STATION ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM VOLTAGE ANALYSIS OYSTER CREEK NUCLEAR GENERATING STATION 1276 138 i 791106 0 3Oy October, 1979

I. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to determine analytically if the oi .,ite power system and the onsite distribution system for Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station is of sufficient capacity and capability to automa-tically start as well as operate all required safety loads within their required voltage ratings in the event of: 1) an anticipated transient (such as a unit trip); or 2) e.n accident (such as a LOCA). This must be assured regardless of other actions the electric power system is designed to automatically initiate and without the need for manual shedding of any electric loads. The impetus for this study was the Arkansas Nuclear One event of September 16, 1978, which was described in NRC IE Information Notice No. 79-04, and the NRC letter of August 8, 1979, to all Power Reactor Licensees which contained specific actions required to be taken as a result of the Arkansas event.

II. EXISTING CONDITIONS AT OYSTER CREEK Undervoltage relays are presently provided for the 4160V buses l A,18, 1C, and 1D, and for the Start-up Transformers SA and SB, and are fed from 4200-120V potential transformers. These relays are all General Electric type IAV53K, under/overvoltage induction relays. The under-voltage trip point for these relays is presently set at 88% of the 93V overvoltage trip set point or 2864V on the 4160V buses. With this set point, they will trip in 3 seconds on total loss of voltage.

In addition to these undervoltage relays, some 460V loads are provided with undervoltage trip devices which are integrally mounted in individual circuit breakers. These undervoltage devices trip their individual loads after 5 seconds of less than 50% voltage 1276 139

The grid voltage is limited to V:,ltages between 212.75 KV and 238 KV per Attachment #1. The Auxiliary Transformer is set on tap number 5; and, the Start-up Transformers are set on tap number 4. Unit Substation Transformers iA1, 1B1, lA3, and 1B3 are set on tap number 1; and Unit Substation Transformers lA2 and 1B2 are set on tap number 3.

III. ANALYTICAL RESULTS A. General The voltage drop study for all safety-related buses and pumps was done using an approved Burns and Roe, Inc. computer program, EL0110E.

This program has been used for a number of other plant studies, including Three Mile Island, Unit No. 2. In addition, per an NRC request, this program was field verified on Three Mile Island Unit No. 2 to assure its accuracy. The results of the program were within 2% of the field measured values as shown on Attachment #2. This testing provides confidence that the analysis performed accurately predicts the performance of the Oyster Creek systems since testing at Three Mile Island Unit No. 2 verified the capabilities of the program.

The voltage drop calculations for all safety-related valve feeder cables were performed using an iterative approach based on the formula:

VD= KVA (R cos 0 + X sin 0)

VA V3 where VD =Line to Line Voltage Drop; V = AAssumed Motor Terminal Voltage; KVA= Load KVA; 0= Load Power Factor Angle; R= cable resistance; and X= cable reactance.

The assumptions made for the purposes of this program are listed on Attachment #1. Although these are assumptions, they are all firmly based on experience, testing, specification requirements, industry standards, or manufacturer's guarantees. In addition, all assumpt ~ ;ns were made in line with the intent of making this a worst case analysis.

B. Undervoltacee The results of the analysis for Oyster Creek are shown on Tables I, II, III, and IV. As shown on Attachment #1, the minimum allowable voltages for 440 V motors are: 347 V running, and 330 V starting.-

For 4000 V motors the minimum voltages are: 3400 V running, and 3000 V starting.

Thus, with the grid at its minimum of 212.75 KV as stated in Attachment #1, all safety-related motors will have sufficient voltage at their terminals to stcrt and operate within their ratings.

Also, since the minimum Motor Control Center voltage at which all starters can be guaranteed to pick up is 403V, as shown on Attachment

1. 1, all safety-related starters can be shown to pick up under worst case loading and minimum grid voltage.

As stated in Attachment #1, the drop out voltage for the starters at Oyster Creek is 276 V at the Motor Control Center, allowing for voltage drop in the control wiring. This study shows that the lowest voltage a safety-related Motor Control Center will momentarily drop to, when starting the largest non-safety related load, is 326 V.

