est practice in the industry for 9E mark-V controlled power plants. Failures in last 4 years

TMR failure, TCQA,TCDA card failure Level switch grounding, unit trips on loss of flame due to failure of HSD fuel during low gas pr, STG servo valve problem and CV EHC pipe vibration

All Moog servo valve of unit1,2,STG are failed atleast once. In GT lube oil quality affects the life of servo valve Moog servo valve of unit-1,2 are failed once

Failures in last 4 years

Repeated sensors failure due to high temperature area. However they did not cause any unwanted trip Cable fails due to high temp Failure of cable in load compartment causes the earth fault and some time fire alarm and unit tripping

Software problem. Non availability of interface devie

Problem due to HSD system.
