Introduction—What is IEEE 693?

 IEEE 693 defines recommended practices for


the seismic design of substations
 Includes substation equipment / components,
and supports.
 Excludes Class 1E nuclear safety-related
equipment (covered by IEEE 344).
 Refers to other related documents for detailed
design requirements of structures,
anchorages, and foundations.

19

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Introduction—
History Before IEEE 693-1997
 No single set of design criteria available—
Each utility develops its own seismic
requirements.
 Ineffective methods and practices.
 Inefficient qualification procedure—
 Manufacturers potentially required to perform
multiple qualifications for same equipment.
 Each utility bears total cost of qualification.
 Lack of uniformity creates roadblocks to
improving equipment performance.
20

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Introduction—
History Before IEEE 693-1997
 Several Western U.S. utilities formed ad-hoc
committee: Inter-Utility Seismic Working
Group (IUSWG).
 IUSWG evolved into the Working Group of
the West Coast Substation Subcommittee,
which developed IEEE 693-1997.
 IEEE 693 Working Group (D4) members
include utility engineers, manufacturers,
consulting engineers, academic community.

21

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


How does IEEE 693 address
these problems?
 Establishes single set of criteria for multiple
users. This is a guiding principle, known within
the Working Group as our “Prime Directive*.”

* There was bound to be a Trekkie in the group.

22

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


How does IEEE 693 address
these problems?
 Provides comprehensive
treatment of methods of
qualification, earthquake
inputs, and acceptance
criteria, covering different
types of equipment, in a
single document.

23

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


How does IEEE 693 address
these problems?
 Improves effectiveness— requirements are based on
equipment characteristics that affect vulnerability,
observed past earthquake performance, and importance.

24

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Improved effectiveness, for example
 Taller, more massive insulators are more
vulnerable.

 Characteristics are associated with higher


voltage classes.

 IEEE 693 imposes stricter qualification


requirements on equipment of higher voltage
classes.

25

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


How does IEEE 693 address
these problems?
 Improves efficiency—allows one qualification
test or analysis to serve multiple users.

The Scope of IEEE 693 and
Related Documents
 Seismic design requirements are defined by a suite
of standards, codes and guides.
 IEEE 693—Equipment, and its “first support*.”
 IEEE 1527—Flexible cable conductors.
 ASCE Substation Structure Design Guide—
Structures beyond “first support*” and anchorages.
 Model building codes—Buildings and foundations in
the substation (may depend on local jurisdiction).

Performance Goals
 No damage to qualified equipment and
structures following design earthquake.
 Functionality maintained during and after.
 Margin is available to resist effects of
earthquakes > design earthquake (achieved
by applying conservative acceptance criteria
with design earthquake).

36

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Applying IEEE 693—
Organization of the Standard
 Clauses (normative). Discusses requirements
and practices applicable to all equipment.
1. Overview
2. References
3. Definitions
4. Instructions
5. Installation considerations
6. Qualification methods
7. Design considerations
8. Seismic performance criteria for equipment
37

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Applying IEEE 693—
Organization of the Standard (cont’d)
 Annexes A through V (normative and
informative)
 Standard annexes generally applicable to
different equipment, e.g., input spectra, and
detailed test or analysis requirements.
 Qualification requirements applicable to specific
equipment.
 Qualification report templates.
 Informative annexes on various components.
 Guidelines for Purchaser’s specifications.

38

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Applying IEEE 693—
Process Overview Steps (Sect. 1.4)

1. Determine Qualification Level (High, Moderate or


Low), based site seismic hazard, soil, etc.
 Purchaser/ Utility specifies Qualification Level in
procurement documents, OR
 Manufacturer selects Qualification Level in order
to pre-qualify equipment.
2. Determine required qualification method (test or
analysis) per appropriate Annex. Varies with
equipment type / class, and Qualification Level.

39

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Applying IEEE 693—
Process Overview Steps (cont’d)
3. Execute qualification procedure. If necessary,
make design changes to correct deficiencies.
4. Prepare documentation: Seismic qualification
report and seismic outline dwg.
5. Submit documentation for acceptance by
equipment Purchaser / Utility.
6. Purchaser / Utility receives and installs
equipment in accordance with conditions of its
seismic qualification.

