O&MOld Data, Still-Valid Lessons: What Two EPRI Studies Confirm About Generator Maintenance
A shorted rotor winding doesn’t care what year it is. Neither does a cracked retaining ring or a degraded stator insulation system. The physical mechanisms that take generators offline—fatigue

O&MEddy Current Tube Inspections Efficiently Find Defects
Eddy current testing is a well-established method of nondestructive testing that is used to examine nonferrous/nonmagnetic materials such as condenser and heat exchanger tubes in power generation plants. Eddy current testing reveals discontinuities in tubing, provides plant engineers with an accurate assessment of a unit’s condition, and is a tool for predicting the remaining useful […]
