ACCIDENT ENVIRONMENT TEST REPORT Test Completed 2/5/73 3
The purpose of this test is to ensure that the design submitted is capable of maintaining seal integrity electrical insulation quality after being subjected to " accident" ambient conditions for temper-E ature and pressure as required by IEEE Standard #317.
Penetration under test:
The penetration under test is a prototype which represents three types of penetrations for the Brunswick plant. There are 36 conductors with #1 AVG pigtails representing the class B prototype. Fifty #10 AWG conductors are included for the Class C penetration. Five copper-
, constantan thermocouples (pairs) were included to complete the requirement for the Class D penetration.
Conclusion:
The prototype penetration built to represent the Class B, C and D.
Brunswick penetration satisfactorily passed the accident environment test.
- 1. The canister remained leak tight for tge conditions of the test. (L.R. was less than 1 X 10- std. cc/sec heliuml,
- 2. Insulation resistance for thermocouples remained above 10 10
__ ohms after test (Class D).

and 3X105 ohms, however, these values are con-sidered operable. ,
.s I Procedure:
The penetration was initially checked for leakage with the Helium
} mass spectrometer leak detector. it was then penumatically tested at 80 psig to volumetrically determine if any leakage occurred at this stress loading. The penetration was found leak tight. Elec-t'rical tests were performed to determine the insulation resistance, the contact resistance and the dielectric strength test of the conductors before and after the accident environment exposure.
An inboard weld ring was welded to the canister to enable attachment
? to the steam chamber.
Prior to attaching the penetration to the steam chamber electrical connections were made to permit simulation of function during test.
These connections are shown schematically in Figure 1.
Nine number 1 AWG cables were selected to have 60 Amp flowing through each of them. A pair of #10 AWG cables were loaded to 15 Amp. Two thermocouples pairs were twisted and welded to make thermocouples.
One of these thermocouples was attached to one of the #1 AWG cable Jackets, the other thermocouple was allowed to float loosely inside the steam chamber. See Figure 2.
The required test conditions are as follows:
340 F 56PSIG 6 Hrs. ) Inboard 320 F - 250 F 18 Hrs. ) Header 148 F for I hour ) Outboard End Fig. 3 shows photographs of the penetration mounted on the steam

NOTE 1 - All tests for leakage were performed with a Helium mast spect rome te r. In all cases no leakage was detected. The
! sensitivity of used is 1 X 10"ghe instrument std. with the sniffing technique cc/sec. (Helium).

- I I The steam chamber Is equipped with supplementary electrical heaters
! to boost the temperature above the saturated steam temperature which
- corresponds to 56 PSIG. These were turned on prior to start of the test.
., I .
Temperature gose to 300 F in about two minutes. The required temper-ature of 340 F was achieved fifteen minutes after start of the test.
1 Steam at atmospheric temperature was fed to the outboard end of the
'j penetration to simulate the required conditions.
Chemical spray was not used in- this particular test. The effect of borated water on the penetration cables which are the only exposed functional parts is discussed in Section 12.0 - Report 8904 - Boston Insulated Wire Co.
Results of Test:
The conditions of the test have been transcribed from the actual chart which is filed with figuring book #130832. Figure 4 shows 1
the measured temperatures as time progressed. Thg decay in temper-ature which occurs af ter the six hour hold at 340 F was accomplished in three steps so as to approximate the specified temperature decay.
} At the start of test the o internal pressure inside the penetration was 14.2 psig at 250 C. -Upon completion of the test, the pressure when corrected to the initial temperature was found to be 14.3 psig.
'; The small difference can be attributed to gage reading error. Since d
the leak monitoring pressure before and af ter test were the same,. It can be concluded that no leakage occurred during the test.
THERMOCOUPLE LEAD TESTS (CLASS D): The five thermocouple pairs which .
were present were checked for insulation resistance after completion of the test. The following values were obtained for the insulation resistance in ohms taken at 500V D.C. with a megohmmeter.

. All the above values are satisfactory for instrumentation service.
Y The thermocouples were also subjected to a 1 KV AC dielectric strength test before and after test. All conductors passed this test.

LOW VOLTAGE CONTROL (CL ASS C) *10 AVG Conductors: Table #1 compares the nsulation resistance and the contact resistance before and after steam testing. The three conductors which were loaded to 15A during test were #31, 32 and 35. These degraded somewhat but not signifi-cantly dif ferent from other conductors which weren't loaded. All
, insulation resistances remained above 108 Ohms except #15 and #44,
) which fell to 8X106 and 3X105 Ohms. Since these circuits will be
.,' operating at 120 volts it is felt that this degradation will not be detrimental to function.
Dielectric test at 2.7 KV subsequent to steam testing was satisfactory for all conductors except #44.
Contact Resistance improved ever so slightly after test.
LOW VOLTAGE POWER (31 AVG Conductors Class B): Table 2 compares the insulation resistance and contact resistance before and after steam testing. The nine conductors which were loaded to 60 A during steam test were #78 through #86. Degradation was about the same as for the i
unlogdedconductors,however,noneoftheseconductorswerebelow
, 5X10 Ohms.
.J Conductors #64, 73, 77, 91 and 94 were low in resistance prior to the test, but the heat imposed by the test Improved their insulation resistance.
Contact resistance remained essentially the same.
i Dielectric test at 2.7 KV subsequent to steam testing was satisfactory for all conductors.
