RAI 1

On Page 2 of Attachment I of the LAR, in regards to SR 3.8.1.8, the licensee stated that the loads under accident and loss of offsite power (LOOP)conditions are sequentially connected to the bus by automatic load sequencers.

Provide a description of the automatic load sequencers with details such as, the number of sequencers providedper diesel generator (DG)or per safety-relatedbus and logic diagrams of the sequencers. Also, provide a table of load sequencing for the LOOP conditions for each DG (similar to Table 8-7 for accident conditions in the Calvert Cliffs Updated FinalSafety Analysis Report).

CCNPP Response 1:

There is one load sequencer per safety-related bus. The logic diagram for the Engineered Safety Features Actuation System is contained in Enclosure 1. This logic diagram includes the logic details for the accident (loss-of-coolant incident, called the LOCI sequencer) and shutdown sequencer. The accident and shutdown sequencers are one module. Different inputs will actuate different portions of the module.

If a Safety Injection Actuation Signal is present with an Undervoltage signal, then the accident function is actuated (six steps). If only an Undervoltage signal is present, then the shutdown function is actuated (three steps).

The table below shows information for the shutdown sequencer similar to the information contained on Table 8-7 in the Updated Final Safety Analysis Report for the accident sequencer.

RAI_2:

In regards to SR 3.8.1.8, provide details of any load sequence times outside of the 10% time interval tolerance, which might have occurred duringlastfive years.

CCNPP Response 2:

We have reviewed the Condition Reports for the load sequencers written in the last five years. There were two Condition Reports that documented a failure of a load sequencer time step outside of the 10%

time interval tolerance in the last five years. An installed load sequencer was tested on June 23, 2013.

One of the six steps (step 2) failed to meet the acceptance criteria of 5 seconds + 10%. A replacement sequencer module was installed on June 24, 2013. One of the six steps (step 6) failed to meet the acceptance criteria of 5 seconds + 10%. A second sequencer module was installed on June 25, 2013.

This sequencer module met all of the acceptance criteria. No other failure of sequencer modules to meet the acceptance criteria has been identified in the last five years.

RAI 3

On page 3 of Attachment 1 of the LAR, in regards to SR 3.8.1.11, the licensee stated, "To perform this surveillance test at the most limitingpower factor, the voltage regulators must be placed in the manual mode of operation. This operationalmode means that the safety bus voltage now tracks with the grid voltage swings. This places equipment at greater risk for being impacted by degraded grid voltage for the duration of the surveillance test. Currently, the surveillance test is one hour in duration and the exposure time with the voltage regulators in manual is minimal. With the change to a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> surveillance test, the exposure time with the voltage regulators in manual is significant. The probability of a grid voltage swing is increasedin a 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> period It is not an optimum testingpractice. Therefore, we propose to change the SR by removing the power factor numbers and the associatedNote 2. The surveillance testing will be conducted at the requiredloadsfor a total of 24 hours2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> at the worst case power factor achievable with the voltage regulators in automatic mode. The achievable power factor will depend on the grid conditions duringthe surveillance test but is expected to be approximately 0.9."

Regardingthe above statements, please provide the following information:

a. Explain why the voltage regulatorneeds to be in the manual mode in order to reduce the equipment risk duringthe surveillancetest. Providecatalog cut/operationaldetails of the voltage regulator.

b. Explain whether the surveillance test can be performed at the power factor limits duringthe 2-hour period by keeping the voltage regulatorsin manual mode of operation,so as to limit the equipment risk to any degraded grid voltage. If yes, provide details ofpower factor test limits corresponding to the kilo-watts (kW) loading during the 2-hour test period.

CCNPP Response 3:

3a - As described below, the 13.8 kV voltage regulators need to be in the automatic mode of operation to reduce risk to safety-related equipment during Unit operation. The only way to reach the reduced power factor required by the current Technical Specification under all conditions is to place the 13.8 kV voltage regulators in manual mode, which increases risk to the associated safety-related equipment.

Calvert Cliffs' electrical distribution design includes 13.8 kV voltage regulators which control voltage on the 4 kV safety-related buses. These voltage regulators can adjust voltage, as necessary, for changes in grid voltage. Therefore, the 13.8 kV voltage regulators ensure the 4 kV safety-related bus voltages remain within acceptable values for various grid voltages. When the 13.8 kV voltage regulators are in the manual mode, the 13.8 kV voltage regulators cannot automatically correct for changes in grid voltage.

Therefore, a 4 kV safety-related bus voltage and its associated electrical distribution system can be adversely affected by grid voltage changes when its associated 13.8 kV voltage regulator is in manual.

When paralleling a DG to the grid, the DG power factor can be adjusted by either changing the DG generator voltage or the 4 kV bus voltage. To increase the DG VARs (i.e., decrease the DG power factor) the DG voltage can be increased or the 4 kV bus voltage can be decreased. Depending on the 4 kV bus voltage at the time of the test, the DG voltage regulator range may not be sufficient to achieve the required power factor. To further increase the DG VARs and decrease DG power factor, the 4 kV bus voltage could be decreased. This can be accomplished by placing the associated 13.8 kV voltage regulator in manual and "stepping" the 13.8 kV voltage regulator down one step. This decreases the 4 kV bus voltage, increases DG VARs, and decreases DG power factor. However, with the 13.8 kV voltage regulator in manual, the 4 kV bus and associated electrical distribution system can be adversely affected by changes in grid voltages.

Therefore, in order to obtain the required DG power factor, plant conditions (bus voltages, DG voltage regulator performance) may require reducing the 4 kV bus voltage. This requires placing the 13.8 kV voltage regulator in manual, which removes the automatic voltage protection to plant electrical distribution systems from grid voltage changes. As requested catalog and operational details of the transformers and tap changers are contained in Enclosure 2.

3b - The main difference between the current one hour endurance test [Surveillance Requirement (SR) 3.8.1.11] and the proposed 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> endurance test is when the test is performed. The one hour endurance test is performed during a refueling outage, during a DG testing window. The associated 4 kV bus is inoperable during this time and placing the voltage regulators in a manual mode has less impact than when the 4 kV bus is operable. The 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> endurance test is performed when the Unit is operating.

