This constitutes operation in a degraded mode per Technical Specification 3.7.2(a) and is thus reportable pursuant to Technical Specification 6.6.2.1.b(2).

Apparent Cause of Occurrence: The reason for this incident is not exactly known. There is speculation that a bird or some other object could have entered the broken inspection glass on the 6900 volt disconnect switch causing a V $ differential trip.

Analysis of Occurrence: During the time period that CT-1 was locked out, back-1 up power was verified available from Keowee-l. Thus, the health and safety of l the public were not affected by this incident.

1 Corrective Action: The CT-1 transformer and buss work were checked for faults, and the protective relaying was checked for malfunction prior to returning control to Operations. A more complete check will be performed on the CT-1 transformer and switchgear during the current Unit i refueling outage.