40

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Applying IEEE 693— How to Specify
(Sect. 4.2, 5.5, Annex U)
 Specify IEEE 693 in its entirety, without
alteration.
 Example: “The circuit breaker shall be qualified
to the requirements of IEEE 693-2005, and shall
meet the requirements of the High qualification
level.”
 Maintain the “single set of criteria”—Do not pick
and choose parts of the standard.

41

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Applying IEEE 693— How to Specify
(Sect. 4.2, 5.5, Annex U)
 Also specify:
 Type of equipment that matches one
described in Annex C through P. Otherwise,
specify Annex B.
 Qualification Level (High, Moderate, or Low).
 Description of support structure to be used, or
alternative means for accounting for effects of
support flexibility.
 Schedule for completion of the qualification.

What’s New in
IEEE 693-2005

43

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


What’s New in IEEE 693-2005
 Inherently acceptable equipment (A.1.4).
 Grandfathering and items qualified to a
previous version of IEEE 693 (Sect. 1.4,
1.4.1).
 Composite insulator acceptance criteria
(A.4.4).
 Input motion specifications for shake table
testing (A.1.2.2).

44

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


What’s New in IEEE 693-2005
 Qualification by “inherently acceptable”
clause was added.
 Applies to most equipment rated at < 35kV.
 Based on favorable performance of
equipment in this class.
 Design anchorages for equivalent static
seismic loading 1g horizontal + 0.8g vertical.

45

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


What’s New in IEEE 693-2005
 Existing qualification/ qualified to another
standard is considered valid if:
 User and Specialist signing the report agree in
writing that existing qualification meets or
exceeds IEEE 693.
 Technical justification is provided and
appended to the qualification report.

46

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


What’s New in IEEE 693-2005
 Equipment qualified to IEEE 693-1997 or later
is considered valid if:
 Item is not explicitly excluded in the current
version of IEEE 693.
 Explicitly excluded items are brought into
compliance with requirements of the current
version of IEEE 693.

Note: In IEEE 693-2005, only composite insulator shed


seal test is explicitly excluded.
47

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


What’s New in IEEE 693-2005
 Previous composite insulator shed seal tests
are explicitly excluded, therefore previous
qualifications are not valid. New procedure:
 Apply static cantilever load at 50% SML for 2
minutes.
 Heavily coat or submerge bottom (i.e., high
moment) end with penetrating dye.
 Release load, cut end of insulator in transverse
and longitudinal directions, and inspect for
penetration of dye.
48

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


What’s New in IEEE 693-2005

 New composite insulator shed seal test


 Better measure of performance—penetration
checked with insulator under load.
 Performed independently of shake table test—
Can be done at any time.
 Still a design test—One test covers all
insulators with same seal design.

49

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


What’s New in IEEE 693-2005
 Input motion specifications for shake table
testing were revised
 Pre-approved sets of standard time histories
(one numerically synthesized, one empirically-
based), were developed and available upon
e-mail request to [email protected].
 Other time histories may be developed and
used, if meeting the requirements of A.1.2.2.

Qualification Levels

51

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Level (Sect. 8.3)
 IEEE 693 establishes 3 Qualification Levels
 High (defined by Required Response Spectra, RRS)
 Moderate (defined by RRS)
 Low (defined by peak ground acceleration)

 Discrete levels simplify qualification procedure


and interchangeability of equipment
 Equipment Purchaser decides on appropriate
Qualification Level based on site seismic
hazard

Selecting the Appropriate Level
 Seismic Hazard Method (Sect. 8.6.1)
 More general; can be used anywhere
 Analysis of seismological data needed
 Seismic Exposure Map Method (U.S., Sect.
8.6.2)
 Requires ASCE 7 or NEHRP hazard maps
 May be more conservative than Seismic
Hazard Method
 Similar Exposure Map methods available for
Canada and Mexico
61

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Level—
Seismic Hazard Method (U.S.)
 Develop mean + 1σ maximum magnitude
earthquake spectrum* for the site, including
effects of local site soil conditions.
 Use PGA to establish Qualification Level:
 PGA > 0.5g, Use High Level.
 0.1g < PGA ≤ 0.5g, Use Moderate Level.
 PGA ≤ 0.1g, Use Low Level.

