Restoration diary

As one of RRRG's electrical officers I will write about my specialist field as well as general reports of work on site.

Work party report 1st September 2024

Richard, Dave, and I were on site yesterday. Dave is continuing testing pipework and various valves in the air system of Repulse. He has also mounted the extractor fan above where the ETH generator sits. I fitted and wired the AWS sunflower & reset button in No.2 cab, while Richard finished connecting the two-core cable from the sunflower to the DSD relay box. During tightening one of the connections in the reset button, the stud sheared off, so I had to remove the button, extract the broken stud, remove one from one of our spare buttons, refit it and attach the wiries again. Richard then set up the 110v for the internal lighting, and we left it on for two hours during the afternoon. The lights could eventually be required to be on for extended periods, so by gradually leaving the lighting circuits powered for longer periods, we establish they are all working properly. The cover picture shows the mounted extractor fan.
