The Switch

Medium-speed permanent magnet generators

PMG 1650 – 3300 kW
150 – 414 rpm

The Switch is fully committed to wind power generation. With our purpose-built permanent magnet generators (PMG), we cover all wind power applications. Each PMG is designed with special magnet shapes and arrangements to match specific wind conditions for smooth operation and maximum efficiency.

The Switch PMGs provide excellent availability and productivity. By eliminating cogging, we have reduced the overall mechanical stress. This improves reliability and extends the turbine’s lifetime.

The Switch medium-speed PMGs typically feature a single- or two-stage gearbox and have a much higher annual energy production compared with conventional generators. As an option, The Switch offers a highly integrated medium-speed PMG version as an optimized solution.

Features

Advantages

Bearings Part of integrated structure; designed to last more than 20 years, well beyond turbine lifetime
Neodymium magnets Strongest commercially available magnets, in a corrosion-resistant metal seal
Windings Strong form-wound construction offers greater precision and excellent insulation
Cooling concept Protects the generator effectively against demagnetization and ensures a longer lifetime


Specifications

These specifications are based on one nominal operational point example. Our generators can easily be adapted to other operational points. All generators are also available for medium voltage.
