Stator Services

In the event of an unplanned outage, the quickest way to return the generator to service is to repair on site.

Overview

For every aspect of generator maintenance, our service is as thorough and well thought through as our approach.  And we like to think our standard services are anything but standard, as they’re carried out with such precision and expertise.

Services include:

  • Inspections, electrical and mechanical testing
  • Coil replacement
  • Complete rewind
  • EL-CID, loop test and end winding stiffness (“Bump”) testing and analysis
  • Patented end winding vibration services
  • Vibration monitoring
  • Full or partial re-wedge

Key benefits

Reduced equipment downtime
Safeguard against outages

End Winding Vibration Resolution Services (for non-BRUSH generators)

To expand our services, we’ve developed a series of patented retrofit solutions for non-BRUSH generators to end winding vibration that do not require a rewind of the stator.  These options have been developed on a building block approach and we’ve been using them successfully since 1993. 

Vibration Monitoring Systems

Stator winding vibration monitoring systems provide information on both electrically and mechanically inducted vibrations being experienced on the end windings.  Depending on your set up, the systems can be configured to provide information at the generator itself or via continuous monitoring in the control room.

Factory Repair

With a combination of trained engineers, technical equipment and project managers on hand, repairs and overhauls can be carried out quickly and professionally.

Overview

It may not always be possible to carry out repairs on site, owing to space constraints or unsuitable environments. If this is the case, we would transport the equipment to the factory facilities at one of our manufacturing bases.

Our factory-based facilities in the UK, USA and Czech Republic include:

  • Workshops with cleaning facilities and vacuum drying ovens
  • Modern machining and fabrication facilities
  • Coil manufacturing and vacuum pressure impregnation facilities
  • Assembly workshops including large capacity cranage
  • High voltage test facility 3D measuring facilities
  • Decontaminating processes required for handling hazardous materials including asbestos based insulation found in older products
