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* (195°F or 175@10°F/min
- Incomplete Start
- Gen Phase Overcurrent
- CO2 Actuation
- Fuel Oil Press Low* (10 psig)
- Lube Oil Press Low * (25 psig)
- Air Chest Press high (25 psig)
- Neutral Overcurrent
- Gen Phase Differential
- Electronic Overspeed (110% 565 rpm)
*Enabled at 95% speed
What are the EDG Trips available Without DC Power?
- Mechanical Overspeed
- 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
(Control Switch HELD in Stop)
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
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 (MSAV/Worthington) (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 loss of the electronic governor?
- EDG will speed up until Mechanical Governor takes over
* * Mechanical governor is the back up to Electronic governor, set point for mechanical governor is 61 Hz (523 RPM)
Where does the field flash come from on a fast speed start?
- Field flash comes from 1kV inverter
Where does the field flash come from on a slow speed start?
- Field flash comes from residual magnetism
At what percentage of rated speed does the field flash stop on a fast speed start?
- 80% speed stops field flash during fast speed start
What are the 1KV inverter Loads?
- Field Flash (Fast Start) (Slow Start if button is pushed)
- Bearing Temp Monitor
- 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# Ctrl Air?
No, because if 100 # (control air) system is lost, TCC extends on loss of air
How can a load shed signal be disabled?
-When the EDG output breaker control switch is in close (lights off) or lockout (lights won’t turn off)
When do run relays energize and what functions do they perform
Run relays energize at 95% running speed.
- Start support equipment
- Interlock for output breaker closure
- Disable incomplete start circuit
- De-energizes starting air valves SV-1 and SV-2
- Input to load conservation circuit
What is disabled on a Slow Speed Start?
- Jet Assist
- Field Flash
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)
