1. INTRODUCTION

Relays as components of systems for automatic protection and signalization in NPP-s areessential elements of different multi-functioning control panels and other control, protectiveand signaling assemblages.

Considering the wide spectrum of application of relays and for the purpose of unifying theprograms for seismic testing of NPP relays, the regulations (standards and guidelines) definecertain main bases, conditions and criteria of testing.

According to the regulations, relays could be divided into two global groups:protective and auxiliary relays.

The conditions under which the relays are tested could be defined according to the siteconditions, the dynamic characteristics of the engineering structure, the conditions ofassemblage of the panel or the rack, the conditions of assemblage of the relays (on the panelor the rack) , or, when such concrete important data are lacking, the tests are performed byprescribed standard testing seismic excitations.

The standard testing seismic excitations have the prescribed form of testing accelerationspectra, while the scaling of the excitation intensity is done according to the local seismicconditions (proof testing) or up to the limits determined by the tested or the testingequipment (fragility testing).

2. TESTING PROGRAM

The testing program was established on the basis of three IEEE standards that are mostrelevant for the realization of the seismic qualification tests of relays:• IEEE Std. 501 -1978 (C37.98), IEEE Standard, Seismic Testing of Relays• IEEE Std. 344 - 1987 (1974), IEEE Recommended Practice for Seismic Qualification

of Class IE Equipment for Nuclear PowerGenerating Stations;

• IEEE Std. 323 - 1983 (1974), IEEE Standard for Qualifying Class IE Equipment forNuclear Power Generating Stations;

The most relevant parameters and conditions that determine the testing program are:• Seismic excitations:• Mounting Conditions• Driving Signals of the Tested Specimens (Voltage or Current).• External Breaking Signals• Duration of the Real Time Seismic Excitations• "Switch ON" and "Switch OFF" Operations• Intensity of the Seismic Excitations• Monitoring of Functional Performances of the Relays

Testing program are done in two identical phases:First, the tests are done by simultaneous biaxial excitations, in the L&V directions, and afterthe same testing procedure is done in the T&V directions.

Tests are performed by gradual increase in the intensity of seismic excitations.Excitations are generated with peak acceleration of approximately:0.3 ZPA, 0.6 ZPA, 1.0 ZPA, 1.5 ZPA, 2.5 ZPA and 4.0 ZPA.

ZPA (Zero Period Acceleration of the Testing Spectrum) is considered as nominalintensity, and this value corresponds to the Peak Acceleration value of the scaledacceleration time history, according to the guidelines recommendations.

3. TESTED SPECIMENS

Five types of relays, used at NPP "Kozloduy" Unit 5, were selected for seismic testing. Thesection ASUTP-2 (Automatic Systems for Control of the Technological Processes) atNPP "Kozloduy" made the selection of the following types of relays:

Pn-8, PII-23, Pn-252, PT-40, PM-305

Three samples of each relay type were tested: two new ones (from the stock) and a used one.

Review of the locations, the corresponding Response Spectra (nodal point responsespectra), types of the control panels (where the relays are mounted) and the consideredfunctions of the tested types of the relays is presented in the Table 1.

4. SELECTION OF SEISMIC EXCITATIONS

The correct selection of relevant seismic excitations is an important task and the final choiceshould be made by competent subjects.The following input data were considered during the selection of the seismic excitations:

• Type of tested relays; The selected types of relays are: protective and auxiliary.• Type of control panels; The selected types of relays are used in a different types of

control panels for protection, control and signalization. Up to three different types ofcontrol panels are considered.

• Locations and mode of mounting of the panels and relays: The selected types of relaysare mounted on different locations. Up to four main locations are considered. All selectedtypes of panels are fixed-base mounted, without base isolating elements. Mode ofmounting of the relays on the testing supports is similar to that of mounting the relays inthe control panel.

• Selected Response Spectra: Two sets of SSE (Safety Shut-Down Earthquake) Responsespectra for L, T, V directions corresponding to the two different nodal points(596,700)of NPP "Kozloduy" ,Unit 5, at the same level (13.20 m) are selected.

4.1 Creation of the Synthesized Acceleration Time Historiesfor Performing of the Seismic Testing

The seismic testing of the relays are done by application of two different time histories.

The first acceleration time history (symbolically named "SRS") is created based on theStandard Response Spectra shape prescribed by IEEE Standard 501. This shape is presentedon Figure 1. The characteristics of this spectrum shape are derived from the curvecorresponding to 5% of critical damping.• At frequency 1 Hz, the spectral amplitude value is 25% of ZPA.• In the frequency band from 1 Hz to 4 Hz, the spectral amplitudes are increased from 25%

to 250% of the ZPA value.• In the frequency band from 4 Hz to 16 Hz the spectral amplitudes have constant values

equal to 250% of the ZPA value.• In the frequency band from 16 Hz to 33 Hz, the spectral amplitudes are decreased from

250% to 100% of the ZPA value.• In the frequency band from 33 Hz to 100 Hz the spectral amplitudes have constant values

equal to 100% of the ZPA value.

The second acceleration time history (symbolically named "ENV") is created based on theEnvelope Spectrum shape. This shape is presented on Figure 2. The Envelope Spectra iscreated as absolute envelope spectrum covering the six response spectra (L,T,V components atnodal points 596, 700) and "SRS" spectrum. The characteristics of this spectrum shape arederived from the curve corresponding to 5% of critical damping.• In the frequency band of 0.1 Hz to 2.4 Hz, the envelope is defined by the amplitudes of

the mentioned floor response spectra for the longitudinal direction - L.• In the frequency band of 2.4 Hz to 5.0 Hz, the envelope is defined by the amplitudes of

the mentioned floor response spectra for the vertical direction - V,• In the frequency band of 5.0 Hz to 100 Hz, the envelope is defined by the amplitudes of

the Standard Response Spectra Shape (SRS) scaled at 0.25 g Zero PeriodAcceleration.

