General Electric Qualifies Macro Sensors To Supply LVRT Position Sensors for Steam Turbines

Macro Sensors offers a variety of its three-wire LVRT-type linear position sensors to General Electric for turbine valve monitoring and control in electric power generation plants. Units are available in a variety of configurations and outputs to fit different applications. For example, Macro Sensors’ VRT-750 series of 3/4-inch diameter hermetically sealed LVRTs are used by some systems integrators/rebuilders to replace OEM GE-style LVRTs. All popular units are available from stock, with attractive pricing for electric power utilities and turbine control systems integrators.



Macro Sensors also offers a cross-reference guide for exact G.E. and OEM replacement LVDTs and LVRTs that work with existing OEM control systems and updated retrofitted controls. For more information, contact Eileen Otto at eileene@macrosensors or go to the web site at www.macrosensors.com.
