WEG 2-Pole Turbine Generators Factory Testing


This brochure outlines the comprehensive factory testing program applied to WEG’s 2-pole turbine generators. It details procedures, standards, and optional performance tests that ensure reliability, durability, and compliance with IEEE and Electric Machinery standards.

Key Points

  • All generators fully assembled with bearings and vibration probes before testing
  • Continuous monitoring of vibration, temperature, and pressure through data acquisition systems
  • Core evaluations include insulation resistance, dielectric testing, harmonic analysis, and heat runs
  • Ensures enhanced reliability and compliance with Electric Machinery specifications
  • Tests performed at rated speed and voltage using shop driver and lube oil system
  • Testing standards based on IEEE C50.13 and IEEE 115
  • Optional tests include short-circuit saturation curves, noise tests, and segregated loss measurements
