Power Line Carrier CommunicationPLCC

The power line carrier communication equipment required is to provide primarily efficient, secure and
reliable information link for carrier aided distance protection and direct tripping of remote-end breaker and
also for speech communication between 220/400/765 kV sub-stations. It includes carrier terminals of
multipurpose type for speech and protection. All carrier terminals including those for protection, suitable for
point to point speech communication also.

 PLCC use Amplitude Modulation and has single side band transmission mode.
 Mode of transmission Amplitude Modulation single side band with suppressed carrier or reduced
carrier frequency 40to 500kHz range.
 Nominal carrier frequency 4.0 kHz band in either direction of transmission
 Supply voltage48 V DC +15%, -10% Positive pole earthed
 SPEECH COMMUNICATIONPLC equipment provide telephone communication between the
stations where the transmission lines are terminating. It is possible for subscriber at any of the
stations to contact the subscriber at all other stations connected in the system by dialing his call
number.

A) High Frequency Cable: High frequency cable connects to the PLC terminal installed indoorto the
coupling device which installed in the switchyard.
B) Line trap/ wave trap
 Cconform to latest IEC 60353 fulfilling all the technical requirements.
 The rated short time current for 1Second should be 63/50/40/31.5 kA as per requirement.
 The mH. Rating should be 1.0/0.5/0.25mH depending on frequency plan.
 The Line Trap shouldbe suitable for outdoor pedestal or suspension mounting andshould be
mechanically strong enough to withstand the stresses due to maximum wind pressure of 260
kg/square meter
 For pedestal mounting, each line trap mounted on a tripod structure formed by three insulator
stacks arranged in a triangular form. All the accessories and hardware, mounting stool
including bolts for fixing the line trap on insulatorsshould be of non-magnetic material.
C) Lime Matching Unit(LMU)The modular coupling device MCD80, it is mounted in switchyard
near CVT together with the coupling capacitor and line trap basically fulfill the following functions:
 Insertion and extraction of PLC signals on high voltage overhead lines and cables.
 Through connection and distribution of PLC signals in intermediate stations.
 Impedance matching between transmission path and PLC equipment.
 Potential separation of high voltage equipment and PLC equipment.
 In addition to reliable protection of personnel and communication equipment, maximum
emphasis was also placed on low insertion loss for the coupling of the PLC signals on the
transmission line.
The main part of LMU is given below
 PLC coupling filterA9BS : The tunable drain coil and the coupling capacitor together with a
tunable series capacitance and shunt inductance form a programmable high pass filter.
Potential separation of the line side from the equipment side is provided by a transformer with
taps. This ensures a proper matching of the line impedance to the equipment impedance and
can be programmed for two values of both line and equipment impedance. The drain coil
diverts the power frequency current flowing through the coupling capacitor to earth. A
lightning arrester connected in parallel with the drain coil limits voltage peaks coming from
the line to a value harmless for the circuit. The coupling can be earthed during servicing by
the earthing switch

PLC coupling filterA9BTThe basic filter units A9BS are supplemented by A9BT to provide a
two phase or inter-system coupling. The Supplementary unit differs from the relevant basic units
only by the built-in hybrid transformer A1AC, which distributes the PLC signal in push-pull
operation to the two phases. This ensures that the additional attenuation is not greater than
approx. 4dB with single-phase faults close to the station. The impedance transformer module
A1AE is one of the optional modules which can be mounted inside of the MCD80 enclosure. The
highpass coupling filter A9BS/A9BT is program
amiable for secondary equipment side impedance of ohm 75unbalanced or ohm 125unbalanced.
The module A1AE is used for matching to other equipment such as 150ohmbalanced and is
individually manufactured.

 Current Transformer
CT provide 1 Ampere at secondry with respect to primary of 3000A or 2000A or 1000A

In electrical engineering, a current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of electric currents. Current
transformers are also known as instrument transformers. When current in a circuit is too high to directly
apply to measuring instruments, a current transformer produces a reduced current accurately proportional to
the current in the circuit, which can be conveniently connected to measuring and recording instruments. A
current transformer also isolates the measuring instruments from what may be very high voltage in the
primary circuit. Current transformers are commonly used in metering and protective relays in the electrical
power industry.

 Capacitor Voltage Transformer (CVT )
CVT provide 110 Volt at secondry with respect to primary of 765kV or 400kV or 220kV

A capacitor voltage transformer (CVT), or capacitance coupled voltage transformer (CCVT) is

a transformer used in power systems to step down extra high voltage signals and provide a low

voltage signal, for measurement or to operate a protective relay. In its most basic form the device consists of

three parts: two capacitors across which the transmission line signal is split, an inductive element to tune

the device to the line frequency, and a transformer to isolate and further step down the voltage for the

instrumentation or protective relay. The device has at least four terminals: a terminal for connection to the

high voltage signal, a ground terminal, and two secondary terminals which connect to the instrumentation

or protective relay. CVTs are typically single-phase devices used for measuring voltages in excess of one

hundred kilovolts where the use of voltage transformers would be uneconomical. In practice, capacitor C1 is

often constructed as a stack of smaller capacitors connected in series. This provides a large voltage drop

across C1 and a relatively small voltage drop across C2.

