Log Book for April 19, 2005
Engineering Report
Mathias Bonnet Reporting
Generator/Electricity:
Generator: The inverter raised an alarm and cut off the power last night around 4:30 am. The error was identified as an "Input Relay Failure". The procedure followed was to turn off the inverter and to turn it back on to SRCH mode afterwards. The "Casper" generator showed a very unstable pace (frequency going down).
Over the day the generator was still very unstable and the same failure happened once more.
The air filter of the "Casper" generator has been checked but looked clean. The air opening on the generator has been moved from "summer" to "winter".
