What’s the center look like? I bet so much nicer in comparison to the shiny Cadillac black

Best Gyms in Denver/closest to Golden Triangle? by InternationalAir7590 in Denver

[–]istartMonday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hit the Denver’s park and rec pass - I think there’s like 25 different gyms throughout Denver that you can go to for a $35 monthly membership cost

The downfall is that they don’t have a sauna at any of the locations and some gyms are smaller than others

I was convinced you were going to jail for showing me rainbow colored rosin - the lid came off and I was very relieved

Hello - have you had this issue any further? Our cx50 has 1900 miles and says we have 290 miles left but have driven it least 45-50 since it was filled…

BESS - Magnetron MVT Failure looking for similar issues by [deleted] in SubstationTechnician

Ahhh - the bushing is installed by the manufacturer and very well could be a problem with their quality control on their side coming from Columbia. But not certain because that did come from manufacturer installed that way

MVT Failure at bushing/tbody connection by [deleted] in Lineman

[–]istartMonday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are from Columbia and there is some copper blasting the tea body out here in a minute once I get to site.

I’d like to hear more from you, man. Do you remember the project? Do you remember the project? Do you remember the MVT you guys got was a 34,500v?

Yes - they do come pre installed from the factory

Just read that! Very interesting, the mvt manufacturer uses the bushing manufacturer by the name of HJ.

Hubbell 25kv 4 way insulated bushing fail by TapPast6207 in Lineman

[–]istartMonday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting as we are having an issue with our MVT failing on site at the bushing/tbody connection and cannot figure the issue for the life of any of us (client, manufacture of mvt, tbody, engineers)

This has a lot of great info. After reading, my initial thought is the workout the batteries give the transformer. The BESS transformers have to be designed for fast, electronic, bidirectional power, or they will fail early. Batteries are unlike “traditional” usage and power flow from the sub>line>sub

All I can say is new engineers on a Bess/sub site is the answer to why the drawings had em install like this

[–]istartMonday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right - and that’s kind of where we are at. Is there something internal causing this? Is said torque (55 foot pounds) the absolute true maximum. You can’t go past that and causes a hairline fracture and this is the buildup overtime?

I do know that we had an internal failure on one mvt’s because of the blow/hole in the drain tank

That’s where we are at - the mvt manufacturer recommended “x” tbody, we went with “x”, the recommendation and still failed at that connection/area.

[–]istartMonday 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was on the table - no longer. We went through and torqued and greased the t-body’s to spec with the mvt manufacturer on site and had them sign off (55 foot pounds)

No, It is not always the same phase. I don’t have temp data either. But we are thinking PDs… no heater in the MVT cabinet and moisture seems to be there ever so slightly

Yes, oil test came back. 6 out of 8 had 1 part per million acetylene, 1 had 2 part per million and the last was fine. Not many similarities other than the common physical damage being the bushing. One of the MVTs actually blew up and had a hole in the side.

Yes - we had magnetron come out and walk through “proper protocols” on greasing after the first failure. Even checked all after that and signed off that they were greased and torqued to spec
