Subject:

Control Circuit Cable Lengths (CDR 84-00-13)

Dear Sir Reference (g) revised the 10CFR50.55(e) report regarding control circuit cable lengths and identified three Gould/Telemecaniqce J-10 relays that were designated to have a modifiec coil installed as part of the corrective action but still had the original vendor-supplied coil.

Two of these relays have now been modified. A new voltage study shows that the third relay will have sufficient voltage to ensure operation and sufficient margin exists to allow future loads to be added to thr bus. As a result the thir* -elcy vill not require modification.

United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission May 24, 1988 Attention:

Mr. William T. Russell Page 2 The voltage study now indicates that all safety-related J-10 relays as presently installed have the required minimum voltage to ensure proper operation. This study also indicated that less than the specified minimum voltage (102 volts) may occur for Westinghouse contactors-in the control circuits for Control Room air conditioner fans CBA-FN-14A & B and CBA-FN-36A &

.B.

As a result, the voltage available to all other safety-related vendor supplied skids was evaluated. This study indicated that less than the specified 102 volt minimum could also exist for Westinghouse contactors'on the hydrogen recombiner skids.

Modifications to the control room air conditioner fan control circuits have been made to ensure the Westinghouse contactors have sufficient voltage to operate during the cencurrent conditions of low grid voltage and a fully loaded electrical bus.

Corrective actions for the hydrogen recombiner control circuits will be completed prior to entry into Mode 4.

A final report will be submitted when cor.ective actions have been completed.

Should you have any questions regarding this information, please contact Mr. John G. Tefft at (603) 474-9521 extension 4039.

Very truly yours, M
