Quartzelec Maintenance and Service for Motors and Generators up to 600MW

When a US-based engineering solutions provider needed urgent support to help in the rotor refurbishment of a pair of large hydro-generators at a pumped-storage underground power station, it turned to TS Metals, part of the Quartzelec group of companies, to engineer, laser profile and deliver the high specification components it needed. 

Quartzelec, a leading independent electrical engineering service provider, is increasingly being tasked by UK companies to undertake lightning protection surveys to ensure compliance with BS EN 62305:2011.

Quartzelec has joined the Achilles FPAL Verify network to further demonstrate its commitment to delivering high-quality services available to the oil and gas industry.

Quartzelec has recertified its Phase-Segregated Terminal Boxes range to new IEC standards, which includes the addition of full earth bonding.

A multinational construction materials manufacturer underwent a dramatic loss of high-voltage (HV) supply at one of its UK facilities in the early hours of the morning. Quartzelec investigated the issue to get the power back on.

Quartzelec is sponsoring the upcoming Steam Turbine and Generator User Group 2019.

Quartzelec has recently tendered for an Arc Flash Assessment at Mexichem, Runcorn, UK.

Quartzelec recently signed a contract to renovate an initial 60 'Ex' certified low-voltage (LV) motors for a gas refinery in Egypt.

British master papermakers James Cropper turned to Quartzelec to design and deliver a viable and cost-effective replacement for an ‘obsolete’ 50-year old steam turbine generator control panel.

When a utility company based in Saudi Arabia experienced operational problems with the starting hub of a critical synchronous motor drive, the company initially approached the motor OEM for assistance. Seeking a viable alternative, Quartzelec was approached to provide technical support.

Quartzelec is exhibiting at Electrify Europe, which will be held from 19-21 June 2018 in Messe Wien, Vienna, Austria.

Quartzelec has reported an increase in pre-tax revenues to £1.2m, based on a £63.4m turnover for the 30 September 2017 year.

Quartzelec has recently fitted a brushless AC exciter at the Mucomir Hydropower station in Scotland.

Quartzelec has experienced a large increase in demand from across North and South America for its expert rotating electrical machines support services.

UK-based Quartzelec will soon provide its services to Indonesia, having recently made expansions in Malaysia and The Phillippines.

Quartzelec, one of the UK's leading suppliers of electrical engineering services, is currently exhibiting its most innovative solutions and services for rotating machines for the power generation industry at POWER-GEN Europe 2017.

When it comes to providing vital engineering support for high-voltage and low-voltage electrical assets including rotating machines and associated static plant within the expanding renewables sector, Quartzelec delivers a key set of skills on an ‘around-the-clock’ basis through its strategically placed UK workshop facilities.

The past decade has been an economic rollercoaster for many UK and international organisations.

Leading UK based independent electrical engineering group Quartzelec, has invested more than a million Euros in its Rugby based Quartzcoil manufacturing business, allowing it to further meet growing global demand for coils and bars that support the manufacture and refurbishment of AC/DC motors and generators.

A critical failure was prevented at the Tata Steel (Margam) operation in Port Talbot, South Wales due to ongoing electrical inspections and prompt intervention by Quartzelec, and the in-house team. The failure could have resulted in a loss of steel production, as well as a long rebuild programme and a large repair bill.

With an ever growing number of electrical machines now being manufactured and sourced from overseas, customers still need to ensure that the electrical terminal boxes comply with international safety and manufacturing standards, particularly if they are being operated in potentially hazardous environments.

As a technical authority in the field of rotating electrical machines, Quartzelec has now created a dedicated test area that has the ability to test all types of rotating electrical machines (AC/DC motors and generators), gearboxes and transformers to national and international standards, ensuring a wide range of dynamic and static tests can be delivered, either as a stand-alone service or encompassed within a repair or overhaul.

One of the most innovative and respected gas and hydrocarbon companies in the United Arab Emirates has just competitively tendered and awarded Quartzelec, a leading international electrical engineering group, with a significant service and support presence in the region, with a long term Partial Discharge monitoring contract to cover the next three years, with an option to extend.
