| Title | Part 21 Notification - Motor Power Leads Undersized |
| Event Description | The following information was provided by Baldor Electric via facsimile:
Description of Defect: Motor power leads are undersized, #12AWG should be #8AWG. [Baldor] corrected the electrical design where the lead size is specified. Advice Related to Defect: Motors in service are not at risk unless held at locked rotor for more than 8 seconds. Normal operation, with instantaneous inrush while starting and running at loads as high as 40% locked rotor torque as name-plated, will not result in a failure. Holding the shaft blocked for 10 seconds could result in lead failure. Baldor-Reliance recommends changing the motors out as soon as convenient, i.e. during next outage. Any motors in storage should be replaced ASAP for future use.
