4) At Brunner Island, the T20 MOD opens fully to physically isolate the fault and stops
the DTT TRIP signal to West Hempfieldall circuit breakers at West Hempfield reclose
automatically. The transmission line breakers at Brunner Island also reclose
automatically after the failed transformer is isolated, but the T20 lowside breakers are
designed to stay open.
