⚠️ DRAFT
Q34 — Steam Dump I/P Converter Power 041 SDS-K2.02 (2.6)
Given:

Which ONE of the following completes the statement below?

The Steam Dump I/P converters are powered by _(1)_ and a loss of power to the Steam Dump I/P converters will cause the Steam Dumps to fail _(2)_.

(1)(2)
A. (1) C/D 115 VAC Instrument Bus — (2) closed
B. (1) C/D 115 VAC Instrument Bus — (2) as-is
C. (1) A/B 125 VDC Bus — (2) closed
D. (1) A/B 125 VDC Bus — (2) as-is
▶ Show Answer & Explanation
✓ A. Correct. The Steam Dump I/P converters are powered by 115 VAC and a loss of power to the Steam Dump I/P converters will cause the Steam Dumps to fail closed.
✗ B. Incorrect but plausible. Part 1 is correct. For Part 2, other components in the plant fail as-is when power is lost. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that the Steam Dumps fail as-is when power is lost to the I/P converters.
✗ C. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, Steam Dump blocking solenoids are powered from 125 VDC. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that the Steam Dump I/P converters are also powered by 125 VDC. Part 2 is correct.
✗ D. Incorrect but plausible. For Part 1, Steam Dump blocking solenoids are powered from 125 VDC. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that the Steam Dump I/P converters are also powered by 125 VDC. For Part 2, other components in the plant fail as-is when power is lost. Consequently, the candidate could incorrectly conclude that the Steam Dumps fail as-is when power is lost to the I/P converters.