The associated 4 kV bus remains operable during the test and the impact to the stability of the operable 4 kV bus is increased when the voltage regulator is in the manual mode. The voltage regulators in automatic mode support the operation of safety-related equipment under degraded voltage conditions.

Even for a two hour period, this exposure to grid voltage changes is not acceptable.

Therefore, we are not able to guarantee that the power factor limits will be achieved during the 24 hour2.777778e-4 days <br />0.00667 hours <br />3.968254e-5 weeks <br />9.132e-6 months <br /> endurance test.

RAI 4

On page 3 ofAttachment I of the LAR, the licensee describedthe kW loading requirementsfor the DGfor SR 3.8.1.11. Provide a summary of the loading calculationsfor each DGfor both accident and LOOP conditions.

CCNPP Response 4:

The table below provides the loading for each DG during accident conditions. The accidents considered were a main steam line break, a large break loss-of-coolant accident (LB LOCA) and a small break loss-of-coolant accident. For each DG, the LB LOCA was the limiting accident for DG loading. The highest loading for each DG is in bold.

RAI 5

The proposed changes to SR 3.8.1.11 relating to the 2-hour and 22-hour tests, states that, "These test phases may be performed in either order."

Explain how performing the 2-hour test after the 22-hour test demonstrates the capability of the DG to perform its designfinction.

CCNPP Response 5:

As can be seen in the response to RAI 4, sometimes the DG loading is higher at the end of an event rather than the beginning of an event. Therefore, a higher test load at the end of an endurance run can more closely model the bus loading that could be experienced.

Additionally, DG loading includes a prclubricating and warm-up period and a gradual loading period as described in the Technical Specification Bases. It takes approximately 15 to 30 minutes to load a DG to its test band. During the test, no adjustments are made at the lower load which would affect the ability of the DG to operate at the higher load. Therefore, since time to load is not critical, and the ability to 4

ATTACHMENT (1)

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING ENHANCEMENTS TO DIESEL GENERATOR LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST increase to the higher load later is not affected, operating at the lower load first does not affect the higher load test. Also note that wear and tear on the DG may be reduced if operated at the lower load first, thereby reducing the need for tear-down maintenance of the DG.

RAI 6

Provide the operating modes of the plant that the newly proposed SR 3.8.1.17 will be permitted to be performed.

CCNPP Response 6:

New SR 3.8.1.17 will be performed in Modes 5, 6, and defueled.

RAI 7

According to the Standard Technical Specification (STS), NUREG-1432, Revision 4, in Section 3.8.2, "AC Sources - Shutdown, "SR 3.8.2.1; SR 3.8.1. 11 (equivalentto the newly proposedSR 3.8.1.17) is not in the list of SRs which are not applicable,but rather is in the list of SRs in the "NOTE", which are not requiredto be performed. The NRC stafffinds that the exemption for not performing the newly proposed SR 3.8.1.17 should be covered in the "NOTE".

Please explain the deviationfrom the STS.

CCNPP Response 7:

This deviation from the Improved Technical Specifications is based on plant specific criteria approved during the Improved Technical Specifications conversion. Specifically, the new SR 3.8.17 tests the DG automatic start in response to an undervoltage signal [provided by Diesel Generator (DG)-Loss of Voltage Start (LOVS), Technical Specification 3.3.6]. The DG-LOVS is not required to be Operable in Modes 5 and 6, or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies. As described in Reference 1, the undervoltage instrumentation is only required in Modes 1 through 3. This is consistent with the discussion provided in our application for a license amendment (Reference 2). That letter states that a DG is required during shutdown and refueling to ensure adequate AC electrical power is available to mitigate events such as a fuel handling incident or a loss of shutdown cooling. Due to the reduced pressure and temperature conditions of the Reactor Coolant System during shutdown conditions, these events develop more slowly and the results are less severe than the events which occur at full power. Thus, additional time is available for the operator to evaluate plant conditions and respond by manually operating the engineered safety feature components (including a DG) as required to successfully mitigate the consequences of the event. These discussions support the exclusion of undervoltage signals in Modes 5 and 6, and during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies.

Technical Specification SR 3.0.1 requires that SRs be met during the Modes or other specified conditions in the Applicability, unless otherwise stated. Failure to meet a SR, whether the failure is experienced during the performance of the SR or between performances of the SR, is a failure to meet the Limiting Condition for Operation. New SR 3.8.1.17 includes the requirement to auto start the DG from a standby condition on a loss of offsite power signal. This requires that the DG-LOVS system be Operable. The DG-LOVS system operability is contained in Technical Specification 3.3.6. The Applicability of Technical Specification 3.3.6 is Modes 1 through 4. The DG-LOVS system is not required to be Operable in Modes 5, 6 or during movement of irradiated fuel assemblies. Therefore, it can be taken out of service in these Modes. When it is taken out of service, the requirements of SR 3.8.1.17 are not met, 5

ATTACHMENT (1)

RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING ENHANCEMENTS TO DIESEL GENERATOR LICENSE AMENDMENT REQUEST and the Limiting Condition for Operation is not met. This leads to the need to exempt SR 3.8.1.17 from the list of SRs requirements.

This position is consistent with the current list of SRs exempt in SR 3.8.2.1.

1. The position of the switch at time of appearing in Service Information S210-incident. 40-14 and S210-40-18.

A. By position indicator.

B. By ON-POSITION pointer (see Fig-ure 8). Normally the ON-POSITION pointer is centered on the ON-POSITION plate at the completion of a tap change.

2. The direction the switch was moving at time of incident.
3. Was switch on automatic or manual control?
4. Check the motor supply voltage. The voltage should be 115 volts, measured at terminals 55 and 57 or 56 and 57 at the terminal block mounted on the side of the drive box. (See Figure 17).
5. The transformer serial number from the transformer nameplate.

