21.21 (d)(3)(i) DEFECTS AND NONCOMPLIANCE PART 21 - THOMAS AND BETTS PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS The following was received via fax:

"This report documents the supply of faulty Logic Power supply assembly printed circuit boards for a Cyberex 20KVA Model AC Power Supply. These power supplies have the incorrect strap installed on the transformers of Cyberex P/N [Part Number] 30-80-56620 which potentially can lead to the transformer being loose and can cause failure of the power supply. Per the manufacturer, the band should have been made of stainless steel but the bands on the installed transformers were made of carbon steel and a corrosion resistant coating. The details of the potential failure of the power supply and the root cause are being evaluated and will be documented in the final report.

"UCI [United Controls International] reviewed all the orders that were supplied to the customers and determined that two UCI orders are affected and the customer was notified on the day the issue was identified."

Part Number 90-41-974313 (UCI serial numbers 03996-01 -0001, -0002, -0003) and P/N 41-01-596701 (UCI serial numbers 03967-03 -0001, -0002, -0003) supplied to Public Service Electric and Gas (PSEG) are affected.
