Introduction View Webinar Here Generator Field Monitoring combines Premium Shaft Ground Monitoring (SGM) and Rotor Flux Monitoring (RFM) systems into one powerful controller. Plant personnel can achieve the benefits of both systems for better trend analysis and easier system management. shaft ground monitoring Monitoring the shaft grounding allows plants to reduce operation expenses, while optimizing … Continued

common oem Problems View the webinar here. Brush Restrictions & Carbon Deposits (Figure 1): Many common failures occur in bound up brushes and restricted brush movement. Restrictions in boxes keep the brush from moving freely and can easily be impaired by the box limitations. Carbon deposits form rough edges on the brush boxes stemming from … Continued

why monitor brushes? View the webinar here. The number one cause of ring fires is short brushes. The main objective of Brush Condition Monitoring (BCM) is to stop forced outages caused by short brushes. The system allows plants to better plan their maintenance schedules. Plants only pull brushes when needed. This enables a safer work … Continued

Is emi magic? View the webinar here. Electro – Magnetic Interference (EMI) Monitoring may seem like a magic trick. However, the system simply detects conditions associated with EM emissions within the Generator, Isophase Bus, and Transformers. Subject matter experts have been extensively gathering data over the last 40 years. Through their research and testing, they … Continued

shaft grounding overview View the webinar here. The objective of shaft grounding is to protect the bearings, and to establish a good electrical connection. Shaft voltage, if left unchecked, can cause failures in the bearing surfaces, stator insulation, exciter insulation, and grounding, leading to catastrophic failures. There are three main grounding techniques: Carbon brushes, which … Continued