4. If binding or jamming is suspected in the tap selector switch, deenergize the transformer, drain and open the switch compartment to inspect the switch.
5. Check the movable contacts for jam-ming.
a. Check that the movable contact spring pins, both main dial and re-versing switches are not rubbing on the stationary contacts or slip rings.

It is suggested that an inspection mirror be used.

NOTE: The switch must be operated to position 3 raise and 2 lower to properly Check the reversing switch.

b. Check that all stationary contacts.

Hand crank the switch while observing the contact alignment with an inspection mirror.

d. Check the reversing switch for tight-ness at the reversing pivot shaft.

NOTE: Units shipped prior to August.

1982 do not have tapered roller bearings supporting the reversing pivot shaft. In particular, these units should be checked to ensure there Is no galling of metal be-tween the reversing segment and scroll cam mounting bracket casting. Also check for galling between the reversing arm assembly and scroll cam mounting bracket casting. If it is necessary to re-move the reversing segment to verify a galling condilion or to correct the condi-tion by polishing, be sure to mark the reversing segment and pivot shaft so they can be reassembled exactly as removed.

e.Check the main dial contacts, both stationary and movable for any un-usual or blunt erosion pattern that could make it difficult for the mov-able contact to slide onto the station-ary contact. Replace the contacts.

NOTE: This type of blunt erosion pattern results when the movable contact stope off the stationary contact but close enough to arc.

f. Check the clearance between the rear insulating arm and rear slip ring.

With zero pressure maintained in the transformer tank and only the head of oil acting on the insulating panel, the clearance should be approxi-mately Yainch.

g. Check the main drive shaft through the stuffing box for binding by sliding the drive shaft up and down slightly.

If there is binding of the shaft or oil leakage in the stuffing box use following procedure.

Numerals in parentheses refer to Fig-ure 17.

1. Remove input shaft assembly (5):
a. Disengage snapring (1) from ex-ternal shaft assembly (25), mark the snapring groove on shaft (25), and slide the snapring toward the cou-pling ball.

INPUTS Power. A two wire input, requiring less than 3 W at 90 to 140 V ac, provides all power requirements. The unit should be powered from a potential transformer or from the voltage to be controlled.

Line Current: Line drop compensation is provided by a C.T. input with a 0.2 A nominal full scale rating.

The burden imposed by this input on the current source is 0.03 VA. A Beckwith Electric model M-0121 (5 A to 0.2 A) or M-0169 (5 A or 8.66 A to 0.2 A) Auxiliary Current Transformer is available when required.

Circulating Cunrent; Parallel operation of transformers is provided by a second C.T. input with a 0.2 A nominal full scale rating. The burden imposed by this input on the current source is 0.005 VA. A paralleling input with a 02 A full scale rating gives approximately 24 V correction at approximately 90W for parallel operation with other transformers.

OUTPUTS Two outputs drive a raise and lower motor starter relay. The starters may be any voltage up to 240 V ac. The output contacts are rated at 2.5 A inrush current and will handle a NEMA size I starter or smaller.

CONTROLS VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND: The center of the control band may be set to any voltage from 105 to 135 V ac. The scale calibration accuracy is +/-0.5 V at 120 V ac.

TOTAL BANDWIDTH: The bandwidth control can be adjusted from 1.0 to 6.0 V. The scale calibration accuracy is +/-0.3 V.

TIME: The timer is adjustable from 0 to 120 sec. with a scale calibration accuracy of +/-10% of setting or +/-2 sec.,

whichever is greater. The timer starts when the voltage goes outside the band and resets within a few milliseconds upon return to the band or when reset by an external contact in the Non-Sequential mode.

LINE DROP COMPENSATOR: The resistance compensation provides 24 V compensation for 0.2 A input in phase with the input voltage. The reactance compensation provides 24 V compensation for 0.2 amps input at a phase angle of +/-90W as chosen by the DIRECT/REVERSE switch. The magnitude and angle of each circuit is individually set by a pair of trimpots to any accuracy limited only by the instruments used in setting. The factory setting of magnitude will be within +/-5% and the phase angles within +/-2%. The voltage and two current circuits are isolated from each other and do not interact.

TESTIOPERATE: When this switch is in the TEST position, the Line Drop Compensator is deactivated and the voltage may be raised and lowered by means of an uncalibrated voltage control. An external voltmeter with a burden of 500 £t per V or higher can be connected to test the band limits by observing when the RAISE and LOWER LEDs light. No special test voltage source required.

LED INDICATORS The RAISE and LOWER LEDs light to indicate a voltage outside the band and a forthcoming tapchanger operation as soon as the timer times out. With a slowly varying input, operation of the LEDs and initiation of timing is very sharp with 0.2 V hysteresis. The LEDs have an expected life of 25 years.

I INTRODUCTION The M-0067 is a solid-state control that makes novel use of the latest electronic techniques to achieve a highly stable and reliable transformer or regulator control. The Block Diagram is shown in Figure 1. The M-0067 control is suitable for use on existing LTC transformers, single-phase regulators or induction voltage regulators, as well as new transformers.

All components are mounted on a single printed circuit board which in turn is mounted on a metal panel. The panel can be easily removed, leaving a completely functional circuit board with both sides exposed for ease in servicing. The panel mounting space is consistent with a three-unit drawout case.

A self-checking feature permits checking calibration with only an accurate ac voltmeter.

All dials are accurately calibrated with only one knob used for each function. Calibration of each function is independent of all others.

00 FIGURE 1 Block Diagram PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION U NOTE. It will help in following the Schematic shown in Figure 4 to know that generally dc voltages are positive at the top and negative at the bottom. Information generally flows from left to right.

LINE DROP COMPENSATION This uses a number of unique circuits to give improved performance at lower cost and with almost no heat rise.

The voltage is scaled down 10:1 by T4 so that 12 V ac on the secondary represents 120 V ac. By bringing the P.T.

voltage to a 95% tap for test, both a raised and lowered voltage can be produced across the entire primary by adjustment of R3. This permits checking both band limits without using a separate test voltage source.

Transformer TI and associated network produces a voltage across R5 of 2.4 V ac for 0.2 A in its primary.

