  • The in-cabinet response spectrum is used to define the input motion in the seismic qualification of instruments and devices mounted inside an electrical cabinet. This paper presents a procedure for generating the in-cabinet response spectrum for electrical equipment based on in-situ testing by an impact hammer. The proposed procedure includes an algorithm to build the relationship between the impact forces and the measured acceleration responses of cabinet structures by estimating the state-space model. This model is used to predict seismic responses to the equivalent earthquake forces. Three types of structural model are analyzed for numerical verification of the proposed method. A comparison of predicted and simulated response spectra shows good convergence, demonstrating the potential of the proposed method to predict the response spectra for real cabinet structures using vibration tests. The presented procedure eliminates the uncertainty associated with constructing an analytical model of the electrical cabinet, which has complex mass distribution and stiffness.

  • Electrical instruments and devices contained in cabinets for controlling nuclear power plants require seismic qualification; likewise, in-cabinet response spectrum (ICRS) is necessary. Gupta et al. (1999) suggested the Ritz method, where rocking, frame bending, and plate bending behaviors of cabinets are considered, as a method for determining ICRS. This research proposes a method to determine the rocking stiffness of cabinets, which represents its rocking behavior. The cabinet is fixed on mounting frames and is connected to the base concrete by anchors. When horizontal excitation is applied to the cabinet, the mounting frames at anchors are locally deformed, the mounting frames are bent, and then rocking in the cabinet becomes evident. A method to determine equivalent vertical spring stiffness representing the local deformation of the mounting frames at anchors is then proposed. Subsequently, the rocking stiffness of this mounting frame is calculated upon assumption of the mounting frame as an indeterminate beam.

  • Safety-related cabinets and their electrical parts, such as relays and switches in nuclear power plants, should maintain continuous functioning, as well as structural safety according to the nuclear regulatory guidelines. Generally, an electrical part is qualified if its functioning is maintained without abnormality during excitement by motion compatible with the test response spectrum, which is larger than its in-cabinet response spectrum (ICRS). ICRS can be determined by shake-table test or dynamic analysis. Since existing cabinets in use can hardly be stopped and moved, dynamic analysis is preferred over shake-table test in determining ICRS. The simple method, suggested by the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) to determine ICRS, yields conservative or non-conservative results from time to time. In order to determine that the ICRS is better than EPRI method in a simple way, Ritz method considering global and local plate behaviors was suggested by Gupta et al. In this paper, the Ritz method is modified in order to consider the rocking and frame behaviors simultaneously, and it is applied to a simple numerical example for verification. ICRS is determined by Ritz method and compared with the results by finite element method (FEM). Based on this numerical example, recommendations for using Ritz method are suggested.

  • Seismic qualification of instruments and devices mounted on electrical cabinets in a nuclear power plant is performed in this study by means of the in-cabinet response spectrum (ICRS). A simple method and two rigorous methods are proposed in the EPRI NP-7146-SL guidelines for generating the ICRS. The simple method of EPRI can give unrealistic spectra that are excessively conservative in many cases. In the past, the time domain analysis (TDA) methods have been mostly used to analyze a structure. However, the TDA requires the generation of an artificial earthquake input motion compatible to the target response spectrum. The process of generating an artificial earthquake may involve a great deal of uncertainty. In addition, many time history analyses should be performed to increase the accuracy of the results. This study developed a numerical analysis program for generating the ICRS by frequency domain analysis (FDA) method. The developed program was validated by the numerical study. The ICRS calculated by FDA thoroughly matched with those obtained from TDA. This study then confirms that the method it proposes can simply and efficiently generate the ICRS compared to the time domain method.

  • The seismic capacity of electric cabinets in Nuclear Power Plants (NPPs) should be qualified before installation and be maintained during operation. However it can happen that identical devices cannnot be produced for replacement of devices mounted in electric cabinets. In case of when no In-Cabinet Response Spectrum (ICRS) is available for new devices, ICRS can be generated by using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). In this study we investigate structural response and ICRSs of battery charger which is supplied to NPPs. Test results on the battery charger are utilized in this study. The response is measured by accelerometers installed on the housing of the battery charger and local panels in the battery charger. Numerical analysis model is established based on resonant frequency search test results and validated by comparison with 2 types of earthquake testing results. ICRSs produced from the numerical model are compared with measured ICRSs in the seismic tests. Developed analysis model is a simple reduced model and anticipates ICRSs quite well as measured response in the tests overall despite of its structural limitation.

