Q

Anti-Parallel Interlock

A

As soon as alternate supply breaker is closed, the normal supply breaker opens, and vice versa.

DOES NOT apply to the EDG breaker.

Q

SI EDG Breaker Interlock (if EDG is paralleled to bus)

A

When EDG in parallel with associated Safeguards bus (i.e. for testing) and an SI occurs, then the EDG breaker automatically opens, the EDG continues to run, and the bus will be powered by its preferred source.

Q

Non-Safeguards Bus Fast Transfer (Live Bus Transfer)

A

-0.25 seconds
-40° phase angle
-If alternate breaker doesn’t close in 0.25 sec, then slow transfer (dead bus transfer) will occur.

Q

Safeguards Slow Bus Transfer (Dead Bus Transfer)

A

-Voltage drops and normal breaker opens.
-As voltage continues to drop (approximately 70% of normal voltage) the BOS will actuate the Operator and Automatic Lockouts (OL and AL)
-As voltage continues to drop (approximately 30% of normal voltage) at this same time a 1 sec TDPU timer starts in order to start the EDG, a 0.3 sec TDPU timer starts to unload the bus and a permissive is set to allow the alternate power supply breaker to close.

Q

Safeguards 2nd Level Undervoltage Purpose

A

Protects AC system from sustained voltage degradation, specifically the class 1E motors are protected from potential damage due to low voltage/high current conditions.

Q

Safeguards 2nd Level Undervoltage Sequence

A

-If voltage is not returned to reset value within 1.9 sec (61.9 sec after initiating event) then the alternate feeder breaker is tripped open and/or blocked from closing thus causing a EDG start and sequencer
-In the event a SI occurs within the first 8 seconds timer is inserted into the circuit causing the normal feeder breaker to trip open sooner. If a safety injection is initiated during the interval from 7.5 seconds to 46 seconds, the trip cycle occurs immediately.

17
Q

Load Shedding (large loads)

A

-PD Pump
-Containment Recirculation Fans
-CRDM Vent Fans
-PZR Group C Heaters
-The components do not auto restart or continue to stroke when power is restored unless an auto signal is present for that component.

18
Q

If 6.9 kV buses fast or slow auto-transfer to alternate sources due to undervoltage, will they auto-transfer back when voltage returns to acceptable levels?

19
Q

RCP Breaker Trips

A

-Bus Undervoltage 4830V (0.5 Second Time Delay)
-Overcurrent (Hot Loop and Cold Loop positions)
-Locked Rotor/Failure to Accelerate (Disabled 30 seconds after RCP Start)
-Under Frequency 57.2 Hz (0.1 Second Time Delay)
-Thermal Overloads

20
Q

What is the RCP Hot/Cold Selector Switch?

A

Located on each breaker face allows the operator to select between a lower or higher overcurrent protection setpoint. This allows the operation of the RCP during COLD LOOP condition to have a higher overcurrent protection setpoint to compensate for the increased current draw due to the higher water density at low temperatures.

21
Q

What do 49 relays do on safety-related motors?

A

-Provide an alarm function only.
-49 Relay is thermal overload.

22
Q

How are 74 relays on non-safety 6.9 kV breakers reset?

A

To reset a 74 relay on the non-safety 6.9KV breakers, a key-operated reset mechanism at the breaker must be turned and pushed in.

(Safety-related loads will auto-reset the 74 relay after the condition clears)

23
Q

Safeguards Bus Lockouts

A

-86-1 (one good phase)
-86-2 (two good phases)
-EDG can bypass 86-2 to supply the bus if placed in Emergency Start (cannot bypass 86-1)

24
Q

What is the acceptable range for DG steady state voltage?
(TS 3.8.1 and associated SRs)

A

6480-7150 V
(TS 3.8.1 and associated SRs)

25
What do the sync scope lights indicate?
-lights off when ready to sync at 12:00 -lights get brighter as it gets farther from 12:00 (measures the voltage difference between positions, so farther out = higher voltage = brighter lights)