Capacitor C19 corrects for transformer inductance causing the voltage across R5 to be exactly in phase with the current. Resistor R2 is the main burden, and trimmer R4 adjusts the half-scale point of the resistance control R5 to be exactly correct.

Transformer T2 and associated network produces a voltage across R9 of 2.4 V ac for 0.2 A in its primary. Switch S2 provides direct or reversed polarity for this reactance compensation voltage.

Winductance.

The pi network consisting of C2, R7 and C5 provides exactly 9Q0 phase shift, including effects of transformer Trimmer R7, therefore, adjusts the angle of the voltage across R9 to be exactly 90* out of phase with

'12 primary current. Trimmer R8 adjusts the magnitude to the correct value at half scale on reactance control R9.

Capacitors are used in the reactance network since they provide nearly perfect linearity with current level and at lower cost than inductances. A reversal of T2 polarity brings the phasing to the correct point, making the capacitive burden look like an inductive burden.

Transformer T3 with C3 and C4 produce a secondary voltage, approximately 90' out of phase with the primary current, for use in parallel operation of transformers. This angle is actually 84' and is not compensated to precisely 90 since this is not required for proper paralleling. Again, reversal of polarity through TP3 makes its capacitive burden look like an inductive burden.

Summing amplifier Q1 has a current summin-g input at pin 2 0-). Current is fed to this point through resistors R13, RIO, R11 and R12. It is the nature of QI that current cannot enter the device but that, instead, the Q1 output will serve itself so that the sum of the four currents flows through R16. When the sum of the input voltages is positive, Q1 output will be a negative voltage in precise proportion to the sum (at the juncture of D4, R18 and feedback resistor R1 6). When the sum of the input is negative, the feedback is blocked by D4 so that the summing input actually moves negative and Q1 switches positive to saturation. This forms an effective half-wave rectifier yet without the temperature-sensitive drop of 1)4 giving an error.

The resistor capacitance network following Q1 gives a dc voltage proportional to the sum. Components R17, R18 and C6 are chosen to make this dc voltage proportional to the rms content of the input regardless of considerable distortion. This provides proper compensation when very nonlinear loads such as arc furnaces distort the current waveshape.

Resistors R20, R66 and R67 together with capacitors C8, C17 and C18 form a twin T-filter which removes the 40* ripple voltage without introducing a time delay which could cause the transformer to hunt when set for a I

narrow bandwidth. When the bandwidth is so narrow that it can be matched by only one tap position, it is essential to detect the voltage in time to stop the tapchangeron that one tap; otherwise the operation will oscillate continuously, never stopping within the band.

VOLTAGE SENSING Power transformer T5 and full-wave rectifiers D5 and D6 provide an unregulated 24 V for noncritical circuits and as relay potential.

Integrated circuit regulator Q2 provides a very stable dc reference source for voltage determination and timing.

Full-wave rectifiers D13, D18 and associated network provides negative voltages regulated by zener diodes D14 and D15.

Integrated operational amplifier circuits Q3 and Q4 are used as threshold detectors. Their outputs switch as the dc voltage "E," proportional to the compensated ac input, goes outside a band of reference voltages.

Zener diode D7 maintains a constant voltage across the band width determining circuit so that the bandwidth is independent of voltage control R26. The zener diode D7, and the fact that R27 equals R30, assures that the bandwidth will vary around a bandcenter value determined by R26 alone.

Resistors R34 and R35 provide approximately 0.2 V hysteresis at the band edges. This results in very sharp band edge operation, energizing the motor starter without chattering.

TIMER AND OUTPUT A precise and stable timer is formed by charging C12 through R43 to a point where operational-amplifier Q6 switches. The second input to Q6 is by timing control R40. Resistor R45 provides a snap action when the threshold is reached.

RAISE and LOWER LEDs I1and 12 operate when either threshold detector Q3 or Q4 operate. Until the timer times out, the LED current is shunted to -6 V by diodes D11 and D12. When the timer does time out, the current from either 11 or 12 is passed to the base of Q9 or Q7, thereby turning it on. This transistor operates relay K1 or K2 which causes a raise or lower operation.

Transistor Q5 shorts the timing capacitor, thereby cutting off either relay whenever the voltage goes back within the band. This occurs in 1/2 cycle or less, assuring that the tapchanger will stop in the band whenever minimum bandwidth is being used.

The timing capacitor can also be discharged by closing a contact from terminals 3 to 10. If tied to a cam switch, closed off normal, non-sequential operation is obtained where the timer starts following each tapchanger step regardless of the voltage.

STABILITY Excellent stability is achieved from -50P to +800 C (-58* to 1760 F). This is accomplished by using circuits and components each having inherent stability. In units with serial numbers up to 5000, it was necessary to include a varistor to correct for a final +/-1/2%of temperature drift. Units serial 5000 and greater have this temperature correction eliminated.

This excellent stability is essential when transformers are used in parallel with very narrow bandwidth. If the controls were to drift apart in voltage setting, first one transformer would operate to bring the voltage within its band and then the other. This would occur after each timer times out and would continue until the circulating current stopped the action. Minimum circulating current is thus not obtained.

The design uses operational amplifier integrated circuits which have variations in manufacture, temperature and life measured in terms of less than 10 mV. These are used with voltages in the order of 10 V, well within their rating but far above the levels of undesired variations. In addition, an integrated circuit voltage regulator establishes a highly stable reference to compare with the rectified ac voltage.

Highly stable metal film resistors and wirewound potentiometers are used throughout the design. These are used as voltage dividers in such a way that the essential divided voltage is independent of the small variation of resistance with temperature.

Light emitting diodes assure trouble-free, long life with little deterioration due to age and no effect from vibration.

All active semiconductors are hermetically sealed so that moisture cannot change their characteristics.

The circuit involving Q1 is a novel combination of summing amplifier and compensated half-wave rectifier. This eliminates all interaction between the several inputs to the compensator. It also includes half-wave rectifier D4 inside a high gain feed-back path to eliminate the effect of the voltage drop across D4 which varies with temperature.

