A power slip ring system with its power brushes, earthing brushes and brush holders makes up just 0.2% of the overall turbine capital cost – yet they are critical to the to the safe and effective running of the generator and gearbox .


help them understand the relationship between small sub-components like the slip rings and their brushes. Materials experts behind those sub-components should assist the industry fully to achieve better and better results.


GREATER AWARENESS


Proper product support round the world, training and education will give maintenance teams a greater awareness. It will allow them to ensure correct fitment, identify tell-tale signs of failing components and avoid unnecessary waste by changing-out components during routine maintenance when it is not necessary – particularly an issue in the off- shore environment – and give them the confidence to extend the life of sub-components.


UNDERSTANDING


By correctly understanding the issues surrounding these small sub-components (specification and fitment), it may be possible to significantly reduce the failures of the larger, more expensive items of the turbine.


It is vital that the market is presented with robust and innovative sub-components that don’t fail; O&M engineers should have access to important technical advice to


EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS The extreme diverse environments that the turbines have to operate in also cause extreme stress on components that generate the power but with the global footprint, PHD material scientists and application engineering know how Morgan AM&T provide optimum brush grades for all environments as well as knowledge to assist in solving some of the O&M issues.


They are a globally recognised materials technology business with unparalleled expertise in the processing and applications of carbon, graphite, silicon carbide, oxide ceramics and other related materials.


PRODUCTS


The products they offer into the electrical market are carbon brushes, carbon brush holders, slip rings, diagnostics for motors and generators which have been developed working closely with their customers and supported by their global design centres, test laboratories , material scientists and application engineers.
