JOG PV implementation required an increased valve factor,
which resulted in the following thrust and torque capability
changes:
Evaluation Conclusion
– MOV specific evaluation using LiFE shows that the
existing SMB-00 actuator can satisfy cumulative
static and dynamic design basis requirements for
this MOV at torque and thrust levels exceeding the
rating without compromising safety.
