The outcome of the same is known to all.We would like to reiterate that we will notdesist from showing dissent if we areforced to do so by the management. Butin the larger interest of the organisationand the State we are against initiating suchdrastic steps and similarly we expect themanagement to appreciate the concernsand act accordingly.

A pay revision committee wasconstituted by the government for revisionof pay and allowances of employees andofficers of KSEB Ltd. and the employeesand officers were not fully satisfied withits proposals. We had demanded beforethe committee for a separate pay scale forengineers of KSEB Ltd but it was not giventhe weightage it deserved. The Boardformed a sub committee for conductingnegotiation with the representatives oftrade unions and associations ofEngineers and officers. The pay revisionof workmen has come into effect with thesigning of the LTS by the trade unionswhere as that of officers is waiting in thewings..

Normally, in KSEB the payrevision process of workmen is completedfirst and then the discussion process isinitiated with the associations of Engineers& officers . But this time around in aglaring deviation from the past, theproposed pay scale of engineers & officerswas first circulated to the trade unions.Whether it was intentional orunintentional , all the associations ofEngineers and officers expressed strongdispleasure during the discussion inspiteof admission of error by the management.We strongly feel that it was a deliberateattempt by the management to cap thepay scale and allowances of engineers andofficers under the pretext that the tradeunions had strong reservations on thesame. But this is not at all a healthypractice for any professional organisation.

Infact all the associations of engineers andofficers even demanded for a separateMaster scale for Engineers & officers bydelinking the same from that of theworkmen. Though the mangement wassupportive of this idea it was informed thatit was too late for this time around. Wedemand that the master scale of Engineersand officers shall be separate and delinkedfrom that of the workmen at the earliestpossible oppurtunity.

All the associations were unanimousin their demand for maintaning theexisting scale parity with the governmentscale. In the proposal, the hike in variousallowances are too meagre to appreciate.We demanded special package forengineers working in generation and aappropriate allowance to AssistantEngineers in distribution sections. We alsodemand an additional increment for newrecruits to be continued. After muchdeliberations the management agreed tolook into the issues.

The management also agreed toincrease the limit of allowances for thoseworking in isolated areas and forproviding the duty allowance which wasdenied to a certain section of engineersthrough a misinterpretation of theprovision. The matter of including theeligible allowances in the surrender ofEarned leave for employees in generatingstations was raised by us and themanagement agreed to consider itfavourably. We also pointed out that thematter has already taken up by us withthe Board for permitting the inclusion ofallowances and the same has been referredto the Government. The management hadshown some leniency in allowingadditional allowances for AssistantEngineers working at IHEP by allowingthe drawal of Tunnel allowance.Regarding safety, there was a general

consensus that the present system of safetypractice is totally inadequate. Wesuggested that Safety should be made atechnical audit exercise rather than thepresent system and for which there shouldbe a separate independent wing foreffective enforcement. The proposal fortransfer through a transparent onlineprocess based on clearly established normswas accepted by one and all. We informedthat for arriving at the seniority intransfers a sample Seniority calculatorsoftware has been prepared with dueweightage for outstation service ,

generation service and females etc.Association requested to consider this fordiscussion among all concerned.Subsequently a copy of the software washanded over to the CMD.

In short, a very bleak picture isemanating for the payrevision this timearound and we request and expect all likeminded colleagues to arise, unite and fightfor our legitimate demands for ourprofessional input to this esteemedorganisation.Our fight shall not end untilwe achieve our goal.

Sixteen Engineers from MuvattupuzhaUnit had conducted a Technical tour toKolar HVDC station on 25.01.2016. Tripwas arranged by the unit secretary Er.Vijayakumar V.R with the help of Er.Geetha R, AEE of Ernakulam Unit. Tripstarted from Aluva at 5.30PM on24.01.2015 by train. We have reachedBanglore early morning at around 4AMon 25.01.2016. After refreshing at KEBEngineer's House, we went to Kolar HVDCstation around 80kM from Banglore byhired vehicle. A video describing construc-tion of the HVDC line and converter sta-tions at Kolar and Thalcher was shown inthe conference hall. The Project planning

Technical Tour to Kolar HVDC station by

Muvattupuzha Unit

started in 1998 with the aim to transfer2000MW power produced at ThalcherThermal Power Station of NTPC (ORISSA)to power deficit southern region. The to-tal project work consisting of two termi-nal HVDC stations with 2000MW powertransfer capability at Kolar and Thalcherand 1400 kM, +/-500kV HVDC line cross-ing 5 major rivers in India was completedin just 30 months (2000-2002) 9 monthsahead of the targeted schedule which ourorganization cannot imagine at all. Thiswas followed by a power point presenta-tion by Er. Divakar regarding the majorequipments in the HVDC station, advan-tages/ disadvantages of HVDC, control/

Voltage: +/- 500kV Bipolar transmis-sion.

