Follow up reports indicated an oil leak from a current transformer. Two other PCBs were identified to have visible damage. After the event, while opening MODS for PCBs that tripped open, the 'A' phase for one MOD did not open.</br>No safety related equipment required to establish or maintain safe shutdown was affected.
