ETH generator armature at Bowers
By December work on the ETH/Auxiliary generators was progressing nicely. The partially stripped (better condition) ETH/Auxiliary generator set had been completely stripped down, and had passed a Megger test. Here the ETH armature is seen standing on stands in the workshop in the process of being cleaned up. 4th December 2008

ETH armature slight banding damage
Unfortunately when removed from the field windings, the ETH armature banding was found to be suffering from the effects of old age, and showed slight damage and weakening. 4th December 2008.

Spare ETH and auxiliary armatures at Bowers
Other work undertaken was to strip the poorer generator set, check all of the components, and to enable any parts to be cannibalised off this set if necessary. Here the two armatures are seen, Auxiliary to the left and damaged ETH to the right. 4th December 2008.

Spare ETH field windings case at Bowers
The fan end of the poorer ETH Generator showing the sooty condition of the internals. This generator is the worst of the generators that will eventually be needed for Renown, the good news is that repair is possible. We have since purchased a much better condition ETH generator for Renown which will be coupled with a good condition ex-Class 37 auxiliary generator but the set pictured is retained as a repairable spare. 4th December 2008.
