Q

When is the Emergency Trip Pushbutton used to trip the Generator?

A
  • When a motoring condition exists.

- ** Do not use if steam is being applied to the turbine, it can overspeed it

Q

What energizes the Turbine Trip Relay (33VED) in U2 with no delay?

A
- 4/4 Stop valves or Ctrl Valves closed with one of each Reheat Stop/Intercept valves
AND 
- ALL of the following:
No RX Trip Bkrs open (P8)
No SI Signal
No Hi Hi SG Lvl (P14)
17
Q

Is cold gas temp kept hotter or colder than Stator Water?

A
  • Cold gas temp is kept 3-4°C colder than Stator Water to prevent condensation
18
Q

What prevents an inadvertent loss of excitation at power if the exciter field breaker was opened?

A
  • Generator breakers must be opened for the switch to open the exciter field breaker
19
Q

What should an Operator be concerned with prior to pushing the Emergency Unit Trip pushbutton?

A
  • Steam is isolated to the turbine to prevent a turbine overspeed
20
Q

What conditions would allow an immediate generator trip upon a Turbine trip?

A
  • A Turbine Trip occurs and the reactor trip breakers are closed and no SI or Hi-Hi SG level exists
21
Q

What controls Generator voltage when the Automatic Voltage Regulator is in automatic?

A
  • Generator terminal voltage sensed at the PT’s
22
Q

What is the purpose of the V/Hz relay?

A
  • Provide protection against overexcitation by actuation of an alarm and trip of the Overall HEA Differential relays.
23
Q

What allows manual control of Turbine speed with the Speed & Load Changer?

A
  • Turbine speed must be between 1790-1810 rpms and the Synch Selector switch must be in manual
24
Q

How are the U2 rectifiers cooled?

A
  • Natural Circ of Air
25
Q

How are the U2 Output bushing cooled?

A
  • Cooled by Stator Water
26
Q

How is U2’s Exciter powered?

A
  • By the Pilot Exciter (its a Permanent Magnet Generator (PMG))
  • TBG-BE (alt)
27
Q

What is the purpose of the thyrister converters on U2?

A
  • it changes the output of the pilot exciter to D.C.
28
Q

What is the flowpath of the U2 Main Generator?

A
  • Pilot Exciter (600v AC) –> Step Down Transformer (78v AC) –> Exciter Field Bkrs –> Voltage Regulators (v DC) –> Slip Rings –> Main Exciter (v AC) –> Field Rectifiers (v DC) –> Slip Rings –> Main Gen (AC) –> Main Transformer
