Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station 1.D. 1. Delta, Pennsylvania 17314 Identification of Occurrence:

Unit 3 Emer8ency Shutdown Panel RCIC static inverter tripping from

(

operation of the Barometric Condenser Condensate Pump Y!

Conditions Prior to Occurrence:

, Reactor at approximately 22". power with RCIC in test. at the Emergency Shutdown Panal.

4 Description of Occurrence.

q During the test run of the RCIC from the Emergency Shutdown Panel, the static-invertc; f c-ding the--RCIC flow-controllermethe taurgency Shutdown Panel tripped repeatedly upon starting of the'RCIC~: Barometric t.

. NCondenser Condensate Pump. Each time, it was immediately reset.

i

' Designation of Apparent Cause of Occurrence:

a2a:

Under investigation; preliminary investigation points to a failure in the trip circuitry of the particular inverter unit.

)'

Ow Analysis of Occurrence:

0 At the time of the inverter trippings, all other Unit 3 Emergency Core 1

$c Coolin6 Systems were operable. Due to this and the short times that h

88 the inverter was tripped, this occurrence has minimal safety significance.-

\\\\

jb h.? ',kd Corrective Action:

The problem was traced to the inverter unit, which was replaced with a id Y spare. The spara inverted has not tripped throughout the remainder of b

mn.m the RCIC testing at the Energency Shutdown Panel.
