Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) reported to QTNP [QualTech NP] that they have had eight Cutler Hammer A200 series starter failures since September 15, 2008. The failures would remain in the operated/energized contact state with power removed for some period of time. All starters impacted with this failure were continuously energized. The concern was that if tripped, that the main contacts would not open to protect the motor. | Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) reported to QTNP [QualTech NP] that they have had eight Cutler Hammer A200 series starter failures since September 15, 2008.

Testing was performed by Eaton Industrial Controls Division after receiving defective samples from PG&E. The test report from Eaton was received by QTNP for further review and evaluation. On October 6, 2015 QTNP determined that the Cutler Hammer A200 series starter failures may be reportable and an extent of condition review needed to be done. | Testing was performed by Eaton Industrial Controls Division after receiving defective samples from PG&E.

Thus any starters/contactors of the CH A200 series manufactured between May 2008 & December 31 , 2012 could have this concern. This failure has only been reported for continuously energized applications. The end user should evaluate their applications for this potential failure mechanism. | Thus any starters/contactors of the CH A200 series manufactured between May 2008 & December 31 , 2012 could have this concern.

PDMS material has been identified in the Eaton A200 series starters/contactors with date code T4115 (41st week of 2015) which is outside the range of May 2008 to December 2012 that were originally identified in NRC Event Number 51611 from 2015. This resulted in a few instances where the starter did not immediately open when the power was removed. | |||
