PKA-F11 has four spare cells that are maintained on charge with
the spare Battery Charger PKN-H01.
“Bitrode” 50 amp, 18 volt
(Target Range 8.68 - 9.00 Vdc)
Each backup charger has two output breakers to enable them to supply
DC power to either bus (A or C and B or D) it serves. A mechanical
interlock is provided between the breakers which prevents possible
closing of both of the breakers simultaneously.
How long can the Class 1E Batteries supply power
continuously to class loads ?
• The Batteries will provide 2 hours of 125 VDC
power continuously to all class IE electrical
loads connected to the system.
• If the inoperable DC electrical power subsystem
cannot be restored to OPERABLE status within
the required Completion Time, the unit must be
brought to at least MODE 3 within 6 hours and to
MODE 5 within 36 hours
• During modes 1 through 4, both DC trains
consisting of all four control centers consisting
of all four batteries and four battery chargers,
are operable and energized to meet the Tech
Spec requirements.
• During modes 5 and 6, at least one train
consisting of two control centers, including
batteries and battery chargers, is operable
and energized to meet the Tech Spec
requirements.
Design Basis for Class 1E Chargers:
• Restore the batteries to their fully charged state
condition within 12 hours regardless of plant
condition, starting from a minimum battery design
charge of 105 VDC.
Some of the DC loads for PK:
•
DC power to the PN Inverters (Vital AC)
•
DC power to the PK Inverters (Shutdown Isolation Valves)
•
Reactor Trip Switchgear Control Power
•
Diesel Generator Control And Starting Circuit
•
Aux Feedwater Turbine Governor Control Panel
•
DC Control Power for PB and PG
•
Auxiliary Feedwater Pump A Turbine Trip And Throttle Valve
•
Aux Relay Panels
•
Other critical DC valves
125V DC non class IE power system (NK)
The non class IE 125V DC power system consists of three
independent non class IE 125V DC subsystems. Each
subsystem (E, F, G) has a battery, 125V DC control center
and/or 125V DC distribution panels and a battery charger
supplied with 3 phase 480V AC power from a different MCC.
Supplies 125V DC power to in-plant DC loads through MCC’s
NKN-M45 and NKN-M46 and “D” panel NKN-D19.

NKN-M46 and the “E” Battery Charger NKN-H17 feeds
NKN-M45.
NKN-H18 is a 250 amp charger, smallest charger with
the largest Battery (3650 AH)
Each non class IE battery has sufficient capacity to
independently supply the required loads for 4 hours
following the loss of battery charger.

The backup charger (“EF”) has two output breakers to enable
them to supply DC power to either bus (M45 or M46) it serves. A
mechanical interlock is provided between the breakers which
prevents possible closing of both of the breakers simultaneously.

EO03 Explain the function of the components in the
battery charger’s power circuit.
Power is fed to the input transformer (T1). T1 is a three-phase delta
to delta transformer. T1 provides power to the main SCR's and the
120VAC power to the Amplifier Board, and the Firing Module.
T1 also supplies power to
all of the accessories,
such as the power on
indicator, the AC failure
alarm (K3 relay) the three
phase power monitor
(K1) and the 0-24 hour
timer motor.

The firing module receives the error signal from the Amplifier
Board and determines how long the SCR’s need to fire for
voltage correction.

Alarm Module
The battery charger’s alarm module contains four (4) alarm
circuits on printed circuit boards that are connected to a
mother board. The DC Relay on each Alarm board actuates
the (K-2) Summation Alarm. All of the cards have an LED
that indicates as follows:

Testing SCR’s
Lift the white gate lead and red cathode lead on each SCR and
take a resistance reading between the two. Reading should be
less than 50 ohms.
Larger Power SCR’s
have a resistor between
The Gate and Cathode
Used to prevent false triggering
SCR’s Cont..
Using a lamp tester, attach the Positive (+) to the anode and the
negative to the Cathode.
Gate the SCR on by touching the positive to the white gate lead.
The lamp should be brightly illuminated.
Remove the signal and verify that the SCR stays on.
Apply a second gate pulse and verify the SCR stays on.
Test SCR’s on the Lab Charger
Replacing SCR’s
New SCR’s are tested prior to installation
SCR leads may have to be extended; splicing instructions are in work
package.
Observe proper polarity when installing.
Apply a thin film of heat sink compound on the conducting surface on
the new SCR.
Ensure alignment pin in charger is aligned with the indent in the SCR.
Perform Torque/Clamping for specific SCR to be replaced.
Ensure alignment pin in charger is
aligned with the indent in the SCR.
SCR’s have been found damaged
due to misalignment during
clamping.
EO09 Given a Fault condition, troubleshoot/rework the Battery
Charger and discuss safe work boundaries and electrical safe
work practices necessary to perform the task.

Voltage Problem
Example: No DC output
Check pin 12 (output to the firing modules), should be between 2-4 Vdc
Check A2 Amp board for power supply voltages, +10.25 and – 10 vdc
Check voltage reference at pin 5 to common, should be approx. 4.3 Vdc
Check common on the Float/Equalize Switch, reading should be approx. 4.3 Vdc.
Check pin 12 on the S&C Limit board
Check R8 on the S&C Limit board
Check control fuses
Ask the class if they can think of any thing else
Regulation Problem
Example: Charger noisy when loaded
SCR’s may not be firing properly
Check gate signals to SCR’s on each module
Check AC input to each firing module
Check soldering connections
Check current through main fuses
Alarm Problem:
Example: Summation Alarm in the Control Room
K2 relay should be dropped out
Verify alarm condition of alarm cards
Check 3 phase power monitor
Check control fuses
Check K4 relay
During outages it is not uncommon for one of the DC
buses not to have a load. The CFA alarm will come in if
current is less than 5 Amps.
CRDR 3233151 found incorrect fuses
installed in 1ENKNF17, fuses F11, F12,
F13 and F14 size 1/8 Amp fuses instead of
1 Amp.
Current Limit Problem:
Check verify R9 setting (S & C Limit board)
Check verify Current variable during operation
P3 may have to be adjusted on the Amp board
Check current reference (- 2.9 Vdc or lower)
Check verify output on pin 12 to firing modules (2-4 Vdc)
SME – It helps to monitor current reference at point 13
on the amp board while adjusting R9. This helps the
tech determine direction of adjustment. The lower the
setting, the lower the current limit.
