These relays provide input to a two out of three coincident relay logic foroperation. One of the functions of the undervoltage circuits is to sense a loss of voltagecondition and place the respective emergency bus on the Emergency Diesel Generator(EDG) [EIIS-EK-DG].On September 16, 2015, at 2014 hours with Units 1 and 2 operating at 100 percentpower, an undervoltage signal was generated during performance of the EmergencyBus Undervoltage and Degraded Voltage Protection Test. As a result, EDG 2 startedand loaded as designed on the Unit 2 'H' emergency bus.During performance of the test, the 'A' phase undervoltage portion of the test wassuccessfully completed and an indication light verified that 'A' phase was left in itsnormal energized condition. At 2014 hours, when testing of the 'B' phase began, aundervoltage signal was generated and EDG 2 started and assumed the load of theUnit 2 'H' emergency bus. The test was terminated and operations initiated theabnormal procedure for loss of the Unit 2 'H' emergency bus. At 2216 hours onSeptember 17, 2015, normal source power was restored to the 'H' bus and EDG 2 wasunloaded, taken offline and placed back in automatic at 2244 hours on September 17,2015.On September 17, 2015 at 0027 hours, an event notification was made to the NRC inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) for valid actuation of EDG 2 following loss ofthe Unit 2 'H' emergency bus during performance of the Emergency Bus Undervoltageand Degraded Protection Test.This report is being submitted, pursuant to, 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A), for automaticactuation of the EDG.2.0 SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONSEQUENCES AND IMPLICATIONSThis event resulted in no safety consequences or implications. Appropriate operatoractions were taken in accordance with abnormal operating procedures and the unitremained at 100 percent power. Station equipment was available and responded asdesigned.

These relays provide input to a two out of three coincident relay logic foroperation. One of the functions of the undervoltage circuits is to sense a loss of voltagecondition and place the respective emergency bus on the Emergency Diesel Generator(EDG) [EIIS-EK-DG].On September 16, 2015, at 2014 hours0.0233 days <br />0.559 hours <br />0.00333 weeks <br />7.66327e-4 months <br /> with Units 1 and 2 operating at 100 percentpower, an undervoltage signal was generated during performance of the EmergencyBus Undervoltage and Degraded Voltage Protection Test. As a result, EDG 2 startedand loaded as designed on the Unit 2 'H' emergency bus.During performance of the test, the 'A' phase undervoltage portion of the test wassuccessfully completed and an indication light verified that 'A' phase was left in itsnormal energized condition. At 2014 hours0.0233 days <br />0.559 hours <br />0.00333 weeks <br />7.66327e-4 months <br />, when testing of the 'B' phase began, aundervoltage signal was generated and EDG 2 started and assumed the load of theUnit 2 'H' emergency bus. The test was terminated and operations initiated theabnormal procedure for loss of the Unit 2 'H' emergency bus. At 2216 hours0.0256 days <br />0.616 hours <br />0.00366 weeks <br />8.43188e-4 months <br /> onSeptember 17, 2015, normal source power was restored to the 'H' bus and EDG 2 wasunloaded, taken offline and placed back in automatic at 2244 hours0.026 days <br />0.623 hours <br />0.00371 weeks <br />8.53842e-4 months <br /> on September 17,2015.On September 17, 2015 at 0027 hours3.125e-4 days <br />0.0075 hours <br />4.464286e-5 weeks <br />1.02735e-5 months <br />, an event notification was made to the NRC inaccordance with 10 CFR 50.72(b)(3)(iv)(A) for valid actuation of EDG 2 following loss ofthe Unit 2 'H' emergency bus during performance of the Emergency Bus Undervoltageand Degraded Protection Test.This report is being submitted, pursuant to, 10 CFR 50.73(a)(2)(iv)(A), for automaticactuation of the EDG.2.0 SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONSEQUENCES AND IMPLICATIONSThis event resulted in no safety consequences or implications. Appropriate operatoractions were taken in accordance with abnormal operating procedures and the unitremained at 100 percent power. Station equipment was available and responded asdesigned.

However, an indication light verified that 'A'phase was in its normal powered condition. Therefore, when the 'B' phase undervoltagetest began and the 'B' phase relay was deenergized, the two out of three coincidentlogic was met resulting in the normal power supply breaker to the 'H' bus to open, asdesigned. EDG 2 started and loaded as designed on the Unit 2 'H' emergency bus.The direct cause of the 'A' single phase relay not resetting was debris and warping inthe relay slug chamber and signs of heat damage. These conditions prevented smoothmovement of the relay slug in the chamber and resulted in it sticking and preventing therelay contacts from changing state.The apparent cause of the undervoltage signal and resultant loss of the Unit 2 'H'emergency bus was a procedural deficiency that relied upon a light indication of powerto the relay but did not verify the position of the relay after each step of the undervoltagetest.4.0 IMMEDIATE CORRECTIVE ACTION(S)Normal offsite power was restored to the 'H' bus at 2216 hours0.0256 days <br />0.616 hours <br />0.00366 weeks <br />8.43188e-4 months <br /> on September 17, 2015and EDG 2 was unloaded, taken offline and placed back in automatic.
