_Backcround: Wyle.and Siemens personnel were on-site at EOl's ANO Nuclear Plant on April 7 and 8,1998, for I
the purpose of upgrading 1200 amp, 350 MVA Wyle/Siemens circuit breakers. The upgrade included installation of P/N (Dwg. No.) 18-831-030-502, interlock Kit (contains modified cam) by a Siemens technician on l
a Siemens 1200 amp 350 MVA breaker, Siemens S/N R 92154A 1, in accordance with instructions on Siemens P/N 18-494 382-803, Issue 01, Sheets 1 and 2F Field Mod - Plunger interlock for Mark 802. Siemens l
P/N 18-831-030-503, Issue 01, Plunger Assy GER (Kit) lists the individual components contained in the Intertock Kit.
The installation was to be performed per Siemens Drawing 18-494-382-803, issue 01, Sheet 2F, Dimension B, and Drawing 18-891-030-503, Issue 01, Sheet 1F, Detail B, using an approved EO! maintenance order and l
under tne supervision of EOl and Wyle personnel The EOl breakers were designated by Wyle/Siemens to be upgraded due to conditions observed on similar Slemens circuit breakers in non-safety-re!ated applications at Public Service Electric & Gas.
Wyle noted the Siemens technician did not install the kit per Siemens Drawing 18-494-382-803-01, Sheet 2F, Dimension B. The original hole in the cover had to be enlarged to allow passage of the new adjustable rod.
Additionally. Siemens Drawing 18-891-030 503-01, Sheet 1F, Detail B shows the adjustable rod connected to i
the inner hole on the cam crank arm. The Siemens technician had to move the adjustable red to the outer h' ele to obtain the necessary plunger travel to drive the cubicle-mounted GE 52STA switch.
After kit installation, the circuit breaker was placed on the Switchgear Room floor and the plant-supplied GE test flag was installed w!th a 0.125-inch gap at the 52STA plunger to simulate the most demanding condition of required operation. The circuit breaker was manually charged and closed and correctly latched in the closed position. When tne manual close button was actuated with the breaker manually charged, the breaker tripped free and the attempted close operation caused some misalignment to occur in the newly installed cam assembly. The plunger housing was out-of-level with the right side lower tnan the left side, and the camshaft was cocked in the plunger housing assembly due to the movement of the shaft bearings. The Siemens technician realigned the abcVe parts.
The breaker was elevated to its safety related, ful!y connected position. The breaker was electrically charged, manually closed, and manually tripped 12 times while operating the 52STA switch, it successfully latched closed each time.
The breaker was electrically lowered from its connected position to the floor, it was observed that the positive tnp free feature c;d not cause the closing springs to discharge. Numerous attempts to correctly adjust the breaker-mounted pcsitive interlock switch (PIS) roller were all unsuccessful.
The circuit breaker identifled above along with nine additional circuit breakers will be shipped from EO! to the Siemens manufacturing facility at Wendell, North Carolina where they will undergo a checking procedure per. This procedure shall be performed under Wyle and Siemens QA supervision and no deviation is allowed without Wyle approval. Wyle and Siemens will analyze the data gained frcm the above procedure, Siemens production records, and Wyle tesi records.
The results of the evaluation will c'etermine the course of action required, and the impact on qua!ification of the circuit breakers.
