Rotor Flux Monitoring FAQ

What are shorted turns that Rotor Flux Monitoring detects?

Failure of insulation between windings in a generator.

Does Cutsforth™ manufacture and install flux probes?

Cutsforth™ does not manufacture or sell probes. However, our Rotor Flux Monitoring system is agnostic to probes within the industry.

On which flux probes can Rotor Flux Monitoring be installed?

Any probe that is analog, providing +/- 10 volts inputs.

What are the benefits of continual monitoring over 3rd third-party annual monitoring?

Third- party vendors visiting plants on an annual basis are expensive, and only capture a miniscule snapshot of the generator’s health. However, continuous RFM Monitoring is a one-time purchase. The system collects data and creates waveforms from thousands of frequencies, allowing plants to measure and archive data over time to form a more comprehensive view of your generator’s health. This option allows plants and companies ownership of their data without having to pay to access it.

How do I interpret the data once I have it?

Cutsforth™ offers access to Subject Matter Experts to assist in reading and analyzing data.

Do I need an outage in order to install the Cutsforth™ Rotor Flux Monitoring system?

No, RFM Monitoring is a non- – invasive installation process requiring NO outages.
