Procedure for normalization of power after Station black out

1. Please contact POLY Electrical (2872), for checking the status of PLN, 70 KV Incomers
(ABB, Compton incomers) at Poly and IRS breaker at PLN- IRS.
2. If the IRS breaker at PLN IRS was in open condition, the same need to be closed first with
the help of PLN.
3. Then we have to close the 70 KV breakers (ABB, Compton Incomers) at IRS with the help of
POLY Electrical team. (70 KV breakers cannot be operated from CPP)
4. To avoid high inrush current and overloading of transformers open the following breakers
before charging 20 KV PLN Incomer breakers:
1. 20 KV breakers at both ends of NO 1 CPP-POLY Tie feeder.
2. 20 KV breakers at both ends of NO 2 CPP POLY Tie feeder.
5. 20 KV PLN Incomer breakers can be closed either from POLY or from CPP.
6. If from CPP, the same need to be done from Synchronizing panel.
7. Before closing the breaker, please inform the concerned persons in POLY. Please follow the
steps below for closing the breaker:
1. Switch ON the two pole MCB in the synchronization panel.
2. Ensure the selector switches are in the following position:
1. Local/Remote selector switch in Local mode.
2. Auto/Manual selector switch in Manual mode.

3. Novoltage/Synchro switch in No voltage mode.

3. Select the point either 9 or 10 depending on the breaker need to be closed (PLN breaker I
or II) in the synchro switch device. The point list is available in the panel itself.
4. Then press OK button.
5. Then press the Red push button available in the synchronizing panel for closing the
breaker.
8. Based on the condition and requirement, the second breaker can be closed immediately or
later. Please follow the steps below for closing the breaker:
1. Switch ON the two pole MCB in the synchronization panel.
2. Ensure the selector switches are in the following position:
1. Local/Remote selector switch in Local mode.
2. Auto/Manual selector switch in Manual mode.
3. Novoltage/Synchro switch in Synchro mode.
3. Select the point either 9 or 10 depending on the breaker need to be closed (PLN breaker I
or II) in the synchro switch device. The point list is available in the panel itself.
4. Then press OK button.
5. Then press the Red push button available in the synchronizing panel for closing the
breaker.
9. Close the 20 KV breakers at POLY end of the POLY CPP tie feeders (Both or any one
based on condition and requirement.)
10. Then close the second breaker at POLY end.
11. Before closing the 20 KV breakers at CPP end of the POLY CPP tie feeders open the
following breakers to avoid high inrush current and overloading of transformers:
1. 20 KV and 6.3 KV breakers of HT Aux. Transformers 1 and 2.
2. 20 KV and 6.3 KV breakers of Tie Transformers 1 and 2.
12. Close the 20 KV breaker at CPP end of one of the CPP POLY tie feeders from the
synchronizing panel: Please follow the steps below for closing the breaker:
1. Switch ON the two pole MCB in the synchronization panel.
2. Ensure the selector switches are in the following position:
1. Local/Remote selector switch in Local mode.
2. Auto/Manual selector switch in Manual mode.
3. Novoltage/Synchro switch in No voltage mode. (However ensure that the 20 KV
CPP bus is dead)

3. Select the point either 6 or 7 depending on the breaker need to be closed (No 1 or No 2
feeder) in the synchro switch device. The point list is available in the panel itself.
4. Then press OK button.
5. Then press the Red push button available in the synchronizing panel for closing the
breaker.
13. Then close the 20 KV breaker at CPP end of the CPP POLY tie feeder from the
synchronizing panel with the following steps:
1. Switch ON the two pole MCB in the synchronization panel.
2. Ensure the selector switches are in the following position:
1. Local/Remote selector switch in Local mode.
2. Auto/Manual selector switch in Manual mode.
3. Novoltage/Synchro switch in Synchro mode. (However ensure that the 20 KV CPP
bus coupler in closed condition.)
3.

Select the point either 6 or 7 depending on the breaker need to be closed (No 1 or No 2
feeder) in the synchro switch device. The point list is available in the panel itself.

4. Then press OK button.

5. Then press the Red push button available in the synchronizing panel for closing the
breaker.
14. Close the 20 KV breakers of HT. Aux transformers 1, 2 based on condition and requirement.
15. To avoid high inrush current and overloading of the transformers ensure that the 6.3 KV HT
equipment breakers are opened before closing the HT Aux transformers 6.3 KV breakers.
16. Then close the 6.3 KV breakers of HT Aux transformers based on condition and requirement.
Now power is available for the 6.3 KV switchgear. HT equipment can be started now.
17. Close the 6.3 KV breaker of LV Aux Transformers 1,2,3,4, ESP transformers 1,2, Water
system transformers 1,2 and Water Intake transformers 1,2 based on requirement.
18. Check the status of the LT breakers of all the transformers. In case they are in open condition
close the same to energize all 380 V switchgears.
19. Check the status of the bus couplers of 6.3 KV Switchgear and all 380V switchgears. If both
Incomers are available and the bus couplers are in closed condition, open the same to avoid
paralleling of HT Aux transformers and LV transformers.
20. In coordination with POLY charge Tie transformers. 20 KV breakers need to be closed from
the synchronizing panel.
21. If power is not available from PLN than start DG Caterpilar 3516B as per SOP
