When an East Coast power generation facility faced recurring generator issues and unplanned outages, they turned to Cutsforth’s Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Monitoring for answers (https://www.cutsforth.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Cutsforth-and-EMI-Monitoring-Case-Study.pdf).

✅ The Challenge:
Periodic EMI inspections weren’t enough to catch early warning signs of electrical defects. Weather-related events were causing spikes that could lead to catastrophic failures.

✅ The Solution:
Cutsforth installed a permanent EMI monitoring system, which can be integrated with InsightCM™, enabling continuous detection of:
Arcing
Coronal Discharges
Gap Discharges
Partial Discharges

✅ The Results:
Detected anomalies during snowstorms that ad hoc inspections missed
Identified moisture damage on 13 insulators—preventing a forced outage
improved reliability, reduced downtime, and optimized maintenance budgets

Innovation in action: EMI monitoring empowers plant teams to make data-driven decisions, ensuring asset health and operational efficiency.
