Cutsforth’s success in developing powerful condition-based monitoring systems is built upon our 30-plus years’ experience repairing generators and developing replacement exciter brushes. Our innovations in carbon brush holders and shaft grounding systems have been used in more than 5,000 power-generation units, increasing the longevity of rotating equipment for more reliable performance and reduced maintenance costs.
Our EASYchange carbon brush holders resolve the challenges of changing brushes on generators under load. Our removable brush holders lower maintenance costs and limit the risk of ring fires and forced outages for greater safety, improved generator reliability, and extended lifespans for collector rings.
Cutsforth offers shaft ground monitoring to measure voltage, current, and rope condition, and enable the safe replacement of grounding ropes without causing system downtime. Integrating shaft ground monitoring with InsightCM™ enables continuous monitoring to detect problems before any major damage occurs.
The value of our generator retrofit hardware his backed by its use in thousands of power-generation units, saving customers millions of dollars in unnecessary repairs and operational downtime. For most generators, our retrofits are completed in 1–2 days, replacing OEM and aftermarket brush holders with minimal modifications to existing rigging. Cutsforth’s EASYchange removable brush holders also integrate directly with our EASYchange brush condition monitoring for enhanced performance and data collection, optimizing generator performance.
Generator Retrofit Hardware refers to replacement and upgrade components designed to improve the reliability, safety, and performance of existing generator systems. Retrofit hardware solutions allow facilities to modernize aging equipment without the cost and disruption associated with complete generator replacement.
These upgrades may include brush holders, collector systems, grounding components, mounting assemblies, and other generator support hardware designed to enhance operational efficiency and reduce maintenance challenges. Retrofit projects are commonly used to address obsolete components, recurring maintenance issues, and evolving reliability requirements.
