Generators Overview

WEG offers complete solutions for generation and distribution of energy by supplying internationally recognized quality and state-of-the-art products. Among all WEG products are the Hydrogenerators and Turbogenerators, which are widely used by Power and Utility Companies for their high efficiency and durability.

WEG Electric Machinery’s (WEM) brushless excitation system consists of a high frequency AC generator (armature & field) and rotating rectifier bridge. WEM’s brushless excitation system provides high reliability through elimination of brushes, collector rings and carbon dust, which in turn greatly reduces inspection and maintenance costs. Rotating rectifier redundancy with detection of diode failure which in operation allows for more convenient maintenance intervals. WEM is the industry leader in brushless excitation for 2 pole turbine generators with over 500 units installed. WEM brushless exciters are used by generator manufacturers worldwide to meet brushless requirements.

WEM synchronous generators provide reliable and high quality power. They are designed to be driven by reciprocating engines, steam and gas turbines, hydro turbines, or various gas expanders. Special electrical performance characteristics, mounting, and shaft arrangements can be provided to suit various different applications.

WEM two-pole turbo generators provide high quality and reliability along with low maintenance and long life. They are designed to be used with a wide variety of steam and gas turbine drives. Accessories and features can be provided to meet demanding customer specifications.