The ac voltage and current compensation voltages are scaled down 10:1 to values more appropriate for use with integrated circuits. This and other techniques reduce the power input within the band to about 1 W which reduces warmup drift to a minimum by the simple fact that the temperature rise due to operation is very small.

Accurate timing is achieved by use of a stable resistor and capacitor, and by measuring the charging time to a stable dc voltage using an operational amplifier to compare these voltages to within a few millivolts. Through use of simple logic circuits, a single timer is used for either raise or lower.

High temperature, low leakage electrolytic capacitors are used where necessary to minimize total drift with usage and variations in ambient temperature.

0 APPLICATION GENERAL External connections are shown in Figure 2. 3oth power (I to 3 W) and voltage sensing are obtained from a potential device having a nominal 120 V ac output. Normally, this is line-to-neutral potential although line-to-line potential can also be used if special attention is paid when using line drop compensation. Load current must be reduced by suitable auxiliary current transformers to 0.2 A full scale before connecting to the M-0067 input.

The Beckwith Electric M-0121 Current Transformer (SA to 0.2 A) can be used with the M-0067 when there is no additional burden present. The M-0169 Current Transformer (8.66 A or 5 A to 0.2 A) is for use in high burden current circuits, such as are found in paralleling schemes. Outputs are protected against overvoltage.

In general, the tapchanger motor must be operated from a different transformer than that used to measure potential. If this is not done, hunting at the upper band edge may result. As soon as the motor starts and before it is sealed in, the motor current can drop the voltage within the band and reset the control. Some motor seal-in schemes are fast enough to prevent this but others are not.

PARALLEL OPERATION A number of problems of distinct origin may be hard to distinguish because they all result in hunting of transformers in parallel. The net result is excessive operations as noted on the counter. In order to prevent these operations, it is essential that the various causesbe carefully distinguished and eliminated to the extent provided by adherence to ANSI Class I standards.

Due to the necessity of tapping the transformer winding to the nearest turn, a change may be as much as 3/4%

or 1 V. The tapchanger will have only one chance to stop within a 1 V band, and the control timer must reset before a second change is initiated. If not, the tapchanger will move up two steps, reset, time out, move down two steps, time out and continue this indefinitely. The M-0067 has been designed with a sufficiently fast response to avoid this problem.

Another problem is that the industry standard for 1% accuracy may typically be fulfilled by*l /2% temperature variation and +1/2% due to other errors. It is quite possible for one control to drift +1/2% and another -1/2%

with temperature. This means the minimum practical bandwidth for parallel operation is 2% or 2.4 V, assuming no error was made in setting the controls.

The adjustment error can be reduced by using the same voltmeter with great precision in setting the voltage at center of band of units being paralleled. If the Beckwith control is used with a control of poor stability, even wider bandwidth must be used to compensate for the poor stability of the other control.

A further problem in paralleling can arise if one control is of a different design and if line drop compensation is used. The line drop compensator of the M-0067 has rather exact 00 resistance compensation and 90* reactance compensation. Other controls of older vintage have been found to have reactance compensation of 60r to 700, rather than 90r as it should be. Due to these imperfections, the line drop compensator of other controls may not track the rather exact line drop compensator of the M-0067. This may cause hunting to occur at load levels different than those existing when the controls were initially adjusted.

Do not operate with C.T. secondary open. Short circuit or apply burden at C.T. secondary during operation.

0 FIGURE 2 External Connections An additional problem in paralleling may occur if the transformers themselves have widely different imped-ances. This will cause current in the circulating current circuit, even with transformers on the same tap. In order to eliminate hunting, it is now necessary to desensitize the circulating current circuit so that no tapchange results from this minimal circulating current.

This can be accomplished by changingR12 (normally 270 K). The sensitivity is inversely proportional to the size of R12, i.e., inserting R12 equal to 540 K would give a sensitivity of 12 V/0.2 A rather than the standard 24 V/0.2 A. This resistor is mounted on turrets to permit unsoldering without removing the panel.

k CAUTION: Use a small iron and minimal heat In changing this component. Refer to the TEST PROCEDURE section for the proper equipment required.

The need to change R12 is eliminated if the Beckwith Electric M-0115 Parallel Balancing Module is used since it contains a sensitivity control. Refer to the Instruction Book on the M-01 15 for details.

In another case, the standard sensitivity may not be sufficient. This is the case where the impedance of an overcurrent relay in the circulating current circuit is so high as to reduce the current from the C.T. below the value which should flow. Here a lower than normal R12 value can be used to increase the sensitivity and compensate for the high relay impedance.

This problem is best avoided by using a Beckwith Electric M-0127 10-100 mA ac Overcurrent Relay. The input impedance of approximately 100 D avoids saturation of the source current transformer.

These difficulties have led some utilities to decide against using the circulating current method of paralleling.

Field experience with the Beckwith Electric controls proves that the operation will be stable over long periods and with no readjustment if the above points are carefully considered.

OPTIONS VOLTAGE REDUCTION The voltage setpoint may be reduced by closing the external dry contacts one at a time from terminal 11 or 12 to

13. These contact closures may typically be remotely-controlled by supervisory control.

A CAUTION: Leads between contacts and the M-0067 terminals must be kept short and within the control cabinet in order to avoid circuit damage or misoperation.

Approximate values of resistance for various amounts of voltage reduction may be obtained from Figure 3. The resistors for two preselected steps of voltage reduction will be mounted on the printed circuit board. Please indicate the desired percentage(s) of voltage reduction (based on 120 V) on the OPTIONS page when ordering the unit. Resistors R74 and R75 will be factory selected and installed to provide the desired voltage reduction. If no voltage reduction is specified on the option sheet, R74 and R75 will not be installed at the factory. If more than two steps of voltage reduction are required, additional voltage reduction resistors may be added externally to the unit in series with terminals 11 and 12.

INSTANTANEOUS (NON-TIME DELAYED) VOLTAGE REDUCTION To implement this option, a 2.2 K +/-10%, 1/2 W carbon resistor is substituted at the factory for R37. When ordering the M-0067, please indicate if this option is desired by checking the appropriate entry on the OPTIONS page.

