Gen Circuit Breaker Testing Schedules

This document outlines the testing schedule for a generator circuit breaker at the NTPC Simhadri power plant. It details the objectives of testing to ensure stability under short circuit conditions. There are two proposed modes of testing - dead circuit mode to check insulation and contact resistance, and live mode to verify withstanding capacity when drawing full load current. Required services, safety precautions, emergency procedures, commissioning steps and completion criteria are provided to ensure proper testing and commissioning of the generator circuit breaker.

PLANT AREA : ELECTRICAL SYSTEM


TESTING SCHEDULE : GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER

1. PLANT DETAILS

THIS SYSTEM CONSISTS OF I) A CIRCUIT BREAKER


COMPRISED OF 3 POLES WITH A COOLING SYSTEM,EARTHING
SWITCHES, CONTROL PANEL,PNEUMATIC CUBICLE & RELAY
AND II) THE COMPRESSOR AIR PLANT COMPRISING A
PLATE HOLDING 2 COMPRESSORS AND THE COMPRESSOR
CONTROL CABINET , A HIGH PRESSURE STORAGE PLATE
WITH 1 STORAGE SPHERE, AN AUTOMATIC BLEEDING
CABINET AND A PRESSURE REDUCING PANEL.
NAME PLATE DETAILS
MAKE: ALSTOM
TYPE : PKG2V
VOLTAGE : 24 KV
CURRENT: 19 000 A
FREQ: 50 Hz WEIGHT : 15 000
KG.
2. TESTING OBJECTIVE
TO TEST THE STABILITY OF BREAKER UNDER THE FOLLOWING
CONDITIONS
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)

INTERRUPTION OF SHORT CIRCUIT OF BUSBAR OR TRANSFORMER


CLOSING ON SHORT CIRCUIT
WITHSTAND TO GROUND
ISOLATION FROM GRID OR GENERATOR

3.PROPOSAL
THERE ARE TWO MODES ON WHICH GCB CAN BE CLOSED
I
DEAD CIRCUIT MODE
WHEN NEITHER GENERATOR NOR GRID SUPPLY IS AVAILABLE,GCB
CAN BE CLOSED AND TESTED. INSULATION RESISTANCE,CONTACT
RESISTANCE OF EACH POLE IS MEASURED . CLOSING ,OPENING TIME
OF BREAKER IS MEASURED. HEALTHINESS OF EARTH SWITCHES &
SEQUENCES OF CLOSING AND OPENING ARE VERIFIED.
II

LIVE MODE
WHEN GENERATOR IS READY FOR SYNCHRONISATION AFTER ITS
OCC,SCC TESTS,GCB CAN BE CLOSED AND FULL LOAD CURRENT MAY BE
DRAWN THROUGH GCB. BY INCREASING THE VOLTAGE AND CURRENT,
ABOUT 8-10% ,OVERLOADING OF GENERATOR AND WITHSTANDING OF
GCB CAN BE CHECKED. ALL PROTECTIONS ARE INCLUDED AND
CHECKED FOR WITHSTANDING CAPACITY OF GCB.

BE CLOSED AT THE EARLIEST. CO2 WILL BE RELEASED ON FIRE
DETECTION.
7. STATE OF THE PLANT
AFTER THE ERECTION OF GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER, DEAD
CIRCUIT TESTS MUST BE CARRIED OUT. HEALTHINESS OF EACH POLE
MUST BE ENSURED BEFORE EXCITING GENERATOR.HYDRAULIC OIL TO
BE FILLED IN THE OIL TANK. COMPRESSOR PLANT IS TO BE CHECKED
WHETHER THE OUTPUT OF THAT COMPRESSOR DEVELOPS REQUIRED
PRESSURE OF AIR. CONTROL SUPPLY & MOTOR AUX SUPPLY TO BE
MADE READY. FIRE DETECTION SYSTEM TO BE COMMISSIONED
8. COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE
PHASE SEQUENCE OF GENERATOR,GRID AND GCB SHOULD BE
MATCHED AND IN POSITIVE/FORWARD PHASE SEQUENCE.
9. COMPLETION CRETERIA
GENERATOR CIRCUIT IS CAPABLE OF WITHSTANDING FULL LOAD
WITH PERMISSIBLE VARIATION OF ITS PARAMETERS LIKE HYDRAULIC
OIL PRESSURE DISCHARGE AND COMPRESSED AIR PRESSURE
DISCHARGE.
