1. Method for testing the tightness of an electric machine stator core, wherein the electric machine comprises a stator core formed of iron sheets and a rotor defining an air gap therebetween, the method comprising:
- introducing a test instrument connected to a support into the air gap, the test instrument including a plate, the support including a guide circumferentially connected to an outer face of the rotor core of the electric machine, and fixed in a longitudinal axial direction of the rotor core, and a cart being movable along the guide to reach circumferential positions of the stator core, the cart including a longitudinally extendable arm projecting along the longitudinal axis of the rotor core perpendicular to the guide, the test instrument being arranged on a terminal end of the arm distal to the cart;
locally placing the test instrument in a zone of the stator core; and
locally testing defined zones of the stator core by rotating the plate arranged on the arm about an axis defined within the plate between an insertion position and a testing position, from which the plate is introduced between the stator core iron sheets.

Abstract
A method is provided for testing the tightness of an electric machine stator core includes: introducing a test instrument that is connected to a movable support into an air gap between a stator core and a rotor, locally placing the test instrument and locally testing defined zones of the generator stator core. A device for carrying out the method is also provided.

4. Device, for testing the tightness of a stator core, formed of iron sheets, of an electric machine, comprising:
-
a support, insertable in an air gap between an electric generator stator core and a rotor, the support including a guide circumferentially connected to an outer face of the rotor core of the electric machine, and fixed in a longitudinal axial direction of the rotor core and a cart movable along the guide to reach circumferential positions of the stator core; a test instrument carried by the cart, the test instrument being locally positionable to locally test defined zones of the generator stator core wherein the cart is connected to a longitudinally extendable arm that carries the test instrument, the arm projecting along the longitudinal axis of the rotor core perpendicular to the guide and the test instrument being arranged on a terminal end of the arm distal to the cart; and a plate arranged on the arm and configured to be rotatable about an axis defined within the plate, between an insertion position and a testing position, the plate configured to be introduced between the stator core iron sheets. - View Dependent Claims (5, 6)
