Wednesday, Apr 22, 2026
9:00 AM EDT (13:00 GMT)
Wind turbine generators are subject to electrical bearing damage, just like ordinary electric motors. In this webinar, our wind power expert Jens Leipner will talk about the best ways to avoid expensive bearing failure and downtime.
The contents of the webinar include:
- Bearing frosting, fluting, & failure.
- The risk of VFD-sourced shaft voltages, bearing current, and electrical bearing damage.
- Detection of motor shaft voltages.
- Shaft Grounding Best Practices for bearing protection of AC & DC motors.
