==Subject:==
LOSS OF POWER TO SAFEGUARD BUSES At6:04a.m.,(CDT), July 25, 1985, the station's Low Voltage Station Auxiliary Transformer (LVSAT) tripped causing a loss of power to the Unit 1 safeguard buses. Both emergency diesel generators automatically started to provide power to the safeguard buses (Power also could have been supplied to the safeguard buses via cross-tie to Unit 2, which was unaffected by the transformer trip).
The licensee declared an unusual event at 6:25 a.m. (CDT), in accordance with its emergency procedures and commenced shutting down.
Tha cause of the transformer trip was attributed by the licensee to a pressure relay that had btcome wet during a rainstorm. The relay problem was later corrected and the transformer restored to operating condition. The unusual event was terminated at 9:13 a.m. (CDT) and the unit was returned to full power.
During the event, the resident inspector was in the control room monitoring licensee activities.
Th2 State of Wisconsin will be notified.
Tha Headquarters duty officer was first notified of this event at 6:37 a.m. (CDT),
July 25, 1985. This information is current as of 3 p.m. (CDT), July ~25, 1985.
