Narrative
This incident involved an intraplant header, the relief valve is set @ 100 but because we suspect the valve failed due to a faulty relay, the valve overpressured. The problem turned out to be a shorted wire in the conduit running from the control room to the motor operator on the valve. Wire was fixed.
