FINAL REPORT Description of Deficiency During receiving inspection of balance-of-plant (BOP) isolator cabinet 2IX-ISOL-262-G at Bellefonte, TVA employees found tnat a conductor was pulled out of. terminal lug TBA-5A-5.
The conductor is on the Class IE side (input) of the cabinet. The BOP isolator cabinets are used to effectively isolate electrical Class IE from non-Class IE instrumentation. This was a one-time occurrence and has not happened on any other isolator cabinet.
This condition was apparently caused by interference of the door-looking mechanism with the internal wiring. This defect may be generic to the other isolator cabinets at Bellefonte provided'by E. Max, Incorporated.
Safety Implications The interaction of the door locking mechanism and isolator wiring represented a deficiency which could have resulted in damage to the isolator sufficient to preve7t its proper performance. Had this condition remained uncorrected, the safe operation of the plant could have been affected in that the feedback from non-Class IE instrumentation could have interfered with the operation of Class IE instrumentation.
Corrective Action TVA will rework the damaged termination to assure proper continuity of the circuit. To prevent recurrence, the terminal blocks located nearest the door-locking mechanism will be moved toward the rear of the cabinet such that a minimum of 1/2-inch clearance is provided between the internal wiring harness connected to the terminal blocks and the inside front edge of the cabinet. This corrective action will be taken on all E. Max, Incorporated cabinets and is expected to be completed by April 15, 1982.
No other cabinets provided by E. Max are used at other TVA plants.
