EHC Flashcards
Which one of the following turbine trips directly actuates the EHC Emergency Trip Solenoid Valve 20/ET? (Assume all trip functions perform as designed) A. Low vacuum. B. Reactor Trip. C. Turbine No-load. D. Thrust Bearing.
D. Thrust Bearing.
Which ONE of the following describes the function of the Auto Stop Oil Interface
Valve?
A. Provides a backup oil supply to the Air Side Seal Oil System in the event of low
level in the Generator Loop Seal Drain Tank.
B. On an increasing auto stop oil pressure (greater than 45 psig) the interface valve
closes to admit operating air to the extraction steam bleeder trip valves.
C. On a decreasing auto stop oil pressure (less than 45 psig) the interface valve opens
to dump EHC fluid to drain thus closing the main turbine stop, governor, intercept,
and reheat stop valves.
D. On a main turbine speed increase to 103% the Auto Stop Oil Valve opens to drain
EHC fluid from the Intercept and Reheat Stop Valves to prevent a main turbine
overspeed condition.
C. On a decreasing auto stop oil pressure (less than 45 psig) the interface valve opens
to dump EHC fluid to drain thus closing the main turbine stop, governor, intercept,
and reheat stop valves.
Which ONE of the following describes the function of the Auxiliary Governor Trip
Solenoid Valves (20-1/AG and 20-2/AG)?
A. Provides a backup for the 20 ET Emergency Trip Solenoid by providing an alternate
path for draining EHC fluid from the Main Turbine Stop, Governor, Intercept, and
Reheat Stop valves.
B. Provides a backup for the Auto Stop Oil trip by providing an alternate path for
draining EHC fluid from the Main Turbine Stop, Governor, Intercept, and Reheat
Stop valves.
C. Open when the main turbine speed increases to 103% to drain EHC fluid from the
Main Turbine Stop, Governor, Intercept, and Reheat Stop valves.
D. Open when the main turbine speed increases to 103% to drain EHC fluid from the Main Turbine Governor Valves and Intercept Valves to prevent a main turbine overspeed condition.
D. Open when the main turbine speed increases to 103% to drain EHC fluid from the Main Turbine Governor Valves and Intercept Valves to prevent a main turbine overspeed condition.
A. INCORRECT. 20 ET trips are direct EH fluid trips and do not have a backups.
The 20 ET trip solenoid is activated by a low Auto Stop Oil pressure (45 psig).
B. INCORRECT. Pressure switch in auto stop oil header (63-2 AST) low pressure
(45 psig) will cause the 20 ET solenoid to open therefore providing a backup to
the Auto Stop Oil trip as one of its functions.
C. INCORRECT. The 20-1/AG and 20-2/AG Aux Trip Solenoids drain the EHC oil
from ONLY the Main Turbine Governor and Intercept Valves.
D. CORRECT. The 20-1/AG and 20-2/AG Aux Trip Solenoids drain the EHC oil
from ONLY the Main Turbine Governor and Intercept Valves. When Turbine
speed is lowered, these valves close and allow the EHC oil pressure to build
back up allowing the Main Governor and Intercept valves to re-open.