The CVT is also useful in communication systems. CVTs in combination with wave traps are used for

filtering high frequency communication signals from power frequency. This forms a carrier communication

network throughout the transmission network

 Interconnecting Transformer (I C T)
In 400/220 kV Lucknow substation, two ICT are in service. First is 315 MVA CGL make and second is
500 MVA Alstom make.

A transformer is a device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively

coupled electrical conductors. A changing current in the first circuit creates a changing magnetic field; in

turn, this magnetic field induces a changing voltage in the second circuit. By adding a load to the secondary

circuit, one can make current flow in the transformer, thus transferring energy from one circuit to the other.

The secondary induced voltage VS, of an ideal transformer, is scaled from the primary VP by a factor equal

to the ratio of the number of turns of wire in their respective windings. By appropriate selection of the

numbers of turns, a transformer thus allows an alternating voltage to be stepped up — by making NS more

than NP — or stepped down, by making it less.

SULPHUR HEXAFLUORIDE(SF6) CIRCUIT BREAKER

400kV SF6 Circuit Breakers

SF6 has excellent insulating strength because of its affinity for electrons (electro negativity) i.e. whenever a

free electron collides with the neutral gas molecule to form negative ion, the electron is absorbed by the

neutral gas molecule. The attachment of electron with the neutral gas molecule occurs in two ways:

ADVANTAGES OF SF6 BREAKERS:

1. The current chopping tendency is minimized by using the gas sf6 at low pressure and low
 velocity.

2. The closed circuit gas cycle and low velocity operation eliminates the moisture problem and

gives noiseless operation of the breaker.

3. Because of the outstanding arc quenching properties of sf6, the arcing time is small, and,

therefore, contact erosion is less.

4. No carbon particle is formed during arcing and, therefore, there is no reduction in the dielectric

strength of the gas.

5. The circuit breaker performance is not affected by the atmospheric conditions.

6. Electrical clearances are drastically reduced due to high dielectric strength of SF6.

ISOLATOR

An isolator switch is part of an electrical circuit and the switch isolates circuits that are continually

powered or is a key element which enables an electrical engineer to safely work on the protected circuit.

In some designs the isolator switch has the additional ability to earth the isolated circuit thereby providing

additional safety. Such an arrangement would apply to circuits which inter-connect power distribution

systems where both end of the circuit need to be isolated.

The major difference between an isolator and a circuit breaker is that an isolator is an off-load device,

whereas a circuit breaker is an on-load device.

Lightning Arrestor
Lightning has been a source of wonder to mankind for thousands of years. Some of the accepted facts about
thunder cloud and lightning phenomenon:

1. The height of the cloud base above the surrounding ground level may vary from 500 to 30000 ft. the
charged centers which are responsible for lightning are in the range of 1000 to 5000 ft.
2. The maximum charge on a cloud is of the order of 10 coulombs which is built up exponentially over a
period of perhaps many second or even minutes.
3. The maximum potential of a cloud lies approximately within the range of 10 MV to 100 MV.
4. The energy in the lightning stroke may be of the order of 250 KWHR.

The current in the streamer is of the order of 100 ampere and the sped of the streamer is 0.5ft./microsecond.
This streamer is known as pilot streamer because this leads to the lightning phenomenon. Depending upon
the state of ionization of the air surrounding the streamer, it is branched up to several paths and this is
known as a stepped leader. The leader steps are of the order of 50 m in length and are accomplished in
about a microsecond. The charge is brought from the cloud through the already ionized paths to these
pauses. The air surrounding these pauses is again ionized and the leader in this way reaches the earth.
 The action of the lightning arrester or surge diverter is as under:
(i) Under normal operation, the lightning arrester is off the line i.e. it conducts no current to earth or the
gap is non-conducting

(ii) On the occurrence of over voltage, the air insulation across the gap breaks down and an arc is formed
providing a low resistance path for the surge to the ground. In this way, the excess charge on the line due to
the surge is harmlessly conducted through the arrester to the ground instead of being sent back over the line.

WAVE TRAP :It is connected in series with the power (transmission) line. It blocks the
high frequency carrier waves (24 KHz to 500 KHz) and let power waves (50Hz - 60Hz) to
pass through. It is basically an inductor of rating in millihenry.

CONCLUSION
Transmission systems have a force multiplier effect on the electricity sector. Apart from

increasing reliability of the electricity grids, they help in harnessing the diversity available

over the vast interconnection on account of weather, festivals, culture, lifestyle, growth

disparities etc. This diversity helps in economy exchanges of electricity leading to very low

payback periods (less than three years) on investment as well as a high benefit-cost ratio

even without considering its impact on emissions. Strong cross-border international

connections would further help in reaping the benefit of this diversity. Further the

enlargement of the grid also increases the interdependence between regions and calls for

building of institutions, increasing professionalism and exploiting technology at the

international, national and regional level to cope with the increased complexity of grid

operation.
