Hello guys,
I am a recently hired plant engineer who is working with a GE7Fa HRSG. In the past we have had trouble in outages when having to remove the turbine roof. I have not been a part of this yet, but apparently when we disconnect the wire to get the roof off we just leave the slack hanging off the side. It is a very slow process and has caused a lot of damage to our wiring in the past.
Our thought was to make a sort of "Quick connect" that would allow us to easily disconnect the roof wires and remove/reinstall the roof while leaving the wiring in place. My initial thought was a row of essentially junction boxes across the top of the wall, and just run the existing wiring through them, and there is your point of disconnect.
I know I am not the first plant to do this, but nobody in my plant has been involved before, does anyone here have any experience with this sort of project? Any words of advice would be appreciated.
On another note let me give a thanks to everyone here, I am very new to this industry and the information here has been invaluable. I have a lot to learn and am happy I stumbled upon this site.