D. Low-Low level in the EHC reservoir.
The following plant conditions exist:
-The Plant is operating at 100% power
-Due to a turbine high vibration condition, the reactor is manually tripped from panel
C-02 but the Main Turbine does not trip
-The Control Operator attempts to trip the turbine from panel C-01 but is not successful
Which one of the following actions will immediately trip the turbine under these
conditions?
A. Close the MSIVs using the control switch(es) on panel C-02.
B. Trip the operating EHC Pump, P-19A/B, on panel C-01.
C. Push the Reactor Trip pushbutton on panel C-06.
D. Open both Main Generator breakers (25F7 and 25H9) on panel C-01.
A. Close the MSIVs using the control switch(es) on panel C-02.
During 100% power operation one of the two operating Cooling Tower Pumps trip.
A rapid power reduction has been commenced per ONP26 as directed by ONP-14.
The Turbine Operator has elected to use the “Runback To 50%” option for reducing
Main Turbine load.
During the Runback the Turbine Operator notes the “HOLD” push button on the DEH
Operator Console is illuminated. Turbine power is 99% when the HOLD light
illuminated condition is noted.
The reason the “HOLD” pushbutton light is illuminated is that:
A. The runback has stopped and will not restart until the SETTER is adjusted.
B. Runback was selected while the Turbine control was in the MANUAL mode.
C. The light is illuminated in RUNBACK when ACTUAL is different from SETTER.
D. The attempt to initiate RUNBACK to 50% while in AUTO has failed.
C. The light is illuminated in RUNBACK when ACTUAL is different from SETTER.
A. INCORRECT. “RUNBACK” is a function of the Operator AUTO program. The
Setter does not have to be adjusted when the “Runback” option is selected.
This light is illuminated when ACTUAL is different from SETTER during
RUNBACK. It is a normal condition during RUNBACK and is expected.
B. INCORRECT. The Turbine must be in AUTO mode in order to select either
RUNBACK to 5% or Runback to 50%. RUNBACK is not available when in
MANUAL mode.
C. CORRECT. “RUNBACK” is a function of the Operator AUTO program. This
light is illuminated when ACTUAL is different from SETTER during RUNBACK.
It is a normal condition during RUNBACK and is expected to illuminate when the
ACTUAL turbine load becomes less than the load indicated in the SETTER.
D. INCORRECT. This is an expected condition for RUNBACK when the ACTUAL
load is different from the load indicated by the SETTER.
Given the following conditions:
-Plant is at 100% power.
-The EHC Lo Lo Level Lockout Solenoid (20/LFT ) has actuated.
-The running EHC Pump has tripped due to overcurrent.
-EHC pressure is 1700 psi and lowering.
-EHC pump configuration was one pump running and one in standby prior to the
failure.
What is the effect of this malfunction on plant operation?
A. 20/AST requires EHC pressure to activate. Use the MSIVs to trip the Turbine.
B. Low EHC pressure will cause the Interface Valve to open resulting in a Turbine trip.
C. The Emergency Trip solenoid (20/ET) will not function due to low EHC pressure.
D. Turbine valves will close as EHC pressure continues to lower.
D. Turbine valves will close as EHC pressure continues to lower.
The Plant is at 100% power.
SOLA Transformer, X-95, has been de-energized due to a problem with the transformer.
EK-0318, “TURBINE PANEL TROUBLE” has just annunciated.
The Operator checks the EH Priority 3 Alarms and finds that the alarm “UPS On bat” has annunciated.
The Auxiliary Operator sent to check the Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) reports
the “NORMAL” and “BATTERY” lights are flashing.
What is the consequence of having a UPS problem concurrent with a loss of SOLA transformer X-95?
A. The manual overspeed trip in the Main Turbine pedestal is the only overspeed protection if the UPS battery fails.
B. Alarm EK-0102, “TURBINE OVERSPEED TRIP” is lost if both DPU-2 and DPU-52 are reenergized.
C. Loss of both Overspeed Protection cabinets, DPU-2 and DPU-52, will result in a Main Turbine trip.
D. If DPU-2 power is interrupted, the turbine “Runback” feature is no longer available
for a plant emergency down power.
C. Loss of both Overspeed Protection cabinets, DPU-2 and DPU-52, will result in a Main Turbine trip.
PROVIDE copy of SOP-B, Attachment 16, with this question. SOP-8, Attachment
16; SOP 8; LP-EHC, Rev 17; ARP-2, Attachment 1; ARP-1.
A. INCORRECT. A loss of power from the UPS batteries concurrent with SOLA
XFMR O.O.S. results in a loss of power to both OPC units (DPU-2 and DPU-52).
De-energizing both DPU-2 and DPU-52 result in a turbine trip.
B. INCORRECT. EK-0102 is initiated by 63/AST-1 on the AUTO Stop Oil system.
It is not associated with the DEH cabinet overspeed trips.
C. CORRECT. Loss of both DPU-2 and DPU-52 result in a DEH trip of the Main
Turbine. Loss of both of these units, which would occur if power is lost from
both L-81 and L-83, result in a total loss of Overspeed protection from the DEH
System, therefore the turbine trips.
D. INCORRECT. The turbine Runback feature is part of the DEH Operator AUTO
control and is not affected by the OPC cabinet power supply problem.

B. Generator Bearing Oil Lift Pump (P-2S) automatically STARTS as turbine speed
reduces to 600 RPM.

pressure between Air Side and Generator Gas pressure (DPT-SOOS).
D. Unit Emergency Turbine Trip pushbutton on Panel C-01 is FLASHING.
B. Generator Bearing Oil Lift Pump (P-2S) automatically STARTS as turbine speed
reduces to 600 RPM.
