CABLE DAMAGE SUSTAINED DURING PULLING OPERATIONS
On June 15, 1979, MCAR 1-35 reported that severe cable damage resultedfrom pulling cable through conduit at Susquehanna SES Unit 1. The concernexpressed in the MCAR was whether all damaged cables will be identified bymegger tests when the suspect cables are routed through PVC conduit in whichground conductors are not required for the cable installation.
The MCAR indicated that cable damage was detected by "visual inspec-tion of the cable jacket or by megger tests" during normal QC inspectionactivities and cable pulling operations, and was documented on Non-ConformanceReports (NCR's) attached to the MCAR.
As indicated in the NCR's, the cable damage includes: cable with cut/tom outer jacket, cut/tom conductor insulation and/or broken conductorstanding. It also includes cable which failed the megger tests.
Cause:
Based on several investigations made at the jobsite during the week ofJune 18, 1979, and subsequently, and a review of the relevant NCR's, it hasbeen determined that the cable damage resulted from one or a combination ofthe factors listed below:
1. Too many bends between pull points.2. Too small bending radius some 90 elbows.
3. Lack of adequate as-built data on which calculations could bebased.
The type of cable pulling compounds used.
5. Use of two conductor "flat" cable (Type D12).
6. Mixing of large and small diameter cables in the same conduit.7. Combining cables of differing length and destination in the
same conduit.8. Use of small diameter single conductor cable in long and complex
raceway installations (particularly Type Dll).
Anal sis of Safety Im lications:
The reported cable damage was found during cable pulling operationsand QC inspection activities. The damage was documented on Non-ConformanceReports (NCR's) per Bechtel procedures.
![Page 5: j. gg ConstructionThe data above indicates that the rate of 1/C 810 megger test failure is higher than for the other cable types. Review of documents indicates that this is the smallest](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071507/6127be8186881602755ee752/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
A revie~ of NCR's identified by the Field, and issued between ll/14/78and 6/6/80, indicates the following:
1. PP&L has considered two (2) categories of Class lE cable damagefrom the NCR's identified as being reportable under 10CFR50.55(e). Thesecategories are addressed in detail in Tables I and II (Attachments 2 and 3 tothis report). and are summarized below:
a) Table I lists the NCR's which reported the cables that failed themegger tests.
o Total scheme cables listed in Table I..................49o Number of scheme cables dispositioned to reject
and rework.............................................40o Number of cables dispositioned to be acceptable.........7o Number of cables with no damage detected and have
since passed a megger test..............................2Of the 40 scheme cables rejected, 26 were type Dll.
b) Table II lists the NCR's which reported the cables that weredamaged during pulling.
o Total of scheme cables listed in Table II..............65o Number of scheme cables dispositioned to
reject and rework......................................43o Number of cables dispositioned to be
acceptable.............................................22Seven of the 43 rejected cables were type Dll which failed themegger test.
2. Tables I and II (Paragraph 1-a and 1-b above) indicate that therewere 114 scheme cables reported in the NCR's. NCR disposition indicates that29 of these cables have been verified to be acceptable. In addition, therewere 2 cables which have passed the megger tests with no damage detected.These cables were dispositioned for a re-megger test at a higher value (seeNCR-5424). The remaining 83 cables were dispositioned to reject and rework.
3. Approximately one half of the damaged scheme cables were detectedvisually with the remaining ones discovered through megger tests and rejected.
4. Of the 83 damaged scheme cables rejected, approximately 80%occurred on 600 V Power and Control Cable, f!2AViG and smaller, manufactured byAIM Corporation.
5. The nature of the cable damage was varied, and the cause of thedamage could not be attributed to one single factor.
6. Raychem is the only supplier of cable that 'did not exhibit cabledamage or overtensioning.
7. Based on the May, 1980 circuit schedule, more than 4,800 safety-related scheme cables are shown as pulled.
![Page 6: j. gg ConstructionThe data above indicates that the rate of 1/C 810 megger test failure is higher than for the other cable types. Review of documents indicates that this is the smallest](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071507/6127be8186881602755ee752/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The data above indicates that the rate of 1/C 810 megger test failureis higher than for the other cable types. Review of documents indicatesthat this is the smallest and weakest cable used in the SSES Project. Italso indicates that this cable is one of the cables most commonly used inboth the 480 V and 120 V power and control cabling system. Hence, this cableis the most susceptible to damage, especially in long, complex raceway system.
To prevent and/or minimize this type of cable damage in the future,steps have been taken as reported in the next section.
Low voltage megger tests are performed on all power cables to locatedirect short-circuits and to facilitate the pre-operational, functionaltesting and startup procedures.
NPE has determined the cable damage identified in this NCAR 1-35 tobe reportable under 10 CFR 50.55(e).
Corrective Action:
The adequacy of the project cabling system will have been assuredwhen all integrated startup procedures, including pre-operational andfunctional testing planned and scheduled for the future, are successfullycompleted. During the construction phase of a project, the servicibilityof the installed (pulled) cables can be achieved by compliance with thefollowing procedures, which are in Field Procedure FP-E-5:
1. Visual inspection of raceways to ensure the removal of burrsand other foreign material that may be damaging to the cable(Field Procedure FP-E-5, Paragraph 7.1.5 and 7.1.6),
2. Cable pulling operation monitoring to assure proper rigging,handling, and application of pulling compound to the cable
~ (Field Procedure FP-E-5, Part II, Paragraph 7.7.7 and 7.1.24).3. Verification of adequate data used for the determination of
maximum allowable tensile stress and sidewall pressure (FP-E-5,Part II, Paragraph 7. l. 7) .
