TYPES OF COMMUNICATION USED IN PSTCL

There are four types of communication used in PSTCL. Each type of communication has different area of usage & application .The most commonly used communication is power line communicaton .This communication connects each station of PSTCL with other by power lines & the four types of communication used are:

MICRO WAVE COMMUNICATION VERY SMALL APERTURE TERMINAL COMMUNICATION WIRE LESS COMMUNICATION LAND LINE COMMUNICATION

DETAILS OF COMMUNICATION
MICROWAVE COMMUNICATION: This type of communication is much advanced & used preferably in whole of PSTCL . This type of communication not only connects the whole state but also the whole of north india with the offices of the board . The communication dependent upon anteena , receievers & transmitters . the microwave communication is very much faster than others & provide more facilities like no. of channels etc.

 VSAT ( VERY SMALL APERTURE TERMINAL ) :

This communication is not used so much in the organization because this type of communication is not so efficient as like microwave communication . In this type of communication there are small dish anteenas used to transmit the sig WIRELESS COMMUNICATION : This communication is used to connect those places where land line communication is not possible . The area where land line communication can not reach & also at those places which are far from sub stations , then wireless communication is used .

LAND LINE COMMUNICATION :

This communication is very versatile in PSTCL . In this stations are connected using power lines . The speech signal is sent in power lines therefore , it is called POWER LINE COMMUNICATION.

o GENERAL:
The power system of an organization like PSTCL comprising of power houses, high tension lins & sub station is so complex & extensive thet to control the same an equal large & complex telecommunication system of high reliability is required . The telecommunication system should provide the following facilities :

 TELEPHONE TELEPHONE SWITCHING TELE PROTECTION REMOTE CONTROL & INDICATION OF LOAD POWER FREQUENCY SYSTEM REMOTE ALARM INDICATIONS TELE METERING TELE PRINTING DATA TRANSMISSION For PSTCL , its own power line carrier (PLC) channels provide the tele communication syatem , about 300 houses & 220kva , 132 kv ,66 kv sub stations rae served bythe PLC system . A PLC channel consist of two PLC terminal at two stations A & B connected together with the help of high tension transmission lines & coupling devices like coupling capacitor , coupling devices , wave trape & high freq cable . Information for the above listed facilities is accepted by the PLC terminal & passed on to its counter part at remote station in the form of high frequency signals . The remote PLC terminal delievers the same in original form to local users or passes on the same to adjoining PLC Terminal to next station over the next line selector. Thus two PLC terminal at two station communicate with each other . PLC terminal use amplitude modulation with single side band (SSB) transmission . If F1/F2 are the frequencies of high frequency carrier used by the one PLC terminal for transmitting / receiver carrier signal then F2/F1 are used by opposite end PLC terminal for transmitting /receiving the same. In a PLC system F2 or F2 has to lie between the range from 30khz to 500 khz , the high

frequency of the station B . If F2 is the transmitting frequency of the station B then F2 the receiving frequency of the station & vice versa .

BASIC SIGNALS :
TELEPHONE SIGNALS :

The telephone transmitter (mouth piece ) of a telephone get convert the spoken audio speech into corresponding electric speech signals .These are random changing signals , characteristics of each individual signal changing electric signal can be said to be alternating current signals. Telephony signals in PLC channels cover a speech frequency band of 300 hz ti 2400 hz .This mouth piece of PLC ckt design to handle sine wave ac signals of frequencies between 300 hz to 2400 hz , will give equally good response to human speech signals . In other words the electronic ckt to handle speech signal are designed & tested with the help of signal generator of sine wave ac outputs of frequencies 300 hz to 2400 hz . This is speech fixed in PLC terminals . All speech characteristics are covered with in this band & person heard on PLC telephones is equally recognised . TELEPHONE SIGNALING :

This is the information available from switching equipments for the purpose of establishment interconnections between telephone sets in the PLC systems . a telephone subscriber or a station has to contact remote subscriber or ststions . This is done by dialing the no. of desired stations .The no. of information from the dial is converted in the form of earth & no earth pulses by the switching equipment.

This earth & no earth information is fed to PLC terminals A digit dialed form the telephone set causes earth pulses of the same no. on the s wire connecting equipment & the PLC terminal. The earth & :no earth conditiuon go to a signal oscillatpor ckt in the PLC terminal . The earth condition forces the signal oscillator to give a sine wave signal of frequency in our PLC terminal are 2700hz & 2580hz .The two frequencies produced differ by 60hz to give uf signal representing earth & no earth dial pulse from switching equipments. The response of PLC receiver & the dial pulse is just the opposite . each PLC terminal is equipped with a dial receiver ckt . The UF signals from remote station of this relay gives the earth &no earth pulses to local switching equipment. From the dial signal oscillator to the dial signal receiver is formed what is known as the dial channel between the two stations .Telephony signaling information received from switching equipment by the PLC terminal at station A as passed on to the switchingequipment by the PLC terminal at station B & vice versa.