Therefore, at minimun orid voltane, full load, and starting the largest non-safety related load, the starters will not drop out.

C. Overvoltage As mentioned above, the transformer taps for U.S.S. lA2 and 182 are set on tap #3. The study indicates that with the grid voltage of 238 KV, a minimum load of 2.5 MW randomly distributed among the buses on each Start-up Transformer, and the U.S.S.'s on tap #3 the maximum MCC voltage is 498 V. Per Attachment #1, the maximum voltage for which the 440V motors at Oyster Creek are rated is 484V.

Thus, even taking credit for voltage drop in the motor feeders will not guarantee that the motors' maximum voltage limit is not exceeded.

.

However, exceeding the motors' maximun voltage limit, is only a potential problem when the plant is not in operation, with a minimal auxiliary load and a grid voltage higher than approximately 233 KV.

In addition, this value of overvoltage is not deemed to be a problem in that there will be less current draw at these higher voltages. This means that the motor winding temperature will be decreased; the amount of wear will be decreased; and the amount of insulation breakdown will be decreased. Therefore, operation of the motors at these higher levels of voltage will not have an adverse effect on the life of the motors.

In conclusion, the possibility of this overvoltage is deemed to be fairly remote. The value of 498 volts (+ 13.2%) is insignificantly above the specified value of 484 volts (+10%) and does not take into account the voltage drop in the feeder cables. Also, during a LOCA, as more loads are stm ted, the voltage level drops such that this

" worst case" overvoltage condition will be maintained for no more than three (3) minutes.

Sh. 1 of 2 Attachment #1 - Assumptions

1. According to General Electric technical publication No. GET-3101C, which was in effect at the time of MCC fabrication, the following starter voltage criteria apply:

Normal Voltage 460 VAC Drop Out Voltage 60% of normal (276 V)

Pick Up Voltage 85% of normal (391 V)

Testing of safety related starters at-Oyster Creek showed that Size 1 and Size 2 starters.will pick up below this value, but 85% was used for this study since this is the value guaranteed by General Electric.

2. The maximum voltage drop in control wir.ing for any safety-related starter circuit is 3 V. Since the motor starters' control transformers have a 4:1 ratio, 12 V on the primary of these transformers is re-quired to account for this control wiring voltage drop.

Thus the minimum voltage on the primary side of the control transformers which will guarantee cl1 starters pick up is 403 V (391'V (from #1 above) +12 V) .

3. Per random specifications which were checked, safety-related motors furnished for Oyster Creek were required to be capable of starting satisfactorily at a minimum voltage of 75% nominal. In addition, they were required to be capable of continuous operation at any voltage between +10% and -15% of nominal. Thus the guaranteed running voltage for motors rated at 440 V is from 374 V to 484 V with a minimum of 330 V required for starting.

For motors rated at 4000 V, the operating range is from 3400 V to 4400 V with 3000 V required for starting.

4. The longest time required for any large motor at Oyster Creek to accelerate to running speed. wi.th rat.ed_ volt _ age..a_tc,.i,ts termina-1scis.5.= seconds .

5. Per General Electric, the starting inrush for their starters at rated voltage is as follows:

Size 1 145 VA Size 2 528 VA

.

1276 147

.

Attachment #1 sh. 2 of 2

6. The minimum load on the Start-Up Transformers is 2.5 MW each. The basis for this valve is plant operating experience.

7. Where vendor information for motors was not available, the following values were used:

Efficiency .9 Running pf .85 Starting pf .2 Lock Rotor / Full Load Current 6.5 Brake HP Nameplate HP

8. ES signals trip the Reactor Recirculation Pumps.

9. The grid voltage range is from 212.75 KV to 238 KV.

These valves were predicted by grid stability analysis.

10. Control relays are rated at 120 V and can withstand +10%

overvoltage. This is equivalent to 528 V @ the 480 V level.
