Mersen
Mersen has made advances in the domain of generator slip-ring and carbon brush technology resulting in improved perfor- mance 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 accommo- dates 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/graphite brush for low contact drop insuring this is the path of least resistance for current flow.
