What is the first step in the startup process after a trip?

The first step in the startup process after a trip is to reset the system. When a trip occurs, it usually means that the system has automatically shut down due to safety protocols or operational irregularities. Resetting the system is crucial because it allows the operator to clear any alarms, indicators, or safety interlocks that were triggered during the trip. This step ensures that the system can be brought back to a safe and operational state before any further actions are taken.

After resetting, it will be possible to verify that all systems are functioning correctly and all safety measures are satisfied before moving on to other steps in the startup process, such as satisfying the permissives or initiating a restart. This step is foundational, as it creates a clear pathway for safe re-engagement of the system.
