The"A" D/G was in Manual voltage control,'nd electrically loaded, per PT-12.1, to approximately two thousand (2000)kilowatts (KW), supplying power to 480 volt AC safeguards busses 14 and 18.The D/G was synchronized to the offsite distribution system, and was backfeeding some power to the offsite electrical distribution system.The offsite power to the plant was as follows:~Offsite power 34.5 KV Circuit 751 was lined up to supply power to safeguards busses 14 and 18 through 12A 34.5 KV/4160V transformer and through the safeguards busses 4160V/480V transformers.
In parallel with offsite power, the"A" D/G was also supplying power to these busses.~Offsite power 34.5 KV Circuit 767 was supplying power to safeguards busses 16 and 17 through 12B 34.5 KV/4160V transformer and through the safeguards busses 4160V/480V transformers.

This was a standard switching operation that has been performed a number of times.Upon opening breaker 5X20452,¹2 34.5 KV Bus at Station 204 experienced a high voltage condition.
After receiving the high voltage alarm,¹2 34.5 KV Bus transformer breaker (2T20452)unexpectedly tripped, isolating¹2 34.5 KV Bus from the rest of the electrical distribution system.NRC FORM 366A (5-92)

--005--REVISION 00 PAGE (3)4 OF 9 TEXT (If more space is required, use additional copies of NRC Form 366A)(17)The g2 34.5 KV Bus supplies Circuit 751, one of the two 34.5 KV transmission circuits that supplies offsite power to Ginna Station.Therefore, a partial loss of offsite power to Ginna occurred, as Circuit 751 was now isolated from the rest of the electrical distribution system.The other offsite power supply, from 34.5 KV Circuit 767, was unaffected and continued to supply power to 480V safeguards busses 16 and 17.Circuit 751 and the N2 34.5 KV Bus with their connected loads remained energized by the Ginna"A" D/G, since the D/G had been paralleled to the offsite electrical distribution system via Circuit 751.However, with the"A" D/G in Manual voltage control, the"A" D/G voltage output was reduced by the electrical loads on N2 34.5 KV bus, which resulted in a low voltage condition on busses 14 and 18.This voltage reduction resulted in actuation of undervoltage relays, which tripped the normal supply breakers to 480V busses 14 and 18.Tripping of the normal supply breakers to busses 14 and 18 isolated the"A" D/G and busses 14 and 18 from Circuit 751.The"A" D/G voltage (and the voltage on busses 14 and 18)recovered to above the undervoltage relay actuation setpoints.
Coincident with the low voltage on bus 14, low voltage occurred on the"B" Instrument Bus.Low voltage on the"B" Instrument Bus existed for approximately four (4)seconds.I At approximately 1421 EST, with the reactor at approximately 98%steady state reactor power and low voltage on the"B" Instrument Bus, the Control Room received numerous annunciator alarms.The Control Room operators immediately determined that a turbine runback had occurred.This runback was caused by one of four Overtemperature Delta Temperature (OT Delta T)channels and one of four Overpower Delta Temperature (OP Delta T)channels runback'signals.This runback decreases turbine load when the relays drop out.The Control Room operators responded to the annunciators, and immediately performed the appropriate actions of abnormal operating procedure AP-TURB.2,"Turbine Load Reduction".
The operators observed that the normal supply breakers for busses 14 and 18 had opened, and that the"A" D/G was supplying power to busses 14 and 18.Load on the"A" D/G stabilized at approximately 500KW.NRC FORH 366A (5 92) l NRC FORM 366A (5-92)U.S.NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION LICENSEE EVENT REPORT (LER)TEXT CONTINUATION APPROVED BY OMB NO.3150.0104 EXPIRES 5/3'1/95 ESTIMATED BURDEN PER RESPONSE TO COMPLY WITH THIS INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST: 50.0 HRS.FORWARD COMMENTS REGARDING BURDEN ESTIMATE TO THE INFORMATION AND RECORDS MANAGEMENT BRANCH (MHBB 7714), U.S.NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION, WASHINGTON, DC 20555-0001 AND TO THE PAPERWORK REDUCTION PROJECT (3140-0104), OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET WASHINGTON DC 20503.FACILITY NAME (1)DOCKET NUMBER (2)LER NUMBER (6)YEAR SEQUENTIAL REVISION PAGE (3)R.E.Ginna Nuclear Power Plant 05000244 94--005--00 5 OF 9 TEXT (If more space is required, use additional copies of HRC Form 366A)(17)At approximately 1422 EST, Energy Operations personnel telephoned the Ginna Control Room, and notified the Operations Shift Supervisor of the switching operations that had occurred at Station 204 and of the unexpected loss of power to Circuit 751.Circuit 751 had been isolated for approximately ninety (90)seconds.The Control Room operators stabilized the plant at approximately 93%reactor power after the runback signal cleared.At approximately 1439 EST, the operators referred to emergency restoration procedure ER-ELEC.1,"Restoration of Offsite Power".At approximately 1444 EST, using this procedure, the Control Room operators closed the normal supply breakers to busses 14 and 18, restoring offsite power to busses 14 and'18.The"A" D/G was then shut down and returned to normal standby status.Due to the reactor power decrease from the turbine runback, axial flux difference in the reactor core exceeded"penalty" limits of Technical Specification (TS)3.10.2.The operators subsequently reduced reactor power to below 90~to comply with the action requirements of TS 3.10.2 for limits on axial flux difference.

Subsequently, the operators restored offsite power to busses 14 and 18.They transitioned to procedure 0-5.1,"Load Reductions," and reduced power below 90'due to axial flux difference in the reactor core.The operators terminated the test of the"A" D/G, and the."A" D/G was shut down and returned to normal standby status per procedure T-27.4,"Diesel Generator Operation." G.SAFETY SYSTEM RESPONSES:
Electrical loads on busses 14 and 18 deenergized as designed, due to an undervoltage condition on the busses.The operators manually restarted necessary loads, including the"A" service water pump, at approximately 1422 EST.The"A" D/G continued to supply power to busses 14 and 18 until restoration of offsite power to busses 14 and 18.Offsite 34.5 KV Circuit 767 continued to supply power to safeguards busses 16 and 17 during the event.CAUSE OF EVENT A.IMMEDIATE CAUSE: The immediate cause of the turbine runback was receipt of turbine runback signals from one of four OT Delta T and OP Delta T channels.B.INTERMEDIATE CAUSE: The intermediate cause of receipt of turbine runback signals was low voltage on the"B" Instrument Bus, which caused the turbine runback relays associated with the"B" Instrument Bus to drop out.The low voltage on the"B" Instrument Bus was due to low voltage on MCC-1C, which supplies power to the"B" Instrument Bus.The low voltage on MCC-1C was due to low voltage on Bus 14, which supplies MCC-1C.HRC FORH 366A (5-92)

~All reactor control and protection systems performed as designed, thus limiting the overall effects of the turbine runback transient.
~The"A" D/G operated as designed by supplying power to safeguards busses 14 and 18.~The Control Room operators expeditiously stabilized the plant after the transient.
~Offsite power 34.5 KV Circuit 767 was still in operation supplying power to safeguards busses 16 and 17.Based on the above, it can be concluded that the public's health and safety was assured at all times.NRC FORH 366A (5-92)