TELEGRAPHY (TELEPRINTER ) SIGNAL :

Our teleprinter machine receives signal in the form of DC pulses . For each character of type writer , a unique set (or train) of DC pulses is generated . A DC pulse has two states i.e high or low.

BAND WIDTH OF PLC SIGNAL :

We have seen that a PLC terminal is required to transmit & receive signal which lie in the UF band as follows : TELEPHONY VFT CHANNELS : 300HZ TO 2400 HZ : 2880 + 60HZ TO 3600 + 60HZ

TELEPHONE SWITCHING : 2580 + 30 HZ

As per ISO 9482-1980 adopted in india for ssb PLC terminals , a nominal carrier frequency of 4 khz is provided in the PLC terminals whenever PLC terminals are required to transmit a telephony speech only (i.e no UFT signal the nominal carrier frequency band of 2.5khz.

AMPLITUDE MODULATION
The modern system of transmitting basic signal is with the help of a carrier signal of much higher frequency. The necessity of using a carrier signal can be easily understood I case of PLC .The UF freq of basic signal discussed above are very close topower freq 50hz exsisting on high terminal lines . It is not possible design filter ( combination of wave traps , coupling capacitor , tunning componenets etc) which will withstand high terminal power voltage & current& at the same time separate power current 50hz to4000hz . Basic signal must be transmitted to a much higher freq quite away from 50hz . I n communication , microwave , radar etc make use of carrier freq of hundered 7 thousand of mhz. In communication theory vital reason are also explained for the necessity of acrrier freq to transmit basic signal. For eg radio communication , tv communication , microwave , radar , etc, make use of of freq of thousands& hundreds of mhz .At carrier fe=req the requirement of send power , size of anteena . Power lines associated with many types of noises are not designed or ideal for communication purpose . However fully satisfactory PLC channels , using carrier freq in the range of 30 khz to 500 khz are now used. Basic signals are translated with carrier freq signals to obtain efficient & satisfactory transmission over the power line . The problem is how to add the basic audio (UF)signalto the carrier freq saignal or wave . Some characteristics of carrier wave is to be changed in accordance with the basic signal.

BANDWIDTH OF A.M.WAVE
The carrier freq Fe is many time greater than the signal freq Fs. Hence the side band freq are close to the carrier freq.

It is known that the bandwidth of amplitude modulated wave is twice the signal freq . The basic contained in the side band freq or rather fully in each of the side band .Therefore the PLC terminal design now is such that one side band & the carrier freq signalare suppressed & only the remaining side band is transmitted . This reduces the band with each requirement of each plc terminal & at the same time enable the entire transit power to be allotted to useful side band. This means more of carrier channels can be put on the adjoining line sections with in

the allocated carrier band (30 -500 khz).Without expecting interference between any two carrier freq.

Fig: Arrangement to produce amplitude and resultant side band

Supposing an audio tone of 1 khz is to modulate a carrier wave of freq 300khz. Then the resultant AM wave will contain high freq tone of freq 299 khz ,300 khz &301 khz . the resultant freq are so close to each other that it is impossible to design cheap filter to eliminate a pure sideband freq (299 or 301 khz)from the composite wave. Unwanted carrier & the other sideband will unnecessarily leak through the load to send the signal power available . Then there will be problem to the 1 khz audio signal from the side band in the process of demodulation which will have to provide a 100% original freq for demodulation .To overcome these difficulties . the modern PLC terminal design make use of two stage modulation (& of course demodulation ) In two stage modulation , the audio tone first modulation & intermodulation carrier freq signal of freq 12khz,16.45khz,20khz etc depending on the modulation . From this AM signal , one side band is selected for modulation , which is final HF carrier wave , the two side band in the HF stage only one side band of transmission.

FIG: Two stage modulation

POWER SUPPLY TO PLC TERMINALS

It is now standard sized that all PLC terminals should be suitable for connection to 48Vdc supply .Each PLC station is provided with a 48 V dc battery& the battery charger of required capacity . The battery & PLC load are connected to the charger .On the failure of ac mains , the load comes over to battery , which has capacituy to bear rated load for atleast 10 hours . But some of the transistorized ITI/SIEMENS & BPL/SIEMENS PLC terminal received in 1970-1972 where suitable for connection to 220 volt ac mains. These PLC were used at stations , where emergency power supply equipment comprising rotary converters were available . The rotary convertors are suitable for supplying 220 v ac from sub station 220v dc batteries .Thus in the event of ac mains failure , rotary convertors take over.

