{{#Regex_clear:The following information w{{#Regex_clear:The following information was received by facsimile:</br>This letter is submitted in accordance with 10 C.F.R � 21.21(d)(3)(ii) with respect to a failure to comply with the specifications associated with the COM 5, COM 9, and COM 11 Overcurrent Relays. The style numbers for the COM 5 relay are 1326D81A07A. 1326D81A05A, 1326D81A01, 1326D81A02, 1329D12A02, 1329D12A01, 1329D12A06, 1326D81A08, 1329D12A07, 1329D12A05, 1329D12A06, 1329D12A08, 1329D12A09, 1326D81A08A, and 1326D81A09A. The style numbers for the COM 9 relay are 1326D81A10A and 1326D81A10. The style numbers for the COM 11 relay are 1329D12A03, 1326D81A03, and 1326D81A03A.</br>The notifying individual is Mr. Pat Wilkinson, General Manager, ABB Inc. (Distribution Automation), 4300 Coral Ridge Rd, Coral Springs FL, 33065.</br>Notification regarding the subject relays is as follows: The failure to comply centers around the seismic specification of the COM 5, COM 9, and COM 11 relays. The Zero Period Acceleration (ZPA) rating for the COM 5, COM 9 and COM 11 relays were incorrectly being certified to meet a ZPA rating of 5.6g. The relays only meet a ZPA rating of 3.6g.</br>On December 14th, 2010, ABB's Engineering Group, while performing a document review of the ABB's CTR-COM-5 Qualification Conclusion Report, discovered the incorrectly reported ZPA rating. The deviation was identified as a potential defect on January 10, 2011.</br>The COM family relays were originally seismically qualified by Westinghouse on July 11, 1977 with a ZPA rating of 5.7g. A second seismic qualification test was performed by an outside vendor on September 12, 2001 with a reported ZPA rating of 3.6g. ABB then transferred the vendor information to its own conclusion report: CTR-COM-5 signed December 14, 2001. The CTR-COM-5 conclusion report incorrectly transcribed the ZPA rating of 3.6g from the outside vendor. The CTR-COM-5 conclusion report is the basis for ABB's Relay Selection disk, used by ABB Marketing, and ABB's quality Certificate of Conformance.</br>The root cause of this issue was determined to be inadequate review and transfer of the outside vendor's seismic test data.</br>ABB is taking, or has taken, the following corrective actions:</br>- Correct CTR-COM-5 conclusion report to 3.6g ZPA (Engineering completed request on January 11, 2011 )</br>- Contact all customers with potentially affected open Purchase Orders to ensure acceptance of the 3.6g ZPA rating. Orders on hold until acceptance. (Sales to complete by January 21, 2011)</br>- Update Certificate of Conformance template for the affected style numbers to reflect 3.6g ZPA. (Quality Assurance completed request on January 13, 2011)</br>- Perform a review of all qualification reports to ensure all ZPA ratings for all product families are correctly reported (Engineering to complete by February 14, 2011) </br>- Identification of potentially affected customers (Marketing to complete by February 15, 2011)</br>- Notification of potentially affected customers (Marketing to complete by February 28, 2011).</br>- Correct ZPA rating on the Relay Selection Disk to 3.6g ZPA (Marketing to complete by October 30, 2011)</br>The customers and the quantity data are still being collected at this time. Depending upon a Licensee's specified ZPA requirements, the lower ZPA rating of relays could possibly create a substantial safety hazard. If a higher ZPA rating is required by the Licensee, please contact ABB Coral Springs Customer Support at 1-800-222-1946 or (954) 825-0606 on available solutions.</br>If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact the Quality Manager, Mr. Chad Buchwalter, directly at (954) 825-0604.</br>* * * UPDATE FROM CHAD BUCHWALTER TO HOWIE CROUCH VIA FAX ON 2/8/11 @ 0857 EST * * *</br>ABB Inc. updated their initial report to state that they had previously made 10 CFR 21.21 notifications on ZPA deviations for the COM relays (see EN #30753).
