Q

How long can an EDG be run unloaded before it will need to be run fully loaded? for how long? Why?

A

Can be run unlaoded 4.5 hr before needing >1hr fully loaded.
Fully loaded run needed to remove carbon buildup in exhaust line. Full load run produces exhaust gas hot enough to burn off the carbon deposits

Engine Driven Pumps:
Scavenging Oil Pump : Suction to Main and Piston Oil Pumps
Piston Pump: Supplies oil to cool and lube piston pin bearing and cylinders
Main Oil Pump: Supplies oil to main bearing, gear train camshaft and rocker arm

26
Q

28
Q

What local oil indications should exist when the engine is in standby and operating?

Standby: Upper bullseye should have no oil, lower bullseye should be full
operating: Both should be full
IMMEDIATELY after shutdown: both will be empty for ~10min

29
Q

31
Q

What is the capacity of the EDG day tanks? Supply time for EDG? How does it get refilled?

A

700gal tank to supply 4hr run @ 100% load
TS requires 245gal min to run 1 hr at 110% load
Kept full using Fuel Oil Transfer Pump autocycle w/ level switch

32
Q

Q

When in standby, what provides the U2 and U3 EDG room ventilation?

A

TB Vent (Not the engine room vent system)

38
Q

Where does the EDG Room Vent take suction?

A

From the vent penthouse on the roof

39
Q

What are the requried temperatures that ventilation is intended to maintain in the EDG rooms? Basis?

A

Max 140F - prevent damage to electrical components
Min 45F - based on ability of EDG electric heater and Circ Oil system to maintain the engine warm and ready to fast start

Jacket water does not have antifreeze, so this helps to keep above freezing

40
Q

What operates the EDG Room Dampers?

A

Normal: IA

Backup : N2 air cylinders

41
Q

Which components of EDG share common breaker?

A

Immersion heater and lube oil Circ Oil Pump

42

What position must the control switch for EDG be in to autostart?

A

Must be in AUTO

43
Q

WHat is the power supply scheme for the 2/3 EDG auxiliaries?

A

Powered from U2 UNLESS:
U2 (28-1/28-3) not available
2/3 EDG tied to U2 and is not tied to U2
U3 ECCS and not tied to U2
Local C/S for aux selected to U3

44
Q

What are the EDG Trips?

A
Bypassed on Auto Start:
Hi Crankcase Pressure (0.8" H2O)
Low Water Pressure (<35# after 2min >800rpm)
Hot Engine (200F)
Low Oil Pressure (<17# 2min &>200rpm OR <44# 2 min >800rpm)

Engine Overspeed
Gen. Hi Differential Current
45
Q

What sequence creates a lockout during autostart?

A

If engine fails to reach 200rpm w/in 15 second of start signal - failure to start occurs and engine is locked out

46
Q

What are teh droop settings for the EDG and when are they enabled? Why?

A

5 during normal/emergency operation so that there is minimal frequency drop as ECCS systems are picked up
55 during tests lined up to the grid to prevent overloading the EDG

47
Q

How can the Circ Oil Pump or Turbocharger Oil Pump cause EDG INOP?

A
