Paper 3

The document discusses the installation of motor protection relays at NSPCL Rourkela to improve performance and fault diagnosis. There were 70 incidents of motor issues like burning and tripping in the past 3 years. The incomer would trip to power multiple motors, risking unit trips. New numerical relays were installed on 54 motors in 2 months to provide improved protections like overcurrent, earth fault detection. This resulted in fewer incidents, cost savings on spares, easier fault diagnosis and improved reliability.

RISK OF UNIT TRIPPING.....


Situation after tripping

Operation-parameters control,system revival,


valve operation etc.

 Maintenance-Accurate fault diagnosis ,


flashover, motor replacement and rewinding etc.

MTP person was also not in peace.


REASON
Only Protections available :-
1)Power Fuse

1)Thermal Overload Relay

During Earth Fault /Single Phasing???........


SOLUTION
MOTOR PROTECTION RELAY PROCUREMENT:-
 Inst. overcurrent protection
 Thermal overload protection
 Phase reversal
 Current Unbalance
 Earth Fault
 Stall rotor
 Locked Rotor
 Phase loss protection.
Drives Covered.....
Ash series pumps-Lower & upper deck
 Fly ash water pumps
 Cooling Tower fans
 Seal air blower
 Fire fighting pumps
 Belt conveyors
CHALLENGES DURING INSTALLATION

Space constraint.
CHALLENGES DURING INSTALLATION

 Very limited period shutdown.

 Modifications in control circuit wiring and bus


bar.

 Relay testing and setting at lab

 Ensuring utmost safety.


THE FINAL PICTURE....

54 numbers of numerical relays in 2 months


THE COST ECONOMICS....

L&T switchgear spare procurement- Rs. 10 Lakhs.


Cost of one ash handling motor-Rs. 6 Lakhs(approx)
Cost of rewinding one motor- Rs 0.5 Lakhs(approx)

P
PO NO. 4100003176 Dt. 02.02.2018
Supply of Relay,Current transformer & Retrofitting
charges – Rs. 7,87,500/-
