NGR(Neutral Grounding Resistor)

• The suitable Neutral Grounding Resistance (NGR) should be installed between neutral point (star point) and the ground to restrict the earth fault current to 50 Amps

• it is used to limit the current flowing through ground.• it measures the resistance between the neutral and the

GND.• There two consideration to Select NGR

1) Plant capacity2) Current carrieng capacity

Bus Duct

• Different types of bus-ducts are provided as per application/ current and voltage rating.

Switch Yard

• Three type of switch yard in Essar salaya power it’s divided in based on voltage levelI. HV (High Voltage Switch yard )II. MV (Medium voltage)III. LV (Low Voltage)

HV Switch yard

• Electric power is generated in Generation Station. The voltage at which is power is generated in generation station lies between 11kv to 25kv.

• SwitchYard Definition It is switching station with incoming and outgoing feeders but without the transformer. It is a type of substation but incoming feeders and outgoing feeders are of same voltage level. Some times, the out door area of a substation where the circuit breakers are located are also called switchyard of the substation A switchyard connects and disconnects lines on the grid for various reasons. The operations and equipment are essentially all at the same voltage level.

Equipment in switch yard

Main Equipment used in HV switch yard

CVT(capacitive voltage transformer) CT(current transformer) Isolator Circuit Breaker Bus bar Wave trip EMVT( electromagnetic voltage transformer) LA (lighting arrester) Earth switch

CVT(capacitive voltage transformer)

• Capacitor Voltage Transformers convert transmission

class voltages to standardized low and easily

measurable values, which are used for metering,

protection and control of the high voltage system.

CT (current transformer)

• A current transformer (CT) is used for measurement of alternating electric currents.

• 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.

Isolator

• Isolator is an off load device which is operated by remote control or local. Isolators provided in switchyard are central break type.

Types of Electrical Isolators1) Double Break Isolator2) Single Break Isolator3) Pantograph type Isolator

Circuit Breaker

• A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit

• Its basic function is to detect a fault condition and interrupt current flow

Busbar

• A busbar in electrical power distribution refers to thick strips of copper or aluminium that conduct electricity within a switchboard, distribution board, substation, or other electrical apparatus

• The size of the busbar is important in determining the maximum amount of current that can be safely carried.

Wave trap

• Wave traps are used for communication purpose during fault conditions. Wave traps offer high impedance path for high frequency signals & low impedance path for power frequency current.

EMVT (electromagnetic voltage transformer)

EMVT- Electromagnetic voltage transformer . As the name says its works in the principle of electromagnetic induction principle.Its just a stepdown transformer,stepdown voltage i.e higher voltage to meserable voltage by instruments connected to measurement and protection.

LA (lighting arrester)

• A lightning arrester is a device used on electrical power systems and telecommunication systems to protect the insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging effects of lightning

• Earth switches used in substation . in that when isolator OPEN condition earth switch is CLOSED. here any induction that passes through earth switch to ground. when isolator in CLOSED condition Earth switch should be Open 

Earth Switch
