hiEMO FOR FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION TO CONFIRM PROMPT REPORTABLE OCCURRENCE 335-80-4 IMPROPER ELECTRICAL LINEUP This memo is to confirm the telephone notification made to Mr.Martin of your office on 1/24/80.At about 3:00 PM on 1/24/80 it was noted that a feeder breaker (2B4-5)from the B Startup transformer to the B 4160V vital bus was open.This condition had existed since 5:00 PM on 1/18/80 and was not in compliance with T.S.3.8.1.1.Action a.regarding offsite A.C.power supplies which require testing of the"B" Diesel Generator (D/G)every 8 hours9.259259e-5 days <br />0.00222 hours <br />1.322751e-5 weeks <br />3.044e-6 months <br /> when the"B" Startup transformer is out of service and limits the out of service period to 72 hours8.333333e-4 days <br />0.02 hours <br />1.190476e-4 weeks <br />2.7396e-5 months <br />.Additionally for 5-1/2 hours on 1/24/80 the A D/G was taken out of service for periodic maintenance.

The sur-veillance requirements and time limits of T.S.3.8.1.1.Action b.were met.Also the B D/G was tested satisfactorily on 1/18/80 and again on 1/24/80 so it was operable during the period in question as was the"A" Startup transformer, and (except for the period on 1/24/80)"A" D/G.The breaker was closed by 3:15 PM on 1/24/80.The apparent cause is an improperly labeled breaker.For interim protection until this matter has been thoroughly investigated, the A and B breaker cubicles have been locked and are being surveilled daily.(The breakers were checked every 2 hours2.314815e-5 days <br />5.555556e-4 hours <br />3.306878e-6 weeks <br />7.61e-7 months <br /> until this action was completed.)

Also, no switching orders on this system will be performed until we are sure the problem has been thoroughly investigated and is fully understood.
