Faulty units were manufactured and d'stributed between June 1, 1978 and August 30, 1979.
The attached listing of nuclear plants, which have received some of this motor control equipment, represents a preliminary check of shipment records.
This listing, however, may not be complete.
Gould, Inc., will recall uninstalled items for retrofit and has retrofit kits available for field installation.
Based on the above, licensees are advised to verify all motor starter and contactor shipments received from Gould, Inc., between June 1, 1978 and August 30, 1979, and assure that applicable model and serial number components are corrected by retrofit and subsequent electrical operation tests.
No written response to this Circular is required.