Power Transfer capability: 2000MWContinuous & 2500MW for 10Hrs

No. of poles: 4No. of converters: Four 12 pulse con-

verters: Each thyristor with 8kVThyristorsconnected in series to the required voltagelevel: 78 thyristors in each limb and a totalof 936 thyristors used in one pole.

Intermediate station; 1 for communi-cation purpose only

No DC breakersControl using PLC. No relays. Con-

trol of power using Delay/Extinction anglecontrol. Fully Automated.

Earthing: Chikkadasarahalli -30kMaway from Kolar to avoid galvanic corro-sion at convertor stations.II. Advantages of HVDC over HVAC

transmission

1. Controlled power flow is possible veryprecisely

2. Asynchronous operation possible be-tween regions having different electri-cal parameters.

3. No restriction on line length as no reac-tance in DC lines.

4. Stabilising HVAC systems-Dampeningof power swings and sub synchronousfrequencies of generator.

5. Faults in one AC system will not affect

the other AC system.6. Cable and submarine transmission:

Limitation in cable and submarine trans-mission using AC due to high reactivecompensation required to meet charg-ing currents in cables.

7. Lesser corona loss and radio interfer-ence

8. Better voltage control. Rapid powertransfer possible. Flexibility of operation.

9. No. of conductors and tower size lesscompared to HVAC.

10.Fault level remains unchanged if twoAC systems are interconnected withHVDC

III. Draw backs of HVDC transmission

1. Operation of HVDC transmission re-quires continuous firing of thyristorvalves.

2. Controls of HVDC are complex.3. Non availability of high current DC

breakers4. Sub transmission is not possible. HVDC

does not have step up/ step downtransformers.

5. Not economical for short distance OHtransmission as the converter stationcost is higher than AC substation cost.Break even distance is 500-800kM.

6. HVDC station requires additional har-monic filters and shunt capacitors.

7. HVDC substation has additional lossesin converter transformers and valves.These losses are continuous. Elaboratecooling system is necessary to dissipateheat.

8. Reactive compensation required at con-verter stations and hence several addi-tional equipments and auxiliaries.

IV. Types of HVDC transmission

1. Monopolar: One pole and returnearth. The pole is normally negativewith respect to earth. Power rating al-most half of the rating of bipolar sys-tem

2. Homopolar: Two poles of samepolarity and return earth. This systemwas used earlier for combination ofcable and overhead transmission.

3. Bipolar: Two poles one positive andother negative with respect to earth.Poles include substation pole and trans-mission line pole. The midpoint ofBipoles in each terminal is earthed viaan electrode line and an earth elec-trode. Earth electrode located 5 to 25km away from terminals. During faulton a pole the mode is changed tomonopolar with reduced power flowthrough one pole and return earth.

4. Back to back HVDC coupling system:Usually bipolar without return earth.Convertor and inverter located in thesame substation. Provides asynchro-nous tie between two independentlycontrolled AC networks. ie to couple ACsystem with different frequencies. Im-proves system stability and power ex-changes can be rapidly varied.

V. Major Components of HVDC Station

1.12 pulse Converter with thyristor valves:Valves are made up of series connectedthyristors. Valves are connected inbridge configuration.. Valves are watercooled. Each Thyristor level consists ofThyristor, Snubber circuit -to preventhigh dv/dt, Snubber Capacitor, Snub-ber Resistor, Valve Reactor -to prevent

high di/dt, Grading Resistor -to equilizethe potential across all the levels in avalve -static equalizing, Grading capaci-tor -dynamic equalizing.

2. Converter Transformers: Connected be-tween converter valves and AC bus.These are specially designed as theyhave DC voltage component comingfrom valve side AC side is star con-nected and DC side one star and onedelta winding. These are single phasetransformers with three winding typeand then connected as three phase.There are 21 tap positions (OLTC) inthe transformer for voltage control.

3. Smoothing reactor: For smoothing DCcurrent and is oil cooled.

4. Electrode line: The neutral points ofconverters in each terminal are earthedvia separate electrode line remote earthelectrode. The earth electrode is locatedat 22kM away from Kolar and Elec-trode line is passing through overheadtowers.

