Final 10CFR50.55(e) Report: Gould Molded Case Circuit Breakers - Non-Reportability Determination
Dear Sir:
In Reference (b), we reported a potential 10CFR50.55(e) deficiency regarding Gould molded case circuit breakers. This deficiency has been evaluated and determined to be non-reportable per 10CFR50.55(e).
Description of Daficiency 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 prev.ous shipments have tested satisfactorily.
