PERM

Generator rotor end rings are amongst the most highly stressed and safety critical components in power stations. End ring inspection has traditionally been difficult and has required the removal of the rotor from its stator and then the ring from the rotor. Operators using the PERM systems have reported savings of as much as €200,000 in a single inspection.

The Phoenix manipulator (PERM) enables operators to scan 100 per cent of the rings, including the tapers, with all the components in place. As well as reduced risk of damage, this results in significant cost savings and down time.

Phoenix has over two decades of experience in producing systems of this type and the PERM is used by major operators in power stations throughout the world.
