Fiddler’s Ferry Power Station had four 500 MW turbo-generator sets manufactured by English Electric. The turbine generator units were arranged lengthwise along the turbine hall, with the HP heaters situated between the turbines and boiler house.

Each turbo-generator set comprised a single-shaft five-cylinder impulse reaction turbine with a single reheat stage on the intermediate pressure cylinder. The three low pressure cylinders exhaust steam to the condensers. The generators were rated at 588MVA. The stator windings were water cooled whilst the rotor windings were cooled by hydrogen gas circulated by a blower on the generator shaft.