5. AC Filters: Operation of thyristor valvesresults generation of AC harmonics. ACfilters are connected to the AC bus ateach end. AC harmonic filters coverslarge area near AC yard.

AC side Harmonics are Current harmon-ics and Generated harmonics -(12n ±1)harmonics

-n = 1,2,3….. -Predominant harmonics -11,13,23,25,35,37 -Additionally 3rdharmonics.

dog was creating havoc in thesurroundings. Suddenly the barkingstopped.

Dhronacharya was curious and whenhe came out of the ashram, he saw thedog with arrows in his open mouth! Heenquired as to who had done it. Eklavyaappeared in all humility in front of thegreat guru.

Dhronacharya:“Who gave you this

education?”

E k l a v y a : “ D h r o n a c h a r y a j i ”Dhronacharya: “I am Dhronacharya. Where

is my Guru-dekshina?”

Eklavya: “Please order me and I will behonoured to do so...”

Dhronacharya:“Give me your right

thumb!”

Eklavya did instantly what he was told.

Envy and colleagues

As certain employees get goodpositions at work, their colleagues mightexperience jealousy. Jealousy in theworkplace can occur as envious glances,unpleasant comments or attempts tosabotage the victim’s success. If leftunchecked, such behaviours can result ina discontented work environment. Likeany other executive, you may have toosuch experiences. Things seem to be goingyour way at work. And how? Perhaps youmanaged to ace an important project/assignment, been praised in a meeting byyour boss, earned some well-deservedawards or been given additionalresponsibilities. You are thrilled! Suddenlyone or more of your colleagues seem to

graces and communication skills or drivesimply a Ferrari. And your jealousneighbour won’t ask about your wellbeingnor your expensive car because the enquirywould be the sincerest form of flattery andyou are not about to get that from thisneighbour. And probably the only time hemay mention about your health or vehicleis when you met with an accident withfractured legs and damaged car!

Envy is disruptive but a naturalemotion that we are faced with each day.You can’t avoid it, but certainly you cancontain it. If you are not careful you canbecome a victim of this emotion. When youare blinded by envy, you can’t see yourown opportunities right in front of you.While you may not be able to change thefeelings that cause envy, you can changethe way you look at things and that willeliminate envy from your life. Instead ofbeing mired in jealousy you look at thesuccessive person as a role model whomotivates you to improve.

Envy in purest form

Envy often stems from insecurityor fear of losing something important orvaluable. Since it is caused by negativefeelings it is not without consequences. Inthe Mahabharata, Dhronacharya was thegreatest teacher. He taught only princesand refused Eklavya, who was a dalit. ButEklavya started practising archery in frontof an earthen statue of Dhronacharya.Inspiration, self motivation and hardwork made him a greater archer than evenArjuna. Once Dhronacharya wasmeditating in his ashram when a barking

complain about the unfairness of it all. Inthis environment co-worker jealousy rearsits ugly head over the seemingly smallestand meaningless events.

Sometimes your colleague in anotherwing may spread the word that you areuseless and does not deserve to be whereyou are professionally. They mayunderrate or undersell your skills andabilities. Take the Accounting wing.Perhaps, right from the time Brahmacreated the first engineer and the firstaccountant, they have been fighting! Whatdoes the engineer say about theaccountant? Here is a chap who createshurdles in passing the M-book. Ifsomething goes wrong, somethingdelayed, who is responsible? Theaccountant? And basically he is a stupidchap. If he was intelligent wouldn’t hehave become an engineer? Why does hesend all his kids to the engineering college?

You go to the accountant and askhim, “What do you think of the engineer?”He says, “Engineers are stupid people.They don’t know how to prepare an M-book logically! If anything I ask, they sayit is Technical, Technical, Technical. Justlike the KSRTC trip delay. What is thereason? A technical snag”. What istechnical snag? May be the lady conductorforgot her vanity bag! Secondly they don’tunderstand procedures. They want torepair transformers- very costly repairs. Itell them, “Look here! Why don’t you getsome quotations?” You know what theysay. “ Let me get it repaired first. I shallget the quotations afterwards!” What is

the use of quotations afterwards? Thirdlythey want to give all the repair works tothe same contractor. Something fishythere! I better watch them carefully;otherwise they will rob the KSEB Ltdblind.”

