4.e) The ECS provides two loss-of-voltage signals to the onsite standby power system (ZOS),

one for each diesel-backed 6900 Vac switchgear bus.

4.f) The ECS provides a reverse-power trip of the generator circuit breaker which is blocked for at least 15 seconds following a turbine trip.

5. Controls exist in the MCR to cause the circuit breakers identified in Table 2.6.1-3 to perform the listed functions.
6. Displays of the parameters identified in Table 2.6.1-3 can be retrieved in the MCR.

Inspections, Tests, Analyses Tests will be performed using a test signal to confirm that an electrical path exists for each selected load listed in Table 2.6.1-2 from an ECS-ES-1 or ECS-ES-2 bus. Each test may be a single test or a series of overlapping tests.

Tests on the as-built ECS system will be conducted by simulating a loss-of-voltage condition on each diesel-backed 6900 Vac switchgear bus.

Tests on the as-built ECS system will be conducted by simulating a turbine trip signal followed by a simulated reverse-power condition. The generator circuit breaker trip signal will be monitored.

Tests will be performed to verify that controls in the MCR can operate the circuit breakers identified in Table 2.6.1-3.

Inspection will be performed for retrievability of the displays identified in Table 2.6.1-3 in the MCR.

Acceptance Criteria A test signal exists at the terminals of each selected load.

A loss-of-voltage signal is generated when the loss-of-voltage condition is simulated.

The generator circuit breaker trip signal does not occur until at least 15 seconds after the simulated turbine trip.

Controls in the MCR cause the circuit breakers identified in Table 2.6.1-3 to operate.

Displays identified in Table 2.6.1-3 can be retrieved in the MCR.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-23-0575 Enclosure Page 3 of 9 ITAAC Determination Basis Testing and inspection were performed to verify that the Main AC Power System (ECS) performs the following:

The ECS provides the capability for distributing non-Class 1E ac power from onsite sources (ZOS) to nonsafety-related loads listed in Combined License (COL) Table 2.6.1-2 (Attachment A).

The ECS provides two loss-of-voltage signals to the onsite standby power system (ZOS),

one for each diesel-backed 6900 Vac switchgear bus.

The ECS provides a reverse-power trip of the generator circuit breaker which is blocked for at least 15 seconds following a turbine trip.

Controls exist in the MCR to cause the circuit breakers identified in COL Table 2.6.1-3 (Attachment B) to perform the listed functions.

Displays of the parameters identified in COL Table 2.6.1-3 (Attachment B) can be retrieved in the MCR.

A test signal exists at the terminals of each selected load.

Testing was performed as documented in Reference 1 to verify that electrical paths exist for each selected load listed in Combined License (COL) Table 2.6.1-2 (Attachment A) from the ECS-ES-1 6900 Vac Switchgear Bus 1 or the ECS-ES-2 6900 Vac Switchgear Bus 2.

Reference 1 verified that power supply cables/wiring were installed and terminated from an ECS-ES-1 or ECS-ES-2 bus to the terminals for Day Tank Heater Pads A & B, Air-cooled Chiller 2 & 3 Piping Heat Trace, and Air-cooled Chiller 2 Control and Heat Trace (as identified in Attachment A) and documents continuity testing performed on each of the installed cables/wiring to verify that a test signal exists at the terminals. ECS-ES-1 and ECS-ES-2 were energized from the standby diesel generator by paralleling each diesel to its respective ES bus and loading the diesel to full load as documented in Reference 1. Work instructions listed in Reference 1 tested each remaining load listed in Attachment A and verified that each remaining load was de-energized, the power supply breaker(s) were then closed, and the load was verified to be energized. Pressurizer heaters (listed in Attachment A) were de-energized and during RCS pressure control testing, it was verified that the heaters were energized as documented in Reference 1. This constituted a series of overlapping tests to test all components. The combined test results confirmed that a test signal exists at the terminals of each selected load.

A loss-of-voltage signal is generated when the loss-of-voltage condition is simulated.

Testing was performed as documented in Reference 1 to verify that the ECS provides two loss-of-voltage signals to the onsite standby power system (ZOS), one for each diesel-backed 6900 Vac switchgear bus. The loss-of-voltage protection circuit for each switchgear bus and the diesel generator starting control circuitry were monitored. A loss-of-voltage condition was simulated at each diesel-backed 6900 Vac switchgear to initiate the loss-of voltage condition.

The loss-of-voltage condition was verified to initiate switchgear supply breakers opening, switchgear load breakers opening and the starting of the respective standby generator. The completed test results confirmed a loss-of-voltage signal is generated when the loss of voltage condition is simulated on each switchgear bus.

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission ND-23-0575 Enclosure Page 4 of 9 The generator circuit breaker trip signal does not occur until at least 15 seconds after the simulated turbine trip.

Testing was performed as documented in Reference 1 with the turbine tripped. Test equipment was utilized to simulate a reverse power condition to the reverse power relay (RY1) and a timer was started. The timer was stopped when the reverse power relay output to the generator lockout relay (86SEQ1) was actuated, and the time was recorded. The generator circuit breaker trip circuit contacts were verified to close when the 86SEQ1 relay actuated. This testing was repeated for the RY2 and 86SEQ2 relays. The time delay for the Unit 4 RY1 relay was 16.99 sec and 16.99 sec for RY2. The test results confirmed that the generator circuit breaker trip signal does not occur until at least 15 seconds after the simulated turbine trip.

Controls in the MCR cause the circuit breakers identified in Table 2.6.1-3 to operate.

Testing was performed as documented in Reference 1 to verify controls in the MCR operate to cause the 6900 Vac Switchgear Bus 1 and 6900 Vac Switchgear Bus 2 circuit breakers listed in Combined License (COL) Table 2.6.1-3 (Attachment B) to operate. The control functions of each circuit breaker were tested and verified by inspection. The test results confirmed that controls in the MCR can operate the circuit breakers identified in Attachment B.

Displays identified in Table 2.6.1-3 can be retrieved in the MCR.

An inspection was performed as documented in Reference 1 for ECS and ZAS (Main Generator System) which visually confirmed that when each of the displays of parameters identified in Attachment B was summoned at an MCR workstation, the summoned plant parameter appeared on a display monitor at that MCR workstation.

Reference 1 is available for NRC inspection as part of Unit 4 ITAAC Completion Package (Reference 2).