* Alternative: Use Maximum Considered Earthquake


(MCE) as defined by ASCE 7.
62

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Level—Seismic
Exposure Map Method (U.S.)
 Locate site on ASCE 7 maps, and determine the
Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE)
spectral acceleration at T = 0.2 sec. (Ss ) for Site
Class B (T = 1 / frequency).
 Compute Fa Ss for the appropriate soil class (A
thru F) present at the site.
 A—Hard rock
 B—Rock
 C—Very dense soil/ soft rock
 D—Stiff soil
 E—Soft soil
 F—Soil requiring special investigation
63

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Level—Seismic
Exposure Map Method (U.S., cont’d)
 Compute PGA = Fa Ss / 2.5.
 Use PGA to select Qualification Level:
 PGA > 0.5g, Use High Level.
 0.1g < PGA ≤ 0.5g, Use Moderate Level.

Qualification Level—
Suggestions for Utilities
 If site-specific spectra exceed 2 x IEEE 693 RRS in
frequency range of equipment to be qualified, should
consider qualifying to a higher level.
 Divide service territory into large zones for High,
Moderate or Low Qualification Levels.
 If site PGA falls in high end of Moderate Level
range, should conservatively use High Qualification
Level for that site to reduce risk of unfavorable
performance.
 Utility has prerogative to set the Qualification Level
for a site, and accept more or less risk.

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Performance Level and
Projected Performance
 IEEE 693 uses conservative acceptance
criteria (allowable stress design) for RRS
loading.
 Equipment qualified to RRS is expected to be
capable of performing acceptably at a level
above the RRS.
 That level is known as the Performance
Level, or PL.
 IEEE 693 intends that the PL = 2 x RRS, but
not a guarantee or certainty.

Performance Level and
Projected Performance
 Must test equipment to PL for better assurance
that it will perform acceptably at the PL.
 Without actual test to PL, its performance can
only be Projected from results of a lower level
test.
 Projected Performance is based on results of
a lower level test, and understanding of the
critical failure modes.
 Understanding of critical failure modes is never
complete, therefore we are always uncertain
about accuracy of Projected Performance.
72

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Performance Level and
Projected Performance
 Why not test all equipment to PL?
 Shake tables may be unable to deliver the
required acceleration levels.
 Testing close to failure of brittle materials
(e.g., porcelain) is hazardous.
 Expensive equipment may have to be
scrapped after PL test even if equipment
passes.
 However, test to PL provides better
assurance of equipment performance.

73

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Process

74

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Process
 Methods of Qualification
 Grandfathered (Sect. 1.4)
 Inherently acceptable (Annex A.1.4)
 Test (Annex A.1.2)
 Analysis (Annex A.1.3)

 Acceptance Criteria (Annex A.2)


 Qualification by Group (Sect. 4.7)
 Supports (Sect. 5.5)
 Types of equipment (Annex C-P)
 Documentation (Annex S, T)

75

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Test—
Resonance Search
 Required as the first and last test in every
qualification requiring a dynamic test.
 First test is used to identify frequencies of
vibration and damping of the equipment.
 Last test is used to assess damage to
equipment from other prior dynamic tests, by
comparing result with first resonance search.
 Excites the equipment at very low levels.
 Sine sweep or white noise tests are typically
used.

76

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Test—
Time History Shake Table
 Simulates shaking from earthquake.
 Required for most equipment in higher voltage
classes.
 Triaxial (3 components of earthquake applied
concurrently) test is preferred, but biaxial (1
horizontal + vertical component) also allowed.
 Input motion must meet Annex A.1.2.2
requirements. Use pre-approved input motions,
or develop new spectrum-compatible time
histories per A.1.2.2.
 Equipment functionality verified during/ after test.
77

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Test

 Resonance search
 Time history shake table Dynamic Tests
 Sine beat
 Static pull

78

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Test—Sine Beat
 Dynamic test designed to excite a single
frequency at a time.
 Input motion consists of five 10-cycle impulses,
separated by enough time for equipment to
come to rest.
 Applied to excite the most important 3 or 4
modes of vibration in each direction, as
identified by resonance search tests.
 Used for high voltage circuit breaker
qualification.

