Thirty Years of Pattern Recognition across every Major Failure Mechanism
Across 286 generating units on five continents, essentially every category of generator failure has come through Generex's case file. The advantage of pattern recognition built over thirty years is that the next failure rarely looks like a first encounter — it looks like one of a known set of mechanisms with known signatures.
Failure Mechanisms Investigated
Rotor thermal sensitivity. Shorted rotor turns. Mechanical imbalance. Loose stator core and belly band resonance. Winding insulation degradation. Mica insulation abrasion. Hydrogen cooler leaks. Collector ring contamination. Diode wheel failures. Field ground events. Excitation control failures.

Chemical Signatures in Forensic Samples
Silicates indicate abraded mica insulation. Iron oxide flags loose stator core. Lead carbonate indicates hydrogen cooler leaks. Greasing on stator components signals loose blocking and tie failures. Each signature corresponds to a specific, well-understood mechanism.
