KJ UNITED STATES NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

OFFICE OF NUCLEAR REACTOR REGULATION

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20555-0001 March 12, 1997 NRC INFORMATION

NOTICE 97-08: POTENTIAL

FAILURES OF GENERAL ELECTRIC MAGNE-BLAST

CIRCUIT BREAKER SUBCOMPONENTS

Addressees

All holders of operating

licenses or construction

permits for nuclear power reactors.

Purpose

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (NRC) is issuing this information

notice to alert addressees

to potential

failures of six subcomponents

in General Electric (GE) type AM or AMH 4.16-kV circuit breakers that can render the breakers inoperable.

The subcomponents

in question are (1) the trip crank, (2) the CR2940 contact blocks that make up the power switch assembly, (3) the manual trip lever and its supporting "L" bracket in the AMH horizontal

drawout breakers, (4) the cotter pin that holds the latch pawl hinge pin in place, (5) the spring charging motor tie bolts, and (6) the type HMA control relay. It is expected that recipients

will review the information

for applicability

to their facilities

and consider actions, as appropriate, to avoid similar problems.

However, suggestions

contained

in this information

notice are not NRC requirements;

therefore, no specific action or written response is required.DescriDtion

of Circumstances

Trip Crank Failures The NRC has learned that several plants have experienced

failures of the trip crank (GE Part No. 105C9316G1, Piece No. 28 of Figure 1 in GE ML-13 Mechanism

Renewal Parts Bulletin GEF-4379)

in Magne-Blast

circuit breakers.

These failures occurred when the pin at the end of the crank broke off. The pin may break off the crank when the trip coil is energized.

The trip crank pin inserts into a hole in the lower end of the link between the trip crank and the trip coil armature.

If the pin breaks off before the trip crank can successfully

rotate the trip shaft (which has been the case in most instances), the breaker will fail to trip electrically (although

it can still be tripped with its local manual pushbutton).

IN 97-08 March 12, 1997 Discussion

Trip Crank Failures GE has attributed

the broken pins to three principal

factors: (1) lack of adequate control of one of the critical machined dimensions

on the pin during the early 1970s, (2) lack of adequate fusion in some of the pin-to-plate

welds, and (3) grinding of the weld reinforcements

flush on the back of the trip crank plates. Upon being informed of the first instances

of pin failure in 1988 (at Tennessee

Valley Authority's

Wafts Bar Nuclear Plant), GE instituted

more rigorous quality control checks on the pins and finished trip cranks. GE also revised the pin weld detail on is trip crank fabrication

drawing (105C9316)

and added"DO NOT GRIND FLUSH." Several failures were reported after the initial Watts Bar report, and many potentially

susceptible

breakers were found in the field, all with their original trip cranks made in the early 1970s. However, no instances

of failures of trip cranks manufactured

after 1988 have been reported.Also, if the remote trip signal (either from a protective

relay or a manual hand switch) is applied for more than a few seconds (which it normally is) and the breaker fails to trip (such as it would if the trip crank pin broke), neither the breaker-mounted

auxiliary

switch nor the stationary (cubicle-mounted)

auxiliary

switch will signal control circuits that the breaker has opened, and thus the trip signal will normally remain applied. Energizing

the trip coil (which is normally energized

only momentarily)

for an extended period may open-circuit

the coil, thereby rendering

it permanently

inoperable.

Trip cranks that are potentially

susceptible

to this failure can be identified

without disassembly

of the breaker mechanism.

With the mechanism

front cover removed, the gap between the trip crank and the right side of the mechanism

frame may be seen. It is then possible to see whether the weld reinforcement

has been ground off. GE is preparing

a service advisory letter (SAL) on this problem in which it intends to recommend

replacement

of any trip cranks that do not have the proper thickness

of pin weld reinforcement

(1/32-1/16 inch). GE Philadelphia

Operation (GE PO) can furnish replacement

cranks.DescriDtion

of Circumstances

Contact Block CR2940 Contact Resistance

On February 12, 1996, the FitzPatrick

licensee experienced

failure of two residual heat removal service water (RHRSW) pumps to start, on demand because their supply breakers failed to close. RHRSW pump C failed to start on demand during monthly surveillance

testing and RHRSW pump A failed to start when attempting

to place it in service as part of a suppression

pool cooling evolution.

The licensee's

investigation

found that the Magne-Blast

breakers failed to close because high resistance

across one of the power switch assembly contacts prevented

the closing coil from being energized.

