Generator Service
BRTS® offers extensive experience on a comprehensive range of tests and inspections of turbine generators and related equipment. With combined experience that encompasses all major OEM models, we are well equipped to test, diagnose, and assess the condition of your turbine generator, whether it is on-site in the field or at our facility.
Field Testing & Inspection
The goal of our team is to compile the results and propose recommendations from a series of methodical and standards tests that help you make data-driven decisions about the necessity and priority of repairs, which can be used when planning and scheduling for outages and generator repairs. It will also help you evaluate the condition of your equipment in order to determine if replacement or upgrades are necessary.
Some of our generator testing and inspection services include:
RTD resistance testing with temperature conversion
Insulation resistance/Megger with Polarization Index (P.I.)
Impedance testing of the field
Copper resistance with temperature conversion to factory test temperature
Copper resistance of stator 3 phases converted to factory test temperature
Megger of stator 3 phases with P.I. as per IEEE Std 43
Visual inspection of all accessible areas
IR/Thermal Imaging
Pressure/Vacuum Testing
El Cid Testing
AC/DC Leakage and Hi-Pot Testing
Capacitance Mapping
Repetitive Surge Oscilloscope (RSO) Testing
Bearing journal inspection for surface and dimensional properties
Inspection and testing of generator excitor; bearing sleeves and oil seals
Inspection of cage, laminations, stator core, bus bar, terminals and interior surfaces
