Wind Turbine Maintenance

The iTIG Winding Analyzer and Surge Tester is sold worldwide to motor repair companies; motor, generator and coil manufacturers and OEMs; and to preventive maintenance and reliability professionals in countless industries including wind power generation.

The surge test, also known as a surge comparison test, is essential for wind farm operators and maintenance technicians who want to predict generator failures using a data-centric approach.  This test can be conducted on generators as well as auxiliary motors such as those used in cooling systems, automated lubrication devices, nacelle yaw motors, and blade pitch motors. 

When performed during a regular maintenance schedule, the surge test gives users trending data so O&Ms can prioritize wind turbine servicing and schedule maintenance rather than risk unplanned downtime.  In some cases, smaller repairs can be made up-tower, therefore deferring, or eliminating the need to extract the generator or other motors. 

It’s as easy as 1-2-3.  iTIG customers enjoy free online technical, and applications support for the life of the tester.  Electrom will upload your entire database of motors or generators, saving operators time and risk of data errors.  Technicians can simply scan the asset tag or motor ID badge and press the red button on the iTIG to initiate a preset automatic test sequence.  Test results are automatically stored and can be uploaded to a network or server for analysis, trending, and reporting.
