 OTHER ISSUES

• Hotspot on Generator Step Up Transformer FL51

• Hotspots on Busducts of both units
• Update on cBN Cladded HPC Blading?

19-9-2019 24
 HOTSPOT GSUT FL51

• Dissolved gasses in GSUT (Areva)

• Hotspot temp. assumed to be >700ºC
• Kelmann online monitoring system used
• New GSUT delivered and installed under warranty by
Alstom
• RCA is ongoing

19-9-2019 25
 HOTSPOTS ON BUSDUCTS

• Surface temperature of 135ºC

• Busducts in contact with eachother, causing
circulating current

19-9-2019 26
 UPDATE ON CBN CLADDED HPC
BLADING?

• CFSI C_211994 states 12 cladded blades per row (row

18 – 22 HPC), as presented in 2009.
• cBN cladded blades installed only on rows 17, 21 and 22
(observed during FO of FL41 & FL51)

• Why was this CFSI changed and is there more info

available?
• Wasn’t blade tip cracking and liberation most observed
on rows 19 & 20?