INPUT / OUTPUT TERMINALS OF PLC

PLC terminals are required to be connected to power supply . HF cable , switching equipments , telephone sets etc. For these purpose suitable terminal connections are provided in each PLC terminals. For connection to HF cable , HF connector terminal are provided at the base of terminals . For connections of ac or dc supply separate connector block is provided at the base .For all other connections a terminal block is provided with easy access . In modern PLC terminals (IC version ) the earth is available immediately on initiating a call at the valling station & on the maturity of a call at the called station.

STUDY OF BATTERY & BATTERY CHARGER

Batteries are used to provide alternate power supply in the absence of ac supply for atleast 10 hours & the batteries are charged with the help of battery charger . . The batteries are connected to rectifier (dc power supply). The batteries are placed in a dry , ventilated room in a lead case. Depending on the type of battery , their level is checked in terms of specific gravity.Batteries are maintained by the input of distilled water regularly .

INSTALLATION AND CHARGE INSTRUCTIONS UNPACKING : Care should be taken in the unpacking & subsequent handling
of cells & other componenets of the battery as they can be damaged due torough handling . Store the cells with the vent plugs .Power & vent cum float guide screwed on firmly & other acvessiories in a dry & dut free covered area.

BATTERY ROOM : The battery room should be well ventilated , clean & dry
.A damp room is dangerous due to possible earth leakage from the battery.

The battery will give the best results when working at room temperatures of 20 degree celcius to 35 degree celcius . I t will function satisfactory whe operating at temp between 20 deg cel to 50 deg cel . High temp inc the capacity but dec the life of the cells . Low temp reduce the capacity available but do no injury to the battery. STANDS & SUPPORTS:

Suitable stands should be provided for the support of the cell should be rranged so that each cell should be arranged so that each cell will be easily accessible for inspection . When special drawings have been made available showing the layout of the battery , they should be followed very carefully to ensure that connections fit properly.

 POWER REQUIREMENTS: A DC source capable of delivering the current as specified on the inside front cover will be required . The voltage neede will be 2 times the no. of cells in the battery. The initial charging of the battery will take approximately 55 of 90 hours. POLARITY OF CHARGING HEADS: It is of atmost important that the +ve terminal of the battery is connected to the +ve lead of the charging source. ACID The acid to be used in the battery for initial filling in battery garde sulphuric acid of specific gravity (290+.05) at 27 deg cel. If the acid is obtained in concentrated form , it is necessary to dilute it to 190 specific grade . The acid as well as the distilled water to be used for diluting the acid should confirm to standard institution specification IS 266-1977 & is 1069 -1964 respectively.

CAUTIONS:
VESSELS: When vessels of hard rubber, plastic , porecelain or lead lined MS tanks or wooden tanks to be used. Do not use metal vssels other than lead. PROTECTIVE WEAR: When working with acid or electrolyte always use protective goggles , rubber gloves & rubber apron. ACID SPLASHES: ON GARMENTS :Remove garment immediately , neutralize,spot with 5 to 10 % ammonia or soda solution & wash in water. On skin / eyes : Flush with large quantities of water. A 5 to 10 %solution of ammonia or soda should always be kept ready prior to operations .

NEVER ADD WATER TO ACID: Add the acid in the thin stream , slowly , stirring the acid solution with a long glass rod or tube.

TEMPERATURE CORRECTION :
The specific gravity of the electrolyte varies with temp .Any reading observed on the hydrometer should therefore be corrected to27 deg cel as all the specific gravity value indicated by us are at 27 deg cel. The correction should therefore be made as follows . For every 1 deg cel above 27 deg cel add 0 .00007 to the specific gravity as read on the hydrometer . Similarly, for every1 deg cel below 27 deg cel . Subtract 0.0007 from specific gravity as read from the hydrometer.

INSTALLATION :
The cell should stand on porecelain / plastic insulator which will be supplied with the cells of these insulators each with a lead disc on top should be inserted between the feet of the container & the satnd level the cell , if necessary by placing one or more of the lead disc between the insulators & the satnd. Arrange the cells to the +ve terminal of one cell adjoins the ve terminal plug of the next throughout the battery. Use a wooden spacer to ensure even spacing ot of cell.

CONNECT CELLS TOGETHER

When the cells are in position on the stands connect them together smear a little petroleum jelly on the threads , bolting faces & the bolt holes before bolting up.

After bolting up the cells smear petroleum jelly over the nut bolt head & washers.

INITIAL FILLING OF ELECTROLYTE

Sufficient quantity of of battery grade sulphuric acid & a littly to spare must be availableat the site for the initial filling of each cells . The sulphuric acid should be 1.190+.005 specific grade at 27 deg cel. The approximate quantity of the acid required per cell is given in the data sheet . The total quantity of acid required is obtained by multiplying the quantity per cell by the number of cells adding 10% to compensate for spillings. The cool pure sulphuric acid of 1.190specific grade should be carefully poured into the cells till the level of indicator in each cell rises to the maximum recommended level as indicator by lower white band of the float indicator , being just visible above the black fload guide . Replace the vent plugs on the cell but do not tighten level them loose.

