Q

Emergency Diesel Generator ‘A’ has started in response to a SIAS.
Turbo Charger Oil Pressure is 25 psig.

The Diesel Generator should be:

B. running in Emergency Mode with Turbo Charger Lube Oil Filter internal bypass fully open.
C. shutdown due to a Low Lube Oil Pressure to Turbo Charger (setpoint 27 psig).
D. running but the Turbo Charger is shutdown due to a low oil pressure trip.

A

A. running in Emergency Mode due to the SIAS.

Q

A loss of offsite power.
Both diesel generators started and carried the loads on their respective PB busses.
The ‘A’ DG received a ‘HIGH PRIORITY TROUBLE’ on High Cranckcase Pressure alarm.
The ‘B’ DG received a ‘LOW PRIORITY TROUBLE’ alarm on Jacket Water Temperature (200 F) off normal.
Both DGs continued to run.
What will happen when the ‘Start/Stop’ control switches on B01 are operated after offsite power has been restored to the class busses?

A. After taking the control switches to start, and then stop, the ‘A’ DG will immediately stop, but the ‘B’ DG will continue to run for 5 minutes.
B. When the control switches are taken to start, then stop, both DGs will continue to run for 5 minutes.
C. When the Control Switches are taken to start, the ‘B’ DG will immediately stop, but the ‘A’ DG will continue to run for 5 minutes.
D. When the control switches are taken to start, then stop, both DGs will immediately stop.

A

A. After taking the control switches to start, and then stop, the ‘A’ DG will immediately stop, but the ‘B’ DG will continue to run for 5 minutes.

Q

Unit has tripped from 100% power.
A loss of the grid has occurred 3 minutes ago.
Both DGs have started and energized their respective buses.
The operator adjusts the ‘A’ DG speed control hand switch in the raise direction for a few seconds and then takes his hand off the switch.
Based on these conditions, the ‘A’ DG speed will…

A. Increases as the hand switch is manipulated.
B. Not change as the hand switch is manipulated nor when the DG is taken to override.
C. Not increase now but will increase when the DG is taken to override.
D. Increase as the hand switch is manipulated and will increase an equal amount when the DG is taken to override.

A

C. Not increase now but will increase when the DG is taken to override.

A. In emergency mode, connected to the PBB-S04 bus.
B. In test mode, connected to the PBB-S04 bus.
C. In test mode, not connected to the PBB-S04 bus.

Q

PBB-S04 is being powered from DG ‘B’ power following a LOP
Normal and alternate supply breakers to PBB-S04 are open.
What is the effect of going to override on the DG hand switch?

A. This has the same effect as taking the emergency mode defeat switch to ON.
B. This allows stopping the DG from the control room, but does not affect any other control circuit.
C. Speed control, voltage control and test run trips are restored.
D. Speed control, voltage control and DG breaker electrical trips are restored.

A

D. Speed control, voltage control and DG breaker electrical trips are restored.

Q

Unit 2 is operating at rated power.
The A D/G output breaker is closed with the D/G carrying 5000 KW of load paralleled to offsite power.
A loss of PKA-M41 occurs due to a bus fault.
Which one of the following describes the impact, if any, this has the D/G?

A. No impact, since PNA-D25 remains energized.
B. The D/G trips but its output breaker remains closed, causing the diesel to motorized.
C. The D/G trips, its output breaker remains closed and PBA-S03 de-energizes.
D. The D/G continues to run at 5000 KW, however output breaker control has been lost.

A

B. The D/G trips but its output breaker remains closed, causing the diesel to motorized.
