AGASTAT EGP/EML/ETR Series, Nuclear Qualified Control Relays
Seismic and Radiation Tested
In order to satisfy the
need for electrical control
components suitable for
class 1E service in nuclear
power generating stations,
AGASTAT control relays have
been tested for these applications. Series EGP, EML
and ETR have demonstrated
compliance with the requirements of IEEE Standards
323-1974 (Standard for
qualifying Class 1E Equipment for Nuclear Power
Generating Stations) and
IEEE Standard 344-1975
(Seismic Qualification 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 design of Series EGP,
EML and ETR control relays
has evolved over 20 years
of continual use in a wide
range of industrial
applications. Control Relay,
Magnetic Latch and Timing
Relay versions are available
for use with a choice of
coil voltages, as well as an
internal fixed or adjustable
potentiometer in the Series
ETR time delay version.

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
Operate Time (milliseconds)
}
Radiation Aging
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.
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.
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.
Seismic Qualification
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.
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 (ZPA)
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

Operation
Series EGP
Power Relay
The ML Relay is not symmetrical due
to its three coil connections.
Applying a voltage to the coil (B1-B4)
for more than 50 msec energizes the
coil and instantaneously transfers the
switch, breaking the normally closed
contacts (M1-R1, M2-R2, M3-R3, M4R4) and making the normally open
contacts (M1-T1, M2-T2, M3-T3, M4T4). The contacts remain in this transferred position until the coil is
deenergized, at which time the switch
instantaneously returns the contacts to
their original position.
The relays are normally delivered
polarized so that terminal B4 carries
the negative voltage. To reverse the
polarity, a deenergize/energize cycle
should be carried out using a voltage
50% greater than the normal rating.

Continuous Duty Wiring
Since the double wound coil does not
have a continuous duty rating, voltage
pulses to the coils should not exceed
a ratio of 40% on, to 60% off, with
maximum power-on periods not to
exceed 10 minutes.
Series EML
Magnetic Latch
Application of a voltage to the latching
input (B1-B4) will cause the relay to
latch in (Make the N.O. Contacts,
break the N.C. Contacts). When this
voltage is removed, the relay will
remain in this “Latched” condition.
Application of a voltage to the unlatching input (B3-B4) will cause the
relay to dropout (Break the N.O.
Contacts, make the N.C. Contacts).
When this voltage is removed, the
relay will remain in this “Unlatched”
condition.
If continuous energizing only is
available, a resistor/capacitor network
should be connected as shown below.
In this case the shortest time between
two operations must not be less than
5 seconds.

Series ETR
Time Delay Relay
(Delay on Energization)
Applying a voltage to the input
terminals (B1-B4) for more than 50
msec starts a time delay lasting for the
preset time period. During this period
the normally closed contacts (Four
M-R sets) remain closed. At the end of
the delay period, the normally closed
contacts break and the normally open
contacts (Four M-T sets) make. The
contacts remain in this position until
the relay is deenergized, at which time
the contacts instantaneously return to
their normal position. Deenergizing the
relay, either during or after the delay
period will recycle the unit within
.075 second. It will then provide a
full delay period upon reenergization,
regardless of how often the voltage is
interrupted before the unit has been
permitted to “time-out” to its full delay
setting.
The relay will always assume the
energized position in the event of
both windings being energized
simultaneously.
It is advisable not to put another load
in parallel with the windings of the
ML relay.
ML Series Relay for DC Operation with a
Resistor/Capacitor Network
Wiring Diagram (Wiring and Connections)
The ML relay has three terminals for the
windings: latching winding between terminals B1 and B4, un-latching winding
between terminals B3 and B4.

maximum deviation in the time-delay that
will be experienced in five successive
operations at any particular time setting
of the relay and over the operating
voltage and temperature range specified.
Repeat accuracy is obtained from the
following formula:
(T1 - T2)
AR = ± 100
(T1 + T2)

T1 = Maximum Time Delay
