Descrip tion o f C i rcums t ance s p%j. d' Two failures of essential services power supply at a reactor undergoing startup testing have resulten in low water levet scrams due to the inability to control fcedwater.
The essential services power supply system consists of a 120/200 V, single phase 33.3 KVa AC generator which is driven alternately by a 440 V, 3 phase 50 h.p. AC motor or in the event of loss of AC power, a 125 V 50 h.p. DC motor.
In the event of a failure of the essential services power suppl, a manual trans fer to a reserve 480-120/240 V, 37.5 KVa transformer is required to regain power to essential services buses.
Inis manual trans fer must ce performed in the auxiliary electric room located two stories below the control room.
Another similar facility Sas experienced a loss of essential services power with tue same low water level scram results, and requiring the same manual switching remote from the control room.