Because of the feuds in anorganization, you get a lot of counter-productive activity. Once I met a storekeeper in a project area, normally a moroseperson, looking very happy. I enquired,“What happened? Why are you so happytoday?” He said, “You know, the circuitbreaker (ABCB) in the yard has burst.They (maintenance staff) are screwed upfor the next few days!” His enemy numberone is the maintenance wing of thatgenerating station! On another occasion Iwalked into the finance wing of theCorporate Office. There I could hearwhispers starting to go around. “See he iscoming for information. Don’t give himany. Even if he asks, just say the file ismissing.”

Envy at work

Envy- the distress people feel whenothers get what they want- is universal.Research studies over the last decadefound that people at all levels in anorganisation are vulnerable to envy. Envydamages relationships, disrupts teams,and undermines organisationalperformance. Most important, it harmsthe person who feels it. Take extra carenot to get cardiac arrest when yourimmediate neighbour got the OnamBumper! When you are obsessed withyour colleague’s success, your self-respectsuffers to the extent you may neglect your

15


own performance leading todisengagement, productivity loss andsometimes your career prospects.

Envy is difficult to manage because itis hard to admit that we harbour such asocially unacceptable emotion. Ourdiscomfort makes us to conceal and denyour feelings and that makes things worse.Repressed envy inevitably resurfaces,stronger than ever.

A tale of two employees

When others’ success in theworkplace bothers you, you becomeruminative, obsess over interactions withrivals and over analyze even the fleetingpraise your superior bestows on others.Your least-generous self surfaces as you tryto boost your fragile ego at your rival.Consider what happened between twocolleagues Prem and Vinod (The namesare pseudonyms but the story is true),executives in an elite private organisationwhere I was working for some years.Initially they were good friends andregarded as the heart and soul of the firm.Although Prem was objectively thestronger performer, Vinod’s personalityand social network earned him moreattention, opportunities and recognitionboth inside and outside the firm. Vinod’scharms catapulted him higher. Premundermined him in conversations and atmeetings. Prem grew disengaged fromorganisation as well, distancing himselffrom teammates, lacking passion for hiswork and performing poorly. Seniormanagement was baffled. How could a topperformer deteriorate into this negativeforce? Vinod moved forward, but Prem

left the firm feeling vengeful and unableto revive his stellar performance!

The damaging side effects.

When others have qualities weenvy but can’t easily acquire, like beautyor charm, we try to dismiss those qualitiesand even treat them with scorn. Also webelittle the accomplishments of those weresent. People also tend to distancethemselves from the objects of their envy.Enviers have also difficulty learning fromand collaborating with others leading todisruptions or oversights at work. Why dowe pull away from colleagues we envy?Perhaps we experience this emotion moreintensely with people who are close to us.People are normally unhappier when aclose friend succeeds in a personallyrelevant domain than when a strangerdoes. When an AEE got a chance to fly toMumbai for transformer testing, it was hiscolleague and close friend who put up anote saying that AEEs are not eligible togo by air!

The desire to remain at arm’s lengthfrom successful colleagues leads to missedopportunities and organisationalinefficiency. Research shows that peoplewant to learn more about ideas that comefrom other companies than about ideasthat originate with colleagues in their ownorganisations. Why? Concerns aboutstatus. When we copy an idea from anoutsider we are seen as enterprising; whenwe borrow an idea from a colleague, weconsider that person an intellectual leader.This dislike of learning from inside rivalshas a high organisational price both in time

16


and money. Although the German wordschadenfreude- delighting in others’ misery-rapidly entered the English lexicon, theterm mudita (from Pali used by Budhiststo mean “ rejoicing in good fortune ofothers”) has not. It is the rare personwhose automatic impulse is to feel gladwhen meeting someone smarter, prettieror richer!

Women at work

Jealousy and envy impact womendifferently than men. Research shows thatwomen are jealous of other women atwork. Women with a high level ofintersexual competition- competitionbetween people of the same genderspurred on by the desire to get and keepaccess to the opposite sex – are morejealous if the rival is more attractive andmore envious if the rival is more powerfuland dominating. Think of the aspiringIndian women who envy the mostpowerful Indian business women likeIndra Nooyi CEO and Chairman PepsiCo,Chanda Kochhar CEO and Managingdirector, ICICI Bank or ArundhatiBhattacharya, Chairperson, State Bank ofIndia! As for men being jealous of men,well that didn’t happen. However, whenit came to social skills, both men andwomen showed signs of jealousy and envytowards individuals who seemed to havean easier time socially at the office. Thefact that women resent female co-workersbased on their fair looks, dominance andamount of attention received from theopposite sex is highly interesting. Looks doreally matter when it comes to getting ajob. Research also found that women who

are overweight or unattractive makesignificantly lower salaries than theirconventionally pretty counterparts.

