Failure Analysis of Hydraulic Operating Mechanism for Generator Circuit Breaker in a Nuclear Power Plant
The fault of not keeping pressure at closing operation due to internal leakage
which is caused by the cylinder crack of hydraulic operating mechanism of generator circuit breaker of a nuclear power plant
is introduced in this paper. In order to analyze the root cause of the internal leakage due to the cylinder crack and make correction measures. It is confirmed by adopting such methods as finite element model analysis
metallographic analysis
hardness and roughness detection as well as mechanical property detection in the three aspects of cylinder stress
hydraulic cylinder metallurgic analysis and hydraulic oil for the cylinder crack that the root cause is the stress corrosion crack due to inappropriate surface treatment. It is proposed to improve the surface treatment process of cylinder and increase the warning
namely monitor the pumping number of oil pump of the hydraulic operating mechanism. The fault of cylinder crack of the hydraulic operating mechanism has never happened anymore after implementing the improvement and measures.
