Page 16 - North American Clean Energy 2020 Wind Buyers Guide

2020 wind buyers guide Mersen Mersen has made advances in the domain of generator slip-ring and carbon brush technology resulting in improved performance and reduced operating costs. The increased demand for additional power output or turbine up-ratings requires a deep technical understanding of the generator’s dynamic behavior and rotor loads in Double Fed Induction turbines. The SR13-15 is an upgrade to one of the most common wind turbine generators in North America. Its robust and enhanced design accommodates high operating loads and boosts up the initial limitations of the turbine. It has proven to run cooler, improve brush life, and increase turbine availability in high winds. www.mersen.com Morgan Advanced Materials Bearing fluting from electrical current is a major cause of costly pitch motor failures. To protect these motors, Morgan offers grounding solutions which are fast and easy to install, even up-tower, and without the removing or disassembly of brakes. By shunting electrical current around the bearings, they maximize protection of this valuable equipment. Morgan designs are light- weight, compact, and can retrofit existing motors. Morgan pitch motor grounding solutions come equipped with a constant force spring resulting in consistent brush pressure and a silver/graph- ite brush for low contact drop insuring this is the path of least resistance for current flow. www.morganelectricalmaterials.com Motion Industries, Inc.
