John Guiliano

I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia with different members of the family being employed by "The Company". I can always remember myself? What is IT? Where does IT come from? After a sixteen year plus career in the field I created Inside The Giant Electric Machine to help others understand how electricity is produced in a modern day power plant and the importance of mechanical energy being provided to the grid all around the world.

THE GIANT WATER

COOLING PUMP 1-A

PRE-JOB BRIEF

LOUIE: Hello everyone, I’m glad to see we are all here together as a team. Today we are going to start working on one of the giant water pumps that keep the electric machine cooled down. We all know what happens when the electricity machine gets to hot, RIGHT!

THE CREW: Yes Louie, Yes Louie, the electric machine will stop spinning and will stop making electricity. Uh ooh!

LOUIE: We all have to remember that the most important thing we do is SAFETY. The pump we are going to work on is pump 1 A. The pump has four stages and is a split case, horizontal style with four impellers and five wear rings. It supplies cold water to the condenser which helps condense the steam that passes through the main turbine. The main turbine is what turns the generator to produce the electric that supplies our homes and businesses. The first group of people on our team we need to talk to is the electricians.

HI VOLT, BRUCEY, SISTER T [Electricians]: Yes Louie, Yes Louie, How are you doing?

HI VOLT: We’re all ready to help the team, Lou. You did say water pump 1-A right?

LOUIE: Yes HI VOLT, pump 1-A. Along the way to the pump I’m going to need the electricians to take care of some other things for the team too. [BRUCEY is in the back eating doughnuts. But listening.]

SISTER T: Sure Louie, what ever we can do to help.

LOUIE: First, we need to talk to the electricity machine operator and let him know we are going to be working on water cooling pump number 1-A. Next, we need to find the power source to the big water cooling pump. Then we need to open the big switch and turn off the big water pumps motor. Once that is done we need to I.D. the switch and pad lock it opened. After you get that done we’ll meet you at the
