Main Features and Advantages
Precision Vibration Analysis:
The GE IS200VVIBH1C processes signals from Bently Nevada probes to measure shaft vibration, axial position, and eccentricity with ±0.1% accuracy 3. Its advanced firmware analyzes amplitude, frequency, and phase data to detect faults like imbalance, misalignment, or bearing wear, triggering alarms and logging events for diagnostic analysis. This level of precision is critical in power plants, where even minor vibrations can escalate into costly turbine failures.
