    Unit-2 Tripping 28 - 03 - 2009

    Uploaded by

    The unit tripped due to very low condenser vacuum after the 'B' phase of a CT at the generator circuit breaker burst, tripping the station transformer. This caused the instantaneous and service air compressors to trip, lowering the air pressure and closing the TAS-5 valve. This dropped the ejector pressure and triggered the vacuum protection. Short term preventive action involves fitting an air lock relay to the TAS-5 valve to prevent closure during a loss of air supply. The unit was restarted after repairs to fans and pump leakages during an extended shutdown.

    EVENT

    ANALYSIS

    UNIT NO : 2
    1. Event No. 6 /
    2009

    REPORT

    CSTPS

    4 X 210 MW & 3 X 500 MW

    Time 3:10 hrs.

    Date

    28/03/09

    2. Operating conditions at the time of Event :


    Load

    Coal Cycles in service

    Oil Support

    173

    A,C,D,E,F

    Nil

    3. Nature of Event: Set tripped on Condenser Vacuum very low protection


    4. Last Tripping: Re-heater tube leakage

    Time

    Date: 11/11/2008

    10:56hrs
    5.Similar event occurred last time

    UNIT NO :1

    Time:10:55 Hrs

    Date: 14/05/2008

    Remedial action: Drip line replaced


    6. Observations: Set tripped on vacuum very low. Following indications /relays operated. 1. TLR
    operated. 2.GCB tripped. 3.MFT operated. 4 Inst Air compressor- A tripped. 5.Master trip relay 80GT
    operated. 5.Generator main breaker tripped.
    7.Remedial action. Shutdown extended to carry out both ID Fans repairing & balancing & CW-4
    pump discharge line leakages & to attend other shutdown defects as unit was continuously
    running for 133 days since 14/11/08.
    8. Root cause analysis in details: TBC CT B phase at GCR Burst resulting in Bus bar differential
    protection and tripping of station transformer No 1. Due to tripping of station transformer supply inst
    & service air compressors tripped & hence Air pressure became low resulting in closing of TAS-5 valve,
    because of this ejector pressure became low & set tripped on vacuum very low
    9. Preventive action suggested :
    Short term Air lock relay will be fitted to TAS-5 in next shutdown so that in case of air supply failure valve
    will got lock in same position.

    10. Preventive action suggested :


    Long term - Nil
    11. Boiler lighted up

    Time: 00:30 hrs