When voltage reduction is required, the contacts from terminal 10 to terminal 13 dose, forcing the timer to instantaneously time out. Subsequent tap changes will occur with no time delay. Meanwhile, the normally closed contacts will open to keep the cam switch from resetting the timer if the control has been wired for nonsequential operation. If the control is being used in the sequential mode of operation, these normally closed contacts are unnecessary.

A CAUTION: Leads between contacts and the M-0067 terminals must be kept short and within the control cabinet in order to avoid circuit damage or misoperation.

USE OF THE M-0329 LTC BACKUP CONTROL WITH THE M-0067 TAPCHANGER CONTROL The M-0329 is a single-phase, solid-state backup control that has three main functions:

I. Prevent a defective tapchanger control from running the voltage outside the upper and lower limits.

2. Prevent the line drop compensator from raising the voltage too high under full load or overload conditions.
3. Lower the voltage if the regulated voltage goes above the Block Raise setpoint by a fixed bandwidth.

The Block Raise and Block Lower voltage levels are set by accurately calibrated dials; four per-unit values are available for the fixed bandwidth.

The M-0329 Instruction Book is available on request and gives added details. Since the M-0329 voltage and the fixed bandwidth value must be specified at the time of purchase, please refer to the M-0329 Instruction Book for 0 complete ordering information.

INSTALLATION The mounting and outline dimensions are shown in Figure 5 and 6b. The M-0067E is also available in horizontal and rack mount configurations as shown in Figure 6a and 6b. The horizontal configuration uses the same mounting dimensions as the vertical configuration shown in Figure 5.

Since the compensated voltage is not available from the Beckwith Electric Tapchanger Control, the M-0329LTC Backup Control must be connected as a two terminal device to the potential transformer. Figure 7 shows the typical interconnection of the two devices with motor auxiliary relays.

Before energizing a new transformer or a modified old transformer make certain of the following7 LIGHTNING PROTECTION It has been determined that transient voltages in excess of 1500 V ac rms can exist on the "ground"lead normally tied to tenninal 3 and that these excessive voltages were causing occasional failure. In the '"S version of the M-0067 units, these voltages are suppressed by a string of varistors which still permit the unit to pass a 1500 V ac hi-pot test, all terminals to ground.

If possible, the potential transformer should be grounded at the control with a lead no longer than 6" from the M-0067 terminal 3 to ground (such as one of the M-0067 mounting screws). This will give the best protection from lightning damage to the control.

Multiple P.T. grounds far apart must be avoided, however, since a varying difference in ground potential could add or subtract from the effective potential and cause a variation in the voltage setpoint.

A CAUTION- The Meter Circuit is protected by a 0.25 A Axial Lead Picofuse (F2). Any external device, e.g. a voltmeter, connected to TB1-2 must not draw more than 0.25 A to ensure F2 will not be blown. Refer to the TEST CIRCUIT section for instructions on using T71-2 for external voltage monitoring. This fuse can be replaced by unsoldering the old fuse and replacing with an equivalent fuse. Consult the PARTS LIST and Component Location, Figure 8 for the fuse type and location. Spare fuses are supplied with new M-0067E units, and additional fuses can be obtained from the manufacturers or from Beckwith Electric Co.

Units returned with only a blown fuse are not covered by warranty, and a nominal repair charge will be made for replacement of the fuse.

Please check the fuse before returning the M-0067forrepair, In order to avoid unnecessary repair charge.

ADJUSTMENT The BANDCENTER and BANDWIDTH controls of the LTC Backup Control should be set so that the Block Lower limit is a small amount, (approximately 2 V), below the lower band limit of the Tapchanger Control, and the Block Raise limit is a similar amount above the upper limit if line drop compensation is not used.

If line drop compensation is used, the Block Raise limit should be set at the maximum voltage desired from the transformer.

If line drop compensation is used, the Backup Control Block Raise limit should be set higher than the highest voltage expected from the transformer under full load.

The M-0329 LTC Backup Control also includes a First Customer Protection function that regulates the maximum voltage from the transformer. This "LOWER" function operates slightly above the Block Raise limit and is connected to force the tapchanger to lower the voltage if this maximum limit is exceeded.

Figure 7 shows the interconnection of the Tapchanger Control and LTC Backup Control The Instruction Book on the M-0329 LTC Backup Control is available on request and gives added details.

Ideally, the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR should be set for the impedance from the transformer to the load center.

The problem is that this load center varies with distribution of load and is seldom, if ever known.

A balance of high and low voltage at full load can be achieved by using the M-0329 LTC Backup Control with the M-0067Tapchanger Control. Connections for this combination are shown in Figure 7. With this combination, the LDC is set at a value surely greater than the impedance to the load center. The M-0329 lower output contact will operate to limit the voltage to the nearest load when the transformer load is greater than approximately 80%

load.

See the M-0329 Instruction Book for further details.

CHECKOUT PROCEDURE SE'IrNGS Before power is applied to the transformer, adjust the VOLTAGECENTER OF BAND, TOTAL BANDWIDTH, TIME and R and X LINE DROP COMPENSATOR knobs to the desired setting. Remove wires from terminals 7,8 and 9 and place lead from terminal 4 temporarily on terminal 3.

POWER Make certain by measurement, if possible, that the potential to be applied to terminals I through 3 is nominal 120 V ac. Apply this power but not the motor power. Turn the TEST/OPERATE switch to TEST, connect a voltmeter from 2 to 3, vary the TEST knob and determine that the RAISE and LOWER LEDs operate on either side of the voltage setting. With an LED lit, determine that the corresponding relay operates after the set time. Disconnect the P.T. voltage.

Connect the lead for terminal 7 to the lead for terminal 8 with a clip lead. Apply motor voltage. Ascertain that the motor runs in the Raise direction. Remove power and connect the lead for terminal 8 to the lead for terminal 9.

