    High polarising index in repaired cable

    Hi, we have done straight through jont in a 33 kV UE 1c cable. After jointing, when we took the PI, PI is coming very high (more than 50 with 1 min & 10 min value as 5.98 and 342 M Ohm respectively). Can any one explain the phenomena pls?

    Thrust pad damage of a 16 MW Generator

    Dear All, We are having a 16 MW 11 kV Generator. Recently thrust pad of machine got damaged. Mechanical team is fearing that it may be due to improper magnetic center of Generator. Please guide me on following: 1. If thrust pad can get damage due to improper magnetic center? 2. How to test that...

    transformer oil for different voltage level

    Oil for all the voltage level is same. Only difference is in its BDV and PPM level. For higher voltage level e.g. 200 kV system, desirable BDV is 70 kV and PPM is 100, whereas for lower voltage level e.g. 33 kV, 55 kV and 20 PPM might be acceptable.

    Transmission line tripping during lightening..

    Thanks Marmite, But in hilly area, where improving the earth resistance is challenge, how the energy of LA will dissipate, if we install LA across the insulator string?

    Transmission line tripping during lightening..

    It has static wire in the form of OPGW.

    Transmission line tripping during lightening..

    I am having about 60 KM long 220 kV double circuit Transmission line, which passes through the forest and hilly area. During rainy season, heavy lightening takes place and causes the frequent tripping of line and on checking, we often find flash marks on the disc. Quite often, we found the flash...

    Counter reading of LA

    Hi During routine inspection, we observed that counter reading of one of the 220 kV LA's has increased to 76 from 21 in one week time. I am arraning for checking the 3rd harmonic leakage current. Is there any specific reason for this sudden increase in counter reading can be ascertained and...

    Failure of LAs in 33 kV system

    Thanks Cuky, is there a way by which i can check the presence of ferroresonance? There is no visible sign (hunting etc.) of ferroresonance in our system.

    Failure of LAs in 33 kV system

    Yes, our system is effectively grounded. I don't have any idea, how rated voltage was selected. Is there any guidelines for its selection in case of LAs?

    Failure of LAs in 33 kV system

    @ PWRTRAN: How can we check / test the LAs for manufacturing / design problem. Can you suggest some change in specification / inclusion of tests while ordering? we are monitoring the 3rd harmonic leakage current periodically and it is in the order. @ Rasevskii: LAs are vertically mounted with...

    Failure of LAs in 33 kV system

    We have are supplying power to our Oxygen plant through 1.5 KM long cables. Cables are terminated to a 25 MVA Ynyn Transformer (33 kV / 6.6 kV) in open yard. LAs are provided just before the Transformers. Name plate details of LAs are: Metal Oxide, Rated voltage - 36 kV, Discharge current - 20...

    Rate of change of frequency for Grid islanding

    Our AVRs are always in the Auto mode and we keep excitation in lagging mode. I am very much sure about the agreement with Unitlity and i can island myself based on our requirement.
