From Failure to Function: Quartzelec Completes Full Generator Rewind Quartzelec #Rugby recently completed a comprehensive in-house rewind of an 11kV #synchronous generator for a #steel manufacturing facility in #SouthWales. The project followed a critical in-service failure, where a sheared rotor pole-to-pole support led to a severe internal collision with the windings—prompting the need for urgent and expert intervention. Quartzelec was selected for the repair due to our proven track record in #HV machine recovery and our ability to deliver a full turnkey solution entirely in-house. Both the #rotor and #stator was transported to our Rugby-based workshop, where initial inspections were carried out by our engineering teams. All existing windings were stripped from the rotor and stator, followed by thorough cleaning and diagnostic testing of the stator core and rotor body. The stator core was then carefully prepared, and new #coils were manufactured in-house by Quartzcoil, part of the Quartzelec group of companies, to meet the original specification. Once manufactured, the coils were installed, connected, and the stator was fully varnished to ensure durability and performance. On the rotor, refurbished coils were installed along with newly insulated leads and connections. A new slip ring hub and slip rings were also fitted and precision-machined in-house using our Noble & Lund lathe. Both rotor and stator were then painted to specification in our workshop. Final electrical and quality assurance tests—including insulation resistance and surge testing—were successfully completed before the equipment was securely packaged for return to site. This project highlights the importance of fast, reliable, and technically precise repair services for critical infrastructure. With end-to-end in-house capabilities—from coil manufacture to precision machining—Quartzelec offers full quality control, reduced lead times, and a responsive, dependable service. The stator and rotor are now back with the client, ready to support generation demands as soon as they’re brought back into operation. #synchronousgenerator #diagnostictesting #insulationresistance #surgetesting #generatorrewind #steelmanufacturing #UnparalleledInEngineeringServices

H Absolutely true! It was 12 months to the day when I was out in Bolton giving out testing kits with our community teams! Testing played a vital role in preventing cases & deaths too 😉😊 What an achievement for all #surgetesting #surgevaccinations #socialmovement

Extra #covid19 support welcome for NorthEast but #vaccine & #surgetesting are only part of solution; important to have proper financial support #SelfIsolation & retain #MaskOn in #poorly #indoor #ventilated #spaces @bmj_latest blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2021/07/09…

The young ppl of the #Northeast, where we’re experiencing a really worrying ⬆️in cases AND hospitalisations, deserve some decent answers. There’s no #SurgeTesting that I’m aware of & ppl here are being seriously neglected. 8/ @NCC_Leader @ChiOnwurah @CatMcKinnell

#Covidvaccine engagement in the sun at #WhalleyRange High School today with Laura @WRCFNHW16 and Pete from @MCCWhalleyRange. Conversations with families & teachers attending for #surgetesting and a couple of people vaccinated @KPSPharmacy vaccination centre #teamwork #GrabAJab

PCR home test kits available for pick-up from Waylett Place now: you can return the completed test during the day up to 2pm daily. #surgetesting #westnorwood #tulsehill #lambeth beta.lambeth.gov.uk/surge-co…

We have @NHSuk on site again this weekend, doing our bit to help the #community. #Pontefract #Wakefield #surgetesting @educationgovuk

#SurgeTesting in #Scotland accounts for some extra cases but in other areas there are also huge increase in cases on 21st June #downingstreetbriefing 👇

#COVID19 #Surgetesting Response @blackburndarwen Thanks to military personnel and Council engagement staff and COVID Community Champions who have made the response so effective so quickly .

Just been to have a walk up #COVID19 PCR test in Windrush Square Brixton - we’d like all #Lambeth residents to take a test to help @lambeth_council @LambethTogether control the #DeltaVariant in our borough & community #KeepLambethSafe #Surgetesting

Rising COVID cases St Helens- #surgetesting is being introduced in some areas. To protect everyone at school & reduce the risk of having to #isolate please ensure your child continues to take #LateralFlow tests twice a week, every week. Further details on penkford.st-helens.sch.uk/

#SurgeTesting starts at 10 this morning, for everyone who lives, works or studys in #Reigate town centre, or around #Banstead, #BurghHeath or #TattenhamCorner. That covers everyone attending @ReigateGrammar Please get tested!

#SurgeTesting starts at 10 this morning, for everyone who lives, works or studys in #Reigate town centre, or around #Banstead, #BurghHeath or #TattenhamCorner. Find out if you're in an affected area on the @SurreyCouncil website: orlo.uk/d4MDY

Our recent engagement work around #SurgeTesting in @blackburndarwen has shown there's lots of confusion about the different types of #Covid19Tests Please help us share this graphic which should help explain ⬇️

To help track the spread of the #DeltaVariant, #SurgeTesting moves to 📍#Darwen! If you live, work or study in Darwen, please take a #PCR test - whether you have symptoms or not More info - theshuttle.org.uk/covid-surg… @BwdChampions @blackburndarwen @DarwenCouncil @CareNetworkUK

#WeKnowYouAreLying #EnoughIsEnough #TakeOffYourMask #SurgeTesting ~ don’t do it

This is also what #SurgeTesting does; so when they bring the circus to your neck of the woods you know what to do; don’t get tested...that is how they keep you with restrictions and push for lockdown...don’t test and end this

#SurgeTesting allows them to keep restrictions and lockdown again; stop testing
