actions that result from a generator lockout
|
Unit Protection Relay Energized (Generator Lockout):
1) Output breakers trip open & Turbine trips. (SCRAM if >25%) 2) Exciter field breaker opens. 3) Unit Aux Bus (*1/*2) bus breakers trip open. Fast transfer occurs. 4) Recirc pumps trip (if powered from Unit Aux Trans). 5) Gen Voltage Regulator transfers to MANUAL. 6) SWC pps trip (If caused by 386CX or 386GX, Gen Diff OC, neutral OV/OC ONLY) 7) Main Transformer Cooling Units (Fans & Pumps) trip (386B/F ONLY) 8) Unit Aux Trans Cooling Units Trip (Fans & Pumps) (386 D/H ONLY) 9) Energize generator output breaker failure circuit. |
|
Fast Transfer
|
Fast transfer is initiated by a generator lockout.
If a generator lockout is initiated: • 11 (21) and 12 (22) bus breakers trip • The selected startup bus breaker closes o The startup bus breaker that closes is selected by a two position switch for each bus. The 11 unit aux bus has one switch with positions 10-11/20-11. If 10-11 selected, the 10-11 breaker closes. • Normally selected S/U sources: o 11 bus to 10 SU bus o 22 bus to 10 SU bus o 12 bus to 20 SU bus o 21 bus to 20 SU bus The fast transfer will not occur if the feeder bus has a fault, or feeder bus is < 95% rated voltage or if other source is still closed in. |
|
DC Distribution for aux power control power
|
(non-safeguard DC controls all 13.2KV breakers)

|
Emergency Stop for RFPT MSC control
|
When Emergency Stop is depressed, the control signal to the RFP immediately result in a speed demand of 0.0 RPM. IF the MSC control switch is taken to raise the speed signal will increase until it matches the actual speed of the RFP, at that time RFP speed will respond to the MSC control switch. Operationally the Emergency stop can be used to slow down feed to the vessel. It closes the control valves (uses Woodward to shut the control valves). To recover, simply press Auto Start, which will bring you back up to about 2000 rpm. If you tripped the turbine, you would have to reset the trips. Must manually raise to 2300 rpm. 2300 ~ 850#.

