SSPS Flashcards

1
Q

What does Redundancy do for us and what are examples?

A

Single failures neither cause nor prevent Rx Trip/ESF Actuation

Redundant sensors and independent channels with a coincident trip

Q

What does Independence do for us and what are examples?

A

Train separation.

Separate sensors with separate: power supplies, racks, panel mounted equipment and relays for actuation of protective functions.

Q

What does coincidence mean?

A

Meets single failure criteria such that reliability is ensured and allows in-service testing. Requires minimum logic to produce output functions.

Q

What is the purpose of Test Injection Switches?

A

Disconnects Xmitter, connects to test input jacks for the Xmitter

17
Q

What is the purpose of Bistable Test Switches?

A

Switch to TEST when instrument fails.

Gives SSPS the trip signal

For CTS, Bistables are bypassed

18
Q

What is the purpose of RPS BYPASS SWITCHES?

A

Puts power to logic cabinet regardless of input, allowing you to test the input drawer (using bistable test switch) without chance of causing an actuation.

You never get a trip signal.

19
Q

What is the purpose of OUTPUT MODE SELECTOR SWITCH?

A

TEST- disables all slave relays for an entire train by replacing 120 VAC Slave Relay power with 15 VDC

(operated for SSPS testing)

20
Q

What is the purpose of INPUT ERROR INHIBIT SWITCHES?

A

Removes grounds from all input relay contacts.

Keeps universal logic cards from sensing a change in input.

21
Q

What happens with the MULTIPLEXOR TEST SWITCH in Normal?

A

Sends signals to PPC and Control Boards

22
Q

What happens with the MULTIPLEXOR TEST SWITCH in Inhibit?

A

Inhibits data output from train in test

23
Q

What happens with the MULTIPLEXOR TEST SWITCH in A+B?

A

Alternately inhibits data of one train

24
Q

What does the MULTIPLEXOR “do”?

A

NOTHING

Goes to Status Lights, Alarms and PPC

25
Q

What do the Isolation Amplifiers do?

A

Ensures failure in ctrl system does not propagate to protection system and physical separation by placing in separate ctrl group racks

26
Q

What does the Rx Trip Breaker Trip Coil do?

A

Trips breakers when ENERGIZED

27
Q

What does the Rx Trip Breaker UV Coil do?

A

From UV Coil driver in Logic Cab

Trips when 48vDC from SSPS is lost

28
Q

Does the Rx Trip Breaker UV Coil need control power?

A

NO

29
Q

What does the Rx Trip Breaker Shunt Coil do?

A

Same actuation method as UV

Gives power to trip bkr to make it trip

30
Q

Does the Rx Trip Breaker Shunt Coil need control power?

A

YES

31
Q

Do Rx Trip Bypass Breakers have SHUNT Coils?

A

NO

32
Q

What happens if both Rx Trip Bypass breakers are in closed?

A

Trips Bypass Breakers

33
Q

What are Input Bay Direct Feeds powered from?

A

SSPS Input Bays

34
Q

What are indirect feeds from the Input Bay powered from?

A

Protection Racks

35
Q

What are the inputs to OTΔT?

A

ΔT
Tave
AFD
Pzr Press

36
Q

What does OTΔT protect from?

A

DNB

37
Q

What rare the inputs for OPΔT?

A

ΔT

Tave

38
Q

What does OPΔT protect from?

A

KW/ft
