SUMMARY
Date Opened Date Closed L2018-GEN-0007 IN Emergency Diesel Generator Excitation System Diode Failures EDG excitation system diode failures continue to occur. This information notice is intended to inform addressees that these conditions can lead to demand/run failures and can adversely affect the ability of EDGs to perform their safety functions.
