Exam 11 prep Flashcards
(111 cards)
What is the purpose of PPS?
- Assure SAFDL AND pressurizer safety limits are not exceeded during an Anticipated Operational Occurrence
- Redundant and independent to ensure
- No single fault will cause an actuation
- No single fault will cause a loss of safety function
- 4 separate (train) sensing channels
- 6 logic matrices that contain relays to trip RTSGs
How does a loss of one PN bus affect PPS?
- Loss of a single PN power supply: 2 RTSGs open (A & C OR B & D)
How does a loss of 2 or more PN buses affect PPS?
-
Loss of any 2 or more PN power supplies: Rx Trip
- Also due to instruments losing power you will get a FULL ESFAS actuation. (Every signal except LOP)
What happens in PPS if a single parameter exceeds its trip setpoint?
What actions are required and how long do you have?
-
Single parameter exceeding trip setpoint: No trip only alarms
- If the instrument is determined to be bad causing this trip then we will bypass it. (New logic is now 2 out of 3 instead of 2 out of 4)
- 1 hour time limit to get this channel bypassed
What will happen in PPS if one parameter is bypassed in A train and its trip setpoint is exceeded in B train?
What actions are required and how long do you have to do it?
- One parameter in bypass the same parameter has a trip on another channel: NO TRIP (Only 1 out of 3, needed 2 out of 3)
- If this is also due to a failed instrument then within 1 hour 1 channel is placed in bypass and the other is tripped (this is done by I & C)
What should be done to the signals associated with PPS A if PNA is lost?
-
ALL signals on that associated cabinet should be bypassed.
- Since these are pushbuttons that stay depressed even though power is gone the bypasses will still work
Which leg of ESFAS logic is responsible for valve group actuations? Pump group actuactions?
- 1-3 leg (Valve group relays)
- 2-4 leg (Pump group relays)
How does loss of a single PN bus affect the ESFAS portion of PPS?
- Half leg trip on both A and B trains (same leg)
- The bottom of the electrical circuit for initiation relays is basically “cross-connected” so you need contacts to open on both legs to cause a full actuation. (A SINGLE CONTACT GOING OPEN WILL NOT MOVE ANYTHING)
- There is a fuse in the current return for each leg
- IF this fuse were to blow then the associated relays of that leg will also de-energize causing an actuation of its associated components (half leg trips)
What type of manual initiation is available from B05?
What configuration will ensure complete esfas actuation?
-
Manual initiation of each channel is available for each train from B05
- However there is a catch: FOR A FULL ACTUATION YOU MUST TAKE MORE THAN ONE CHANNEL TO INITIATE TO HAVE AN ACTUATION. (Also the 2 MUST NOT be same train A&C/B&D)
At the Aux relay cabinet, how are initiation signals manually initiated?
How are channels reset at the Aux relay cabinet?
-
Trip/Resetting @ Aux Relay Cabinet
- To Reset ONLY 1 BUTTON PRESS IS NEEDED (for 1 Train)
- To Initiate 2 BUTTONS ARE REQUIRED (for 1 train)