4. Tensiometer monitoring on machine 'pulls to verify that themaximum allowable tensile stress and sidewall pressure are notexceeded (FP-E-5, Part II, Paragraph 7.1.25).
5. Visual inspection of the cable that has emerged from the race-way at the pulling end for indications of cable damage (FP-E-5,Part II, Paragraph 7.1.25).
6. iMegger testing of 600 V and higher power, cable (9 to 9 and 9ground) to detect any obvious short circuits that may be present(FP-E-5, Part II, Paragraph 7.1.25).
When the cable over-tensioning condition was first reported by thefield, Project Engineering determined that several options were availablefor the resolution of the problem, and evaluated each one of these optionson an individual basis*. It was determined that the most viable option wasto have the cable manufacturers justify and permit the use of an increased
![Page 7: j. gg ConstructionThe data above indicates that the rate of 1/C 810 megger test failure is higher than for the other cable types. Review of documents indicates that this is the smallest](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071507/6127be8186881602755ee752/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
maximum allowable tension value. To accomplish this, and at the advice ofthe cable manufacturer, a cable test plan was implemented at the jobsite.This would enable the cable manufacturers to provide justification for theincreased maximum allowable tension values.
Upon completion of the tension tests, the tested cables were sub-jected to a series of physical and electrical tests by the respective cablemanufacturers. Based on the results of these tests, the manufacturers revisedtheir data previously submitted and increased the maximum allowable pullingtensions for their cables. Accordingly, these increased allowable tensionswere incorporated into Drawing E-59. (REFERENCE: Okonite.,Report dated Hay10, 1979, Document Control Number 103968 and AIW Reports, Vendor DocumentNumber 8856-E-130-A166(1)-1 dated 2/7/80 and -166(2)-1 dated 2/5/80).
Based on the revised values of maximum allowable pulling tensions,the Field has implemented Appendix B of the interim Response to this HCAR,which outlined the procedures for the verification of cables installed priorto the June 14, 1979 work stoppage. As a result of the verification program,the Field reported that there was no new Class 1E cables identified to beovertensioned.
Fo'r Unit 1 and Common, Project Engineering has reviewed the use ofsmall single conductor cable and two conductor "flat" cable for pulls yet tobe made. Where deemed appropriate, consi'dering the complexity of the pulland raceway percent fill, such cables are being replaced with either a largersize conductor or a round multiconductor cable to facilitate'cable pulling.En addition, two conduct'or round cables have been added to the Purchase order.These cables are intended for limited use on difficult pulls. This procedureis also implemented for Unit 2.
Project Engineering has begun a review of the more complex conduitnetworks for Unit 2 and, where appropriate, will modify the raceway designto facilitate cable pulling.
Appropriate action has been taken by the Field to ensure thatprocedures established for, the cable pulling operations are followed for everycable pull. (See Bechtel Construction letter to PP&L Construction BCLPC-6374dated July 12, 1979).
The Field will continue to monitor every cable pull and document anycable damage and overtensioning.
A sampling plan for meggering of multi-conductor control cable of flat-configurat'on and single conductor control cable !P8 and smaller has beenaporoved by PP&L as per PCLBC-3181 dated 12/6/79 (Document Control Number114820). The sampling plan, which covers both the installed control cablesand future control cable'nstallation, has been implemented by the Field. Asa result of this program, the Field reported in BCLPC-7743 dated 5/21/80(Document Control Number 119795) to PP&L Construction that no failures werefound on the sampling of Class 1E cables installed prior to the stop work date.
En addition, a testing program has been implemented to test all Dll
![Page 8: j. gg ConstructionThe data above indicates that the rate of 1/C 810 megger test failure is higher than for the other cable types. Review of documents indicates that this is the smallest](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071507/6127be8186881602755ee752/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
(1/C f10 AWG) cable presently installed 9 Susquehanna SES. It consists ofa DC megger at voltages up to 5 KV DC on all Q as well as non+ cable. Theacceptance criteria will be 1000 megohm minimum resistance. All cable whichfails thi.s criteria will be tagged for replacement or abandonment.
Conclusions:
1. Some safety-related cables were damaged during normal scheduledcable pulling activities. This damage was discovered and documented on NCRsduring QC inspections.
2. The cause of the cable damage was one or more of the factors 1'stedunder "Causes". The nature of the cable damage was varied, and was describedin the referenced NCR's. Where overtension had originally been identified asa deficiency, new analyses by cable manufacturers showed that the originalmaximum sidewall pressures were conservative; therefore, .these original over-tension deficiencies, when rechecked, were all found to be acceptable underthe revised maximum pulling tensions.
3. The mixing of large and small diameter cables in the same racewayand the use of 2/c cable in a flat configuration on both long and/or complexpulls will be avoided, wherever possible, in the Euture as a result of thecorrective measures being implemented by both Project Engineering and Construc-tion.
4. Megger testing is in the construction procedures and will continueto be employed in the Euture.
5. As cable damage was discovered, it was documented through the QAProgram.
6. The Fi'eld completed the implementation of Appendix B of the InterimResponse to this MCAR, which outlined the procedures for the verification ofcables installed prior to June 14, 1979 work stoppage. Based on the revisedvalues of maximum allowable pulling tensions shown in Drawing E-59, the Fieldreported that there was no new Class lE cables identified to be overtensioned.
7. The project Field QC has been monitoring the Construction activitiesto ensure that procedures established Eor the installation of cables arefollowed.
8. Through the action taken and the testing programs implemented asoutlined in the section entitled "Corrective Action", NPE believes the cablepulling problems have been satisfactorily resolved.