Reapply motor power and ascertain that the motor runs in the Lower direction. Disconnect power and reconnect leads to terminals 7,8 and 9.

Apply both P.T. and motor voltages. Using the TEST knob, exercise the entire control and tapchanger switch by getting a Raise light and determining that the switch raises after an appropriate time for the timer to time out.

W Repeat with a setting that gives a Lower light.

With some load on the transformer, measure the current in the wire from terminal 4. This should be 0.2 A multiplied by the fraction of full load on the transformer. If correct, reconnect the lead to terminal 4. If the transformer is energized when making this connection, be sure to first short the C.T secondary.

TEST CIRCUIT This circuit permits checking the band limits as well as the operation of the tapchanger. Voltmeter terminals are ordinarily provided external to this control and tied to terminals 2 and 3 of the control. Connect a voltmeter of not less than 500 fQ per V to these terminals. With the TESTIOPERATE switch on TEST, vary the TEST knob and read the voltage where the band edge LEDs just light. By waiting for the timer to time out with one of the LEDs lit, operation of the tapchanger can be checked. In making this check, the potential must be approximately equal to the setting of the VOLTAGE knob asit would be in practice (but might not be in a laboratory test setup). The circuit depends on the voltmeter burden to lower the voltage. If the voltmeter burden is more than 500 0 per V, connect a 50 K resistor across the voltmeter terminals or from 2 to 3 of the M-0067 control. If the voltmeter burden is appreciably less than 500 D per V, the TEST knob will be inaccurate and damage could result to the unit.

0 WARNING: Some motors must be stopped in order to startin the properdirection. With such motors, never set the timer less than the lime it takes the motor to stop. In such a case a setting of 15 seconds or more is safe.

.0 Tests indicate all M-0067E units will pass the Surge Withstand Capability (SWC) test per ANSI standard C37.90.1-1989. Since serial number 5500, all units have been tested per this standard before shipment il LL II a

  • MAINTENANCE Due to the extremely sophisticated nature of the circuitry in the M-0067, field repair is not recommended. All units are fully calibrated at the factory prior to shipment; there is not need to re-calibrate a unit prior to initial installation. Calibration is only required after a component is replaced. In the event that a unit does not operate properly, it should be established that the problem is caused by malfunction of a Beckwith unit and not caused by an external fault or wiring error. Once this is assured, the entire unit should be returned toBeckwith Electric.

Pack the unit carefully (in the original carton if possible), assuring that there is adequate packing material to protect the contents.

0 NOTE: Any equipment returned for repair must be sent with transportation charges prepaid. The equipment must remain the property of the user. The warranty is void if the value of the unit is invoiced to Beckwith Electric at the time of return or If the unit is returned with transportation charges collect.

If under warranty, units will be repaired rapidly and returned at no cost and with return transportation paid if the fault is found to be due to workmanship or failure of material. If a unit is under warranty and express shipment for return of the repaired unit is requested, shipping charges will be billed at the current rate. If the fault is due to abuse or misuse, or if the unit is out of warranty, a modest charge will be made. Repair can normally be expected to take two weeks, plus shipping time. If faster service is required, it should be requested at the time of return.

0 E NOTE: Units returned with only a blown fuse are not covered by warranty and a nominal repair charge will be made for replacement of the fuse. Please check the fuses before returning the M-0067 for repair in order to avoid unnecessary repair charges.

To help in analyzing the problem, a complete description of the malfunction and conditions leading to the failure should be included with the unit.

However, if you choose to repair the unit, it is necessary to be completely familiar with the circuitry involved, and have an adequate understanding of field effect devices. Be sure to carefully read the WARNING page at the beginning of this manual.

If Fl blows, it is surely due to the failure of another component, which should be identified and replaced together with the fuse.

It is suggested that first a visual inspection be made for any component that does not appear normal or appears to have overheated. Analysis of the circuit will then often lead to the cause of the failure and components that need to be replaced.

If no obvious problems exist, it is suggested that the TEST PROCEDURES be followed until a portion of a circuit is detected which does not perform as expected or until a calibration point is found which will not meet requirements. These procedures should lead to a determination of the defective component.

.once It is suggested that each knob be moved rapidly back and forth a dozen times or so during routine maintenance or twice a year. This will remove dirt or oxidation from the contacting elements within the control so as to assure trouble-free operation.

HOW TO AVOID DAMAGING YOUR CONTROL THROUGH TESTING This solid-state control is in many ways more rugged, less affected by changes in temperature, and less sensitive to shock and vibration than the earlier electromechanical controls. It is possible to damage the circuits, however, by introduction of excessive voltage through improper test procedures. Therefore, a series of don'ts:

1. Don't hi-pot one terminal at a time to ground. When this is done to TBI-10, TB1-11, TB1-12 or TB1-13; excessive 60 Hz currents may flow through the stray capacity of the circuit to the panel and damage semiconductors.
2. Don't make measurements from "hot" 120 V ac to terminals TB1-10, TB1-11, TB1-12, TB1-13 or to any points within the circuit. In particular, a low impedance ac voltmeter will introduce sufficient current into these terminals to damage semiconductors.
3. Don't apply the SWC Test (ANSI C37.90.1-1989) to terminals TB1-10, TBl-11, TB3-12 or TB1-13. To do so may cause damage to Q3 and Q4.

A CAUTION: In testing the unit, make certain that the motor starterand motor operate off a supply other than the test supply for the unit. If this is not done, the current drawn by the motor and starter may drop the voltage back within the band when checking the Lower operation. This will cause an oscillation which must be correctly attributed to the test circuit and Is not an Indication of improper operation of the control.

Any attempt to measure resistance between points on the printed circuit board may cause damage to the unit.

TEST PROCEDURE Please refer to the WARNING page at the beginning of this manual before proceeding.

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

1. Regulated 60 Hz source with variable amplitude from 60 to 140 V rms.
2. 200 mA, 60 Hz current source with phase angle settings of 0( to +900.
3. High impedance true rms digital voltmeter with accuracy on ac of at least +/-0.1% of reading.
4. Solder sucking syringe or solder wick.
5. Soldering iron-Weller Controlled Output Soldering Station Model MTCPC, 60 W, 120 V, 50/60 Hz or equivalent with grounded tip.
6. An accurate stopwatch or timing device.

