Mersen DustCollector – Cleaner Generators for Cleaner Energy
The Mersen DustCollector, a patented solution, is designed to prevent short circuits caused by carbon brush dust. Accumulated dust can lead to reduced coil insulation resistance, potentially resulting in insulation failure between windings and ground. With installations on hundreds of generators in over 30 countries, Mersen is the global leader in carbon dust extraction technology.
