With rapid technological advancements, spare parts tend to become obsolete at some point. To help reduce the impact of obsolescence on your equipment and to enable you to plan ahead, GE proactively works with suppliers to identify upcoming obsolescence at an early stage. We support you with obsolescence studies specific to your equipment. We also offer last time buy of parts when possible to help you stock up on parts that are nearing end of life or will no longer be manufactured.

If you would like to request for an obsolescence study, please contact us

The insurance spare parts package is usually tailored to your equipment and operational process. It will cover your risks against failures that do not occur frequently over the lifecycle of your equipment. This package is similar to an "insurance policy" and will significantly reduce risk of production losses and downtime in case of a failure event. It is particularly key for operations that needs to run 24/7. The insurance spare parts package is characterized by:

  • High operational impact if not available,
  • Long replacement lead time,
  • Unpredictable time of demand

Recommended spare parts list (RSPL) is a comprehensive list of spare parts needed to perform most equipment repairs and maintenance activities. Our RSPL includes replacement parts for wear and tear items, as well as a cost-efficient combination of commissioning spares, operational spares, and insurance spares. This recommendation of spare parts can be made by our best experts understanding your operational needs, critical components and working with you on the adequate risk analysis.

This spare package contains all required spare parts for your product or system, in order to perform minor or major maintenance inspections recommended by GE Electrification as the OEM. These maintenance are required to ensure availability, avoid repair measures and reduce unplanned outages related to equipment failures.

If you are interested in any of the above packages, please contact us.

Preventive Maintenance

Preventive Maintenance of your drives

OEM recommended maintenance practices for optimum operation

Preventive Maintenance

Systematic regular maintenance of drives helps ensure efficient operation and reduces the risk of failures. GE offers structured inspections and planned maintenance programs tailored to the operating environment of the drives. GE offers two types of preventive maintenance programs:

  • Preventive “Performance” Maintenance (annual/ periodical), including basic visual inspections and performance checks of drives.
  • Preventive “Major” Maintenance (once every 5 years), including advanced visual inspections and performance checks of drives and systematic replacement of parts.

The outcomes from preventive maintenance help you establish a baseline for future maintenance activities, increase plant availability, improve uptime and parts availability.

Benefits

  • Assessment of present condition of drives
  • Reduced risk of unplanned outages

  • Perform & record preventive actions according to a prescribed schedule of checks/tests to the drives,
  • Identify operational and safety critical issues,
  • Provide recommendations on:
    • Critical spare parts that you should consider holding;
    • Replacements for obsolete components;
    • Upgrade packages appropriate to your drive;
    • New features that help improve performance and availability of your installed base

Rotating machines stator rewinds in situ

Resin rich coil rewinds onsite

Electrical rotating machines are the heart of your critical processes and any failure of the stator winding will lead to unplanned downtime and significantly impact your operations.

Electrical rotating machines are the heart of your critical processes and any failure of the stator winding will lead to unplanned downtime and significantly impact your operations.

High quality epoxy resin insulation is applied and consolidated during the Coil manufacturing process, making the coil robust and impervious to moisture and dirt. The individual coils and the fully assembled winding are fully tested, thus guaranteeing the individual dielectric integrity of each coil. The resin rich coils are more reliable than VPI (Vacuum Pressure Impregnated) and are tested at high voltage to meet or exceed all GE and IEEE standards for quality.

GE engineering team will perform a preliminary study of the existing winding, assessing the characteristics of the rewound unit, to fit the new parameters safely within operation ranges, in any suitable system, providing evidence of the expected outcome after the winding modification, for your approval.

GE’s VPI Stator to Resin Rich Coil replacement is also offered as a pre-engineered solution to allow easy rewind of the stator inside any constrained location. This will reduce various logistic and operational challenges, such as disassembly, removal, reassembly and transportation of the bulky VPI rotating machine to and from the repair yard. Avoiding the various challenges effectively translates into huge savings in both cost and time. The VPI Stator to Resin Rich Rewind is suitable for all Rotating Machines with frame size 630 and above. GE’s global services teams are fully equipped and experienced in undertaking the rewind inside most industrial environments, helping minimize the turnaround time and other associated challenges.

Available options

  • Coil sets can be pre-engineered to support a future rewind outage
  • Coil sets can be pre-manufactured for customer storage until a unit rewind is required
  • GE will provide full engineering and installation services

Benefits

  • Repair downtime will typically be reduced by over 2 months with an existing winding set onsite, compared to an in-shop rewind and for over 4 months compared to manufacturing a new stator. Without coils present onsite or pre-engineered, downtime will still be typically cut in half over best case in-shop repair scenarios
  • OEM warranty

But what if you want more? Our continuous technological improvements can surpass expectations of your former asset, by partial or total upgrades and replacements. GE can go beyond your expectations by proposing an engineered solution that will update your unit with the latest technology and design enhancements, while maintaining key interfaces. Together we can explore the replacement of one or more assemblies or components of your rotating machine to restore or enhance its working parameters. We can get you more out of your unit and help you recover the investment of renewing your equipment in a shorter cycle.

We will work with you to assess your business imperatives and the best value added we can provide to your system by improving the characteristics of your existing asset. We will analyze how to best integrate such replacement in your working calendar, minimizing downtime and costs associated, well away of the impact of a sudden forced outage due to unplanned events associated to unit aging.

For processes critical to your business, needing full backup to ensure minimum downtime, we can offer you full spare units, 100% compatible with your input & output needs and interference. We can provide you with storage services and readiness to serve vigilance services for those units that are out of service, design such replacements to allow interchangeability within your fleet and support installation and commissioning of such spare units on unplanned events.

We will provide all these services for GE and non-GE rotating machines alike.

Our new designs can offer higher output, higher efficiency and lower losses than older equipment had. Find below an overview of other typical improvements we might offer you:

By utilizing the latest technology in rotor replacement, we can aim for higher efficiency, higher active or reactive power rating or different starting requirements. Technology advances over the years have resulted in rotor designs to improve its reliability and longevity. Rotor replacement is a more straightforward option. Using Electrification’s proven technology, replacement of a rotor can be completed quickly at a planned outage. The bearings can also be renewed or upgraded at that time.

Stators influence highly on overall performance of the rotating machines. The stator and rotor replacements can be combined for added benefits like revised output power, higher efficiency or both. Stator technology enhancements include new insulation systems and cooling, all of which will improve your unit performance, over legacy designs. Electrification can provide a turn-key stator rewind or a complete stator assembly, to fit your refurbishment or upgrade needs and thus accelerate your return on investment. Onsite stator rewind is also an option.
