Document Description
The ECGS steam turbine Unit 2-1 33MVA Main Generator Step-up Transformer, consisting of a bank of 3 single-phase 14.67 MVA transformers, has been in service since 1952. The useful service life for power transformers is 40 years. Testing performed in 2016, 2018 and 2019 confirmed that two of the three-single phase transformers were at risk of failure. Failure of any of the single-phase transformers poses a safety risk to plant equipment and personnel and could take Unit 2 turbines out of service. Assessments performed by IID indicates that the replacement of two (2) single-phase transformers would maintain operational reliability and safety.
