RMS Conclusion/Recommendations/Comments:
Bus was fairly clean on the inside, it was easily detected where
the water was being introduced into the system at the rubber
bellows located at the connection of the transformer. The
bellows were replaced and an air pressure test was performed
to validate the seal.
It was evident that the water had sat in the bus for some time
and dripped down causing some discoloration. All-in-all the
insulators were fairly clean and the bus was in good shape.
None of the connections needed to be silver plated the
surfaces were flat.
RMS hand wiped reachable insulators with alcohol and lint free
rags, dusted the inside of the bus (enclosure and conductor),
and vacuumed the dirt, debris and cob webs from the bus.
New gasket material was put on the enclosure split covers and
access doors as well as the doghouse covers.
The concrete penetration was cleaned up and resealed.
The area around the transformer was cleaned of all dirt and
debris.
Rain shields were installed over the vertical sections of bus
above the split covers as an extra measure to ensure no water
would enter the bus.
No insulators were replaced on this Unit.
A final inspection and approval was performed by site contact
Dan Palecek of the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Current inspections per bus manufacturers' is that the bus is
opened up and inspected at each scheduled outage or every
12-18 months.
