Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) is conducting a special study on relays. The primary objective of the first series of relay tests was to study systematically the influence of relay design and input motion on seismic capability. The second test series will address some fundamental questions regarding the relay chatter acceptance criteria in addition to the chatter tolerance behavior of a breaker circuit. The characteristics of each relay model as observed from the single frequency test data of the first test series and an outline of the plans for the second test series are described in this paper. 3 refs., 1 tab.
