Project Overview
A major industrial operator of an electrical services workshop specialising in AC/DC motor rewinds, generator overhauls, HV coil production, and testing services required a dedicated generator to provide controlled, high-capacity power for their internal test benches and diagnostic equipment. Their existing infrastructure needed to be replaced by something with the capacity and stability required to deliver consistent, high-load power for testing refurbished motors and generators.
