FINAL INCIDENT INVESTIGATION REPORT

01 Executive Summary:

Total of 7 D.Gs (3 x 113KVA rating, 1 x 250KVA, 1 x 513KVA, 1 x 635KVA & 1 x 625KVA

rating) had been installed on 05/September/2020 at Camp-5 Area to provide
temporarily power supply during the shutdown to the affected customers associated
with existing transformers 5SXF303-1,-2,-3 &-4 and 5SXF304-1,-2,-3 ,-4,-5 & -6 which
were intended for the replacement of old 2KA08/KB08 Sub-Loop cable under existing
Outline Agreement # 7300012205 with P.O.# 7500018803 (D.O.# U205).

02 Introduction:

The cable replacement in Camp-4 & 5 requires D.G. Sets to provide temporary power
supply for the affected residential customers, the aforesaid D.G. Set Cater Pillar
Brand & F.G Wilson with 513KVA & 635 KVA were rented by STICCO from MJI supplier
associated with 5SXF303-3 & 5SXF304-2 respectively.
03 Incident Description:

Detailed description of scene/location:

1) The D.G. Set (513KVA) associated with existing transformer 5SXF303-3 (250KVA)
was stopped at around 04:00 pm (06-Sept-2020) resulting power interruption in
camp-5 residential customers. The temporary power supply was restored back
at around 4:30 pm on the same day after replacement of faulty D.G set.
Given Below are the detail of affected D.G set:
 Capacity – 513 KVA
 S.no - OLY000 00 PRNS07360
 Model – GEH 275.
 Make – CAT.
 Year Model: 2012

2) The D.G. Set (167 KVA) associated with 5SXF304-2 was stopped two time
a) First time at around 7:20 am result in interruption of supply and restored
back at 8.02 am after replacement of damage speed sensor (07-Sept-2020).

b) Second time the tripping was happened at 1:30 am, 1:55am & 2:15 am
result in interruption of supply and finally rectify & restore at 3.00 am after
cleaning the moisture of speed sensor (08-Sept-2020).

Given Below are the detail of affected D.G set:

 Capacity – 635 KVA

 S.no – FGW RP ES 5KEWA02403.
 Model – P6 35 P5.
 Make – F.G WILSON.
 Year Model: 2012

Prior to supplying temporary power, below are the sequence of activities which we
have done.

a. The D.G Set was installed at its strategic place.

b. Completed the LV cable of appropriate size up to the point of connection.
c. Completed the LV cable connection after getting the proper outage from
MARAFIQ.
d. The rating of the affected D. Gs are 513KVA & 635KVA.
e. The test run was conducted successfully before putting it in operation.
f. The D.G. Set associated with 5SXF303-3 had voltage fluctuations & frequent
tripped, finally replaced at 4:30 pm on same day, the AVR found damage, later on
during investigation.
g. The D.G. Set associated with 5SXF304-2 was abruptly stopped, the speed sensor
was found damage.

05 Analysis and conclusions:

5.1. Analysis
Summary of key findings.
1) The aforesaid affected D.G was re-start again & again many times due to
frequent tripping (the expected problem in generators alternator & AVR) before
the replacement existing 5SXF303-3 (250KVA).

2) The D/G Set associated to 5SXF304-2, the speed sensor was found damage.
Immediate causes.
1) The D.G. Set associated with 5SXF303-3 had voltage fluctuations & frequent
tripping due to poor maintenance or because it is an old model.

2) The D.G. Set associated with 5SXF304-2 was abruptly stopped due to poor
maintenance or because it is an old model.

5.2 Conclusions:

The D.G. set being used provide temporary at Camp-5 was found to be unreliable as
mentioned in the above findings and causes.
06 Mitigation proposal:

1. STICCO will hire the New D.Gs set on rental basis from the reputed D.Gs
supplier of the Market (i.e. Zahid tractor & Al-Taaqa).
2. The pre-qualification of the D.G supplier shall be submitted along with the
technical data sheet (e.g. kVA ratings, Year Model, manufacturer, etc.) to
Client for review and approval.
3. STICCO to purchase new D. Gs set of appropriate ratings rather than using the
rental one.
4. STICCO will carefully observe the DGs during operation & shall rectify such type
of problem on urgent basis, if occurred.
5. STICCO will increase the frequency of the visits at each & every installed D.Gs.
The above mitigation will help us in reducing risk of undesirable tripping from such
type of occurrence.
07 Recommendations and action plan:

S# Recommendations Action By Target Date Status

1. STICCO will hire the New D.G. set on STICCO 13th Sept. On-Going
rental basis from the reputed D.G 2020
set suppliers of the Market (i.e.
Zahid tractor & Al-Taaqa).
2. STICCO to purchase new D. Gs set of STICCO 24th Sept. Under approval
appropriate ratings rather than using 2020 by STICCO
the rental one. Chairman
3. STICCO will increase the frequency STICCO During
of the visits at each & every execution of
