Description of Occurrence:
During routine surveillance testing at 1300 hours0.015 days <br />0.361 hours <br />0.00215 weeks <br />4.9465e-4 months <br /> on May 26, 1974, emergency diesel generator K4B was synchronized through breaker 152-408 and tripped by actuation of the anti-motoring relay. The lockout relay was reset and the diesel restarted at which time it trippe'd by actuation of the overspeed relay.
Emergency diesel generator K4A had been successfully tested prior to this occurrence.