All final control elements start in manual mode • Loss of both *0C453 power supplies i. *0C453 RFP min flow control panel ii. HICs swap to manual iii. Minflow valves fail open, and will not respond to signal from HICs • Two of the four channels are powered by separate AC power (feeds A and B), and the other two are powered by the DC power • Level channel D transmitter is powered by both DC and AC feeds – see components above |
|
Recall the purpose of and the conditions causing a FWLC Scram profile and Transfer to Start Up Level Control, including the following:
a. Results of Scram profile. b. Reset of Scram profile b. Results of the Transfer to Start Up Level Control |
1) The profile predicts the steam production after a scram and controls feedwater flow in order to minimize the flow and reactor level transients
2) The profile is also designed to meet the relative runback in the reactor Recirc flow, minimizing thermal stress on the reactor internals caused by non-preheated feedwater 3) Activated by a signal from both RPS A and B 4) When SCRAM Profile is activated (light illuminated): a. T=0 to10 seconds Total Feedwater Flow is locked at it’s current value. b. T=10 seconds Total Feedwater Flow is lowered at a rate of rate of 6%/sec to a 10% Feedwater Flow demand c. 10% Feedwater Flow demand is maintained until Scram Profile is automatically reset d. If total feedwater flow is less than 10% when the scram occurs (low power scram) the feedwater flow demand is locked to its present value as long as the post scram profile signal is activated. No ramping is performed 5) A Failure of RPS to scram results in a failure of the SCRAM Profile even if ARI worked |
|
Recall the purpose of and the conditions causing a FWLC Scram profile and Transfer to Start Up Level Control, including the following:
b. Reset of Scram profile |
6) The SCRAM profile signal is reset automatically (light extinguished):
a. 20 seconds after SCRAM profile activated AND Reactor water level greater than 20" (I.E. it never went below 20" like on a Low power scram) OR b. Reactor water level has recovered from below 20” to greater than 20" OR c. SCRAM Profile has been activated for more than 2 minutes OR d. Reactor water level is greater than 39" OR At least one of the RPS channels is reset AND Reactor water level greater than 20" 7) When reset occurs an automatic bumpless transfer to single-element control occurs (single element is selected as total feedwater flow is less than 20%). The reactor water level setpoint ramps slowly from the low-level setpoint to the value set on the FWLC station This slow ramp is called Setpoint Setdown 8) The feedwater control system logic is designed so that whenever reactor level drops below 20" and then recovers above 20" a Setpoint Setdown will occur, regardless of if a valid SCRAM signal is present or not. The level setpoint will then ramp back up to 35" at a rate of 3.6 inches per minute. This may cause reactor level to lower a second time as the system demand will drop to zero when level is at the setpoint |
|
Recall the purpose of and the conditions causing a FWLC Scram profile and Transfer to Start Up Level Control, including the following:
b. Reset of Scram profile |
9) Post SCRAM actions
a. A RFP and one other RFP (B or C) are automatically run back to standby mode (2300 RPM min flow at 60%) b. In standby mode, RFP A is prepared for bypass control w/Startup Bypass Valve i. "A" RFP Discharge Valve HV-006-*08A is closed automatically ii. After the discharge valve is closed: "A" RFP speed increases to maintain a discharge pressure approximately 330 Psig above reactor pressure iii. Startup Bypass Stop Valve is opened automatically, and the Startup Bypass Valve is opened to 10% iv. Then the following occur simultaneously 1. Speed of one of the remaining RFPs is ramped down to standby mode 2. The Startup Bypass Valve opens slowly to maintain level |
|
DFWLC d/P Mode
|
a. This mode of operation works to always maintain the RFP discharge pressure above reactor pressure. As reactor pressure is increased during startup, the RFP will automatically increase in speed until it's dP is "adequate." At the same time, the *38A valve modulates open and closed based on reactor level
|
|
Condensate
Min recirc flow valve Purpose, Open, & Close |
Functions to ensure adequate condensate pump minimum flow. Ensure adequate condensate flow through the SJAE and SPE to condense the steam required for proper operation.
Valve will OPEN when the sum of condensate flow at the 3rd feedwater heater is less than the (7500 gpm) Valve will CLOSE on a low condensate header pressure condition (500psi) |
|
Condensate filter demins flow control in auto
|
Flow balancing system – maintains a balanced flow rate between the filters. Each vessel has a flow transmitter, controller and positioner that throttles the vessels outlet valve to a desired flow.
The master controller selects the highest signal (most flow restriction) of all vessels in AUTO and adjusts all signals to match until the most restricted filter is at 80% open. On a high influent to effluent header d/p (50 psid) the master controller signal to all vessels is isolated and all vessel outlet valves go to the full OPEN position. |
|
Condensate filter demins flow control in manual
|
In MANUAL operation – when the individual flow controller is taken to MANUAL, a solenoid repositions to shut off the air from the main controller so the master controller no longer sees this as the controlling vessel. And the vessels "E" valve will be controlled by that valves flow controller.
|
|
Condensate filter demin high DP setpoints and resulting actions
|
IF system DP > 50 psi – all valves ramp full OPEN
IF system DP > 54 psi – filter system bypass valve OPENS |

System Bypass valves 12" – (1 demin capacity) will auto open when system DP > 62 psi for 30 seconds 30" – (full system capcity) will auto open when system DP > 65 psi. |
|
Hotwell Level Control
|
Hotwell level control is designed to automatically maintain the desired hotwell level (42.25" to 50.25") via two reject valves (3" for fine control and 8" for coarse control) located downstream of the demins and two make up valves (2.5" for fine control and 8" for coarse control). The reject fine control valve is gagged to maintain constant reject flow of 200 gpm to support reject loads.
Both reject valves close on low condensate header pressure(500 psi) or high CST level (42') |

Effect of a Insturment air failure on condensate system
|
o Exhaust hood spray temperature control valve – fails closed
o Condensate drain tank level control valve – fails closed, overflows to CRW o Condensate minimum flow recirculation valve – fails open, desirable on SCRAM o Hotwell makeup and reject valves – fail closed, hotwell level rises (throttle makeup and reject valves to remedy) o Condensate filter demineralizer influent and effluent valves – fail as is o Condensate filter and deep bed demineralizer replenishment valves – fail closed |