Beating your envy

Beating envy at workplace involvesswallowing your ego. First you have toacknowledge your envy to tame it becausedenying or concealing envy makes theproblem worse. Recognize thecircumstances and qualities in others thattrigger your envy. Ask yourself if yourfeelings reveal what you are most insecureabout lacking. Do you envy people wholearn new skills quickly or get praise fromthe boss? When you actually identify thethings that set you off, you can begin totame envious feelings before they turn intocounterproductive responses. You canalso focus on improving yourself in theareas you have discovered you care aboutmost.

Don’t focus on other people; focus onyourself. Comparing yourself withsuccessful co-workers can be motivating,but it can also trigger envy. Instead trymeasuring your present self against yourpast self. Affirm yourself. Recognizingyour emotional triggers and your ownaccomplishments can help you checkenvy. By confronting your feelings andreplacing negative habits of thinking withmore productive ones, you will becomemore open to others, more receptive tochange and more fulfilled at work.

Managing envy on your team

Envy exacts a toll on organisations,beginning with the person who envies. Italso affects the envied like potentialsabotage of his/her projects, reputationand even the career. A strong culture of

Æ

17


envy can erode trust and undermineemployees’ ability to collaborate. As amanager you have to circum vent andmanage it. Share power. Managers whoshare the glory with subordinates anddevelop others help both their teams andthemselves. Make what is scarce plentiful.Guarantee every team member an hour ofone-on- one time each week, which cancreate a more collaborative environment.

Sharing resources with other teamsalso help tamp down envy in yourorganisation. I remember certain toppeople in the corporate office of KSEB whobelieved they could keep their monopolyby hoarding vital information. But, inreality, they only isolated themselves andlost friends and even their reputation.Sharing resources, in contrast, lays thegroundwork for reciprocity and futurecollaboration.

Managers unintentionally breedenvy by appreciating certain types of traitsand successes. Also be careful about youruse of language. Too much public praisefor a team member’s leadership can makeit seem as if you overlook the importanceof other employees. Encouragecollaborative practices instead. It is saidthat Thomas Edison became famous notonly by his own creativity but also bycelebrating the ideas and brilliance of hisown followers. He himself was more of asponge than an inventor.

Envy is natural and automatic, butcontrollable. By reflecting on yourvulnerable moments and practicing newhabits, you can transform an undignifiedand harmful emotion into a means ofenhancing both your own performanceand your team’s.

Accordingly, we submit herewith soft copy of a draft Seniority Calculatorincorporating certain factors. We request that the same may kindly be arranged to bediscussed among other Associations of Officers . It is also suggested that discussionsmay be initiated at the earliest for finalizing online transfer policy so that the generalguidelines could be finalized and implemented with effect from ensuing transfers itself.

KSEBEA/Pay revision /2015-16 16-02-2016

To

The Chairman & Managing Director

Kerala State Electricity Board Limited.

Sir,

Sub:- Pay revision of Engineers and Officers- Cadre pay - reg.

Ref:- Proposals furnished by the management

This is with reference to the proposal for payment of Cadre Pay in the pay

revision proposals put forth by the management in the discussions with the association

of Engineers and Officers on 11-02-2016. During the discussions it was requested that

since the Sr. AO / Sr. FO are placed in a pay scale above that of the Executive Engineers,

they may be paid Cadre pay in the next slab of Deputy Chief Engineer/ CPO/ CAO

(who incidentally are placed in a pay scale above that of Sr. AO / Sr. FO ) ie Rs 2000/

- as against the present proposal of Rs 600/-. This request was agreed to be considered

favourably by the management. In the same yard stick we wish to point out that even

though the pay scale of Executive Engineer/ Personnel Officer is above the pay scale

of Accounts Officer/ Finance Officer/PA, the cadre pay proposed for Executive

Engineer is only corresponding to that of the lower pay scale of AO/FO/PA. We

strongly feel that the above anomaly cropped in because of the fact that even though

there are seven (07) pay scales, for the payment of Cadre pay there exists only five (05)

slabs. Hence we request that the cadre pay of Executive Engineers may be refixed

appropriately between the present proposal of Rs 600/- and the next slab of Cadre

pay of Rs 2000/-.

Yours faithfully,

s/d

PRESIDENT
