Why EBI:

Walter Scott had performed some preliminary testing on their Isolated Phase Bus system that indicated additional inspections should be performed. MidAmerican Energy turned to us as the leading IPB expert.

Scope

  • Visual inspection of IPB compartments.
  • Cryogenic cleaning of internal Isolated Phase Bus components.
  • Cleaning and inspection of additional enclosure components – GSU cabinets, generator cabinet, Aux Xfrmr cabinets, exciter Xfrmr bushing and PT bushing area).

Challenges

  • The plant had known issues before our inspection began.

Success

  • Additional corrections were able to be performed during our cleaning and inspection to avoid various complications with the isophase in the future.
