TRANSFORMERS
From the stage of generation to the stage of transmission
(400kv lines) a series of transformers are involved.
WINDING TEMPERATURE
INDICATOR(WTI)
Since Transformer winding temperature measurement
cannot be made direct methods due to insulation
problems.The setup consists of (a)current transformer (b)
Winding temperature indicator or a RTD sensor (c)shunt
resistance box (d) remote winding temperature indicator and
(e) a power supply unit.
The RTD sensor is placed in the an oil filled packet on the
transformer on the tank cover. Inside is placed a heating
resistance which is fed current proportional to that of the
loaded winding of the transformer through a current
transformer. Thus the temperature increase of the heating
resistance is proportional to that of the winding.The winding
temperature indicator is located in the zone of the hottest oil
in this way the transmitter measures the hot spot
temperature
2. AIR BREATHER
A dehydrating breather is used to dry the air that enters a
transformer as the volume if oil decreases because of the fall
in temperature. Air entering the breather is first drawn through
an oil seal and passes upwards through the silicagel crystals
to the connecting pipes at the top. During this upward passing
of air any moisture present is absorbed by the silicagel. The
oil seal ensures that the gel absorbs moisture only when the
transformer is breathing.
5. BUSHINGS
The types of bushings in the transformer are HV, LV, IV and
neutral type.The general construction consists of an Oil
Impregnated Paper(O.I.P) condenser core manufactured from
kraft paper wound in a brass tube. Thus the electrical stresses
are controlled throughout the thickness and along the
surface.The insulation is measured by the tan delta test.

GENERATOR TRANSFORMER
PROTECTION RELAYS
Here is a brief summary of the protective relays that are
implemented in the protection of the generator transformer.
These relays are controlled from their respective turbine
control rooms.
1.PHASE INVERSE OVERCURRENT PROTECTION: The
single phase over current time protection relay is used as a
short circuit protection for the detection earth faults in solidly
and low ohmically earthed networks.
2.SOLID STATE DIFFERENTIAL PROTECTION: The
generator differential protection relay is a sensitive
comparison protection providing selective clearance of short
circuit within the protected zone which is defined by 2 current
transformer sets. It detects all 1,2, and 3 phase s.c. faults
and double earth faults.
DG SET
The use of a D G set is to providing startup power during a
power black out resulting in the shutdown of the whole plant.
Black start Diesel Generator is capable of supplying startup
power for one Gas Turbine.DG Set is always kept in prelubricated condition. At any time through pre Lubricated Pump
on failure of supply this Pump stops.DG start with air motor.
Prior to start of air motor air operated Lubricating Oil Pump
starts & ensure proper lubrication to all bearings.DG Set takes
15 seconds from initiations of start signal.Gas Turbine takes 6
minutes for synchronisation from start command of Gas
Turbine.
THE SWITCHYARD
The switchyard consists of an arrangement of circuit breakers,
isolators, current transformers, capacitive voltage transformers,
lightning arrestors, bus bar arrangement and bay arrangements.
The 220KV gas switchyard has the following equipment :
1. Circuit breaker type SF6
2. Isolator without earth switch staggered type 1600A
3. Isolator with two earth switch 1250 A
4. Isolator with two earth switch 2500A
5. Isolator without earth switch staggered type 1250A
6. Isolator with one earth switch 1600A
7. Isolator with two earth switch 1600A
8. Isolator with one earth switch 1250A
9. Current transformer

ISOLATORS
The isolators are used to remove the excess voltage
remaining on the bus and bays after the operating of a circuit
breaker. The type is rotating centre post type . The following
interlocks are provided with the isolator:
1. Isolator cannot operate unless the breaker is open
2. Bus 1 and 2 cannot operate simultaneously
CURRENT TRANSFORMER
The current transformer is placed for measuring current and for
differential protection of the transformers. They have highest
system temperature of 945 with rated primary current of
1600A. The extended thermal current rating of the CTs are
2400A, and insulation level of 460/1050.
LIGHTENING ARRESTORS
Lightening Arrestors are a protection against surge and in
case of lightening strikes. They provide much needed
protection against surges to transformers and other
equipment. The type of LA are ZnO type . It consists of 3
enclosures of ZnO each capable of bearing a voltage of
73KV. In case of higher voltages in the line , are allowed to
pass through the LA into the ground. LA consists of a strike
counter and an ammeter to measure normal conditions.
INFRARED THERMOGRAPHY
It is a technique for producing an image of invisible (to our
eyes) infrared light emitted by objects due to their thermal
condition. Thermography cameras can actually measure the
temperatures of an object and produce images that make
interpretation of thermal patterns easier.
METHOD OF MAINTENANCE
All the points which are generating hot spots (ie high temperature)
or dangerous temperature zones are taken for maintenance
depending upon availability of permit to work. If the point is in
danger zone immediately shutdown is taken for repair. If the
temperature of the equipment are not too much then periodically
check the temperature of that particular point and if it remains in
safe region then this point is attended in the next coming
shutdown ,mean while the required materials are arranged.
HVDC TRANSMISSION
HVDC Transmission is a low loss mode of transmission used to
transmit power at very high voltages of +/-500KV.A HVDC line
runs from Rihand to Dadari with capacity of 1500MW. The
transmission loss is about 3% as compared to 8% in AC
transmission. Another advantage of HVDC is that it can be used
to transmit power both ways. The conversion from DC/AC is
done by using 12 step Thyristors. The power transfer can be
changed by changing the firing angle which is another
advantage of HVDC. An inverter is stationed at Dadri which can
be used as a converter as well . The power after conversion to
AC is transmitted from the combined switchyard which is the
largest in Asia having a capacity of 4500MW. There are 4 HVDC
lines in India , all are maintained by the Power Grid Corporation
of India.
