On December 12, 1989 Unit 1 was in Mode 6 with the reac"or coolant sy tom pressure and approximately 95 degrees Fahrenheit. At a'tmospheric approximately 1055 MST, a test was initiated on reactor coolant pump 2A motor prior to coupling the impeller. The motor start caused a voltage perturbation in the electrical syst: em that tripped radiation monitors and initiated a containment purge isolation actuation signal, a fuel building essential ventilation actuation signal, and a control, room essential filtration actuation signal. All systems responded as designed.
The RCP motor was immediately stopped. All actuations were reset by approximately 1300 MST.
An investigation into .the event is in progress. Upon completion of the investigation, a supplemental report will be issued providing the root cause ATIFI AT)y rorrer";ive artions t.o prevent recurrence.

I. DESCRIPTION OF WHAT OCCURRED:
h T<<4 <<4 ql F'pnroo <<4 mar On December 12, 1989 at the time of this event, Palo Verde Unit 1 was in Mode 6 (REFUELING). The reactor coolant system (RCS)(AB) was at atmospheric pressure and approximately 95 degrees Fahrenheit.
B. Reportable Event Description (Including Dates and Approximate Times of Major Occurrences):
Event Classification: Engineered Safety Feature Actuation On December 12, 1989 at approximately 1055 MST, re'actor coolant pump (RCP)(AB) 2A motor (MO) was started to perform a test with the motor uncoupled from the impeller. The pump start caused a voltage perturbation in the AC electrical distribution system and resulted in an undervoltage condition on the "AH AC vital instrument distribution panel (EF) which tripped radiation monitor actuation relays. This resulted in the initiation of a containment purge isolation actuation signal (CPIAS)(JE), a control room essential filtration actuation signal (CREFAS)(VI),
and a fuel building essential ventilation actuation signal (FBEVAS)(VG).
Pri'or to the event on December 12, 1989 at approximately 0615 MST, the emergency power supply (the "A" class 1E battery (EI)(BTRY))
was disconnected from the 125 vol't DC control center (EJ) in order'o support outage work. The normal power supply to the 125 volt DC control center (battery charger (BYC)) remained connected. The battery charger was powered via the 480 volt AC Motor Control Center (ED), the 13.8 kv AC bus (BU) NAN-S03 (EA), and ultimately from the startup transformer (NAN-X03)(EA)(XFMR). (See attached sketch.)
The RCP 2A motor was powered from 13.8 kv AC bus NAN-S01 (EA).
Since Unit 1 was not in operation, the 13.8 kv AC bus NAN-S01 was Dowered via the 13.8 kv AC bus NAN-S03 and from the startuD transformer (NAN-X03). (See attached sketch.)
Prior to the test, operations personnel (utility, licensed) questioned the possible effects the RCP 'motor test could have on plant equipment. However, after discussions with engineering personnel (utility, non-licensed), it was decided the test could NRC Form 366A (666)

J voltage perturbation in the AC electrical system. This perturbation propagated from the 13.8 kv busses (NAN-S01 & S03),
through the ESF transformer (NBN-X03), the load center transformer, the battery charger (PKA-H11), the 125 VDC bus, and the 120 VAC inverter (PNA-Nll), and finally to the 120 VAC distribution panel. This perturbation caused an undervoltage condition on the 120 volt AC instrument and control distribution panel (EF). The undervoltage condition on the 120 volt AC instrument and control distribution panel deenergized (tripped) the actuation relays for the containment purge effluent radiation monitor (RU-37)(IL), control building effluent radiation monitor (RU-29)(IL) and the fuel building area radiation monitor (RU-31)(IL) and initiated a CREFAS, FBEVAS, and CPIAS. Upon receipt of the CREFAS, the "BH train essential chiller (CHU)(KM),
essential cooling water (CC) pump (P), and essential spray pond (BS) pump started. The "A" train essential chiller, essential cooling water, and essential spray pond systems were in service prior to the event.
The RCP 2A motor was immediately stopped. At approximately 1112 MST the control building (NA) normal, air handling unit (AHU) and engineered safety features (ESF) equipment room AHU vere stopped operating procedures. At approximately 1120 MST, all 'er equipment actuations were verified per plant procedures.
The CPIAS, FBEVAS, and CREFAS were reset at approximately 1243 MST. 'he fuel building (ND) ventilation was returned to normal at approximately 1247 MST.. The control room and control building ventilation were returned to normal at approximately 1258 MST.-
The "BH train essential cooling water, essential chiller, and essential spray pond systems were stopped at approximately 1300 MST.
Status of structures, systems, or components that were inoperable at the start of the event that contributed to the event:
The ventilation to the DC equipment room and battery rooms was inoperable at the time of the event., In order to support the outage work on the ventilation'See LER 528/89-23-00), the "Av class 1E battery was disconnected from the distribution bus.

I. Cause of Event:
An investigation is being performed to determine the root cause of the event. In support of the investigation, voltage data from the inverter to the 120 volt AC instrumentation and control distribution panel, the voltage regulator to the 120 volt AC instrumentation and control distribution panel, and the battery charger to the 125 volt DC distribution panel were recorded during the reperformance of the RCP 2A uncoupled impeller motor run on January 5, 1990. A supplemental report will be submitted providing the results of this investigation.
J. Safety System Response:
The. containment purge (CP)(BK) isolation valves were isolated prior to the event; therefore, the CPIAS did not result in actuation of any CP components per design.
The FBEVAS stopped the normal fuel building AHUs, isolated the normal supply and exhaust dampers (DMP), and started the fuel NRC Form 356A (686)

K. Failed Component Information:
Not applicable - No failures were involved.
II. ASSESSMENT OF THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCES AND IMPLICATIONS OF THIS EVENT:
The undervoltage condition on the "A" AC vital instrument distribution panel, caused by the starting of the RCP 2A motor, only lasted a few seconds as indicated by computer printout following the event. The voltage returned 'to normal immediately after the RCP motor was stopped.
Alarms were only received on the KA" AC vi.tal instrumentation and control distribution bus indicating the undervoltage conditi.on only affected one of the four vital instrumentation and control distribution panels. The availability of redundant instrumentation and control Gistributio2) panels and the short dura"ion of the electrica transien did not effect the ability to monitor and operate systems requir'ed by technical specifications.
The initiation of emergency ventilation and emergency cooling water systems was the result of an undervoltage condition and not the re'suit of abnormal levels of radiation. The safety systems responded as designed. Therefore, this event did not have an effect on the health and safety of the public.
