except the highly improl,able:aequence deacribed above.

In order to. provide further assurance of required ClaH IE operation even undf!r the IIOU adverse conditions, two levels of undervoltage protection will be provided.

for the Class l E buses.

The first level of protection is. provided.to trip the offaite power

  • source breakers arid'start and load* the diesel generator* in the caae of a lose of offsite power.

A,et of widervoltage relays vtll be provided for each ClaH IE bus, set to trip: at 86% of 110tor rated voltaae. The undervoltage relays, fol1ovtn1 a l second fixed tliie delay, wUi initiate the neceB&ary logic to r,onnect the ClaH lE buaea to the dteael generaton.

A LOCA signal initiates a diesel generator start signal, however, the.

diesel geriei'ator breaker ia not closed unless an undervoltage condition.

exists~. Hence, even if a LOCA aignal ts rec.eived during the l second time delay vhen voltage ta 86%, a system performance'within regulatory re-quirements is still met.

A short time delay *111 required for this level of protection to allow time for fault cle~rtng operations to attempt to return the system to an acceptable level.

The second level of undervoltage.protection will be provided to.insure the off site power source does not degrade to.a level. which* could jeopardize starting of Class lE motors in an adverie situation.

A second set of undervoltage relays will be provided for each ClaH lE bus, set to trip at 96% of motor rated voltage.* The undervoltage relays will energhe two separate time delay relays.

The first time delay relay will initate undervoltage alarms apd a diesel generator start signal after 15 secon~s. The second tilne delay, will be set for approxlmately 5 n1inutes at which time the offsite source breakers: will be tripped and tile diesel* gener11tor loaded on the bus~.*.The five minute timer wtU also insure against motor overheating between 90% and 86% voltage *. The 1110tors purchased for Perry have perfol'liance characteristics.11uch that they can operate for. !nfrequerat 5 minute pedoda:at' 70% 'voltage.*..,,..
