Data outage for Windcube 68

WC68 was down from 5/2 til 5/17 due to a tripped GFCI outlet.  I think the reason for the tripped GFCI was due to water infiltrating the power chord that runs from the windcube to the power converter.  There was a gash in the external insulation of this line and there was obvious copper corrosion inside of the insulation.  I did not see any other damage to the line.  I was able to cut out the bad section of wire and replace the weather proof connector.  The system seems to be operating normally now.
