Exam 10 prep Flashcards
SBCS, BOP ESFAS, Instrument Air
What is the capacity of the SBCS?
Include each valve, what group it is and what shell they go to.
- Capacity:
- Can handle 56% Turbine Load Rejection W/O RPCB
- ~ 7% per valve

- Group X valve
- Goes to “A” Shell
-
SBCV 1004
- 25-50% Master controller output
- Group X valve
- Goes to “B” Shell
-
SBCV 1003
- 50-66.7% Master controller output
- Group X Valve

-
SBCV 1007 & 1008
- 83.3%-100% Master controller output
- Group “Y” Valves
- Both go to Atmosphere
What are the power supplies to SBCS?
-
NNN-D11 & NNN-D12
- Upon a Loss of Power to either one, the valves fail close. This is due to losing logic power supplies
- Cannot be operated in Manual or Auto
- NKN-D42
Powers the solenoid valves that supply air to the valves. They fail closed on a loss of NKN-D42
How does a loss of IA affect SBCS?
-
Loss of IA
- @ < 80 psig SBCVs FAIL CLOSED
How does the master controller come back from a loss of power?
-
System Restoration Following Loss of Power
- The master controller will be in MAN with 0% output.
How does a loss of vacuum affect SBCS?
How is the system restored from this condition?
-
Loss of Vaccum
- @ 5.5” HgA ON 2 OUT OF 3 LOGIC
- In this condition 1007 & 1008 are still available due to going to atmosphere.
- When vacuum is restored OPERATORS MUST MANUALLY RESTORE THE SYSTEM TO SERVICE BY:
- Taking the switch to RESET on B06 OR
- Depressing the EMERGECY OFF CONDENSER INTERLOCK RESET on the SBCS cabinet
State the function to SBCS that PT-1027 provides.
-
PT-1027
- PERMISSIVE
- If this fails low then a manual permissive can be inserted to allow the modulate to work in auto
State the function to SBCS that PT-1024 provides
-
PT-1024
- MODULATE
- Generates the modulate signal. If this fails then the system must be controlled manually
What does Modulate do in the SBCS system?
How is the modulate setpoint biased?
What is the controlling parameter?
- Modulate Compares the following:
- Setpoint:
- Generated by taking Steam Flow for SG 1 for a baseline setpoint.
- Must know that 1170 psig is the baseline pressure @ 0% Steam Load (Flow)
- Then it subtracts a BIAS to this setpoint based on 100X (PZR PT)
- UP TO 50 PSIG
- As Pressure goes up then the setpoint goes down
- @ 2250 psig BIAS is zero. Anything less than 2250 psig there will be no BIAS
- Only BIAS is >2250 psig (.2 psi change per 1 psi above 2250 psi)
- Generated by taking Steam Flow for SG 1 for a baseline setpoint.
- Controlling Parameter
- PT-1024 compared to the setpoint generated above and will build in a modulate demand based on deviation from setpoint
What does Permissive do in the SBCS system?
How is it biased?
What is the controlling parameter?
Permissive Compares the following
- Setpoint
- Generated by taking Steam flow for SG 2 as a baseline setpoint
- -20 psi from modulate (so permissive should come in first) must know that normal permissive is 1150 psig is the baseline pressure @ 0% Steam Load (Flow)
- Then it subtracts a BIAS to this setpoint based on 100Y (PZR PT)
- UP TO 50 PSIG
- As Pressure goes up then the setpoint goes down
- @ 2250 psig BIAS is zero. Anything less than 2250 psig there will be no BIAS
- Only BIAS is >2250 psig (.2 psi change per 1 psi above 2250 psi)
- Generated by taking Steam flow for SG 2 as a baseline setpoint
- Controlling Parameter
- PT-1027 compared to the setpoint generated above and will build in a IN or OUT permissive for all valves.
How is SBCS master controller cycled between R and L?
- Must have the Master controller in Manual when cycling between R/A and L/A
Is there a quick open feature if the master controller is not in R/A?
Is there a quick open feature for any individual valve that is not in auto?
- There is no Quick Open feature if the master controller is not in R/A
- There is no Quick Open feature for valves that are not in Auto
What must be present at the valve level to operate them in Local Auto?
-
Operating Valves in Local Auto
-
INDIVIDUAL VALVE CONTROLLERS MUST HAVE MANUAL PERMISSIVE IN
- If you were to not have a manual permissive on the valves then no matter what master controller output is the valve will not open. (Unless the entire system permissive is in)
- Only one bypass valve at a time should have a manual permissive when in Local Auto
-
INDIVIDUAL VALVE CONTROLLERS MUST HAVE MANUAL PERMISSIVE IN
Why is the permissive signal sealed in for 15 sec?
-
Permissive signals seal in for 15 SECS.
- Ensures permissive signal is present until demand has decayed away to prevent a quick close of valves
How does a failed HI Ppzr(PT-100X) affect the SBCS permissive setpoint?
-
If you have a failed HI 100X PT then you could end up “riding” on the permissive
- Because the modulate demand setpoint < permissive setpoint the master controller output builds up to 100% and then when the permissive finally comes in ALL VALVES WILL FULL OPEN for 15 SECS and then FULL CLOSE
How does the master controller tracking behave during a quick open event?
- During a Quick Open Master Controller setpoint goes to 83.3%. This allows for ease of transition will the Quick Open is over. Unless there is a QOB on Rx Trip or MFP Trip.
What actuates a Quick Open?
What will block a Quick Open?
-
Quick Open/Quick Open Block
- X1, Y1, RPCB-1
- 100X PZR PT going up with SG 1 Flow going down (Rate of change for both)
- X2, Y2, RPCB-2
- 100Y PZR PT going up with TLI going down (Rate of change for both)
- Must have all of the above occurring to actually get a Quick Open
-
Quick Open Block
- Everything blocked on Loss of FWP
- GRP-Y blocked on Rx Trip
- GRP-X blocked on Rx Trip w/ < 573.5F Tavg
- X1, Y1, RPCB-1
