SGen5-1000A at Simmering Power Plant near Vienna, Austria
Siemens offers in its Siemens Generator This generator product line brings together
(SGen™) product line advanced air-cooled, all of the experience gained in the manufac-
two-pole generators, called SGen‑1000A turing of more than 9,000 generators over
series, with ratings between 165 and the past 100 years, with a combined total
350 MVA for steam and gas turbines. of more than 700 GW of installed capacity.

rotors with different diameters as well as different
active body lengths. ■■ Design based on field-proven generator
component designs
The same active generator components are
used in both the air-cooled and hydrogen-cooled
generators. This means that customers who
choose air-cooled generators benefit from the
manufacturing and operational advances made
with respect to hydrogen-cooled generators.
A design requiring low maintenance in connec-
tion with our worldwide service network guaran-
tees the highest availability.
