Room Acoustics Exciting Destructive Vibration at a Nuclear Power Plant
Mechanical Solutions, Inc. (MSI) was contracted to determine the root cause and solution for the failure of 4 kV switchgear bearings in a nuclear power facility. The switchgear cabinets were shaking at the frequency of the turbine/ generator mounted on the deck above, even though the floor of the switchgear cabinets had an extremely low level of vibration.
