1.2 General safety information

Adhere the following safety notes:

WARNING
High voltage/Electrical shock
Can result in serious injuries or death
à Don’t touch live parts of the electrical installation.
à Adhere also to safety markings on the equipment itself.

WARNING
WARNING
Hot surface of NP Cubicle (especially in the contact with enclosure or
busbar just after the shutdown the system)
Do not touch hot surface, Skin burns by touching hot parts.
à Before beginning to work on the NP Cubicle, make sure surface
temperature is below 40°C.

Intended use
à Do not operate the NP Cubicle beyond the intended use and the
intended operating conditions. Adhere to the performance data within
this O & M documentation set.
à Maintenance of the NP Cubicle must be done in accordance with this
O&M documentation set and according to state of the art technology.
à Rebuilding, alterations and additions must not be done without
agreement of C & S, especially if safety and functionality is concerned.
à Only use original spare parts or spare parts recommended by C & S.
à The NP Cubicle is designed for the intended power plant. Using the NP
Cubicle for another plant or another purpose shall only be done in
accordance with C & S.
In case of non-compliance with the requirements mentioned above C & S shall
not be responsible for insufficient functioning, system malfunction or other
damages. Any non-compliance will also void or abate C & S ‘s responsibility
under the warranty provisions.

2 GENERAL ARRANGEMENT
The Generator output / Neutral point cubicle (NPC) comprises of three phase
terminals and three neutral terminals with the star formation. It is also provided with
Current Transformer, Neutral grounding Resistor, Neutral Voltage Transformer,
Marshalling Box (Terminal box), Pamos® Sensor, flexibles, Seal off bushing and
insulator etc.

3 FUNCTION AND DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM

NPC is intended to house phase & neutral busbars that serve as interconnection
between the generator terminals and the isolated phase busduct. It also houses the
generator star point formation and necessary protection equipments like Current
Transformer, Neutral grounding Resistor, Neutral Voltage Transformer, Marshalling
Box (Terminal box), and Pamos® Sensor for Generator protection.
NPC is suitable to withstand short circuit force of 100kA(rms) for one second and
255kA (peak), This also suitable to impulse withstand voltage for 125kV(peak).

4 PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Generator output / Neutral Point Cubicle (NPC)is intended to house phase & neutral
busbars that serve as interconnection between the generator terminals and the
isolated phase busduct.
NPC is being a static electrical equipment, after commissioning this equipment and
connection between generator and Isolated phase busduct no operation required for
this equipment. Once generator will generate the power the power will go through
the NPC to Isolated phase busduct, transformer etc.
