GE’s Test and Inspection Program is a set of modular solutions to thoroughly assess the condition of your generator during a major outage. Based on decades of experience across one of the largest installed fleets, our diagnostic experts will provide you with a detailed analysis and recommendations for reliable operation.
Example tests include:
• Generator endwinding vibration testing (Bump Test): Determines if additional support is required for the endwindings.
• Generator stator cooling water flow test (UT Flow): Pinpoints individual bars with rates that are lower than average low flow that can lead to higher stator bar temperature and accelerated ground wall insulation aging and an eventual forced outage. This test is performed during a major outage.
