EDGS Flashcards
What are the EDG Auto Starts?
- Load Shed (Loads to Bus)
- SI (does not load to bus)
If an EDG auto starts on a Load Shed, does it load to the TBUS?
Yes, it loads to the TBUS
If an EDG auto starts on a SI without a load shed, does it load to the TBUS?
No it does not auto load to the TBUS
What are the EDG Auto Trips (With DC Power)?
- Bearing Temp High
- Incomplete Start
- Gen Phase Overcurrent
- CO2 Actuation
- Fuel Oil Press Low
- Lube Oil Press Low
- Air Chest Press high
- Neutral Overcurrent
- Gen Phase Differential
- Electronic Overspeed (110%)
What are the EDG Trips available Without DC Power?
- Mechanical Overspeed (112% of 514 RPMs)
- Worthington/Manual Fuel Valve (MFV)
What are the only EDG TRIPS available after the EDG Auto Starts on an SI or Load Shed? (With 250 VDC Available)
- Gen Phase Differential
- Electronic Overspeed (110%)
- Manual Push Button
The starting Air Receivers are sized to do how many EDG starts?
Each tank has enough air to start the EDG 2 times and still have 100# for control air, even tho operability only requires 1 start
What are the EDG Starts?
- CR Control Switch
- Local Push Button
- Load Shed (loads to bus)
- SI (does not load to bus)
- Worthington/Manual Starting Air Valve (allows start during loss of 250VDC control power)
How do the starting air valves fail on a loss of 100# ctrl air?
Fail as is
What happens on a failure of the electronic governor?
EDG will speed up until Mechanical Governor takes over
set point for mech governor is 60.8-61 hz
Where does the field flash come from on a fast speed start?
From the 1kV inverter
Where does the field flash come from on a slow speed start?
From residual magnetism
From 1kV loads IF button is used to flash the field
What are the 1KV inverter Loads?
- Field Flash (Fast Start) (Slow Start if button is pushed)
- Bearing Temp Monitor (SG-40)
- Speed Transmitters
- Local/Remote Control Transfer Relays
How long does the Throttle Control Cylinder (TCC) extend for on a EDG Trip and why?
TCC will extend for 2 minutes on trip to prevent re-start of EDG
Will a EDG start with a loss of 100 psi Ctrl Air?
NO!
TCC extends on loss of 100 psi control air
it will trip if running, also
What causes Load Shed to be disabled?
EDG output breaker control switch is in close or lockout
When do run relays energize to allow power to bus?
At 95% running speed
start aux equip, input to load cons and provide interlocks/permissives
If an emergency start signal initiates at any time during the slow start, what will happen?
The slow start circuit automatically drops out and an emergency start takes place (Fast Speed)
Why do we have slow speed start circuitry?
It is easier on the EDG
Are the EDG trip relays energize or de-energize to trip?
Energize to Trip
