AGASTAT E7000 Series, Nuclear Qualified Time Delay Relays
Seismic and Radiation Tested
In order to satisfy the growing need for electrical control components suitable for
class 1E service in nuclear
power generating stations,
AGASTAT timing relays have
been tested for three applications. These E7000 Series
electropneumatic devices
have demonstrated compliance with the requirements
of IEEE Standards 3231974 (Standard for
Qualifying Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power
Generating Stations) and
IEEE Standard 344-1975
(Seismic Qualifications for
Nuclear Power Generating
Stations). Testing was also
referenced to ANSI/IEEE
C37.98 (formerly IEEE
Standard 501-1978,
Standard for Seismic
Testing of Relays).
The present E7000 Series
design has evolved over
40 years of continual field
use in a wider range of
industrial applications.
On-Delay, Off-Delay and
Four-Pole versions are available for use with a choice
of 23 coil voltages, as well
as time delay adjustment to
as long as 60 minutes.

Data was measured and recorded and
used for comparison throughout the
qualification test program in order to
detect any degradation of performance.
Temperature Aging
Hostile Environment
This test subjected the relays to a temperature of 100°C for 42 days, with performance measured before and after
thermal stress.
Since the timing relays are intended for
use in auxiliary and control buildings,
and not in the reactor containment areas,
a hostile environment test was performed in place of the Loss of Coolant
Accident (LOCA) test. Relays were
subjected to combination extreme
temperature/humidity plus under/over
voltage testing to prove their ability to
function under adverse conditions even
after having undergone all the previous
aging simulation and seismic testing.
The devices were operated at minimum
and maximum voltage extremes: 85 and
120 percent of rated voltage for AC
units, and 80 and 120 percent of rated
voltage for DC units, with temperatures
ranging from 40°F to 172°F at 95 percent relative humidity.
Test Procedure
Test Procedure
Baseline Performance
In addition to aging tests, a series of
baseline tests were conducted before,
and immediately after each aging
sequence:
Pull-in Voltage
Drop-out Voltage
Dielectric Strength at 1650V 60Hz
Insulation Resistance
Seismic Aging
Sufficient interactions were performed at
levels less than the fragility levels of the
devices in order to satisfy the seismic
aging requirements of IEEE STD 3231974 and IEEE STD 344-1975.
Radiation Aging
Seismic Qualification
Relays were subjected to a radiation
dosage of 2.0 x 105 Rads, which is considered to exceed adverse plant operating requirements for such areas as
auxiliary and control buildings.
Artificially aged relays were subjected to
simulated seismic vibration, which verified the ability of the individual device to
perform its required function before, during and/or following design basis earthquakes. Relays were tested in the
non-operating, operating and transitional modes.
Cycling with Load Aging
The radiated units were then subjected to
27,500 operations at accelerated rate,
with one set of contacts loaded to
120VAC, 60Hz at 10 amps; or 125VDC
at 1 amp, and the number of mechanical
operations exceeding those experienced
in actual service.

Specialty Relays
AGASTAT timing relay Models E7012,
E7022, E7014 and E7024 were tested in
accordance with the requirements of IEEE
STD. 323-1974 (Standard for Qualifying
Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power
Generating Stations), IEEE STD. 344-1975
(Seismic Qualification for Nuclear Power
Generating Stations) and referenced to
ANSI/EEE C37.98 (formerly IEEE
Standard 501-1978, Standard for
Seismic Testing of Relays). The relays
were tested according to parameters
which in practice, should encompass the
majority of applications. Documented
data applies to timing relays which were
mounted on rigid test fixtures. The
following descriptions of the tests
performed are presented in their actual
sequence.
The SRS shape (at 5 percent damping), is defined by four points:
point A = 1.0 Hz and an acceleration equal to 25 percent of the
Zero Period Acceleration
point D = 4.0 Hz and 250 percent of the ZPA
point E = 16.0 Hz and 250 percent of the ZPA
point G = 33.0 Hz and a level equal to the ZPA

