6. Verifying the diesel generator _is aligned to provide standby power to the associated emergency busses.

7. Verifying the pressure in all diesel generator air start receivers to be greater than or equal to 325 psig. l  ;

8. Verifying the lube oil pressure, temperature and differential pressure across the lube oil filters to be within manufac-turer's specifications. J j

I

b. At least once per 31 days by. visually examining a sample of lube oil 1 from the diesel engine to verify absence of water.

c. At least once per 31 days and after each operation of the diesel where the period of operation was greater than or equal to 1 hour1.157407e-5 days <br />2.777778e-4 hours <br />1.653439e-6 weeks <br />3.805e-7 months <br /> by checking for and removing accumulated water from the fuel oil day tank.

d. At least once per 92 days by removing accumulated water from the fuel oil storage tanks. l

e. At least once per 31 days by performing a functional test on the emergency load sequencer to verify operability.

l

f. At least once per 92 days and from new fuel oil prior to addition to the storage tanks by obtaining a sample in accordance with ASTM-D270-1975 and by verifying that the sample meets the following 3 minimum requirements and is tested within the specified time .!

limits: i

1. As soon as sample is taken or from new fuel prior to addition l to the storage tank, as applicable, verify in accordance with l the tests specified in ASTM-0975-77 that the sample has:

a) A water and sediment content of less than or equal to 0.05 volume percent. -

b) A kinematic viscosity @ 40*C of greater than or equal to 1.9 centistokes, but less than or equal to 4.1 centistokes or a Saybolt Second Universal (SSU) viscosity at 100*F of greater than or equal to 32 SSU but less than or equal to 40.1 SSU. e c) A specific gravity as specified by the manufacturer as API gravity @ 60 F of greater than or equal to 28 degrees but less than or equal to 42 degrees.

I 2. Within one week after obtaining the sample,. verify an impurity level of less than 2 mg of insolubles per 100 ml. when tested in accordance with ASTM-D2274-70.

3. Within 2 weeks after obtaining the sample, verify that the other properties specified in Table 1 of ASTM-0975-77 and s Regulatory Guide 1.137, Position 2.a, are met when tested in accordance with ASTM-0975-77.

g. At least once per 2 months, isy verifying the buried fuel ' oil transfer piping's cathWic protection system is OPERABLE and at least once per j year by subjecting the cathodic protection system to a performance test. .

h. At least once per 18 months #, during shutdown, by:

1. Subjecting the diesel to an inspection in accordance with procedures prepared in conjunction with its manufacturer's recommendations for this class of standby service.

2. Verifying the diesel generator capability to reject a load of greater than or equal to that of the RHR pump motor (1003 kW) for each diesel generator while maintaining voltage at 4160 1 420 volts and frequency at 60

• 1.2 Hz.

3. Verifying the diesel generator capability to reject a load of 4430 kW without tripping. The generator voltage shall not I -

exceed 4580 volts during and following the load rejection.

4. Simulating a loss of offsite power by itself, and:

a) Verifying loss of power is detected and~deenergization of the emergency busses and load shedding from the emergency busses, b) Verifying the diesel generator starts

• on the auto-start signal, energizes the emergency busses with permanently connected loads within 10 seconds after receipt of the start signal, energizes the autoconnected shutdown loads through the load sequencer and operates for greater than or equal to 5 minutes while its generator is loaded with the shutdown loads. After energization, the steady state voltage and frequency of the emergency busses shall be maintained at 4160 1 420 volts and 60

• 1.2 Hz during this test.- .l

• This diesel generator start (10 sec) and subsequent loading (130 sec) from ambient conditions may be preceded by an engine prelube period and/or other warmup procedures recommended by the manufacturer so that mechanical' stress and wear on the diesel engine is minimized.

1. For any start of a diesel generator, the diesel must be loaded in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
