Polywater has received another excellent testimonial on PowerPatch Sealant, this one relating to its effectiveness on an oil-filled cable leak repair. TVA contacted Polywater for a solution to an oil leak from a component on which previous repair attempts--including an alternative sealant--had failed. After preparing the surface with Type TR cleaner, PowerPatch was applied. "Thanks to everyone for supporting the oil leak repair on the Unit 4 "C" phase oil-filled cable termination!!! Please pass along our appreciation to your employees. The repair of the oil leak on Unit 4 "C" phase 161 kV oil-filled cable termination was completed on Tuesday. The leak was identified on Saturday, potential repair materials were identified on Saturday and further evaluated on Monday. Material orders were placed on Monday and materials received on Tuesday. The repair required support from multiple employees, construction partner employees, distributor employees, and material vendors. We utilized the Polywater “PowerPatch” product. I would like to lift the top half of the corona shield next week and inspect the patch area again. Thanks." --Valarie Smith, Tennessee Valley Authority, Electrical System Engineering In the picture at left you can just make out the gray PowerPatch seal in the very center of the unit beneath the C-clamp. PowerPatch excels at sealing persistent oil and gas leaks from electrical components such as transformers, PILC, and pothead cable terminations. Available in cups or cartridges, and in regular or slow-cure formula, PowerPatch can solve your customer's most vexing leak problems. |
