[HC]
What happens if a pair of CNTMT CEDM Normal ACU fans trips?
What position does the control switch need to be in?

“Normal After Stop” position
[HC]
CNT CEDM Normal ACU fan time delay purpose?
- Allows non-operating fans to come to a stop in case the back draft or suction damper were leaking which could cause the fans to spin backwards
[HC]
What happens to CNT CEDM Normal ACU during a SIAS?
-All operating fans stop,
(Restarted after placed in override)
How is the Containment CEDM Normal ACU affected by a LOP?
The pair of fans that was running prior to the LOP will be started by the load sequencer
