1.0 Speed Pickups & #1 Bearing Seismic Probes, Disconnection and Removal Tim Rinehart 3/19/2010
Step Section 0 – Index and General Information Verification

Index:
Section 0 – Index and General Information
Section 1 – Remove Speed Probe Bracket
Section 2 – Remove #1 Bearing Seismic Probes
This instruction addresses the removal of the magnetic speed probe pickup bracket (including the speed probes), reference
probe (keyphasor) and junction box JB58 (or equivalent), as well as #1 bearing seismic probes likely removed at this time. The
GE Field Engineer/Technical Advisor shall indicate exceptions to disconnection and/or removal for their workscope. It is
organized in two sections, one for the speed probe bracket and the other for the #1 bearing seismic probes, to allow either
set of devices to be removed first or omitted. Use judgment and consult with your supervisor or site FE on any preferred
practice.
Typical configurations are shown in Figure 1 for a number of different unit types. Those configurations not applicable should
be lined out to avoid any possible confusion prior to releasing the Field Procedure to start work. Always refer to your unit
1.0 specific configuration to resolve any differences.
Notify your supervisor or site GE FE prior to removal of any speed probes, seismic probes, reference probe or cabling
found damaged, to assess probable cause and replacement requirements.
TIP – Occasionally, the load coupling guard bolting causes interference with the speed pickups, resulting in damage. These
guard bolts are sometimes shortened to protect the speed probes from damage. Review and comment accordingly for
disassembly and subsequent reassembly, as well as assessing need for further guidance if modifications required.

Return this Field Procedure to the Field Engineer or your Shift Supervisor when this activity is complete or at

Step Section 1 – Remove Speed Probe Bracket - Instructions Verification

Verify an appropriate LOTO of any potential power to the devices terminated at JB58 and JB55, prior to
disconnecting conduit to JB58, to allow moving the junction box, bracket and speed probes as an assembly.
FE Initial
1.0 Also, indicate whether Section 2 is also required at Section 2, Step 1. Review other potential interference
___________
issues with removal of the speed probe bracket and modify/comment as appropriate. Review applicable
conduits/conductors going back to turbine controller, and advise for following step.
There are 1 or 2 conduits coming into JB58 that direct the wires back to the turbine controller, and ARE the
ones to be disconnected to allow removal of the speed probe bracket and junction box.
2.0
Label or verify appropriate labeling for each of the wires coming from the conduit, terminating inside JB58,

and disconnect only those terminations and conduit run. The terminations to the devices will be left intact.


Figure 1 – Examples of typical configurations


Where applicable, carefully remove the 77RP (or other
designation for reference probe) located at or near the speed
probe bracket.
To prevent damage to the probe/cable while unscrewing the
probe, the cable should be free to slowly rotate and to prevent
binding while backing the probe out of the bracket.
Note: There will typically be a twist-type coaxial connection
approximately 20” from the tip of the probe. This connection
may be exposed or just inside a pull-box along the conduit. If
possible, disconnect at this point, otherwise open JB55, and
the Bently Nevada extension cable from this probe will be
there, typically coiled up. This probe is held in by a ¾” jam
3.0
nut which must be loosened, and the probe unscrewed from
the bracket to allow removal of the probe and it’s holder (quill).
See picture at right.
Once the probe is removed, carefully coil up any exposed
leads and tie off to prevent damage or interference during
removal of the speed probe bracket and subsequent work in
the area.
Additional instructions by FE:

Insert a piece of cushioning material, i.e plastic/cardboard/heavy cloth between the speed probe bracket(s)
probe tips and the toothed wheel, prior to loosening the speed probe bracket bolts. This will help prevent
damage to the magnetic speed pickups coming into contact with the wheel during disassembly. Remove
and bag the fasteners removed and attach to the bracket for later assembly.
CAUTION:
The speed probe bracket is often heavy and awkward, and may require additional help or rigging to lift and
4.0 set off onto scaffold/platform or down to compartment floor. Contact your supervisor if you are unsure of
your ability to safely handle this item on your own to prevent personal injury or damage to hardware.
After checking that no further interference exists to prevent removing the speed probe bracket, lift and
remove the speed probe bracket and set aside, being careful not to damage the probes or conduits.
Check to be sure the spring dowel pins either stayed in place on the bearing pedestal, or stayed in the
bracket, but that they are not ‘loose’ anywhere. If they remove easily from the bearing pedestal, then
remove and place with the other hardware for reassembly later.
The GE Field Engineer/Technical Advisor or Craft Supervisor shall verify that all required removals have been
FE/Supv Initial
5.0 completed, that all parts have been bagged and/or tagged with the appropriate location clearly identified,
and that any required FME covers have been installed or reinstalled. ___________

Step Section 2 – Remove #1 Bearing Seismic Probes - Instructions Verification

Carefully cut and discard any lock wire (if present) securing coaxial connections.
Disconnect twist connections at the seismic probes (39V-1A and 39V-1B) on top of the #1 bearing in Figure 1.
1.0 These should be hand tight and not require the use of wrenches to remove. Contact your shift supervisor or
GE field engineer before using wrenches on these fittings. After disconnecting these connections, gently coil
the cable back and tie up to prevent damage while moving the bracket and junction box assembly.
Refer back to Figure 1 for location of the probes, 39V-1A and 39V-1B. The probes are typically attached to a
common baseplate at the top center of the bearing bracket. Remove the three screws (typically ½” diameter
2.0 12 point) and lockwashers holding the seismic probe baseplate in place. Bag and tag the hardware, placing
a cloth or other cushion material around the probes to prevent damage. It is not necessary to remove the
probes from their common bracket.
The GE Field Engineer/Technical Advisor or Craft Supervisor shall verify that all required removals have been
completed, that all parts have been bagged and/or tagged with the appropriate location clearly identified, FE/Supv Initial
3.0
stored for subsequent cleaning/inspection/reassembly and that any required FME covers have been installed ___________
or reinstalled.
