Abstract
Critical electrical equipment used in nuclear generating stations are required to perform their safety functions during a seismic disturbance. Continuous sine testing has been conducted to verify the capability of particular switchgear and motor control centers to withstand such excitations. This paper presents the rationale used to arrive at required test levels and discusses the equipment dynamic response characteristics obtained in these tests.
