Sensors are approved for use on GE steam turbines

Macro Sensors has been named a GE SQE-approved vendor for linear variable reluctance transformer position sensors used on General Electric's steam turbines.

Macro Sensors has been named a GE SQE (Supplier Quality Engineering) approved vendor for LVRT (linear variable reluctance transformer) position sensors used on General Electric's steam turbines.

The LVRTs are implemented for position measurement on governor valves, throttle valves, reheat/stop valves, interceptor valves and many other control valves.

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 0.75in-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 GE and OEM replacement LVDTs and LVRTs that work with existing OEM control systems and updated retrofitted controls.