79

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Test—Static Pull
 Cantilever load test for insulators, bushings,
cable terminations, and other components.
 May be pull and hold, or snap-back.
 Verify strength of component.
 Calibrate strain gages or deflection
measurements prior to dynamic tests.
 May be used to assess equipment/ component
properties such as stiffness, frequency of
vibration, or damping.
80

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Test—Advantages
 Addresses many uncertainties that cannot be
modeled adequately.
 Reveals weaknesses or behavior that could not
be predicted by analysis.
 Provides the only means of confirming
functionality of equipment.
 Improves confidence in performance.

81

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Test—
Problems and Issues
 Result is binary (pass/ fail). Difficult to assess
margin available without testing to PL.
 Costly, and requires significant lead time.
 Impossible to instrument every component;
sometimes difficult to identify critical locations to
instrument.
 Shake table may be unable to achieve required
input motions without filtering.

82

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Analysis

 Static
 Static coefficient
 Dynamic

83

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Analysis—
Static Analysis
 Simplest type of analysis.
 Seismic loading defined as mass x specified
coefficient.
 Equipment typically is rigid, or exhibits single-
mode behavior.
 Past earthquake performance has been
favorable when using this method.
 Used for low to medium voltage, simple, or
historically rugged equipment.
84

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Analysis—
Static Coefficient Analysis
 Seismic loading defined as mass x peak of
the 2%-damped RRS x 1.5.
 Equipment typically is flexible, and may
exhibit multi-mode behavior.
 Used for low to medium voltage, relatively
simple equipment.

85

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Analysis—
Dynamic Analysis
 Seismic loading is defined by 2%-damped RRS, or
RRS-compatible time histories.
 Extract and include sufficient number of modes to
achieve 90% of effective modal mass.
 Use approved modal combination scheme such as
complete quadratic combination (CQC).
 Use 3-D analysis, with SRSS earthquake
component combination scheme.
 Used for medium voltage, complex, flexible, multi-
mode equipment.
86

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Analysis—
Comments and Cautions
 Many uncertainties in analysis. Quality of result is
dependent on analyst’s skill and judgment.
 Complex parts cannot be modeled without
substantial effort; result may be unreliable.
 Reliability of analysis is greatly improved with
limited testing to determine properties, and to
validate correctness of model behavior.
 Cannot verify functionality of equipment.
 Still a valuable tool; necessary to include some
analysis with almost every test.

Per applicable code
or specification
 φ = Resistance factor
 D = Dead load
 ERRS = Earthquake load from RRS
 OP = Operating load
* 33% increase in allowable stress is no
longer permitted

ultimate strength of porcelain.
 Composite insulators.
 Loads/ stresses ≤ 50% of specified mechanical
load (SML).
 Meet shed seal test.
 Meet test requirements in A.1.2.5, when
subjected to such test.
 Meet allowable deflection limits (A.2.1.b.1.iv)

93

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Acceptance Criteria Highlights
(Annex A.2.1.a thru A.2.1.i)
 Steel—Use capacities in AISC ASD or LRFD
specification.
 Aluminum
 ASD—Use capacities in ADM Part 1A for
“Bridge and similar structures.”
 LRFD—Requires calibration consistent with
ADM Part IIB.
 Oil-filled bushings—When qualified by test,
must be tested to PL with no oil leakage.

94

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Acceptance Criteria Highlights
(Annex A.2.1.a thru A.2.1.i)
 Components with complex geometry—Evaluate
using “Critical Variable” concept (also see A.3):
 Strain-gage the component in a location where
stresses are indicative of primary loading (strain is
critical variable).
 Perform shake table test of equipment at RRS level.
 Perform static test on component—Load in a manner
consistent with primary loading applied during
shaking. Magnitude of static loading must cause
critical variable (strain) = 2 x value measured in RRS
test.
 Component acceptable if no fracture or deformation
occurs that affects functionality of equipment.
95

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Example of Critical Variable
Concept (Annex A.2.1.i, A.3)

 Rotating bearing of support column of circuit


switcher is a complex mechanical part.

