This was posed in the motor controls forum. Just want to see what some of the power guys think about this
I have a cable tray located below a few oil filters to a couple of boilers that has been doused with oil over the years that an insurance risk assessment just uncovered.
As the plant EE I am faced with the task of correcting within 6 months. Step 1 is to relocate the source of contamination. Step 2 is to correct the contaminated 35yr old tray that is full, without affecting the operations and without shutting down any of the units!
Costly cable replacement has not been accepted as an option and would require unit shutdowns anyway... Physical inspection does not show any obvious insulation damage but all that is required is a spark.....
Any suggestions as to alternatives!!