PORTION OF CHARGING
FIRST PORTION : The first portion of the charge should be given at any rate between te starting / finishing currents given on the depending upon the output of the charge .

 SECOND PORTION: The second portion of the charge must be given at the finishing rate for a period of not less than 300 hours , till the sign of completion of charge are observed.

PILOT CELLS: As pilot cells select vany one cell ( except the end cell or regulated cell if any ) out of every 60 cells or part of them .

DURING CHARGE TAKE HOURLY READING

SPECIFIC GRAVITY: For some hours after filling in the cells the specific gravity will fall in spite of the fact that cells have already been on charge for some time . After the charging has been in progress for some time the specific gravity of the electrolyte will cease to fall & will commence rising slowly , finally reaching a steady value . It doesnot matter what the final specific gravity reading of the electrolyte is what is important in that it should reach the maximum value & reading must remain constant for 3 hours before the battery can be deemed fully charged.

VOLTAGE : As the charging continues the voltage like the specific gravity of the elaectrolyte will steadily increase to a final value of approx 2.75v per cell . The voltage must remain constant over 3 hours before the charging of the battery.

 TEMPERATURE : During charging of the electrolyte temp of the cells should not exceed 50 deg cel . Suspend charging if it exceeds & commence charging after battery has colled to about 45 deg cel . If necessary , slightly lower the recommended charging rate . Where ambient temp are normally high , it is recommended that charging be carried at during the night & suspend during the day . If necessary use the finishing rate for first portion of the charge.

OPERATION OF BATTERY CHARGER

1. It is important that the battery should be operated in accordance with the instruction given on the instruction card supplied . Make sure that the instruction card is hanged in a prominent & accessible location in the battery room. 2. It is strongly recommended that the batteries which are to be operated on the trikle . Charge be subjected to 2-3 cycles of charge & discharge the battery should that be put on trikle charge when in a fully charged condition . Adjust trikle charge to the required value indicated in the data on page next . After several years the trikly charge current may have to be raised ti the higher value to compensate the effect of ageing. The trikle value charge should be adjusted to give an optimum battery voltageof 2.25 -2.30v per cells.

COMPLITION OF CHARGE
When all the cells have been gassing freely & when the voltage & specific gravity of the pilot cell has been constant over 3 siccessive hourly readings , the cells can be deemed fully charged & the charging terminated.

ADJUST SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF EACH CELL

If at the end of the first charge the specific gravity of the electrolyte exceeds 1.205 withdraws some electrolyte & add pure water , continue the charge so that the water & acid mix thoroughly. If at the end of the of first charge the specific gravity of electrolyte below 1.195 after both vaoltage & specific gravity have remained constant over 3 consecutive hours withdraws some electrolyte & add acid of 1.350 to 1.400 specific gravity continuing the charge in the meantime.

FINAL READING/ RECORD BOOK

After correcting specific gravity & electrolyte levels , start a record book for the whole life of the battery . The first page should record the specific gravity readings of each cell & note thet levels & temperature of the pilot cells & not that levels were correct in each cell . Records details of periodical charges & discharges etc. A record book is supplied with each battery of 60 v & above , for smaller batteries than can be obtained at nominal charge . If one copy of the record sheet is sent periodically to the nearest office of the company free

technical advice will be given so that the battery is maintained in optimum condition. The first charge sheet supplied with the battery should be filled up with the reading during initial charge & returned tpo the company for comments.

PILOT SIGNALS
In order to monitor healthiness of PLC channels each terminals seeds a pilot signal to the opposite end of terminal . Failure of pilot signal is visually indicated as an alarm signal for the staff . In F-F terminals , pilot signal is transmitted at all times . PLC terminals is transmitted during telephony conversation only. In ITI / SIEMENS transistorized terminals 12khz IF signal is also sent along with the VF signals . This signal is act as a pilot signal . In other PLC terminals the telephony switching signal act as the pilot signal. Each PLC terminal contain a pilot fail alarm ckt containing relay. Under healthy working condition the presence of pilot signal is indicated by the operated condition of the relay . Failure of pilot signal will charge the state of the relay whose contacts are used to give the audio / video indicators. Therefore before the healthiness of speech signaling channels etc. is checked the healthiness of the pilot signal has to be checked first . The strength of pilot signal is receipt also indicate the transmission loss. The level of all other signal is measured relative to level of pilot signal. This automatic compresation is done by introducing variable gain . The metering unit onh PLC terminal measures dc voltage in volts & ac signal In db. This serves very good purpose in absence of standard level meter. A daily or weekly record of built in meter reading is kept in the PLC rooms for monitoring the healthiness of PLC terminal.
