The GH11 series is designed for standard applications with relatively small and simple turbines, while the robust SH11 series is designed to meet more demanding specifications for turbines and complex hydroelectric power stations. The SH11 generators have a modified mechanical and electrical design that allows them to be operated with higher inertial forces and relatively large axial and radial loads despite their compact construction.
WEG's generators can be installed and commissioned in existing plants as the design is based on a standard technology platform.As a result, the manufacturing process is similar to series production and meaning users benefit from shorter delivery times.
Both the GH11 and SH11 can be installed either horizontally or vertically and are available in versions for brushless excitation or static excitation with brushes.
