 Users Feedback

By confirming air gap uniformity was not

cause of protective circuit irregularity,
“AGMS allowed USBR to avoiding 4 to 5 days
of extended downtime.”
“Dynamic information obtained through the use of AGMS,
prior and during recommissioning of the three machines,
was a significant factor in the successful completion of the
Third Powerhouse Stator Replacement Project.”
Gerry Metcalf, Resident Construction Engineer
Grand Coulee Dam / USBR, United States

“I can sleep at night knowing the machines are safely
monitored and that ZOOM is giving us reliable data.”

By revealing a design weakness during commissioning,

“The full monitoring system investment for the entire plant
had already paid for itself before all units had even
been commissioned.”

“AGMS was very useful in detecting rim looseness at

commissioning as well as providing reliable data to COPEL
and manufacturer to discuss a quick solution and avoid a time
consuming procedure.”
“Reduction of 2 to 3 days of commissioning test time
for each unit, and 12 to 14 hours of new tests per unit
after rim correction. Thus, avoiding delay costs of
about US$ 200,000./unit/day” (345 MVA)
