Pursuant to 10CFR Part 21 21.21(d)(3)(i), Paragon is providing initial notification of a defect associated with the emergency diesel generator (EDG) voltage regulator. The voltage regulator was refurbished under the client purchase order 01600229, project number 351030025. Part of the refurbishment involved complete replacement of the units wiring, physical inspection and testing of the unit to Paragon approved acceptance testing instructions. The refurbished unit was supplied to the customer in December 2023. Prior to installation (March 2024), the unit successfully passed bench testing at the plant. During post installation testing, the EDG was started, and the output voltage pegged high and was not controllable. DC Cook subsequently removed the voltage regulator and documented the non-conformance. DC Cook troubleshooting determined the unit was mis-wired. The unit [voltage regulator] was returned to Paragon, and inspection confirmed the plant | Pursuant to 10CFR Part 21 21.21(d)(3)(i), Paragon is providing initial notification of a defect associated with the emergency diesel generator (EDG) voltage regulator.

DC Cook subsequently removed the voltage regulator and documented the non-conformance. DC Cook troubleshooting determined the unit was mis-wired. The unit [voltage regulator] was returned to Paragon, and inspection confirmed the plant's diagnosis. The identified mis-wire affects the system circuitry by placing silicon controlled rectifier 5CD in a reverse biased position. The reversed biased rectifier blocks the flow of current which creates an open circuit condition. This open circuit condition causes the output voltage to max out, and does not allow the output voltage to be adjusted. This condition, if left uncorrected, could contribute to a substantial safety hazard and is reportable in accordance with 10CFR Part 21. | ||
