PLANT AREA : ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

TESTING SCHEDULE : GENERATOR TRANSFORMER BACKCHARGING

1. PLANT DETAILS

THIS SYSTEM CONSISTS OF 3 Nos (ONE FOR EACH

PHASE) OF 120/160/200 MVA, SINGLE
PHASE,420/1.732/21 KV,Ynd11,50 HZ TRANSFORMERS, AND
GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER
2. TESTING OBJECTIVE
TO BACKCHARGE THE GENERATOR TRANSFORMERS AND CHECK THE
PHASE SEQUENCE AND SYNCHRONISATION CIRCUIT OF THE GENERATOR
3.PROPOSAL
THE FOLLOWING TESTS MUST BE CARRIED OUT IN GENERATOR &
UNIT TRANSFORMERS ARE
I)
INSULATION RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
II) WINDING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
III) MAGNETIC CORE BALANCE TEST
IV) VECTOR GROUP TEST
V)
STABILITY TEST
VI) TAN DELTA TEST
VI) OPEN & SHORT CIRCUIT TEST (IF POSSIBLE)
THE PHASE TERMINALS CONNECTING GENERATOR AND GCB
THROUGH PT CIRCUIT ARE TO BE REMOVED SO THAT GT,GCB AND PT
CIRCUITS WILL COME IN THE TESTING CIRCUIT AND GENERATOR WILL BE
EXCLUDED.
4.SERVICES REQUIRED
5 KV INSULATION TESTER, 3 PHASE 415 AC 5O Hz SYSTEM,HI
POT AC/DC SOURCE,MEASUREMENT KIT
5.0 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
I)
FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEMS READINESS
II) GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER AREA IS TO BE FENCED AND
LOCKED FOR PREVENTING THE INVASION OF TRESSPASSERS.
III) GENERATOR TRANSFORMER,CIRCUIT BREAKER CHARGED /DANGER
400/21 KV CAUTION BOARD TO BE FIT
IV) MEN & MATERIALS TO BE KEPT AWAY FROM GENRATOR CIRCUIT
BREAKER AREA
6. EMERGENCY PROCEDURE
POWER SUPPLY SHOULD BE ISOLATED EITHER FROM SWITCHYARD OR
FROM PLANT CONTROL ROOM

PLANT AREA : ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

TESTING SCHEDULE : GENERATOR TRANSFORMER BACKCHARGING

AFTER THE ERECTION OF GENERATOR TRANSFORMER & GCB,THE

AREA IS TO BE CLEANED & WELL FENCED WITH A LOCKED
DOOR.PHYSICAL INSPECTION ON TRANSFORMERS & BUSDUCT MUST BE
CARRIED OUT. ANY CRACK/DEFECT NOTIFIED MUST BE CORRECTED
BEFORE TESTING & CHARGING.
8. COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
BUSHING CTs,HV & LV LINE PTs & CTs ARE TO BE TESTED AT
FIRST. THEN TRANSFORMER & GCB ARE TO BE TESTED. POWER &
CONTROL CIRCUIT OF THE WHOLE SYSTEM TO BE CHECKED. THE
FOLLOWING PROTECTIONS ARE NORMALLY INCLUDED FROM LOCAL.

3.GENERATOR TRANSFORMER TO BE CHARGED AND GENERATOR CIRCUIT
BREAKER TO BE CLOSED IN DEAD BUS CIRCUIT MODE. WHILE
CHECKING VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE GCB IN
THE SECONDARY CIRCUIT,BOTH SHOULD MATCH EXACTLY AND
GENERATOR SYNC RELAY (25S) TO BE PICKED UP FOR PERMISSION TO
CLOSE GENERATOR.
9. COMPLETION CRETERIA
TRANSFORMER & GCB ARE CHARGED. VOLTAGE SUPPLY (21KV)
EXTENDED UPTO GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER BOTH ENDS & 21 KV
GENERATOR SYNCHRONISATION CIRCUIT IS MADE OK. NOW THE SYSTEM
IS READY FOR SYNCHRONISATION.
