Onsite Power Systems
ƒ Non
Non--Class 1E main ac power system

ƒ The dc power system consists of two


independent systems:
ƒ Class 1E dc system
s stem and
ƒ non
non--Class 1E dc system

4
Onsite AC Power System
ƒ Non
Non--Class 1E comprised of normal, preferred,
maintenance, and standby power supplies.
ƒ Normal: TG supplies plant power during normal
power operation.
ƒ Preferred: Shutdown power normally provided
via the switchyard.
ƒ Maintenance: Site specific through reserve
auxiliary transformers (backup to preferred
supply)

Ancillary AC Diesel Generators
Provide backup power for:
¾ Post-accident monitoring loads, MCR lighting, and
Post-
MCR ventilation.

¾ PCS recirculation p
pumpp to refill the PCS water
storage tank and the spent fuel pool.

¾ Local loads to support operation of the ancillary


generator (lighting and fuel tank heating).

The ancillary generators are not needed for the first 72 hours following a loss of all
other ac sources.

Non--Class 1E DC & UPS System
Non
ƒ Provides dc and uninterruptible ac power to
plant non-
non-Class 1E loads:
ƒ that are critical for plant operation,
ƒ investment protection, and
y g igniters
ƒ hydrogen g located inside containment.
ƒ The onsite standby DG-
DG-backed 480 Vac
distribution system provides the normal ac
power to the battery chargers.
ƒ The batteries are sized to supply the system
loads for two hours after loss of all ac power.
