| Title | Part 21 Notification - Firezone 3Hr 600V Cable May Not Function as Tested and Qualified |
| Event Description | The following information was received via fax:
Nature of Defect: RSCC Wire & Cable LLC's Firezone 3HR 600V cables may have been installed in a configuration not tested by RSCC. RSCC has only tested the Firezone 3HR 600V cable while installed in a tray with no additional cables. The actual installation at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant of the Firezone 3HR 600V cable was in a tray with other non-fire rated cables. The guidelines given by UL in FHIT.Guide Info and FHIT.31 are not specific enough to cover this case. RSCC Wire & Cable LLC conservatively concludes this may be a potential defect. Potential Hazard: Under fire conditions in a tray with other non-fire rated cables, Firezone 3HR 600V cables may not function as tested and qualified in accordance with UL 2196. The corrective action which has been, is being, or will be taken; the name of the individual or organization responsible for the action; and the length of time that has been or will be taken to complete the action: RSCC has issued a Corrective Action Report (CAR 12-19) to address requirements that include documented installation procedures for Firezone 3HR 600V cables. Robert Gehm, Applications Engineering Manager for RSCC Wire & Cable LLC, has been designated as the responsible individual for action(s) to be taken. Completion of the corrective action is expected by June 29, 2012. Notification will be made to Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant and the Dresden Nuclear Power Plant for their evaluation regarding the condition as described. Notification will be made by May 31, 2012. |