The both acceleration time histories are calculated by application of the verified methodsbased on the previously defined required (testing) response spectrum and selected accelerationtime history (like real earthquake acceleration) with spectral amplitude characteristics similarwith the required spectrum shape. The calculated time histories are normalized to peakacceleration value of lg = 9810mm/s2). The real intensity scaling is adopted during theprogramming of the testing processes.

As input parameters derived from the local site conditions are the maximal ZPA value (about2500 mm/s2) value of the six selected response spectra corresponding to the nodal points596 and 700 and the official Design Acceleration Time History for the NPP "Kozloduy"location.

Associated Systems

The main dynamic characteristics of the system are:

• The maximum tested specimen n ass is 40.000 kg.• The maximum tested specimen size 5m x 5m x 9m.• The maximal horizontal stroke is ± 125 mm,

while the maximal vertical stroke is ± 60 mm.• The maximal horizontal acceleration is ± 20 m/s2 {± 2g),

while the maximal vertical acceleration is ± 10 m/s2 (± lg).

The programming and control of the shaking table is provided by the performances of theelectro-hydraulic equipment and the analog the electronic system realized as five-degreethree-variable (displacement velocity, acceleration) control system with displacement asmain command signal in the horizontal and (or) vertical direction.

6. PROGRAMMING AND CONTROL OF THE SHAKING TABLE

The programmed movement of the shaking table is provided by the processes controlcomputer system and the analog control system facilities.

The computer system is used for ON-LINE generation of seismic excitations and dataacquisition, however the analog control system performs all the other functions related to thecontrolled processes including adjustment of the intensity of the dynamic excitations.

The electro-hydraulic system and analog control system facilities provide stable and accuratecontrol of processes with displacement time history as main command signal.

For that reason, it is necessary to perform numerical calculation of all the three signals(acceleration, velocity and displacements) representing the kinematics of the shaking tablemovement.

Programming of the movement intensity is provided by an accurate adjustments of thedisplacement amplitudes as ratio of the shaking table full stroke in horizontal and verticaldirections.

7. DATA ACQUISITION AND ON-LINE MONITORINGOF THE RELAY'S CONTACTS

The Data Acquisition System was considered to provide recording of the following types ofsignals:

• shaking table acceleration and displacement in horizontal and vertical direction,• stability of relay's functions and contacts, when the relay's contacts have to be

OPENED• stability of relay's functions and contacts, when the relay's contacts have to be

CLOSED

Following these statements, the data acquisition system was formed by up to 34 channels,

• 2 channels were used for recording of the shaking table acceleration,• 2 channels were used for recording of the shaking table displacement,• 15 channels were used for monitoring of the withstanding and functional stability of

the normally OPENED relay's contacts• 15 channels were used for monitoring of the withstanding and functional stability of

the normally CLOSED relay's contacts

The ON-LINE monitoring of the relay's contacts was provided by forming of up to 30auxiliary circuits, (See Figure 6), each formed as serial connection of the common DC powersupply, Resistor of about 200 Ohms resistance and pair of the monitored contacts. Thevoltage presented at the relay's contacts was recorded by the Data Acquisition System. If thecontacts are OPENED, the NON-ZERO voltage signal will be recorded, if the contacts areCLOSED, the ZERO voltage signal will be recorded.

The review of the acquired signals, representing the data acquisition system schedule ispresented in the Table 2.

A separate module was designed and produced for manual simulation of events for changingof the relay's contacts status, from OPEN to CLOSED and vice-versa.

7. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE

According to the regulatory standards and guidelines and the defined testing program, thesame testing procedure was performed twice, first in Longitudinal & Vertical Direction andafter in Transversal & Vertical Direction. As the longitudinal direction of the relays,conventionally is named the direction normal to the mounting surface.

Several tests were performed with the intensity about 10% to 20% of the considered nominalintensity with intention to check the functioning of the whole (testing and tested) equipmentand to define dynamic parameters for proper and accurate programming of the shaking table.

As nominal intensity of the seismic excitations (Peak Acceleration) is considered the maximalvalue (about 0.25g = 2500 mm/s2) of ZPA (Zero Period Acceleration) of the selected SSEspectra for 5% damping of critical.

In each direction (L&V and T & V), the tests with peak acceleration of 0.5»ZPA,1.0»ZPA, 1.5»ZPA, 2.0-ZPA and 4.0-ZPA are performed with "SRS" time history andthe tests with peak acceleration of 0*5»ZPA, 1.0»ZPA, and 1.5«ZPA are performed with"ENV" time history.In each direction (L&V and T & V), the same tests were performed once with horizontaland vertical signals in phase, and after with horizontal and vertical signals in oppositephase.

On Figure 7, the shaking table acceleration and displacement signals with "SRS" excitationare presented, while on the Figure 8, the shaking table acceleration and displacement signalswith "ENV" excitation are presented.

On Figure 9, the example of the ON-LINE monitoring records of the relay's contacts signalsare presented, for seismic excitation "SRS" with intensity about 4.0»ZPA or lg=9810 mm/s2

8. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The seismic testing of five types of relays, used at NPP "Kozloduy", Unit 5, were performedwith a several intentions.

• Cover the Institute's obligations in the framework of the IAEA Coordinated ResearchProgram: "Benchmarks Study for Seismic Analysis and Testing of WWER NuclearPower Plants", Project: Seismic Functional Qualification of Electrical and MechanicalEquipment Based on Shaking Table Testing".

• Demonstrate the proposed methodology and the existing performances of the Institute'sDynamic Testing Laboratory.
