Hello everyone,
We have three CAT 3516C Gas Generators installed in our facility. 2 out of 3 runs under normal operation and third one acts as a standby. Two days ago we observed a tripping of the one of the Gas Generator occurred due to high temperature of Stator Windings of the Alternator. RTDs has been installed for sensing of the temperature in the stator. We considered loose connections in the wiring and thus carried out tightening of all the connections. The temperature was restored to normal values after tightening of connections. This generator was put on standby. Today this generator was in in stop condition and high temperature alarm was actuated and tripping signal was initiated although it was not running. The high value of the temperature reading stayed for around 2 minutes and then it returned to its normal value. The second time around, no rectification activity was carried out and the temperature returned to its normal value on its own. Has anyone ever faced such issue before? Any inputs will be highly appreciated.
