PART 21 NOTIFICATION - MOTOR POWER LEADS UNDERSIZED
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.
"Part/Component Name: Actuator Motors Limitorque P/N R-402-FO6-582100A20
"Location Of All Units:
1) AREVA or PSE&G
2) AREVA or PSE&G
3) Baldor Electric, Gainesville, GA"

TECHNICAL SUPPORT CENTER PLANNED MAINTENANCE
"On November 8, 2011, at 1718 EST, the Technical Support Center (TSC) will be unavailable due to pre-planned maintenance to maintain the Technical Support Center and Emergency Response Data Acquisition and Display System ventilation system.
