial ends and a second coupling member in engagement with the first coupling member, comprising:
