ESi was retained to perform a cause and origin evaluation on a fire that ensued after a fault occurred in the iso-phase ducts between the generator and the generator step-up transformer in a large power plant. ESi determined the arcing fault caused hydrogen gas and oil to escape from the generator. The arcing caused an oil-hydrogen-air mixture that ignited, giving rise to the fireball visible at the end of the generator.
ESi's expertise spans dozens of industries and specializations organized across several practice groups, each staffed by dozens of in-house experts with the technical knowledge, hands-on expertise, and courtroom experience required to execute projects for and with our clients from start to finish.