  • Responses of the cabinet of the reactor safety system under seismic leadings are analyzed, its dynamic characteristics and structural reliability being evaluated. Analyzed natural frequencies are compared with those measured from a resonance test. Structural safety of the cabinet is evaluated in consideration of the required response spectrums of the operation-base and safe-shutdown earthquakes. Transient responses of the cabinet are analyzed with input ground acceleration measured during the seismic test, accelerations being extracted at the locations of the main internal parts. The transient responses are compared with those from the seismic test, favorable results being shown.

  • A method to verify seismic qualification of the plant protection system cabinet for a nuclear power plant is presented. A finite element model of the cabinet is developed and correlated to the dynamic properties observed during in-situ vibration test of the actual structure. The results of the modal analysis provide insight into the fundamental dynamic properties of the structure. Techniques for verifying structural integrity and operability are exemplified by summarizing response spectrum and time history analyses of the structure.

  • 원자력발전소에 설치되는 주요 전기기기들의 내부 부품을 내진검증하기 위해서는 캐비닛내부응답스펙트럼이 필요하고, 이는 캐비닛의 각 위치에서 정확한 지진응답을 구한 후에 생성이 가능하다. 반면에 대부분의 전기기기는 질량과 강성 분포가 복잡하기 때문에 해석적 방법에 의해 동적 분석을 수행하는 것이 어렵다. 이러한 여건을 감안하여 이 연구에서는 해석과 시험을 조합하여 기기의 지진응답을 예측하는 간편한 절차를 제안하였다. 제안된 절차는 먼저 충격시험을 통하여 규명된 실험모드특성을 이용하여 독립된 모드방정식을 구성하고, 이로부터 모드응답을 계산한 다음, 각 모드응답을 중첩함으로써 구조물의 지진응답을 예측한다. 제안된 절차의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해서, 별도로 제작된 단순 강재 프레임 시편에 제안된 절차를 적용하여 지진응답을 예측하고, 이를 실제 진동대시험을 통하여 계측한 결과와 비교하였다. 이 연구를 통하여 충격시험에 의해 얻어진 실험모드특성을 이용하여 구조물의 지진응답을 비교적 정확하게 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

  • 본 연구에서는 원자력발전소의 주요 설비중의 하나인 전기설비를 대상으로 지진취약도 재평가를 위한 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 원자력발전소 내에는 많은 전기설비들이 설치되어 있으며, 이러한 전기설비의 손상은 전기설비 자체의 손상에서 그치는 것이 아니고 발전소 전체의 안전성에 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있다. 따라서 원자력발전소의 확률론적 지진안전성 평가에서는 주요 전기설비에 대한 지진취약도 결과를 활용한 평가를 수행하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 확률론적 지진안전성 평가에서 사용하고 있는 전기설비의 지진취약도 값에 대한 재평가를 위하여 원자력발전소에서 사용하고 있는 주요 기기에 대한 진동대 실험을 수행하였다. 평가대상 전기설비로는 480V MCC를 선정하였으며, 진동대 실험을 위하여 NRC 설계지진, 등재해도 스펙트럼에 의한 인공지진 그리고 PAB165'에서의 층응답스펙트럼을 이용한 인공지진의 3가지 지진파를 이용하였다. 설계지진동 수준인 최대지반가속도 0.2g부터 단계적으로 입력수준을 증가시키면서 실험을 수행하였다. NUREG/CR-5203에서 제시하고 있는 방법에 의거하여 캐비넷에서의 증폭비를 비교하였으며, EPRI TR-103959의 방법으로 취약도 평가를 수행하여 기존의 확률론적 지진안전성 평가에서 사용하고 있는 지진취약도 결과와 비교하였다. 결론적으로 기존의 보고서에서 제시하고 있는 취약도 결과가 다소 보수적으로 평가하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • Accurate prediction of the radiated noise is important to reduce the noise of the washing machine. It is also necessary to predict the excitation force accurately because excitation force can induce noise. In order to predict the excitation force acting on the washing machine, this paper conducts source identification method by use of phase reference spectrum. In this method, the transfer function between the cabinet and the motor through FEM and the measured response from the surface of the cabinet is used. The analysis of the radiation noise from the identified exciting force has been investigated. The comparison between the predicted SPL and the measured SPL at 1m apart from the front side of the washing machine showed good tendency.
