BOP/ESS Electrical Flashcards
Why are the EP breakers to the T-bus interlocked to prevent closure unless all other feeder breakers are open?
EP is 30 degrees out of phase with reserve feed and unit auxiliaries.
What is the maximum loading per unit and why?
600 amps
This coincides with the temp limit for the aluminum feeder cables.
What is the power source for the SDG output breaker trip coils and closing coils?
-48 VDC battery
-230 VAC powers the breaker closing coils
What is the power source for the 345kV yard breaker trip coils?
125 VDC battery (with two chargers) in the 345kV control house.
What is the power source for the 765kV yard breaker trip coils?
Two 125 VDC batteries (with two chargers) in the 765kV control house.
What is the power source for the 34.5kV breakers?
125 VDC battery (with two chargers) in the 345kV control house.
What is the power source for the EP breakers?
48 VDC in the SDG switchgear house.
What is the power source for the EP motor operated disconnect?
48 VDC in the SDG switchgear house.
What is the power source for the 4kV breakers (RCP bus feeder breakers)?
The associated train 250 VDC battery.
What is the power source for the 600V breakers (BMC and CMC)?
The associated train 250 VDC battery.
When will the 600V non-vital bus tie-breaker automatically close?
For a fault located on either transformer feeding the associated 600V non-vital bus.
When will the 600V non-vital bus tie-breaker NOT automatically close?
For a fault located on either associated 600V non-vital bus.
When would knife switches be openned to prevent the auto closure (fast-transfer) of the RAT’s?
- When a standing close signal from fast transfer exists and you want to control when the breaker closes.
- Conditions in which the anti-pumping circuit is energized without breaker closure and conditions now allow it to close.
What actions are required for a loss of U1 Main Transformer Cooling?
-Rapid Power Reduction to 50%.
- If cooling cannot be restored within 2 hours, TRIP the RX.
What actions are required if U1 Main Transformer Cooling is lost AND winding Hi-Hi temp is received?
- Rapid Power Reduction to 50%
- RX TRIP if >P-8 and winding temp >140C
What actions are required for a loss of U2 Main Transformer Cooling?
- Restore one cooling group immediately
OR - TRIP the RX
What is the power source for Main Transformer Cooling?
Train A 600V buses
(11/21C and 11/21D)
What are the SDG’s sized for electrically?
- For a SINGLE Units RCS inventory control, using a SINGLE train of equipment. (ESW, CCW, NESW, CCP, and CAC)
- Support RCS inventory control for 24 hours.
What is the SDG auto-start sequence?
- Powerlynx sense undervoltage on the 69kV EP system, and waits 150 seconds.
- Sends open signal to the MDS
- Verifies MDS is open and sends start signal to the SDG’s
- The first SDG to reach speed and voltage closes its output breaker.
- The remaining SDG auto synchronizes to the bus and closes its output breaker.
- Powerlynx then closes the tie-breaker to the station EP bus.
- Operator must manually close the EP breaker(s) to the T-buses.
Why must the SDG’s be in MANUAL when 69kV EP is being used to power the 4kV safety buses?
- Prevents overloading the SDG’s should 69kV EP be lost.
- If EP is powering the T-buses, then the EDG output breakers would be in PTL (defeats the load shed circuit).
- If EP is lost when load shed is defeated, the EP feeder breakers and all of the loads will remain on the T-bus(es).
- With the SDG’s in auto, they would start and tie to the T-bus(es) and overload.
