Abstract :
The strategy to achieve the desired outcome of five-year operation without downtime was discussed. This article provides an update of the experience with the new systems, problems encountered, successes achieved, and lessons learned. The strategy to extend the reliable operation of the key electrical equipment will be discussed as well as the maintenance challenges to prepare the drive trains for the next long run following the current one.
