Exam 1 prep Flashcards
Weeks 1 and 2
Which non class but essential panels are load shed on SIAS(NOT on LOP)?
- NHN-M19, M-20, M-71, M-72 these panels are tripped on SIAS signal but are not shed on LOP.
What are the meaning of the following breaker indication lights?
Red:
Green:
Bright Green:
White:
Clear:
- Red: Breaker is CLOSED and continuity exists through the breaker trip coil
- Green: Breaker is OPEN and racked in
- Bright Green: Breaker TRIPPED on fault or in TEST position
- White: 86 Lockout is reset and has continuity
- Clear: Breaker closing springs are charged
Why do Train Bravo breakers have remote and local switches?
What position should they always be in?
Are the breaker protection trips still in effect?
- On “B” train breakers for control room fire. Separates the control circuits from the breakers.
- Remote and Local
- Breaker protection trips still will be in effect. (For example “B” CCP Suction Trip)
What is the PS to AFN-P01 including control power and what happens to the pump on a SIAS?
- Supplied by PBA-S03 and trips upon receipt of a SIAS (can be started by overriding)
- Receives control power directly from PK bus (norm) can be aligned to directly downstream from the “A” class battery charger (alt)
What is the PS to the A Normal Chiller?
What happens on a SIAS signal?
- PBA-S03
- Tripped upon receipt of a SIAS (Can be started by overriding)
What must be met to close PB class supply breakers?
- No Lockouts on the bus
- Synch Switch on (If from the CR)
- All other supply breakers open (If from the Switchgear)
- If closing the alternate supply breaker then DG breaker must be open to ensure not cross tying Class DG
What conditions must be met for the DG supply breaker to automatically close
on to PB bus?
- Normal and Alternate Supply breakers open
- NO Lockouts on the BUS (don’t confuse this with a transformer fault on just an ESF transfer fault the DG will start and load the PB Bus)
- DG at rated speed AND voltage
What happens if a lockout condition exists on the PB bus?
What operator actions if any are required?
- DG will start and DG breaker will not close therefore No Spray Pond Flow
- DG must be emergency stopped locally
A class 4160V breaker fully racked down renders adjacent breakers inoperable.
What must be done to prevent this?
- Must rack the breaker up from the floor ~ 1” OR
- Remove the breaker from the cubicle OR
- Use seismic restraints
Do class LC breakers have KKI’s?
Why or why not?
- NO
- Only 1 LC per each 4160 breaker
What will follow a trip of the class LC overcurrent relay?
- overcurrent relay trips BOTH:
- The LC Main Feeder breaker (B2)
- The 4.16 kV supply breaker
How does one reset class LC breakers in a lockout condition?
- From the control room by taking the switch to the trip position
- Locally at the breaker
What Undervoltage relays and trips exist on PB breakers?
-
4: Under Voltage relays @ <75%
- 727-1, 727-2, 727-3, 727-4
-
4: 90% degraded 30 sec delay
- 727-5, 727-6, 727-7, 727-8
-
2 of 4 relays needed to actuate a LOP
- But there is a catch………if the 2 relays are separated by 4 for example 727-1 & 727-5 or 727-2 & 727-6 they won’t cause a LOP
What are the operating characteristics of the controls associated with
NAN-S05 and NAN-S06?
- Controls are HARDWIRED
- Indications are MULTIPLEXED
- This means breaker control may still be available while breaker positions are not indicating. Or Vice Versa
What conditions will result in a WRF load shed?
Why?
- Degraded voltage as measured on (NAN-S05/S06 in UNIT 1)
- While simultaneously receiving a SIAS signal
- WRF breakers will open de-energizing WRF to prevent double sequencing
What are the requirements for a fast bus transfer on NAN-S01 and NAN-S02 from the UAT to NAN-S03 and NAN-S04?
- BUS XFR SWITCH must be in AUTO
- Generator Trip must have occurred
- Early “B” contact energized
- Synch Check is SAT
- NO BUS LOCKOUT
- Voltage is available on NAN-S03/S04
WHen would a coastdown trip occur?
What happens regarding NAN-S01 and NAN-S02?
- Coast down trip occurs:
- When the generator trips (On Reverse Power) concurrent with a loss of off-site power (Loss of Off-site power as sensed by NAN-S03/S04 voltage).
- Reactor Trip is also required
- When this happens there is nowhere for NAN-S01/S02 to receive power
- NAN-S01/S02 stay aligned to the UAT and sheds all breakers except RCP breakers
- Keeps RCPs running maintaining flow through the core
What are the conditions that would result in a fast transfer of NBN-S01 and NBN-S02 to the other train?
What loss would prevent this fast transfer from occuring?
- Normal Service Transformer fault
- Normal Supply Breaker Open
- Voltage sensed on opposite bus
- Synch Check SAT
- NO Lockout on either bus
- Loss of NKN-D41/D42 result in failure of fast bus transfer
Describe the synch switch positions and operational characteristics associated with a manual transfer of NBN-S01 NBN-S02?
-
3 position SYNC switch for the x-tie breaker:
- S01 XFER S02 XFER OFF
- MUST ALIGN THIS SWITCH TO THE BUS BEING TRANSFERRED
- After the Synch switch is properly aligned the x-tie breaker is taken to close. When the switch is released after the breaker is closed the switch will spring return to normal………when it goes back to normal it will open the normal supply breaker for the bus now being powered from the opposite XFMR
- For example when the X-tie breaker is closed with the synch switch in S02 XFER then when the breaker control switch is released NBN-S02 normal supply breaker will open.
- IF THIS SYNCH SWITCH IS MISALIGNED THEN THE WRONG SUPPLY BREAKER WILL GO OPEN CAUSING A LOSS OF BOTH BUSSES
- So to sum it up the synch switch position controls which normal supply breaker opens when the X-tie breaker is closed. So if you go through the OFF position after cross tying properly then that supply breaker will also open.
Do the Non class load centers operate with KKI’s?
Why or why not?
Yes.
- Prevents damaging the disconnect if it was operated under load.
Where are the nonclass MCC’s control power supplied from?
- MCC Control Power supplied by it’s on XFMR within the MCC bucket.
How many detector assy’s and what are their configuration, height position in the core?
-
61 incore detector assemblies
- Each assemble has 5 self-powered rhodium detectors
- Detectors are at 10, 30, 50, 70, and 90% of active core height
- Each assemble has 5 self-powered rhodium detectors
Why is there a full length background detector included in the ICI’s?
- It is assumed that part of the overall signal generated is not related to neutron flux at the detector, but to noise or background
- A full length signal wire is run alongside the detectors to measure current produced by the wire this signal is subtracted from the detector signal to determine true signal level.
What is the range of the included CET, what is it’s position in the detector assy, and how accurately does it read at normal power?
-
Process range: 200-2300F
- Does not read accurately at power due to neutron flux
