Instrucciones: Analiza el problema descrito y completa la tabla consultando las secciones de aislamiento de fallas del manual de mantenimiento
AMM del motor JT8D. En la tabla deberás describir de forma concisa los pasos del aislamiento de falla aplicables al problema y las pruebas
necesarias para comprobar la existencia de dicha falla detectada identificando la sección del manual correspondiente, equipos necesarios y
precauciones.
Problema: Se detecta una indicación de EPR baja en comparación con otros parámetros del motor ¿cuál es el proceso para identificar la posible
falla? Si se sospecha de una fuga en la probeta pt7 ¿cuáles son las pruebas que deben realizarse para comprobar la existencia de la fuga?

Possible Causes
Exhaust probe or manifold leakage
Loose or damaged connection to transmitter Check connection. Check for cross-threading.
(PT7)
Loose electrical connections
Broken or damaged wiring
Pressure ratio indicator defective
Pressure ratio transmitter defective
Inlet lines at transmitter reversed
Isolation Procedure
Perform PT7 exhaust line leakage test.
Check electrical connectors
Check continuity between indicator and
transmitter.
Disconnect electrical connector from indicator
and perform test outlined in paragraph 2.A.
Replace with transmitter known to be good and
perform test.
Trace lines.
Correction
If leaking, repair or replace line.
If leaking, tighten or replace fitting.
Replace broken or damaged connectors.
Repair or replace wiring.
Replace defective indicator.
Replace defective transmitter.
Correct position of lines.
