Background Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) allows the mine operator or representative of miners to file a petition to modify the application of any mandatory safety standard to a coal or other mine if the Secretary of Labor determines that: 1. An alternative method of achieving the result of such standard exists which will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection afforded the miners of such mine by such standard; or 2. The application of such standard to such mine will result in a diminution of safety to the miners in such mine. In addition, sections 44.10 and 44.11 of 30 CFR establish the requirements for filing petitions for modification. II. Petition for Modification Docket Number: M–2023–012–C. Petitioner: Warrior Met Coal Mining, LLC, 16243 Highway 216, Brookwood, Alabama 35444. Mine: No. 4 Mine, MSHA ID No. 01– 01247, located in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama. No. 7 Mine, MINE ID No. 01– 01401, located in Jefferson County, Alabama. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.900, Low- and medium-voltage circuits serving three-phase alternating current equipment; circuit breakers. Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of 30 CFR 75.900 to permit use of a contactor or a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) in series with the circuit breaker, in lieu of a circuit breaker alone. The petitioner states that: (a) The mine uses continuous mining machinery and longwall mining machinery, (b) Miners have been injured setting a circuit breaker which creates a phase-tophase fault resulting in an arc flash. (c) The alternative method places the contactor or VFD between the circuit breaker and load, minimizing the possibility of closing into a fault. The use of a vacuum contactor to clear a fault has no arc flash when the fault is cleared. (d) A VFD will control or limit the inrush current to the connected load as compared to starting across the line. This provides less stress on the electrical system and allows the operator to set the instantaneous trip on the circuit breaker at lower than the maximum allowed setting. (e) The petitioner currently uses a combination of a circuit breaker and a contactor on continuous mining machine sections to power up PO 00000 Frm 00048 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 continuous mining machines, roof bolters, feeders, ventilation fans, and chargers. (f) The petitioner currently uses a circuit breaker and VFD combination out-by on conveyor belt systems. (g) The combination of circuit breakers with a contactor or VFD will provide short circuit, undervoltage, grounded phase, and overcurrent protection. The petitioner proposes the following alternative method: (a) The petitioner shall use a contactor in series with a circuit breaker instead of a circuit breaker alone. The contactor shall provide protection from undervoltage and grounded phase. The circuit breaker shall provide short circuit protection and overcurrent protection (when applicable). (1) Contactors shall be rated for the maximum voltage of the circuit being protected. (2) Contactors shall be rated for the continuous full load current of the equipment. (3) The nominal voltage of the power circuits(s) shall not exceed 995 volts. (4) The nominal voltage of the control circuit(s) shall not exceed 120 volts. (5) Contactors and associated protective relays shall provide undervoltage protection causing the contactor to open when an undervoltage exists. (6) Undervoltage protection shall be provided in two ways: (i) If the supply voltage to the ground monitor drops below 68 percent, the ground monitor will trip, dropping out the GMAUX relay and thereby removing power from the vacuum contactor coil, thus opening the contactor. The ground monitor trip will be a latching fault that requires a manual reset; and (ii) In the alternative, undervoltage protection will be provided by contactors that will drop out at 50 and 60 percent of supply voltage. (7) Grounded phase protection shall be provided using a ground fault relay. When the relay trips on a ground fault condition, the contact tips shall open removing power to the vacuum contactor coil that shall open the contactor. The ground fault relay shall be a latching fault that will require a manual reset. (8) Contactors shall be located in the same main enclosure as the circuit breaker. (9) Each circuit breaker installed in series with a contactor shall be equipped with devices to provide shortcircuit protection for each piece of equipment. (10) Ground fault and ground monitor trips shall not automatically reset and E:\FR\FM\16OCN1.SGM 16OCN1