I IN 97-08 March 12, 1997 Discussion

Contact Block CR2940 Contact Resistance

The power switch assembly consists of three GE type CR2940 contact blocks stacked together so that all three sets of contacts are actuated by a single striker. Two of the contacts (1-2 and 3-4) are normally open and are held closed by the striker during the spring charging operation.

When the charging cycle is complete, the contacts spring-return

to the open position to cut off power to the spring charging motor and the control (anti-pump)

relay (52Y). The third set of contacts (5-6) is normally closed and is included as an option to allow remote indication

of the closing spring status (charg.d/discharged), usually by means of a white indicator

light in the control room. This third contact is often called the "white lighr'contact for this reason. This contact is wired Into the breaker control circuitry

such that failure of the contact to close will prevent the breaker closing coil (52X) from being energized and the breaker cannot be closed electrically.

The licensee determined

that the CR2940 contacts were misapplied

in the Magne-Blast

breaker control circuitry

because the contacts are rated for only 2.2 amps dc and are required to interrupt

6.0 amps dc (Licensee

Event Report 50/333 96-002, Accession

No.960410298).

The licensee also observed that the contacts seemed to show signs of arcing (blackened, pitted surface) after about 2,000 operations, even though the recommended

breaker service life is 10,000 operations.

General maintenance

Instructions

in GE Technical Manual GEI-88771D, "Magne-Blast

Circuit Breaker," states that the 1,200-amp

breakers are capable of performing

up to 5,000 operations

and the 2,000-amp

breakers are capable of performing

3,000 operations

before any replacement

of parts should be necessary.

Resistance

measurements

across the failed contacts varied between 200-1000 ohms.Contacts with 1,500 operations

or less did not have the arcing indications, nor did they have high resistance

readings.

The licensee also noted that there were no recommendations

to check the contact resistance

during periodic preventive

maintenance

in the vendor's maintenance

manual. There was disagreement

between the plant's drawings and the manufacturer's

wiring diagrams.

The manufacturer's

wiring diagram indicates

that the 5-6 contact should be jumpered out when not used. One of the plant drawings shows that when the 5-6 contact is "not fumished," it should be jumpered.

The 5-6 contact is not shown at all on the plant RHRSW pump circuit breaker elementary

drawing.The FitzPatrick

licensee has also experienced

failure of CR2940 contact blocks used as latch checking switches in Magne-Blast

breakers, even though the contacts do not experience

significant "make" or "break" current. The licensee believes that these failures could be related to aging or the number of operations

and is evaluating

whether periodic replacement

may be necessary.

In a letter dated June 14, 1996, GE Nuclear Energy informed the FitzPatrick

licensee that the suitability

of the CR2940 contact blocks in the ML-1 3 operating

mechanism

for the Magne-Blast breaker was confirmed

by testing the breaker in accordance

with applicable

American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) and National Electrical

Manufacturers

Association

IN 97-08 March 12, 1997 (NEMA) standards.

Operability

of the contacts was demonstrated

by breaker life cycle testing of 10,000 operations

with no failure of the contact blocks, and there is no requirement

to replace the contacts on the basis of age or the number of operations.

However, GE stated that according

to applicable

NEMA standards, the maximum number of operations

between servicing

is 2,000. The operations

are listed on the basis of servicing

at intervals

of 6 months or less. GE also stated that although the published

instructions

do not specifically

address the contact block resistance, instructions

for checking the control power during servicing

include measuring

the operating

voltage at the closing coil, the trip coil, and the charging motor terminals.

GE believes that this type of testing would reveal whether the contacts required replacement.

GE stated that the wiring diagram clearly indicates

that the 5-6 contact should be jumpered out when the 'White light" function is not utilized.

In addition, the drawing shows that another CR2940 contact used as a latch check switch in the closing coil circuit should also be jumpered out when this feature is not used.GE concluded

that although the contact blocks were suitable for use in the Magne-Blast

breakers, the operability

demands of the nuclear po~wer industry and the recently reported problems from the field indicated

that the contact blocks were a weak link in the design of the control circuitry.

GE recommended

the following

actions in the June 14, 1996 letter* In control schemes where the "52 SM/LS" (5-6) contact is installed

but not utilized, it should be jumpered out of the circuit.* In control schemes where the "52 SM/LS" (5-6) contact is installed

and utilized for"white light" indication, but the "auto reclose" function is not used, the wiring should be revised to remove the contact from the close coil circuit. GE can furnish a revised wiring diagram and nameplate.

