We will now move on to Hi-Tech Manufacturing segment that comprises the Heavy Engineering and the Precision Engineering & Systems businesses. The receipt of a Shipbuilding order contributed to order inflow growth in the Precision Engineering & Systems business, whereas Heavy Engineering business order inflow is largely in line with that of the previous year. The order book of this segment at Rs 338 billion as of June '24. Our order prospects pipeline for the remaining nine months in this segment is around Rs 320 billion. Strong execution momentum drove revenues in the Precision Engineering & Systems business, whereas Heavy Engineering revenue was impacted due to a lower opening order book consequent upon order deferrals and jobs in the early stages. Coming to margins - Execution cost savings helps the margin improvement in the Precision Engineering & Systems business whereas Heavy Engineering margin benefits from a favourable job mix. Since we are on this Hi-Tech Manufacturing segment, I would once again like to reiterate that the Precision Engineering & System business does not manufacture any explosives nor ammunition of any kind including cluster ammunitions or anti-personal landmines or nuclear weapons or components for such of these munitions. The business also does not customize any delivery systems for such ammunitions #Hydrogen #Greenhydrogen #Capex #Privatecapex #Saveplanet #Gogreen #Design #FEED #EPC #EPCM #Basicengineering #PMC #CCUS #Carboncapture #Innovation #Planetearth #Greenfuture #Design #Privatecapex #Capex #Electrolysers #Nextgenelectrolysers #Saveearth # #Everydayisearthday #DesignEngineering  #Equipment #ProcessDesign #BasicEngineering #Contractors #Electrical #LTHT #Cables #Instrumentation #EHS #Pumps #Valves #Transformers #Substations #DetailedEngineering #oilandgas #Hydrocarbons #DesignEngineering  #ProcessDesign #BasicEngineering #Pumps #Valves #Transformers #Substations #DetailedEngineering #FEED  #oilindustry #petrochemicalindustry  #Refinery #Power #Water #Utilities #Infrastructure #Buildings #Defence #Waste #Hazardouswaste #Telecom

Integrating MMM, DCVG, and CIPS for Superior Pipeline Integrity In the pursuit of enhancing pipeline integrity, the integration of Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM), Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG), and Close Interval Potential Survey (CIPS) technologies offers a comprehensive approach to pipeline inspection. This unified strategy not only elevates the accuracy of diagnostics but also streamlines the inspection process, ensuring the safety and longevity of pipeline infrastructure. The Integrated Approach: Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM): MMM technology detects early signs of stress concentration and potential crack initiation in pipelines by analyzing alterations in the self-magnetic leakage fields of ferromagnetic materials. This early detection is crucial for preemptive maintenance strategies. Direct Current Voltage Gradient (DCVG): DCVG accurately locates and assesses coating defects by measuring voltage gradients in the soil around the pipeline. This method is essential for identifying areas susceptible to corrosion due to compromised protective coatings. Close Interval Potential Survey (CIPS): CIPS evaluates the effectiveness of cathodic protection systems by measuring pipe-to-soil potentials. This ensures comprehensive corrosion defense across the pipeline. Benefits of Integration: Comprehensive Analysis: Combining MMM, DCVG, and CIPS provides a real view of pipeline health, from detecting early stress indicators to evaluating external corrosion protection measures. Efficiency: This integrated approach reduces the need for multiple inspections, saving time and resources while minimizing operational disruptions. Informed Decision-Making: Enhanced diagnostic insights enable more accurate maintenance prioritization, ensuring resources are allocated effectively for repairs and preventive measures. Proactive Maintenance: Early detection and assessment facilitate proactive maintenance, extending pipeline lifespan and safeguarding against environmental hazards. Conclusion: The integration of MMM, DCVG, and CIPS technologies represents a significant advancement in pipeline integrity management. By offering a more detailed, efficient, and comprehensive assessment, this approach ensures the safety, reliability, and longevity of pipeline infrastructure. As we continue to embrace and integrate these advanced diagnostic tools, the future of pipeline maintenance looks promising, with improved capabilities to protect our assets and the environment. Stay updated on the latest in pipeline integrity technologies and innovations. #PipelineIntegrity #MMM #DCVG #CIPS #InnovationInInspection

For simplicity, we will first assume that all the relays in the specimen network are only simple Inverse Definite Minimum Time (IDMT) Overcurrent relays, with the standard IEC IDMT Characteristics. Please note that the process of relay coordination shall start from the down most stream protective relay and shall move upwards in steps. Hence, we will start with the down most-stream Circuit Breaker in the Network (i.e.) CB-5. 1.1 Analysing the Circuit Breaker 5 (CB-5) As can be seen from the single line diagram, CB-5 is connected to the LV (433V) Secondary of the 11kV/433V, 1000kVA Transformer. As the relay is an IDMT Overcurrent Relay, it shall primarily offer Overcurrent Protection to the Transformer. The full load rated current of the transformer at the 433V side is 1333A, say, 1400A. Thus, we may provide a 2000/5A, Cl. 5P10 Protection CT, in this CB-5. The IDMT Over Current Low Set (OCLS) Relay provided in this CB-5 shall be set to a Plug Setting (PS) of (1400/2000) = 0.70 (70%). The IDMT Curve selected is a Normally Inverse 3 Sec. Curve (NI 3). (Some Standards refer this as Standard Inverse Curve).

Testing as per AS/NZS 3000! AS/NZS 3000:2018 Clause 8.3.3.1 states that testing shall be carried out on parts of Electrical Installations designed to operate at low voltage. • Verification of Earth-Fault Loop Impedance [in accordance with Clause 8.3.9] • Operation of RCDs [in accordance with Clause 8.3.10] Note: Test Done With Supply Connected Using Metrel Meter. #Electrical #Compliance #MandatoryTests #ASNZS3000 #RCDs #EFLI
