2. ( 1111ty:

Crystal River Unic #3 3.

Report Date:

15 May 1978 4.

Occurrence Date:

25 April 1978 5.

Identification of occurrence:

Improper fuses installed in Vital Bus 3A.

6.

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

Mode 6 refueling.

7.

Description of Occurrence:

At 1115 during the investigation of inverter 3A tripping, it was discovered that five (5) circuits of Vital Bus 3A were improperly fused.

Discrepancy Report DR-533 was initiated to install proper fuses in Vital Bus 3A as indicated on 120 Volt AC Vital

. Bus 3A drawing #201-063, rev. 7.

DR-533 also initiated an investigatien into the I

three (3) r - 4ning 120 volt Vital Busses to ensure that proper fuses have been installed as indicated on the applicable drawings.

8.

D:signation of Apparent Cause:

The cause of this event was due to the installation of incorrect fuses in Vital Bus N

3A circuits during the construction and testing phase.

9.

Analysis of Occ'urrence:

No hazard to the health and 9afety of the general public as vital Bus 3A circuits were still protected because there are circuit breakers vired in series with the fuses.

10.

Corrective Action

Plant operating records were thoroughly searched in an effort to determine when the incorrect fuses were initially installed.

The results of this invest 1gation revealed that the fuses were not installed during the operational phase of the plant. An investigation was also made into the three (3) remaining 120 Volt Vital Busses to ensure that proper fuses have been installed as indicated on applicable engineering drawings.

11.

Failure Data:

First occurrence of as event of this type.
