Q

How is a failure/deviation that affects JSCALOR different from one that affects NKBDELT?

A
  • If the deviation falls on JSCALOR then power will over the long term CALIBRATE to that deviation
  • If the deviation falls on NKBDELT or NKBTFSP
    • Instantly it will deviate BUT then JSCALOR will calibrate it back to previous value

26
Q

Where is NI control channels, used by RRS, sent throughout the plant?

A
  • Control Channel sent to the following:
    • DFWCS & SBCS
27
Q

What is used to generate Tref and what happens on a large deviation?

A
  • Tref
    • Goes linearly from about 564F to 587F BASED ON TLI
    • Tavg to Tref HI-LO ALARM is generated at >6F
28
Q

How is CEA movement demand generated from Tave-Tref?

A
  • A deviation of +/- 3F Tavg to Tref will cause LO rate CEA motion demand
  • @ 4.53F a high rate signal is generated
  • HIGH RATE INSERTION IS ONLY ONE AVAILABLE
    • If a high rate withdrawal demand is calculated then the HI RATE LIGHT will illuminate but the CEAs will only go out @ 3”/min
29
Q

When is a CEA demand removed?

A
  • CEA demand goes away @ 2.84F deviation
30
Q

How is power error used to generate a deviation for CEA demand?

A
  • Power Error
  • TLI is used to create a Tref to compare to Tavg. Makes sense. However, TLI is also compared to Control Channel output to create power error.
    • Each of these errors is sent to their own comparator.
    • Power error comparator is: RATE OF CHANGE
      • What this means to you is that this error can deviate and create a demand. However, unless it is continuously deviating, the demand for CEA movement will go away.
      • Example: Control channel fails high. @ a step change of 2.4% will cause a LO movement demand. @ a step change of 3.53% will cause a HI movement.
      • Because this is a rate of change only circuit, the failed deviation will still exist BUT CEAs WILL STOP MOVING
31
Q

How is temperature error used to generate a deviation for CEA demand?

A
  • Temperature error comparator is: INTEGRATION
    • Think of it like this: It will continuously try to get error < 2.84F so if an error exists CEAs will continuously move to correct the error
    • Example: If LOOP 1 is selected and the Th transmitter fails low artificially creating a low Tavg to Tref mismatch. CEAs will continuously move inward until CEDMCS is placed in standby.
32
Q

How does a control channel failing high @ 100% power affect RRS demand?

A
  • Control channel FAILING HIGH @ 100% power will cause a demand because CONTROL CHANNELS FAIL HIGH TO 125%
33
Q

How does a TLI or its inputs failing high at 100% power affect RRS demand?

A
  • TLI FAILS HIGH TO 125% however Tref is limited to 587F output, which is the 100% power TLI value.
34
Q

What ranges will the RRS temperature instruments fail?

A
  • ALL TEMP Failures are:
    • 500F LOW
    • 650F HIGH
