design and operation which makes these systems so reliable has been explained.
The various systems have been described with reference to function, components, locations, and electrical

has been noted.Significant

The 2B spare charger DC outputcanbe directed to any of four feeders.Three DC outputscanbe connected to battery board1,2,or3.The fourth DC output is connected to output transfer switch (BBR4)to batteries4,5, or 6.Mechanical
interlock permits closing only one output feederatatime.(A
slide bar is utilized in battery boardroom2 and a Kirk key interlock is used in battery board room 4.)250V DC battery chargers 1, 2Aand2B will load shed upon receipt of a Unit1or Unit 2 accident signal and any Unit 1/2 shutdown board being suppliedbyits respective

when 3B 480 SID Board deenergizes
and will return when the 480V SID Board voltage returns.They also supply alternate control power for Units1and2 4kV Shutdown Boards;however, on Unit3,theA,C,and
0 4kV Shutdown Boards receive both normal and alternate control power from the 250V DC Unit Systems.(3EB receives alternate control power only.)The 250V DC RMOV Boards are supplied from the Unit Battery Board as follows: BB-1 supplies 250V RMOV Boards1A,2C,3B.BB-2 supplies 250V RMOVBds2A,1C,3C.