HINTS IN MEASUREMENS WIf possible, use a regulated ac voltage supply; however, this should not be the saturable core type regulator which has a severely distorted output.

In setting up the resistive current, use of a 100 ohm non-inductive 25 W resistor and 25 ohm potentiometer in series is suggested. The potentiometer should be at least 2 W and preferably carbon-ceramic construction. This will assure in-phase current and smooth current adjustment.

In checking the voltage and bandwidth controls, move the test voltage slowly to allow the output of the C6-C-C8 filter network to catch up.

In checking the line drop compensator, polarity must be observed, otherwise a 180' error will occur. See Figure 4 Schematic for standard polarity marking.

REMOVING THE PRINTED CIRBCUIT BOARD The circuit board and panel can be easily separated leaving a completely functional circuit. To do this, remove the knobs using a small screwdriver. Remove the nuts securing the switches and knobs. Remove all screws showing on the outside of the panel. Remove the panel. Any component can now be easily changed.

U NOTE. The M-0067 printed circuit board is coated with a moisture resistant conformal coating. This coating must be removed from areas where components are to be replaced.

Carefully scrape away the coating surrounding the component using a small, sharp knife, being careful not to damage the printed circuit board.

0 To replace a component, dip out the old component and discard. Remove the clipped wire using the solder wick or syringe. Be sure to leave the holes clear to facilitate insertion of the new component.

A CAUTION: Do not attempt to melt the solder and push the component through the hole as the component lead is likely to catch the edge of the foil and lift it off the board.

In replacing integrated circuits, make sure to insert the new unit into the transipad so that the tab fits into the slot.

Once this is done, there is only one correct way to insert the combination into the printed circuit board.

To reassemble the unit, place the panel over the controls and secure with the screws previously removed.

Replace the TEST knob nut and knob. Turn the knob shafts counter-clockwise and replace the pointer knobs with the pointer at the minimum calibration point. Before tightening the setscrew, back out the locking knob and temporarily place a thin cardboard spacer under the knob so as to space it about 0.010' away from the panel.

I NOTEh The set screws securing the knobs may "seize" and be difficult to remove. If so, apply a drop of penetrating oil and try again.

WMAE-SHAPE With 120 V ac from TBi-I to TBI-3, the waveshape from TPI to TP2 (high) should be as follows:

Very Fine Vertical Line Figure 9 Waveslape If the waveshape is found to differ, then QI or a closely associated component may be defective.

POWER SUPPLY Connect 120 V ac from TBI-l to 'rBl-3. Check to see that the following dc voltages are obtained.

Across C9 24 V dc Unregulated Across D3 15 Vdc R21-R33 junction to 0 V 12 Vdc (Trimmer R23 should vary this voltage)

D14 (Anode) toO0 V -12 Vdc D14 (Cathode stripe) toO0 V -6 Vdc

VOLTAGE AND BANDWIDTH W Place theTEST/OPERATE switch in theTEST position. Connect an accurate ac voltmeter from TB1-2 to T13-3. Vary the uncalibrated TEST knob and see that the RAISE and LOWER LEDs light at correct voltages with some dead band where both are extinguished.

Set theTOTAL BANDWIDTH knob to 2.0 and adjust trimmer R28 to give 2 V bandwidth. Set the VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND dial to 125 and the TOTAL BANWIDTH knob to 1.0. Adjust R23 so that 25 V is in the center of the band as indicated by the RAISE and LOWER LEDs. Set the VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND knob to 110 and adjust R31 so that 110 V is in the center of the band. Recheck 125 V and the bandwidth; these cahlbrations should not have changed.

Note that the TEST knob (R3) will only raise the voltage 5% from the P.T. voltage. The higher the voltmeter current, the more the voltage will be lowered.

TIMER Connect a reversing type motor starter from TB1-7 and TB1-9 to the low side of a 120 V ac supply. This source need not be regulated, and may be the same source that is used for calibration procedures. Connect the high side of this supply to TB1-8. If a motor starter is not available, two 60 W light bulbs may be connected from TBI1-7 and TB1-9 to the low side of the ac supply.

Set the TIME knob to 0. The appropriate lamps or portion of the motor starter should operate immediately after the RAISE or LOWER LED comes on as the test voltage is moved suddenly out of the dead band.

Set the TIME knob on 40. The output device should now operate 40 seconds after the voltage is moved suddenly out of the band. If not, adjust trimmer R39 to give the proper 40 seconds time. This procedure can be shortened by quickly adjusting R39. The device will then time out a bit later, and at least close to the desired 40 seconds on the first try.

RESISTANCE COMPENSATION Set the VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND knob on 120. Connect a separate variable ac voltage from the output of a phase shifter through a 600 0, 10 W non-inductive resistor and ac ammeter from TB1-4 to TB1-3. Set the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR X knob on zero and the R knob on 12. Set the current to 0.2 A, angle to 00. Adjust R4 so that with current present, the voltage at the center of band is increased precisely 12 V. Note that the voltage on TB11-2 is not affected by this current but that the setpoint rises 12 V.

REACTANCE COMPENSATION Set the VOLTAGE CENTER OF BAND knob to 120.0 V rms. Set the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR switch on DIRECT, with the Xknob at 24 V, and the R knob at 0. Apply 0.1 A in-phase current; adjust R7 for 0.6 V decrease in bandcenter to 119A V.

With the Xknob at 24 V, and the R knob at 0, apply 0.1 A capacitive current (90 0 leading). Adjust R8 for 108 V bandeenter with the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR switch on DIRECT and 132 V bandcenter with the UNE DROP COMPENSATOR switch on REVERSE.

PARALLELING COMPENSATION

.Switch connections from TB1-4 and T131-3 toTBI-6 and T11-5 respectively. Set the current at 0.1 A and its phase angle 900 lagging. The center of band should now be close to 132 V.
