undervoltage auxiliary relay on October 19, 2012 at
2324 hours0.0269 days <br />0.646 hours <br />0.00384 weeks <br />8.84282e-4 months <br />. At the time of he event, Unit 2 was in Mode 6, Refueling. The 2B
DG was undergoing the completion of a monthly surveillance and was operating in parallel with the offsite power, when the 2B
DG changed from the test mode to the emergency mode. The offsite feed to the bus (ACB 2422) tripped, and the 2B
DG load increased to carry the bus. Proper operation of the 2B
DG was verified, and expected train equipment loaded and functioned successfully. The potential cause is attributed to a spurious actuation of the
undervoltage auxiliary relay. This condition was entered into the corrective action program.
