COMMISSIONING OF CURRENT TRANSFORMERS POTENTIAL TRANSFORMERS

In Figure below, we are presented with a scenario where the push button S1 is pressed, initiating the energization of the bi-stable relay coil A1-A2. As a result of this energization, several changes occur within the relay’s contacts, contributing to the alteration of the circuit’s state. Firstly, the normally open contact 13-14 of the bi-stable relay changes its position from open to closed. This transition allows electrical current to flow through the contact, enabling the completion of a specific circuit or the activation of downstream components.

medium voltage breakers(ABB VD4) commissioning test 1)Contact resistant this test is implemented to measure the resistance of breaker's contacts to make sure that the resistances are not higher than the standard limited value. 2)Time test this test is implemented to measure the contacts action time during opening or closing and whether they act simultaneously or not. #vd4 #electric_test #meduim_voltage_breaker #powerplant #vebco #commissioning

How to ensure proper operation of substation components? Well, let’s say that substations play a pivotal role in the seamless and safe transmission of electrical power. Ensuring the proper operation of various components within substations is of paramount importance to both personnel safety and the integrity of the entire electrical system. To achieve this, substations are equipped with a comprehensive interlocking scheme, which is a critical safety measure in this high-voltage environment. How to ensure sequential operation for safety? The primary purpose of interlocking within substations is to enforce a specific sequence of operations. This sequence ensures that all disconnectors, fixed earthing switches, or other interlocked devices, and, when necessary, circuit breakers, are operated in the correct order.

SF6 gas is commonly used in electrical systems to detect and prevent electrical discharges. Here's how it works: _Detection of Electrical Discharges:_ 1. SF6 gas is used to fill electrical equipment, such as circuit breakers, transformers, and switchgear. 2. When an electrical discharge occurs, the SF6 gas is ionized, creating a conductive path. 3. The ionized gas triggers a sensor, which sends a signal to a control system. 4. The control system then takes action to prevent further electrical discharges. _Prevention of Electrical Discharges:_ 1. SF6 gas is used to extinguish electrical arcs and prevent re-ignition. 2. The gas is injected into the electrical equipment to displace oxygen and prevent combustion. 3. The SF6 gas also helps to cool the electrical equipment, reducing the risk of overheating and electrical discharges. _Electrical Equipment Using SF6:_ 1. Circuit breakers 2. Transformers 3. Switchgear 4. Gas-insulated substations (GIS) 5. Gas-insulated transmission lines (GIL) SF6 gas plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of electrical systems.

In power plants and substations, SF6 (Sulfur Hexafluoride) gas plays a crucial role in preventing electrical arcs and ensuring safe, reliable operation of circuit breakers and other equipment. But why might fire or heat be involved in SF6 chambers during 'maintenance or testing?' 🤔 Here’s the key: SF6 is an excellent insulator and arc-quenching medium, capable of absorbing the heat generated by electrical faults. However, in certain testing scenarios, controlled heat or simulated fire conditions are used to: 1. Test Arc Quenching: Ensure SF6’s ability to extinguish electrical arcs effectively during fault conditions. 2. Maintain Gas Integrity: Safely remove moisture and impurities from SF6 gas, preserving its performance. 3. Simulate Extreme Fault Conditions: Confirm that equipment can withstand high temperatures and handle potential electrical faults without risk. ⚠️ Please note that any use of fire or heat in these chambers is part of "strictly controlled processes" to test, maintain, and ensure the safety of electrical systems. #PowerPlants #ElectricalSafety #SF6 #CircuitBreakers #ArcQuenching #PowerGrid #ElectricalEngineering #Energy
