Service Letter Database

Report:

Two members and one guest were in attendance

There have been no advisories received since the last meeting. There has been little interest by PSRC members in providing additional information for the relay service letter database.

Doble reports limited access of the existing facility supported by it’s web site... In an attempt to acquire additional information for the database, a plan has been devised, discussed with both the PSRC Chair and the I SC Chair…e.g.:

1. A list of key contacts at manufacturers is being developed. {The I SC and Main Committee will be requested to provide additional contact information during their Thursday meetings}.

2. By agreement with PSRC Chair: These senior contacts will be approached by formal, letter request over the signature of the PSRC Chair..in an attempt to elicit their participation, by supplying advisory notices for the PSRC membership, on its site.

3. Should there be little or no participation, I suggest the following:
** Disband I TF #1; retaining the existing database.
**Remove the existing historical database from Doble’s site.
**Provide a copy of the existing historical database to Russ Patterson for inclusion on the PSRC site, insuring the availability of this valuable information on electromechanical relays.

In conclusion, I believe the value of historical information on electromechanical relays cannot be overstated, since the vast majority of protection depends on their reliable service.
