A nice plant in Ohio got their DC motor sludge feed pump motors wet after a storm. The pump stateion had a poser outage and the sump pumps did not work, allowing water for the extensive basement to flow to the lowest point in the building. The storm was on Friday. The wet pumps were discovered on Monday morning. The plant is staffed 24/7 by operators, including weekends. I do not know the work schedule, but I assume that the operator makes rounds twice an 8-hour shift. How could such a thing happen? At least 3 different men have to not go to the basement over the course of 7 shifts.
Automation sounds like a good idea..