  • For the CL/MS application, where the contact block is used to break charging motor current, GE is evaluating

a replacement

device. The new switch will have a higher de interrupting

rating and will be furnished

for those applications

where breaker applications

require the increased

durability.

GE plans to issue a SAL concerning

the CR2940 contact blocks in March- 1997.Description

of Circumstances

Bent Manual Trip Lever and Cracked "L" Bracket During surveillance

testing in June and July 1996, the licensee for Calvert Cliffs identified

two problems with type AMH-4.76-250 (horizontal

drawout) Magne-Blast

circuit breakers.

In the first case, a low-pressure

safety injection (LPSI) pump breaker failed to close. The licensee found that the trip lever was bent and there was no gap between the trip lever and the manual trip rod. Although no gap value is given in the vendor manual, there is generally

a small gap between the trip lever paddle and the manual trip rod. The bent trip lever prevented

the trip latch from fully rotating onto the stop pin, resulting

in a less than optimal

IN 97-08 March 12, 1997 area of contact (wipe) between the latch and the stop pin. As a result, the breaker would experience

intermittent

failure to close.A second LPSI pump circuit breaker failed to close during monthly testing at Calvert Cliffs in July 1996. Investigation

found that in addition to the trip levers being bent, the "L" bracket support for the trip lever was also cracked. The "L" bracket is designed to support the trip lever and provide additional

stiffness.

A subsequent

inspection

of other breakers at Calvert Cliffs found that one other breaker had a bent trip lever and two other breakers had cracked"L" brackets.Discussion

Bent Manual Trip Lever and Cracked "L" Bracket GE performed

extensive

testing on one of the failed Calvert Cliffs breakers and concluded that the most probable cause was insufficient

trip latch reset spring force caused by either incorrect

or damaged springs originally

installed

at the factory. GE recommended

a modification

to the Calvert Cliffs breakers to prevent further cases of trip lever bending and"L" bracket failures.

The modification

consists of replacing

the trip paddles, the support bracket, and the spring discharge

link. The trip lever material was changed from American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) 1005 carbon steel to AISI 1018 carbon steel. The "L" bracket was changed from AISI 1005 steel to aluminum.

The configuration

of the components

was also changed.The modification

corrects for the weak spring and allows the breaker to retain operability

with the weak spring installed.

Replacement

of the trip latch reset spring is not part of the normal maintenance

or overhaul activity.

Replacement

of the spring requires that a V-notch be cut into the breaker angle support to allow removal of the trip shaft. The Calvert Cliffs licensee plans to replace the weak springs in the breakers during the next scheduled

overhaul.The modification

kit is available

as Catalog No. 0172C8186G001.

GE plans to issue a SAL on this issue by April 30, 1997.Description

of Circumstances

Cotter Pins for the Latch Pawl Hinge Pin and Charging Motor Tie Bolts On September

13, 1996, the licensee for Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Station discovered

during a tagging procedure

that the "A" emergency

diesel generator (EDG) was inoperable.

The EDG output circuit breaker (GE type AMA4.16 kV Magne-Blast)

was found in its normally open position, but its closing springs were discharged.

With the springs discharged, the breaker was incapable

of closing.Subsequent

investigation

by the Vermont Yankee licensee determined

that the spring charging motor had run to failure because the cotter pin that holds the latch pawl hinge pin in position broke. The ears of the cotter pin had apparently

broken and allowed the cotter pin

IN 97-08 March 12, 1997 to fall out, thus allowing the hinge pin to work its way out of position and prevent the latch pawls from holding the ratchet wheel in place during the charging operation.

The charging springs were not compressed, and the charging motor continued

to run until it overheated

and the motor winding open-circuited.

Three of the four charging motor tie bolts that connect the motor portion to the gear housing were also found lying on the floor of the breaker cell.Vermont Yankee personnel

inspected

other similar breakers and found that 18 cotter pins were either degraded (one or both "ears" broken off) or undersized, and in one case a cotter pin was missing from the latch pawl hinge pin. Three breakers were also found with one or more loose charging motor tie bolts.On November 25, 1996, after learning of the event at Vermont Yankee, the licensee for FitzPatrick

performed

an inspection

and identified

10 out of 18 safety-related

Magne-Blast

breakers with degraded coffer pins latch pawl hinge pins. Similar to the failure at Vermont Yankee, the cotter pins had one or both ears broken off. One undersized

cotter pin was also found, but it was not broken and the licensee determined

that it had been installed

by plant personnel.

