Turbines Help Power U.S. Energy Independence

The U.S. barriers to energy independence have been both technological and regulatory.  In 2019, total U.S. energy exports exceeded imports for the first time in 67 years, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Let’s look under the hood of one method of power generation -- high speed turbines.

Electric Motor Parts Play A Big Role

Manufacturers including Siemens, General Electric and ABB have innovated with even more efficient turbines.  Inside of these large high-speed power-generating turbines are unseen small electric motor parts that conduct electrical current between the stationary and rotating parts. The parts include carbon brushes for turbines in utilities.  Utility plant managers rely on electrical supply distributors for timely delivery of these parts.
 
These electric motor parts are small, yet their availability and performance play a big part in reducing operating costs like fuel and warehousing of high-turn inventory.  Facilities save time and money when they don’t have to manage inventory.  Instead, they rely on electric motor part providers like Marlton, NJ -based REPCO to support users and suppliers with fast order fulfillment from an inventory of more than 36 industrial motor manufacturers.  Further down the supply chain, electrical distributors avoid losing customers due to OEM delivery delays.
 
REPCO is a wholesaler offering carbon brushes from original manufacturers as well as its own private label lower-cost alternatives for specific applications.  A full line of OEM carbon brushes for utilities are available from stock.  The domestic supply chain is responding quickly to the increasing need for electric motor parts to support U.S. energy production.
