Ship Service #2 120V Load Center 7.2.3 Clean and Inspect the 4 Diesel Generators. Note Refer to manufacturer's tech manual (T9235-AK-MMC-010) for detailed procedures. 7.2.3.1 Check that the holding-down bolts are tight 7.2.3.2 Check all visible fittings and bolts, including those holding the cooler to the cover. 7.2.3.3 Inspect bearing: a. Look for oil leakage from the bearing. b. Clean the cooling fins on the bearing pedestal and the bearing insulation. c. Make sure the insulation is not bridged by dirt. 7.2.3.4 Look for leakage of water from the cooler pipe joints. 7.2.3.5 Open the emergency panel and look inside with a light. 7.2.4. The Polarization Index (PI) of a generator's windings. 7.2.4.1 Before measuring the insulation resistance, remove all external connections to the machine and completely discharge the windings to the grounded machine frame. 7.2.4.2 Apply a constant 500 volts DC between the winding and the ground using a direct-indicating megohmeter, for 10 minutes. 7.2.4.3 The PI is a calculated ratio of the 10-minute to the 1-minute value of the insulation resistance, measured consecutively. Record resistance values after 1-minute and after 10-minutes. The calculation is as follows: Polarization Index (PI) = Resistance after 10 minutes/Resistance after 1 minute 7.2.4.4Tested values should be compared against previous readings to track changes. If history is not available, the recommended minimum values of PI for all machine components insulation classes per IEC 60085-01:1984 are: Thermal Class Rating --- Minimum PI Class A --- 1.5 Class B --- 2.0 Class F --- 2.0 Class H --- 2.0 Notes: These are the lowest values at which a winding is recommended for an over-voltage test or for operation. The PI test is not applicable to non-insulated field windings. Very high PI (greater than 8) for varnished cambric, shellac mica-folium, or asphaltic stator windings may indicate that the insulation has been thermally aged and may be at risk of failure. Physical inspection can be used to confirm if the insulation is dry and brittle. 7.2.4.5 Check brushes for any damage, excessive wear or excessive deterioration. 7.2.4.6 Check for proper spring tension. 7.2.4.7 Inspect brushes for freedom of movement in holder (Brush length, replace if required) 7.2.4.8 Inspect brushes for contact to commutator 7.2.4.9 Inspect brush holders and rigging for alignment. Brush holders should have a radial clearance from collector rings as specified by manufacturer specs. 7.2.4.10 Inspect smoothness of collector ring as indicated by brush vibration. 7.2.5. Clean/Inspect 4 Propulsion Transformers 7.2.5.1. Inspect the interior for any signs of moisture or corrosion: a. Examine the molded case circuit breaker mountings, and windings for excessive dirt and dust build up. Ensure that the insulation material has not been cracked or broken. b. Examine the bus bars, stabs, studs, etc. for discoloration caused by excessive heat. c. Inspect as much of the panel wiring as possible for chaffing or cracked insulation. Ensure that all cable clamps are secure. d. Observe all indicating lights and meters to insure that they are functioning properly. If indicating lights are not functioning, check bulbs to insure that they are not burned out. If a bulb is burned out always replace with a bulb of equal wattage and voltage. 7.2.5.2 Thoroughly clean all surfaces, especially the conducting parts, by means of lint free cloth and vacuum cleaner. It is not recommended to use a high-pressure air line to blow the dust away. Do not use solvents or any kind of liquid (especially on the coils). 7.2.5.3 Clean all ventilation grills, louvers, or openings. 7.2.5.4 Check and if necessary, re-tighten all hardware and wire connections. 7.2.5.5 Check the condition of all painted surfaces. This applies to the core, the enclosure and other structural metallic parts. Remove traces of rust, if any, by means of wire brush. When necessary, apply locally two coats of new paint. Only a temperature resistant (155 °C) and insulating paint should be used. 7.2.5.6 Check the operating settings and correct function of the thermal protection device. 7.2.5.7 Check the operating setting and correct function of cooling fans (if fitted) for forced ventilation. 7.2.6 Clean/Inspect 4 Propulsion Freq. Converters, Note Refer to manufacturer's tech manual (T9235-AN-MMC-10) for detailed procedures. 7.2.6.1 Visually inspect converter components for general/overall clean condition of the interior and exterior cabinets. 7.2.6.2 Inspect frame paint for signs of corrosion 7.2.6.3 Inspect bars for possible signs overheating 7.2.6.4 Inspect cabinet for signs of water leakage. 7.2.6.5 Inspect semi-conductor-heat sink sets. 7.2.6.6 Inspect capacitors for signs of overheating, and swelling. 7.2.6.7 Inspect resistors for signs of overheating. 7.2.6.8 Inspect terminal blocks for overheating, or corrosion. 7.2.6.9 Inspect wiring for damage, overheating, or corrosion 7.2.6.10 Inspect associated electronic boards for overheating, or corrosion. 7.2.6.11 Check the water pressure.
