Generator Overhaul

Integrated mechanical and electrical overhaul services covering generator rotor, stator, bearings, insulation systems, excitation-related components, inspection, testing and return to service.

Supporting turbine-generator units across power generation and industrial facilities in Indonesia.

Mechanical + Electrical

One Generator. Two Critical Dimensions.

A generator overhaul requires both mechanical precision and electrical condition assessment. Rotor, stator, bearings, clearances, insulation and excitation-related components must be evaluated as one integrated system.
