Emergency Diesel Generat*or
#3 (EDG) (EIIS-DG) automatically started, which is an engineered safety feature actuation.
At 0930 hours, the alarms cleared. At 0946 hours, EDG #3 was placed in its cooldown cycle, At 0950 hours, it was returned to the automatic mode. At 0954 hours, the alarm for Bus lJ undervoltage was received, and the #3 EDG auto-started again and was manually loaded onto lJ Bus. The cause of the auto-start of 113 EDG was a blown DC fuse (EIIS-FU) in the degraded voltage circuit. Relay (EIIS-59) 59 ABC-lJl, the overvoltage relay surge capacitor, failed and shorted to the relay case. This caused the positive DC fuse in the degraded voltage circuit to blow. The first auto-start of #3 EDG at 0928 hours was due to the arcing of the surge capacitor with the relay case. When the surge capacitor failed and flashed to ground, DC power was lost, causing the undervoltage signal and the auto-start of the diesel at 0954 hours. The undervoltage relay 59 ABC-lJl and the DC control fuse were replaced, and the circuit was returned to normal, The #3 EDG was stopped and placed in automatic at 1655 hours. 8712310232 871222 PIIR AIIOCK 05000280 -_j s DCII NRC Form 386 !fl f!j I a e ----------......;~----------....Z~---~---

and Bus lJ overvoltage alarm {EIIS-ANN}
were received.
Operations personnel observed that the main station battery {EIIS-BTRY}
ground *lights flickered.
Emergency Diesel Generator 43 (EDG) {EIIS-DG}
automatically started, which is an engineered safety feature actuation.
At 0930 hours, the alarms cleared. At 0946 hours, EOG 43 was placed in its cooldown cycle. At 0950 hours, it was returned to the automatic mode. At 0954 hours, the alarm for Bus lJ undervoltage was received and the 43 EOG auto-started again and was manually.loaded onto lJ Bus. 2.0 Safety Consequences and Implications The i3 EOG is designed to supply power to either the Unit 1 (lJ) emergency bus or the Unit 2 (2J) emergency bus. During this event, the *3 EOG was paralleled and loaded tn the lJ emergency bus. During this time, *3 EI)(:, remained capable of supplying power to Unit 2 (2J) emergency bus. Therefore, the health and safety of the public were not affected.
3.0 cause The cause of the auto-start of i3 EOG was a blown DC fuse {EIIS-FU}
in the degraded voltage_circuit.
Relay {EIIS-59}
59 ABC-lJl, the overvoltage relay surge capacitor, failed and shorted to the relay case. This caused the positive DC fuse in the degraded voltage circuit to blow. The first auto-start of 13 EDG at 0928 hours was due to the arcing of the surge capacitor with the relay case. When the surge capacitor failed and flashed to ground, DC power was lost, causing the undervoltage signal and the auto-start of the diesel at 0954 hours. 4.0 Immediate Corrective Action The inunediate corrective actions included paralleling EOG 13 with lJ emergency bus's normal supply and loading the diesel onto the bus.
