255
Q

How does NAN-S07 switchgear receive its control power ?

A

125VDC battery charger supplies D-panel. Then power is supplied to battery and distributed as control power

256

When would SBOG be paralleled with offsite power ?

A

Usually done for testing purposes

257
Q

What island/utility switch ?

A

Island mode- Sets SBOG in isochronous and only used during station blackout
Utility mode-Sets SBOG speed control system to droop and used when paralleling with offsite power

258
Q

What happens if voltage difference is to big when paralleling two power sources ?

A

Arc will trip open breaker on an over current breaker

259
Q

What is syncroscope used for ?

A

-Analogue meter to display difference in phase angle when paralleling two power sources
-The greater the difference the faster needle will rotate

260
Q

Which way do you want the synchroscope to spin when paralleling SBOG with offsite power?

A

Rotate slowly in the Fast direction, this is to prevent reverse powering and to allow SBOG to pick up load

261
Q

What does the synchronizing relay do ?

A

Protects generator output breaker from being closed when two power sources are out of phase

262
Q

What’re the two lights next to synchroscope used for ?

A

Indications whether two power sources are in phase
In-Phase- light will be out
Out of phase - light will be bright

263
Q

Island mode:Real Power, Reactive power

A

-Real power, reactive power, and power factor are all functions of loads connected to bus
-changing frequency set point of generator, while in island mode, will adjust speed of SBOG
-Changing voltage set point of generator, while in island mode, will adjust Bus Voltage

264
Q

What will happen when changing frequency set points whil in utility mode?

A

Will adjust real load being carried by SBOG

265
Q

What will happen when changing voltage set point of SBOG, while in Utility mode ?

A

Reactive load(KVAR) being carried by SBOG

266
Q

What is the power factor ?

A

Ratio between kilowatts and kilovolts amps that is drawn from electrical loads

267
Q

What’re the power factor is displayed on an analogue meter with markings ?

A

.5 lagging, 1.0unity, .5leading

268
Q

What is island mode power factor determined by ?

A

Determined by connecting loads

269
Q

How is power factor adjusted while in utility mode connected to offsite power ? What should it be maintained in ?

A

-Power factor controlled by controlling voltage of generator
- Should be maintained between .85-.9lagging

270
Q

What is power factor controlled by when SBOG is paralleled with unit DG ?

A

Power factor is controlled by the Main Control Room operator by adjusting DG voltage

271
Q

Why must SBOG be aligned to NAN-S07 switchgear within 15 minutes ?

A

-During a unit blackout to support coping loads
-During loss of power to the SBOG Control Equipment
Necessary because SBOG batteries qualified for one hour, aligning SBOG to NAN-S07 will ensure that SBOG will support a unit that may experience a blackout

272

What’re the enclosure fans powered from ?

A

NHN-M73

274
Q

How do you verify that the enclosure fans are running ?

A

Uses sensing point which detects voltage supply from NHN -M73 to the 24VDC battery chargers, if charging voltage is sensed then it means enclosure fans are running

275
Q

When there is an actual loss of power to NHN-M73(blackout affecting unit 1 or loss of power to NHN-M56)

276
Q

What is sequence of operation when NHN-M73?

A

1.)SBOG starts within one hour
2.)output breaker will be closed within 15 minutes of its “ready to load”
3.)Static transfer switch to automatically transfer to emerg. Supply (NAN-S07)
4.) supply power to NHN-M73

277
Q
