Generatortech is the world’s leading authority on field winding shorted turns detection.
Generatortech, Inc. was founded in 1989 by Mr. Donald R. Albright who developed and refined the techniques for acquiring and analyzing air-gap flux probe data while at General Electric in the early 1970’s.
Legendary expertise
At GE, Mr. Albright recognized that assessing rotors for shorted turns during normal operation was tremendously important for generator owners. Upon retirement, Mr. Albright returned to GE as a consultant to develop GE’s competency to provide and install flux probes and train their technical staff how to analyze the results.
After a few years consulting to GE, Mr. Albright wanted to more agressively market the flux probes. Recognizing that the use of air-gap flux probes was a critical need for the power industry, he formed Generatortech, Inc., dealing exclusively in the use of air-gap flux probes for assessing generator rotor shorted turn conditions.
Since 1989, Generatortech, Inc. has provided air-gap flux probes for over 4,000 generators. We continue to refine and improve the technology, software, and hardware. Throughout the world, the name Generatortech has become synonymous with air-gap flux probes and shorted turn detection.
