Tailyfee in isolation Condenser sveten h Actl ltts.ey Central Powr & Liitht Cowpany letter dated November _72 th1 reports two f ailures associated with the operation of the isolattou condensors. The "B" isolation condenser isolated upon actuation and the "A" unit did not. When the "B" condenser was returned to nors.a1 af ter the isolation, all valves operated properly emcept the AC condensate return valve which did not open. Part of the probles was traced to improper connection of instrumentation (unchanged since original construction) and in part to improper limit switch settings on the valve operator.

i Repairs were made and proper operation assured and tested.
