Turbine Generators 4-Pole Synchronous Generators
KATO generators operate
efficiently, reliably and can be designed your way. High efficiency = lower operating costs Core losses, friction and windage account for efficiency losses in alternators. Kato Engineering uses a high-grade magnetic steel with optimum design to minimize hysteresis and eddy currents losses in the core. An experienced engineering staff, using the latest analysis tools, ensures that losses due to friction and windage are kept at a low level. All of this increases efficiency to lower turbine genset operating costs and increase package return. High reliability = lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime Both mechanically and electrically, Kato Engineering alternators are designed for long, trouble-free use. Reducing vibration is a key way to lessen part wear, increasing generator reliability. Kato machines use extremely stiff construction and sleeve bearings to meet low vibration requirements. Sophisticated test equipment and state-of-the industry seismic test bases verify low vibration requirements are met or exceeded. Sleeve bearings along with a circulating oil system also boost reliability and ease of maintenance. Preventing winding failure is vital to a long generator life. Kato Engineerings insulation system is second to none. Mica turn-taped magnet wire in Kato generators provides nearly twice the instantaneous surge capacity as glass-covered magnet wire to prevent shorted or grounded windings. A global vacuum-pressure epoxy system also protects against premature winding failure
caused by harsh environments. Kato Engineering has
dedicated engineers and testing to ensure the highest quality of its winding and insulation system.
