Service scope

Electrical and controls expertise for generator reliability

We investigate generator voltage and excitation problems by testing the electrical system around the alternator, AVR, sensing circuits, controls and protection equipment.

Our specialist scope: generator electrical systems, controls, protection, wiring, switchgear interfaces, communications and SCADA. Where a fault is mechanical, fuel-system or engine-internal, we can identify the control-system evidence and coordinate the electrical interface with the appropriate mechanical specialist.

What we can do

AVR supply, sensing and output checks
Excitation circuit and field wiring inspection
Voltage instability and regulation fault investigation
Protection relay and controller sensing checks
Electrical test results and repair recommendations

What you receive

Separation of control, excitation and alternator faults
Evidence for repair or specialist rewind decisions
Verified voltage sensing and regulation after repair
Reduced risk of replacing the wrong component

Useful information for your enquiry

Frequently asked questions

Planning your service

What should I provide before a service visit?

Send the site location, generator rating, controller or AVR model, fault codes, photos and a description of the required operating outcome.

Is this service limited to emergency generators?

No. The electrical and controls scope can apply to standby, prime-power and parallel diesel generator installations, subject to equipment and site requirements.
