RUNBACK GRADED MILL TRIP Arming: Logic:

 More than 4 mills in service  If any major auxiliary (eg. ID, FD, PA, BFP) trips and standby is not available, unit load is automatically reduced according to the new capability  Mills are tripped one by one starting from top running mill, at 2 sec delay, until 4 running mills from bottom remain.  This interlock achieves the fastest possible load reduction, and requires NO intervention of desk engineer  Varies from 1 sec to 1 min according to type of auxiliary  Simulated at initiating point.
