Abstract:
A recirculation pump motor is supplied with a power from a unit auxiliary middle voltage bus through a power supply system including a first circuit breaker, a voltage source inverter, and a second circuit breaker electrically connected in series to provide a no-load operation by use of the voltage source inverter. The second circuit breaker may be multiplexed with more than one breaker electrically connected in series. An existing nuclear plant using a induction motor driving a hydraulic coupling mechanically coupled to a synchronous generator for driving the recirculation pump, such as an MfG set, may be subjected to a method of replacing the induction motor, the hydraulic coupling, and the synchronous generator with the voltage source inverter and a circuit breaker through electrically disconnection and removal.
