Description
On 30 May 2013, during a refuelling outage, a combination of human error and a loose cable connection resulted in a double OPC in the 400 kV breaker. The failure was not detected by the loss of voltage relays and, as a result, the standby AC power sources did not start (no degraded voltage relays implemented).
