1What Happened

4 台应急柴油发电机(EDG)因服务水泵控制电源变压器选型偏小,在降压工况下接触器无法可靠吸合,被整体宣布不可用;设计变更未核算替换接触器更高涌流对控制电源变压器的影响

2Root Cause

1998 年 MCC 改造设计错误,未核算替换接触器涌流对控制电源变压器选型的影响;Extent-of-condition 还发现 EDG 机房通风风机同隐患

3Reliability Lessons (from investigation root cause)
  • The 'Root Cause' above is the core lesson of this accident; not split further.

About the Failure-Mode Code (click to expand)

The mechanism code FAI shown on this card is the KB's internal damage-mechanism abbreviation (not an ISO 14224 code); it describes how the equipment failed. The 'ISO 14224 Mapping' block above maps it to the correct ISO functional failure code (which describes what the equipment failed to do) — these are two distinct dimensions in ISO 14224. The mechanism follows the narrative in the card body.
