1、Best Practices Entry: Best Practice Info:a71 Committee Approval Date: 2000-04-24a71 Center Point of Contact: KSCa71 Submitted by: Wilson HarkinsSubject: Electrical Equipment Protection From Liquid Intrusion Practice: This practice will increase equipment reliability and decrease maintenance by preve

2、nting unnecessary repairs to equipment, personnel time loss, and schedule impact due to liquid intrusion. Facilities that contain electrical and electronic equipment (e.g., motor control centers, power supplies, programmable logic controllers, etc.) should be designed with adequate protection from o

3、verhead oil or water sources. Oil sources can come from an overhead crane gearbox that may leak and water intrusion from an overhead pipe or valve.Programs that Certify Usage: This practice has been used at various KSC Facilites.Center to Contact for Information: KSCImplementation Method: This Lesso

This technique will prevent additional repairs if overhead

5、 oil or water leaks occur from facility systems. Most importantly, this technique will decrease the electrical hazard potential to maintenance personnel by restricting the entry of water that can cause short circuits. During hoisting operations, oil can drip onto sensitive flight hardware or other e

Significant oil loss can cause Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-damage to the gearbox assembly.To protect against w

This mishap interrupted Shuttle

9、 processing and cost considerable resources.Hoists contain gearbox assemblies that are filled with oil for lubrication and gear cooling. Gaskets that seal the gearbox housing parts or shaft seals can deteriorate over time and cause oil to leak out. Startup and vibration can cause bolts that connect

10、the gearbox assembly together to become loose and cause oil to leak out.To capture the oil, pans can be constructed from sheet metal. Metal straps are placed on each end of the pan and loop around the front and rear of the gearbox shown in Figure 2. The oil pan should be deep enough to hold all the
