4.6 EMERGENCY POWER SYSTEM PERIODIC TESTS Applicability: Applies to periodic testing and surveillance requirement of the emergency power system.

Objective: To verify that the emergency power system will respond promptly and properly when required.

Specification:

The following tests and surveillance shall be performed as stated:

4.6.1 Diesel Generators

a. Manually-initiate start of the diesel generator, followed by manual synchronization with other power sources and assumption of load by the diesel generator up to the name-plate rating (3000 kw). This test will be conducted every month on each diesel generator. Normal plant operation will not be effected.

b. Automatically start and loading the emergency diesel generator in accordance with Specification 4.5.1.1.b/c including the following. This test will be conducted every refueling interval on each diesel generator.

(1) Verify that the diesel generator starts from ambient condition upon receipt of the ES signal and is ready to load in < 10 seconds.

(2) Verify that the diesel block loads upon simulated loss of offsite power in :

30 seconds.

(3) The diesel operates with the permanently connected and auto connected load for > 5 minutes.

(4) The diesel engine does not trip when the generator breaker is opened while carrying emergency loads.

(5) The diesel generator block loads and operates for 2, 5 minutes upon reclosure of the diesel generator breaker.

c. Deleted.

4.6.2 Station Batteries

a. The voltage, specific gravity, and liquid level of each cell will be measured and recorded:

(1) every 92 days (2) once within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after a battery discharge <105 V (3) once within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> after a battery overcharge >150 V (4) If any cell parameters are not met, measure and record the parameters on each connected cell every 7 days thereafter until all battery parameters are met.

b. The voltage and specific gravity of a pilot cell will be measured and recorded weekly. If any pilot cell parameters are not met, perform surveillance 4.6.2.a on each connected cell within 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> and every 7 days thereafter until all battery parameters are met.
