At 2045 on 6-29-91, a Unit one reactor trip occurred. Two of the neutral overcurrent relays on the IB unit auxiliary transformer (UAT) actuated resulting in a generator trip. By design, the generator trip caused the turbine to trip ,
and the turbine trip caused the reactor to trip.
The low and high setpoint neutral overcurrent relays on the 1B UAT actuated as a result of an electrical fault. The fault was caused by a broken strand of a multiple stranded conductor coming into contact with the grounded core frame structure of the transformer. The multiple stranded conductor is located in the transformer oil box and connects the transformer winding to the transformer output bushing.
i The conductor was repaired by removing the loose strand and reinsulating the conductor. The integrity of the conductor and crimp connection was verified prior to reinstallation of the insulation.
The IB UAT was returned to service on 3-16-93 at 0227.

TEAR 5EO hum REW Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Unit 1 05000348 91 007 01 2 N 3 IEu Plant and System Identification Westinghouse - Pressurized Water Reactor Energy Industry Identification System codes are identified in the text as [XX).
Summary of Event At 2045 on 6-29-91, a reactor trip occurred. Two of the neutral overcurrent relays on the IB UAT [EA) actuated resulting in a generator trip. By design, the generator trip caused the turbine to trip and the turbine trip caused the reactor to trip, e
Description of Event on 6-29-91, Unit 1 was operating at approximately 100 percent power. At 2045, the low and high setpoint neutral overcurrent relays on one of the low side windings (Y vinding) of the 1B UAT actuated. By design, this protective relay scheme caused the main generator to trip. The main turbine and reactor tripped per design in response to the generator trip.
Following the trip the operators implemented FNP-1-EEP-0 (Reactor Trip or Safety !
Injection) and FNP-1-ESP-0.1 (Reactor Trip Response), ensuring that the unit was safely in Mode 3 (Hot Standby). The unit was maintained in a stable condition.
After the trip occurred, an investigation was conducted to determine the cause.
Testing performed on the transformer and its associated 4160 volt cables and protective relaying was indeterminate. The transformer was then energized and partially loaded and instrumented with test equipment during the Unit 1 eleventh refueling outage (September - December, 1992) with no problems indicated.
Upon Unit 1 startup on December 2, 1992, while at approximately 13 percent reactor power, a turbine trip and exciter breaker trip occurred shortly after generator field voltage was applied. Generator output voltage had reached approximately 10 kv or 45 percent rated terminal voltage when the trip occurred. ;
Initial investigation revealed that a ground fault had occurred on the IB UAT Y vinding circuit. The test equipment which had been set up after the initial ;
trip indicated that a fault had occurred inside the transformer. When the transformer oil box was partially disassembled and inspected, the broken conductor strand was located. ,
i Cause of Event !
The fault was the result of a broken strand of a multiple stranded conductor internal to the transformer coming into contact with the grounded core frame ,
structure of the transformer. A contributing factor was the proximity of the l loose strand to the transformer oil pump discharge. Another factor was the i unraveled insulation on the conductor which allowed the oil pump discharge to ,
force the strand from the crimp towards the grounded core frame support structure.

Joseph M. Farley Nuclear Plant - Unit 1 05000348 91 007 01 3 0F 3 un l Reportability Analysis and Safety Assessment This event (on 6-29-91) is reportable because of the actuation of the reactor l protection system. After the trip, the following safety systems operated as j designed; j t
- main feedwater was isolated with flow control valves and bypass valves :
closed,
- auxiliary feedwater pumps started automatically and provided flow to !
the steam generators, !
- source range nuclear instrumentation automatically energized,
- pressurizer heaters and spray valves operated automatically as required to maintain system pressure. t l
There was no effect on the health and safety of the public. !
t Corrective Action [
i The conductor was repaired by removing the loose strand and reinsulating the . !
conductor. The integrity of the conductor and crimp connection was verified [
prior to reinstallation of the insulation. !
, )
The IB UAT was returned to service on 3-16-93 at 0227. ;
Inspection of the other UATs will be performed during the next refueling outage ;
on each unit. The next refueling outage on Unit 1 is scheduled to begin in
- March of 1994 and the next refueling outage on Unit 2 is scheduled to begin in j-September, 1993. A study was conducted to determine if the design of the Farley l l Nuclear Plant start-up transformers (SUls) could present similar problems. The !
E study indicated that the UATs and the SUTs are similar in design, thus the j start-up transformers will also be scheduled for inspection during the next ;
refueling outages on each unit. f Additional Information [
