SUBJECT : INDUSTRIAL POWER SYSTEMBEF 44903Industrial Power Systems is a must-have course for anyone involved in power engineering, especially in the design and maintenance of power distribution systems. This course is arranged to furnish students’ understanding of the utilisation of electrical energy in industrial applications. The industrial power distribution system generally represents a relatively small portion of the entire plant cost (5% to 10%), yet the production and output of the other 90% to 95% ofplant investment is dependent on the service delivered by that investment in the power distribution system. Thus, it is vital for a power engineer to know the features and design procedures of industrial power systems, including basic plant planning, load estimation, instrument transformers, protective devices, power cables, power monitoring and control, as well as the energy management and control.

    Distribution Transformer (Tap changer)

    Tap Changer in Distribution Transformer: Off-circuit Tap

    C Load Tap Changer Usually placed on the primary winding in

    order to minimise the current to be switched as larger current is energised at secondary in distribution transformer.

    Off-circuit tap is used in industrial power system with 4 full capacity taps (5 positions) on primary (HV) in which provided 2.5%/ step. The transformer must be de-energized before the tap changer mechanism is operated.

    Distribution Transformer (Tap changer)

    Load Tap Changer (LTC) are usually used with oil-immersed transformers connected to the

    tilit l t lt l l diutility power supply at a voltage level exceeding 34.5 kV.

    Typical voltage variation is 10%, thus the tap changer is provided with an equivalent range of voltage regulation of 10% in 16 or 32 steps.

    Distribution Transformer (Oil-filled)

    Oil-filled transformers up to 2500 kVA are of two types:

    PERMANENTLY SEALED TANK

    Widely used as maintenance free. The hermetically-sealed prevents oxygen, nitrogen or moisture contact with the oil which can degrade the transformer performance

    TANK WITH A CONSERVATOR

    As the winding heats up and cools down, the air is expelled from or drawn into the transformer through the conservator. It can be repaired at the site

    Types of oil used: mineral oil, synthetic oil (chlorinated diphenyl/ askarel), and silicon oil.

    transformer performance. repaired at the site.

    Distribution Transformer (Oil-filled maintenance)

    Maintenance of oil-filled transformers: oil dielectric strength and acidity should be checked

    llannually. If the dielectric strength is less than 50 kV for 1

    min or the acidity is above 0.4, the oil should be replaced or filtered.

    Distribution Transformer (Dry-type)

    Distribution Transformer (Dry-type)

    In industrial plants, dry-type transformers are used for lighting, unit substations, and variable-frequency drives.Three different types of construction: Three different types of construction: Vacuum-pressure impregnation in polyester or

    silicone varnish. Less expensive, needs clean environment, and mechanically weak against through-fault current.

    Cast coil or cast resin. Mechanically short-circuit f d t th i di il t i iproof due to the winding coils are cast in a resin.

    VPI epoxy sealed or encapsulated. Winding coils are sealed with epoxy and thus is mechanically strong against through-fault currents.

    Power Cables

    Power cables are classified with respect to insulation as follows: Laminated type: This type of cable uses paper,

    varnished cambric, polypropylene, or other types of tape insulation material. Insulation formed in layers, typically from tapes of paper or other materials or combination of them. An example of this type of cable is the paper insulated lead-covered (PILC) cable.

    Extruded type: This type of cable uses rubber and rubber-like compounds, such as polyethylene (PE), cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE), ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), etc., applied using an extrusion process for the insulation system.

    Power Cables

    Selection of the cable insulation should be made on the basis of the applicable phase-to-phase voltage:

    100% level: Cables in this category may be applied where 100% level: Cables in this category may be applied where the system is provided with relay protection which normally clears ground faults within 1 min. This category is usually referred to as the grounded systems.

    133% level: Cables in this category may be applied where the system is provided with relay protection which normally clears ground faults within 1 h. This category is usually referred to as the low resistance grounded or ungroundedreferred to as the low resistance grounded, or ungrounded systems.

    173% level: Cables in this category may be applied where the time needed to de-energize the ground fault is indefinite. This level is recommended for ungrounded and for resonant grounded systems.

    Power Cables

    Three main criteria in cable sizing:1. Short circuit current withstand capacity2. Continuous current capacity (Ampacity)3. Starting and running voltage drops in cable

    Power Cables (Criteria 1)

    Short circuit current withstand capacity This criteria is applied to determine the

    minimum cross section area of the cable, so that cable can withstand the short circuit current.

    Failure to check the conductor size for short-circuit heating could result in permanent damage to the cable insulation and could also result into fire. In addition to the thermal stresses, the cable may also be subjected to significant mechanical stresses.

    Power Cables (Criteria 1)

    Short circuit current withstand capacity The maximum temperature reached under short

    circuit depends on both the magnitude and duration of the short circuit current.

    The quantity (I2t) represents the energy input by a fault that acts to heat up the cable conductor.

    for Eqn. 1. The value of t is to be determined next.

    The short circuit current is varies with time and the calculation process can be complicated. To simplify the process, the cable can be sized based on the interrupting capability of the circuit breakers/ fuses that protect them.

    Power Cables (Criteria 1)

    Short circuit current withstand capacity The fault clearing time (tc) of the breakers/

    fuses per ANSI/IEEE C37.010, C37.013, and UL 489 are: For medium voltage system (4.16 kV) breakers, use

    being fed from LV 415V or 400V switchgear having a circuit breaker with separate multifunction motor protection relay (For this calculation it is assumed to be SIEMENS made 7SJ61).

    However, an allowance of 40 msec in the opening time of circuit breaker is a wise consideration due to the

    i f t b f ti i iaging, frequent number of operation, increase in contact resistance of circuit breaker and to cover the variation due from manufacturer.

    controlled motor feeder in 415V or 400V switchgear shall be suitable to withstand the maximum rated fault current of 50kA for at least (120 + 40) = 160msec.

    Power Cables (Criteria 2)

    Continuous current carrying capacity This criteria is applied so that cross section of

    the cable can carry the required load current continuously at the designed ambient temperature and laying condition.

    Power Cables (Criteria 2)

    Continuous current carrying capacity (Example) A motor rated at 160 kW controlled by air circuit

    breaker fed from main PCC of fault rating 50kA and connected through Aluminum XLPE cable requires a cable size of 3C x 240 Sq mm minimum due to the short circuit rating.

    However, the next selected size is 3c x 300 Sq d t th ti t i tmm due to the continuous current requirement.

    Next consideration will be the voltage drop criteria.

    Power Cables (Criteria 3)

    Starting and running voltage drops in cable This criteria is applied to make sure the cross sectional

    f th bl i ffi i t t k th lt darea of the cable is sufficient to keep the voltage drop (due to impedance of cable conductor) within the specified limit so that the equipment which is being supplied power through that cable gets at least the minimum required voltage at its power supply input terminal during both starting and running conditions. Thi i t f d ffi i t ti f th This is to ensure safe and efficient operation of the associated equipment at the supply input terminal.
