The forced double-frequency resonance of a large hydro-generator unit is studied. The
resonance is composed of torsional resonance of whole rotor system and 100 Hz resonance excited by
inverted-sequence electricity under short-circle between two phases. By applying energy method,
the torsional resonance equations of the rotor system are derived. The study results show that
compared with the vibrating amplitudes of single-resonance, double-frequency resonance is much
larger, the resonance area gets wider and dynamic shear stresses increase greatly.
