News from Westin Drives

Here you can see the ABB 68kW induction generator from a wind turbine we recently repaired.

The generator was sent in for a mechanical service – the rotor was balanced to G2.5, new SKF bearings and seals were fitted, and the windings were thoroughly tested.

We also found that the NDE bearing housing had worn slightly due to bearing creep in the housing, because of this we repaired the housing back to the correct tolerance.

The generator is now ready to be put back into service.
