ELECTRICAL PoltER SYSTEMS SURVEILLANCE REQUIREMENTS (Continued) 2.
There is no visible corrosion at battery terminals and connectors, or the connection resistance of these items is 5150 x 10 chm, c
and 3.
The average electrolyte temperature of 12 of the connected cells is above 60*F.
c.
At least once per 18 months by verifying that:
1.
.The cells, cell plates, and battery racks show no visual indication of physical damage or abnormal deterioration, 2.
The call-to-cell and terminal connections are clean, tight, and coated with anti-corrosion material, 3.
The resistance of each cell-to-cell and terminal connection is less than or equal to 150 x 10 ohn, and 4.
The battery charger will supply 2 300 amperes at 2 125 volts for 2 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br />.
d.
At least once per 18 months, during shutdown, by verifying that the battery capacity is adequate to supply and maintain in CPERABLE status all of the actual or simulated emergency loads for the design duty cycle when the battery is subjected to a battery service test.
e.
At least once per 60 months, during shutdown, by verifying that the battery capacity is at least 80% of the manufacturer's rating when subjected to a performance discharge test.
Once per 60-month interval this performance discharge test may be performed in lieu of the battery service test.
f.
At least once per 18 months, during shutdown, performance discharge tests of battery capacity shall be given to any battery that shows signs of degradation or has reached 85% of the service life expected for the application. Degradation is indicated when the battery capacity drops more than 10% of rated capacity from its average on previous performance tests, or is below 90% of the manufacturer's rating.
ARKANSAS - UNIT 2 3/4 8-9 Amendment No. 44,198
3/4.8 ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEMS EASES Containment electrical penetrations and penetration conductors are protected by either de-energizing circuits not required during reactor operation or by demonstrating the OPERABILITY of primary and backup overcurrent protection circuit breakers during periodic surveillance. The 480 volt air frame protective devices utiliza electro-mechanical overcurrent elements which are mounted on the protective device and, in some instances, protective relays to trip the protective device. Actuation of the overcurrent element or relay will trip the protective device. The molded case protective devices utilize magnetic or thermal-magnetic overcurrent elements which are contained in the protective device. Actuation of each overcurrent element will trip the protective device.
TS 3.8.2.3 Action "b" requires the performance of SR 4.8.2.3.a.1 within one hour and at least once per 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> thereafter for a loss of one of the required full capacity chargers. If any Category A limit in Table 4.8-2 is not met while a charger is inoperable, the associated battery bank shall be declared inoperable and ACTION *a" entered. The Category A limits in Table 4.8-2 specify the nornal limits for electrolyte level, float voltage and specific gravity for each designated pilot cell. When TS 3.8.2.3 ACTION 'b" is entered without the associated battery bank being on float (i.e. charger not connected to the bus), pilot cell float voltage is determined by smasuring pilot cell voltage. The term
- full capacity charger" as used in TS 3.8.2.3 is j
defined as a charger that is capable of supplying an output of 2 300 amperes.
