Narrative:

Departing mia for ajt flight #XXX, we set takeoff EPR (maximum) with air-conditioning packs off. Engine #3 egt was well into the yellow later in the takeoff roll and once airborne with the gear retracted I reduced the EPR to 2.0. The EPR remained unchanged and we then lost #3 generator followed by the strut overheat light and then the low oil pressure light. The first officer was flying, so I advised him the throttle was coming to idle and the engineer and I would proceed with the engine shutdown checklist. At this time I was handed off from tower to departure and advised them we needed to dump fuel, return for landing, and perform a precautionary engine shutdown. We requested and received vectors to dump fuel and advised ATC we needed to exceed 250 KIAS. (We flew 280 KIAS.) we secured the engine, completed dumping and an ILS to runway 27L at mia without further incidence. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated the engine loss of power was caused by a high pressured compressor disc or blade failure. The reporter said the failure was contained with the loss of a few blowout panels.

Title: A B727-200 ON CLBOUT AT 5000 FT, DECLARED AN EMER AND DIVERTED, DUE TO #3 ENG LOSS OF PWR CAUSED BY HIGH PRESSURE COMPRESSOR FAILURE.

Narrative: DEPARTING MIA FOR AJT FLT #XXX, WE SET TKOF EPR (MAX) WITH AIR-CONDITIONING PACKS OFF. ENG #3 EGT WAS WELL INTO THE YELLOW LATER IN THE TKOF ROLL AND ONCE AIRBORNE WITH THE GEAR RETRACTED I REDUCED THE EPR TO 2.0. THE EPR REMAINED UNCHANGED AND WE THEN LOST #3 GENERATOR FOLLOWED BY THE STRUT OVERHEAT LIGHT AND THEN THE LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT. THE FO WAS FLYING, SO I ADVISED HIM THE THROTTLE WAS COMING TO IDLE AND THE ENGINEER AND I WOULD PROCEED WITH THE ENG SHUTDOWN CHKLIST. AT THIS TIME I WAS HANDED OFF FROM TWR TO DEP AND ADVISED THEM WE NEEDED TO DUMP FUEL, RETURN FOR LNDG, AND PERFORM A PRECAUTIONARY ENG SHUTDOWN. WE REQUESTED AND RECEIVED VECTORS TO DUMP FUEL AND ADVISED ATC WE NEEDED TO EXCEED 250 KIAS. (WE FLEW 280 KIAS.) WE SECURED THE ENG, COMPLETED DUMPING AND AN ILS TO RWY 27L AT MIA WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENCE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR STATED THE ENG LOSS OF PWR WAS CAUSED BY A HIGH PRESSURED COMPRESSOR DISC OR BLADE FAILURE. THE RPTR SAID THE FAILURE WAS CONTAINED WITH THE LOSS OF A FEW BLOWOUT PANELS.
