The following non-totally enclosed PCB activities are authorized pursuant to section 6(e)(2)(B) of TSCA:
If test results show the PCB concentration (ppm) in the transformer prior to retrofill is . . . | and you retrofill the transformer with dielectric fluid containing . . . | and you . . . | and test results show the PCB concentration (ppm) after retrofill is . . . | then the transformer's reclassified status is. . . |
[GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]1,000 (or untested) | < 50 ppm PCBs | operate the transformer electrically under loaded conditions for at least 90-continuous days after retrofill, then test the fluid for PCBs | [GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]50 but < 500 | PCB-contaminated |
< 50 ppm PCBs | operate the transformer electrically under loaded conditions for at least 90-continuous days after retrofill, then test the fluid for PCBs | <50 | non-PCB | |
[GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]500 but <1,000 | <50 ppm PCBs | test the fluid for PCBs at least 90 days after retrofill | [GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]50 but <500 | PCB-contaminated |
<50 ppm PCBs | test the fluid for PCBs at least 90 days after retrofill | <50 | non-PCB | |
[GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]50 but <500 | [GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]2 but <50 ppm PCBs | test the fluid for PCBs at least 90 days after retrofill | <50 | non-PCB |
<2 ppm PCBs | (no need to test) | (not applicable) | non-PCB |
If test results show the PCB concentration (ppm) in the equipment prior to retrofill is . . . | and you retrofill the equipment with dielectric fluid containing . . . | and you . . . | and test results show the PCB concentration (ppm) after retrofill is . . . | then the electromagnet, switch, or voltage regulator's reclassified status is . . . |
[GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]1,000 (or untested) | <50 ppm PCBs | operate the equipment electrically under loaded conditions for at least 90-continuous days after retrofill, then test the fluid for PCBs | [GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]50 but <500 | PCB-contaminated |
<50 ppm PCBs | operate the equipment electrically under loaded conditions for at least 90-continuous days after retrofill, then test the fluid for PCBs | <50 | non-PCB | |
[GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]500 but <1,000 | <50 ppm PCBs | test the fluid for PCBs at least 90 days after retrofill | [GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]50 but <500 | PCB-contaminated |
<50 ppm PCBs | test the fluid for PCBs at least 90 days after retrofill | <50 | non-PCB | |
[GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]50 but <500 | [GREATER THAN EQUAL TO]2 but <50 ppm PCBs | test the fluid for PCBs at least 90 days after retrofill | <50 | non-PCB |
