3807 Flashcards
Where is the APHB powered from?
1-HPU-11B-1M, which is supplied from 600VAC Bus 11BLC.
What is the max fuel burn rate for the APHB?
210 gal/hr.
What type of tubes does our current APHB have?
Fire Tube.
What are the advantages of the Fire Tube over the Water Tube?
Portable.
Requires less space.
Contains a larger volume of water for its size.
What are the disadvantages of the Fire Tube vs the Water Tube Boilers?
As steam pressure rises, temperature rises.
A sudden drop in pressure w/o a drop in temperature could result in explosion.
What are the APHB trips?
Loss of fuel oil pressure. Loss of combustion air. Loss of atomizing air. Low water level. High steam pressure. Loss of pilot or main flame.
What are the different modes of the APHB?
In Service (M/S Switch in Auto).
Standby (M/S Switch in Low Fire Hold).
Wet Layup.
Shutdown (M/S Switch in OFF).
When should you expect to see the APHB in Wet Layup?
During the summer months as long as the Auto Air Vent Assembly is installed.
For the APHB Feed Pump what are the three Control Switch positions and their corresponding functions?
Auto: Feed Pump runs continuously.
Off: Feed Pump is off.
Hand: Feed Pump runs as needed.
What provides the steam for the preheating in the Receiver Tank?
Steam from the APHB.
What are the two ways to blowdown the APHB?
Bottom (Prefered): Only performed with the APHB shutdown to ensure the safety of the Chem Techs obtaining the samples.
Surface: Performed when the APHB should not be shut down. However, is significantly less affective in removing debris.
Who should be notified prior to placing the APHB in service?
Storeroom
Environmental
Chemistry
What the Drum Pressure range the APHB will maintain when in service?
70-110 psig.
What needs to be met before the burner management system will proceed?
All of the safety conditions.
What are the first 3 steps of the Automatic Startup Sequence of the APHB?
Verifies adequate drum level.
Verifies Oil Proof of Closure Light is lit (Fuel Oil valves are closed).
Fresh Air Louvers open.
What are the second 3 steps of the APHB Automatic Startup Sequence?
Checks Water Limits Light lit (adequate drum level, fire suppression system ready, emergency switch pulled out, Fresh Air Louvers open)
Call for Heat if necessary (Water Limit Light lit with pressure less than 70 psig).
Combustion Fan commences purge cycle and the Air Damper goes full open.
What are the third 3 steps of the APHB Automatic Startup Sequence?
When the purge cycle is complete (Air Damper repositions to off, Fuel Oil Valve closes, Atomizing Air Compressor starts).
Ignition Transformer energizes.
Pilot Valves Open.
What are the remaining steps of the APHB Automatic Startup Sequence?
Fire scanner verifies flame present.
Ignition Transformer de-energizes.
Main Fuel Oil Valves Open.
Pilot Valves Close.
What safety switches will the burner attempt to relight after opening and reclosing?
Primary Low Water.
Primary High Pressure.
Modulating High Pressure.
What are the opacity limits of the APHB exhaust?
6 minute average of 20% or less. Except for one 6 minute average of 27% or less per hour. Otherwise NO BLACK SMOKE!
What are the new annual checks for the Traveling Water Screens?
No large gouges on the friction strips that would indicate material loss. A flat (non-tapered) outside edge of the friction strip. A 1/2” overlap of the mating surface between the friction strip and the screen frame. Less than 1/4” gap between the frame and the friction strip with no gaps between panels.
What are the normal trips on the EDGs?
Bearing Temperature High, Incomplete Start, Generator Phase Over current, CO2 Acuation, Fuel Oil Pressure Low, Low Lube Oil Pressure, Air Chest Pressure High, Neutral Over current, Generator Phase Differential, Electronic Overspeed.
What are the trips for the EDGs under emergency conditions?
Generator Phase Differential, Electronic Overspeed, Manual CR or Local Emergency Pushbutton.
What are the trips on the EDGs after a loss of DC?
Mechanical Overspeed and the Worthington Trip Knob.
Describe the electrical flow path of the Main Generator and Excitation system.
Pilot Exciter/Alt Supply, Excitation Transformer, Exciter Field Breakers, Voltage Regulators (Converters), Exciter Collectors and Brush Assemblies, Main Exciter, Generator Field Rectifier Assembly, Generator Collector Ring and Brush Assembies, Main Generator, Generator Stator, Generator Output Bushings, Main & Aux Transformers.
How do you locally trip the Exciter Field Breaker?
Obtain the keys to the cabinet on the 609’ Generator Area from the Shift Manager’s Office, and push the trip pushbutton once you’re in the cabinet.
What is the outlet voltage of the Unit 2 Pilot Exciter?
~575 VAC
A loss of hydrogen pressure would result in overheating of which component of the Unit 2 Main Generator?
Rotor
Main Generator Voltage is controlled by adjusting the…
Main Exciter Field
The Main Exciter is cooled by circulating…
Air cooled by TACW.
With the Unit 2 Main Turbine on turning gear and generator hydrogen pressure at 60 psig, what should the flow rate through the GCM be? Why?
0, because flow is due to the fans on the rotor.
A red lamp on the Unit 2 Field Rectifier panel indicates:
A blown rectifier fuse.
The control room has asked you to verify Unit 2 Pilot Exciter voltage is acceptable. Where is the indication located?
609’ on the Excitation Control Terminal (ECT) (Start Status is a Green “OK”)
The Control Room has asked you to verify a “Generator Internals Overheated” alarm. You confirm this by verifying the local indication for:
Generator Condition monitor current output is les than 50%.
The failure of which ONE component would prevent any operation of the Main Generator?
An Exciter slip ring.
