Seismic Qualification Test on Motor Control Center for Use in Nuclear Power Plants

원자력발전소용 Motor Control Center의 내진검증시험

The safety related equipments for use in nuclear power plants should be subjected to the seismic qualification in order to insure the safety of the nuclear power plant. This paper summarizes the seismic qualification test on the Low Voltage Motor Control Centers(MCC's) for use in Wolsong Nuclear Power Plants, Units 2, 3 and 4. The seismic qualification test was performed on the two prototype MCC's(a two-bay wide unit for Phase #1 Test and a five-bay wide unit for Phase #2 Test). The specimens were electrically powered and monitored during the test process. It was demonstrated that the specimens possessed sufficient structural and electrical integrity to withstand the required seismic conditions.