Discussion

Coffer Pins for the Latch Pawl Hinge Pin and Charging Motor Tie Bolts The latch pawl hinge pin was originally

designed in 1962 to be held in place by cotter pins at either end. In 1979, GE enhanced the design of the hinge pin assembly by tapping an existing hole in the hinge pin support bracket and installing

a bolt with a washer large enough to overlap the hinge pin. Using the bolt and washer to hold the hinge pin in place precluded the need for coffer pins. According

to GE, this enhancement

was made only to aid in disassembly

and reassembly

of the breaker during maintenance, and not because of any perceived

problem with the cotter pins. As a result, GE did not deem it necessary

to inform customers

of the change in 1979. Testing performed

by GE in 1996 demonstrated

that the cotter pins may experience

damage after approximately

2,000 operations.

GE plans to issue a SAL on this issue in March 1997.Two different

styles of charging motors are used in Magne-Blast

breakers.

Initially, GE used motors manufactured

by the Sioux Tool Company of Sioux City, Iowa. In the early 1970s, GE switched to motors made by Millers Falls (later bought by Ingersoll/Rand).

In the late 1970s, GE went back to using the Sioux Tool Company as the charging motor supplier for the Magne-Blast

breakers and still uses it today when customers

order replacements.

The two different

types of charging motor can be easily identified.

Two black cover plates conceal the tie bolts on the Sioux motors, and thus the bolts are not visible from the outside.The cover plates have to be removed to gain access to the four bolt heads, and the tie bolts are inserted from the motor housing into the gear housing. In contrast, the tie bolts on the Millers Falls (Ingersoll/Rand)

motors have exposed heads and are inserted from the gear housing into the motor housing. The motors with the loose bolts at Vermont Yankee were Millers Falls motors.

IN 97-08 March 12, 1997 Description

of Circumstances

Type HMA Control Relay On December 1, 1996, a Magne-Blast

breaker serving as a vital bus feed breaker failed to close on demand during surveillance

testing at Salem Nuclear Generating

Station. The licensee determined

that the HMA control relay (the anti-pump

relay [52YJ) normally closed contacts failed to reclose when the relay was deenergized

because of binding of the armature against the molded phenolic post. With the contacts stuck in the open position, the closing circuit cannot be completed

and the breaker cannot be closed electrically.

Discussion

Type HMA Control Relay The relay was sent to the vendor (GE Power Management

[GE PM], Malvem, Pennsylvania)

for detailed failure analysis.

The vendor found that there was no clearance

between one side of the armature tailpiece

and the molded post. Normally, when an HMA relay is assembled at the factory, the armature is centered between the two molded posts with a gap of 0.005 inch on each side.The vendor recalled that a similar situation

occurred in 1982 and prompted the issuance of SAL 721-PSM No. 171.1, "HMA Relay Armature Binding," on December 17, 1982. The original SAL stated that a tool problem at the factory in 1974 caused several relays to have improper clearance

between the armature and the molded posts. The SAL suggested

that the proper clearance

could be achieved by first removing the armature stop clamping nut and lifting the stop and armature tailpiece

from between the molded posts, and then removing some of the phenolic post material.The NRC discussed

this issue with GE PM. The vendor stated that the armature could be checked for the proper clearance

between the armature and the molded posts by use of feeler gauges. A gap of less than 0.002 inch on either side indicates

an adjustment

is needed. However, the original SAL stated that the solution was to remove some of the phenolic material from the posts and did not mention that customers

could first try to adjust the armature to achieve the proper clearance.

If the relay does not have the proper clearance, usually all that is needed is to loosen the armature stop clamping nut, center the armature between the two posts, retighten

the nut, and then check the clearances

again.The vendor also stated that although the recommended

minimum gap given in the original SAL is 0.005 inch on each side, a gap of 0.002 inch is considered

adequate for reliable operation.

Related Generic Communications

GE issued SAL 073-352.1, "Latest Design Configuration:

GE Type AM Circuit Breakers and Medium Voltage Switchgear," on July 7, 1995, to alert customers

to design changes made in the circuit breakers, their operating

mechanisms, and the switchgear.

Some of the listed design changes were discussed

in previous SALs, while other changes were not originally

conveyed to customers

because the changes were made to facilitate

assembly, maintenance, IN 97-08 March 12, 1997 or operation
