LER ATI'ACHMENT - RO #2-81-61 Facility: BSEP Unit No. 2 Event Date: 06/29/81 During the initial performance of the periodic test (PT), No. 4 diesel generator did not develop generator field voltage because a f ailed electrical coil in the generator's field shorting device No. 17 prevented the contacts from opening.

This device is designed to short the generator's electrical field when t's diesel is not running. When the diesel is started, the device's coil is

  • energized to open electrical contacts and allow the generator field to flash.

Whenever a diese'. trip is initiated, the device's coil is again energized and the contacts are closed thus ollapsing the generator's field. An inspection of this coil e- *.he remaining three diesel genera:ars did not reveal any problems.

No specific cause could be determined for the coil failure. This event is considered to be isolated requiring no further corrective action.
