Interim 10CFR50.55(e) Report:

Gould Molded Case Circuit Breakers -

Dear Sir:

On May 16, 1984, we reported a potential 10CFR50.55(e) deficiency

[ Reference (b)] regarding Gould molded case circuit breakers. The ,

reportability of this item is under evaluation.

Description of Deficiency The testing of an incoming shipment of 15 Gould molded case circuit breakers resulted in 10 failing to pass the instantaneous magnetic overcurrent trip test. The 15 breakers were identical; 40-amp trip, Model HE3M040.

Approximately 75 of these 40-amp trip Gould breakers supplied in previous shipments have tested satisfactorily.

Safety Implications We are investigating the cause and safety implications of the subject deficiency.

Corrective Action We have informed Gould of the subject deficiency. The breakers are being returned by Gould to their supplier, ITE/Siemens-Allis, for inspection. Their response will determine the corrective action. We will submit an additional report to Region I by September 14, 1984. .