Rotating Bearing
97

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Example of Critical Variable
Concept
 Static Test Procedure
 Set up rotating bearing in
static test fixture.
 Apply bending moment to
bearing = 2 x RRS bending 2 x MRRS
moment in insulator above
(determined from insulator
strain gages in RRS test).
 Check operability of rotating
bearing, and visually
inspect for damage or
deformation.

98

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification by Group (Sect. 4.7)
 Equipment of the same type, having similar
characteristics may be grouped for the purpose
of seismic qualification.
 Successful qualification of the most vulnerable
member of group qualifies all members of group.
 Must have technical justification for:
 Selection of group members
 Selection of most vulnerable member.
 User must agree to grouping and selection of
most vulnerable member.
99

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Example—CCVTs Qualified by
Group
 500kV and 230kV units qualified by group.
 500kV CCVT uses 2 capacitors.
 230kV CCVT uses 1 capacitor, otherwise
identical to 500kV unit.
 Controlling failure mode is mechanical
strength of insulator.
 SDOF behavior expected; 500kV unit has
fundamental frequency 1.1 - 8Hz.
 500kV unit is most critical member of
group.
 500kV unit tested and passed, therefore,
group is qualified.

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Process—
Equipment Supports (Sect. 5.5)
 Support may significantly influence seismic
response of equipment.
 Best to qualify equipment on same support used
in service. Exceptions:
 Equipment will be used on a variety of supports.
 Supports too large to be included in test.
 Pre-qualified equipment will be installed on
existing support or other user-specified support.
 Support to be used is unknown at the time of
qualification.

101

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Process—
Equipment Supports (cont’d)
 Requirements for qualifying without support:
 Support characteristics known—Amplify input
motion to account for effects of support
structure (translation and rotation) x 1.1.
 Support characteristics unknown—Qualify
equipment with inputs amplified by 2.5 factor.
Supports used in installation must be designed
to have amplification factor ≤ 2.25 (considering
translation and rotation).

102

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Qualification Process—
Equipment Supports (cont’d)
 Equipment must be installed with support
used in the qualification
 Same support as used in the qualification.
 Dynamically equivalent or “better” supports
(i.e., supports that will cause the equipment to
have equal or lower response) than used in
qualification.

consistency for reports from different sources
 Seismic outline drawing—Provides summary of
key information on equipment characteristics,
method and level of qualification, and
anchorage design forces.

Installation Considerations

108

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Installation Considerations—
Interaction of connected equipment
 Equipment connected together will interact with
each other during earthquake.
 Believed to have caused equipment failures in past
earthquakes.
 Degree of interaction depends on the dynamic
characteristics of the individual equipment,
properties of the connecting element, and the
earthquake.
 Current recommended practice is to provide
flexible buswork with sufficient slack to uncouple
the connected equipment.
109

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Equipment Qualified as Stand
Alone, But Installed Connected

110

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Installation Considerations—
Interaction of connected equipment
 Determine displacement of each equipment
standing alone (i.e., unconnected).
 Combine displacements of two adjacent
connected equipment to obtain slack demand.
 Configure flexible buswork with sufficient slack
supplied. Recommended shapes shown in
Figure 5 of IEEE 693-2005.
 Refer to IEEE 1527 for detailed procedures for
designing flexible buswork.

Installation Considerations—
Anchorage (Sect. 5.8)
 Anchorage is often the single most cost-effective
means of improving seismic performance.
 Manufacturer is responsible for providing means
for anchoring the equipment, and demand forces
for design.
 Anchor system must withstand seismic and other
loads imposed on the equipment.
 Typical anchor systems
 Welded to embedded metal in the foundation.
 Anchor bolts.

118

IEEE Substation Committee May, 2011


Installation Considerations—
Anchorage
 Recommendations for anchorage
 Anchor bolts should be designed for ductile behavior,
i.e., concrete failure mode strengths > steel strength.
Anchor bolt materials should be ductile.
 Provide reinforcing steel for transfer of anchor bolt
forces if needed.
 Mechanical anchors (e.g., expansion type) are
discouraged. Undercut, or other anchors certified for
seismic loading are preferred.
 Welding to embedded metal in the foundation is
preferred for large equipment.
