Cutsforth™ is recognized by power producers around the world as a leading expert in solving one of the most problematic sources of maintenance: brush excitation maintenance.
Customers approached us over a decade ago asking if we could apply that same innovative and quality design expertise to improve shaft grounding.
We responded.
Our latest line of Cutsforth™ Shaft Grounding Hardware offers solutions for all types of turbine generators. Cutsforth™ offers two tiers of Shaft Monitoring Systems to best fit the needs of each plant and unit.
Assurance Shaft Grounding System
Cutsforth’s Assurance Shaft Ground Monitoring System gives you access to the key data about your shaft grounding system. The panel installed near the generator has a display showing the current status, and there are connection points available in the panel for a handheld voltage and current measurement device. Also, the system can be continuously monitored by tying it into software systems, such as your plant’s control system or the Cutsforth InsightCM software.

Go beyond discreet data and collect full waveforms with the Premium Shaft Grounding system. This system utilizes Cutsforth InsightCM to constantly collect and trend voltage and current waveforms. This data alerts you when a problem is developing on the shaft so you can address it BEFORE it causes major damage.
