Q

The ‘A’ DG is running with its output breaker PBA-S03B closed, loaded to 5.2 MW. PBA-S03 normal supply breaker PBA-S03L is closed. The CO places PBA-S03 alternate supply breaker PBA-S03K synch switch PBA-SS-S03K to ON and then places the breaker switch PBA-HS-S03K to CLOSE. Alternate supply breaker PBA-S03K will:
A. close. The DG supply breaker will open when the switch is released.
B. close. The normal supply breaker will open when the switch is released.
C. not close, because the normal supply breaker is closed.
D. not close, because the DG supply breaker is closed.

Q

What is different about ‘B’ train components and why?

A

‘B’ Train components necessary for safe shut down of the pant have local/local+remote switches to remove control room circuitry in the event of a control room fire. This is done to prevent spurious operations due to the fire.

Q

PBA-S03 is currently being powered from DGA and the CO is going to parallel across the breaker to NBN-X03. After the sync selector switch is enabled, which voltages are indicated by “running” and “oncoming?”

A

“Running” is the PBA-S03 voltage, “Oncoming” is the voltage at the output of NBN-X03. This often leads to confusion when performing this operation. Remember that PBA-S03 and PBB-S04 are always considered “Running” and never “oncoming.”

Q

PBA-S03 is being powered from the ‘A’ Diesel. The control room instructs the AO to close the PBA-S03 feeder breaker from NBN-X03. What will happen when the AO takes the CS-1 switch on the breaker cubicle to “shut?”

A

The breaker will not close as interlocks prevent paralleling power supplies locally.

Q

How does the operation of the Unit 1 class load center feeder breakers differ from those in the other two Units?

A

Due to initial plant design in Unit 1 where a SIAS load shed opened the LC feeder breaker and then sequenced it back on, an issue resulted in the breaker where the springs would not be sufficiently charged. Therefore, a jumper was installed to ensure the closing springs were charged under all conditions (vice just charging when the breaker opens).

34
Q

Typically in Class 480V Load Center Main Feeder Bkrs, the closing spring charges when the bkr is _____. However in U1, explain why a jumper was installed to charge the spring under all conditions.

A

Opened
The jumper is a holdover from early operation in U1. In the original design, the Class IE Load Centers were load shed on a SIAS and were then immediately sequenced back on. This resulted in the springs not being fully charged when called upon to reclose and restore power to the Class LCs.
(Class IE LCs no longer load shed)

35
Q

What are the conditions required to locally close the PBB-S04 normal supply breaker?

42
Q

A station blackout has just occurred, the SBOG has been started and placed on the class ‘A’ bus; 10 minutes later NBN-X03 suffers a ‘Sudden Pressure’ fault. Which bkrs immediately attached to the transformer would you expect to trip OPEN?

A

On a Sudden Pressure Relay (SPR), a lockout relay trips the x-former’s high side bkr at NAN-S03 and the low side bkr at PBA-S03 and PBB-S04 (tie bkr). If the SBOG is supplying the Unit, the supply bkr at NAN-S03AB would also trip.

43
Q

A

480 VAC power is provided to the Fuel Pool Cooling pump motors.

44
Q

How does the Class 1-E system support CVCS?

A
  • 480 VAC power is provided to the charging pumps and various MOVS.
45
Q

How does the Class 1-E system support Essential Cooling Water System?

A
  • 4.16 KV power is provided to operate the pump motors.
  • Loss of power may affect the ability to remove decay heat when shutdown (Shutdown Cooling) and renders the Essential Chillers for the affected train inoperable.
46
Q

How does the Class 1-E system support Auxiliary Feedwater System?

A
  • 4.16 KV power is supplied to two motor driven Aux Feed Pump Motors. (AFN-P01 and AFP-P01).
  • 480 V power is supplied to the associated MOVs and essential ACUs.
  • Loss of power depends on the redundancy of the system (opposite train or Steam Driven Aux Feedwater Pump)
47
Q

How does the Class 1-E system support Essential Chilled Water System?

A
  • 4.16 KV and 480 VAC power is provided to operate the Essential Chillers.
  • Loss of power will prevent the safety related motors from operating indefinitely due to inadequate room cooling.
48
Q

How does the Class 1-E system support HVAC Equipment?

A
  • 480 VAC power is provided to:
    • ContainmentNormal Air Condition Unit (ACU) Fan
    • Control Element Drive Mechanism (CEDM) Normal ACU
      Fan.
    • Control Room Essential Air Handling Unit (AHU)
49
Q

A

480 VAC power is provided to two banks of class backup heaters.

50
Q

What does the “Phase and Ground Overcurrent” protection on the ESF Service Transformer monitor?

A

The secondary (wye connected) winding of the ESF transformers has a ground attached to its neutral. This ground is monitored for excessive current and, when detected, initiates a lockout.

51
Q

What are the trips for the LC Motor Feed Bkrs?

A

These bkrs are equipped with solid state overcurrent trip devices (long and instantaneous elements).
Solid state ground fault relays are also provided for ground fault protection.

NOTE: Both an overcurrent and ground fault will energize a lockout relay which will prevent re-closing this bkr until reset. The lockout relay can be reset locally (manually) and from the remote control location (i.e. CR or 120’ Fuel Bldg for a PC pump).

53
Q

The PHA-M31 supply bkr has tripped on a solid state overcurrent trip. Where can the lockout relay be reset from?

A

The lockout relay for an MCC Feed Bkr can only be reset manually at the LC.

NOTE: this differs slightly from LC Main and LC Motor Feed Bkrs; both of these bkrs can be reset from the CR (electrically) and locally at the LC (manually).

54
Q

Describe the method of cooling for the ESF Service Transformers (NBN-X03 and X04) and state the temperature at which all 4 fans turn on (if in AUTO).

A

FA/OA type (Forced Air/Oil Air), meaning air is blown across cooling fins filled with oil. This arrangement sets up a natural circulation of cooling oil.
Fans turn on when winding hot spot temp reaches 70C.

55
Q

The following description identifies what type of ESF Service Transformer Protection:
Monitors current leaving NAN-S03 and compares it to the value being supplied to PBA-S03 and PBB-S04 (tie bkr). A difference would indicate either a x-former OR bus differential condition.

A

Transformer Differential

56
Q

When excessive current is detected on the neutral of the Class 480VAC transformer, the overcurrent relay will trip …

A

BOTH the LC Main Feed and the 4160V supply bkr in order to isolate the transformer.

Where can the lockout relay for the 480VAC LC Main Feed Bkrs be reset from?

A
Locally (manually)
Control Room (electrically)
58
Q

How does the Class 1-E system support Diesel Generator support equipment?

A

480 VAC power is required to safely operate the D/Gs. Loads include fuel oil pumps, ventilation fans and lube oil pumps.

59
Q

A protective relay has just caused a lockout of the bus feeder bkr on PBB-S04, the ‘B’ DG has started but has failed to close in on the bus after 10 seconds. What is the most likely reason for the DG bkr failing to close on the bus?

A

The lockout relay on the bus feeder bkr not only trips that bkr, but also PREVENTS closing the other supply bkrs. This action prevents a D/G from closing in on a faulted bus.
