SUBJECT:
PRELIMINARY TEST RESULTS FOR COUNTERFEIT POTTER & BRUMFIELD RELAYS' Preliminary test results indicate that the counterfeit relays provided to the Carolina Power and Light Con;pany (CP&L) by Spectronics of Mobile, Alaban.6, would mcst likely not function in normal o ration. As reported by a Vendcr Inspection branch (VIB) inspector (Kamal Naidu) from the Potter & Brumfield Company in Evansten, Indiana, fcur MDR 142 tyx relays have f ailac normal, electrical tests. These tests includeo neasurement of the high voltage insulation resistance, minimuni pickup voltage, and n.mximum drop-cut voltage.
Ir. tddition the relays tailed at the r.creal rated pick-up and drop-out voltages and therefore would not have functioned under normal operating conditiens.
With the permission of Region II Gifice of Investigation, the relays will be disassemt, led to identify the root cause of these f.ilures.
The tes, ting will be continued on the resaining 18 reldys obtained from CP&L.
The testing is proceeding slowly cue to the limitations cf the autonetic test eqLipment resulting from the multiple test failurcs. The remaining testing and disassembly shoulo be completed by June 22, 1990.