AGASTAT E7000 Series, Nuclear Qualified Time Delay Relays (Continued)
Operation
Two basic operating types are available:
On-delay models provide a delay period
on energization, at the end of which the
switch transfers the load from one set of
contacts to another. Deenergizing the
unit during the delay period immediately
recycles the unit, readying it for another
full delay period on reenergization.
In off-delay models the switch transfers
the load immediately upon energization,
and the delay period does not begin until
the unit is deenergized. At the end of the
delay period the switch returns to its
original position. Reenergizing the unit
during the delay period immediately
resets the timing, readying it for another
full delay period on deenergization. No
power is required during the timing
period.
On-Delay Models, E7012
Off-Delay Models, E7022
(Delay on pick-up)
(Delay on drop-out)
Applying for at least 50 msec voltage
to the coil (L1-L2) starts a time delay
lasting for the preset time. During this
period the normally closed contacts
(3–5 and 4–6) remain closed. At the end
of the delay period the normally closed
contacts break and the normally open
contacts (1–5 and 2–6) make. The contacts remain in this transferred position
until the coil is deenergized, at which
time the switch instantaneously returns
to its original position.
Deenergizing the coil, either during or
after the delay period, will recycle the
unit within .050 second. It will then
provide a full delay period upon reenergization, regardless of how often the coil
voltage is interrupted before the unit has
been permitted to “time-out” to its full
delay setting.
Applying voltage to the coil (for at
least .050 second) will instantaneously
transfer the switch, breaking the normally
closed contacts (1–5 and 2–6), and
making the normally open contacts
(3–5 and 4–6). Contacts remain in this
transferred position as long as the coil is
energized. The time delay begins immediately upon deenergization. At the end
of the delay period the switch returns to
its normal position.
Reenergizing the coil during the delay
period will immediately return the timing
mechanism to a point where it will provide a full delay period upon subsequent
deenergization. The switch remains in
the transferred position.
Four Pole Models, E7014,
E7024
With the addition of an extra switch block
at the bottom of the basic units, this
version of the E7000 Series offers four
pole switch capacity with simultaneous
timing or two-step timing. The two-step
operation is achieved by factory adjustment to your specifications.

Time Delay Information
Delay Setting
Contact Ratings — Nuclear
All units are furnished with dials in
linear increments covering the range
selected. (See “Catalog Number Code”).
In addition, ranges B through K provide
non-linear adjustment from .2 second to
the beginning of the linear zone.
Dial graduations are provided to minimize
the time required to set the unit to a
specific delay. Rotate the dial clockwise
to increase the delay; counter-clockwise
to decrease it.
The following procedure is recommended if the unit must be set to a very
precise delay value:
1. Set dial to desired time delay. (On
letter-graduated units, this requires
an approximation of a percentage
value between the arrowhead “䊲”
on the dial, which provides minimum
time, and the letter “E,” which
provides maximum time.)
2. Record as many time delays as
required to establish a stable average.
3. If the recorded average delay is
shorter than the desired time, turn
dial slightly clockwise; if it is longer,
turn dial counter-clockwise.
4. Repeat step 2 after each adjustment,
until required delay is recorded.
Because of the variety of environments
in which time delay relays are applied,
we recommend a re-check of the time
delay after approximately three hours of
operation. If any change from the initial
time setting is apparent, the relay should
be reset to the desired delay. The time
delay accuracy should then be monitored on a monthly basis for several
months, and if no substantial change in
time delay has taken place, the frequency
of checking may be reduced. It is
recommended that this procedure be
incorporated in the Operating
Instructions for your equipment.

Repeat Accuracy
Repeat accuracy at any fixed temperature
is defined as:
*The repeat accuracy deviation (AR) of
a time-delay relay is a measure of the
maximum deviation in the time-delay
that will be experienced in successive
operations at any particular time setting
of the relay and for any particular
operating voltage or current.
Repeat accuracy is obtained from the
following formula:
(T – T )
AR = ± 100 1 2
(T1 + T2)
Where —
T1 = Maximum time delay.
T2 = Minimum time delay.
*NEMA part ICS 2-218.02
Repeat accuracy at any fixed temperature
is ± 10% of setting.
The first time delay afforded by units
with H (3 to 30 minutes) and I (6 to 60
minutes) time ranges may be up to 15%
longer than subsequent delays, due to
coil temperature rise.
Dial position error is not included in the
repeat accuracy specification above.

Timing Adjustment
12
Specialty Relays
The AGASTAT E7000 Series is the first
electropneumatic timer to offer the ease
of adjustment and resetting of a graduated
dial head. Discrete ranges covering a
total span from .1 second to 60 minutes
are available. (See table on page 12-20.)
Each has its own graduated, clearly
identified dial. Timing is set by simply
turning the dial to the desired time value.
In the zone of approximately 25° separating the high and low ends of timing
ranges A, D, E, and K, instantaneous
operation (no time delay) will occur. All
other ranges produce an infinite time
delay when the dial is set in this zone.
