Expand your gas generator's life, capacity, availability, and reliability with a rotor rewind

  • Advanced end-winding blocking supports, advanced insulation materials, and patented copper-finned ventilation ducts provide better support and cool the generator unit.
  • Advanced dovetail and generator rotor end-slot modifications can prevent crack propagation and improve cyclic duty durability.

Benefits of high speed balancing

  • Shortened turns are usually detected by increased bearing vibration levels in operation. This is due to the pressure on the turn to turn insulation generated by the centrifugal force.
  • A final flux test reading during High Speed Balance at a GE repair shop will reproduce this operational condition to help ensure that the rotor is free from shorted turns before being installed back in the generator.
