FAULT REPORT

The operation In Charge reported on 15.04.2015 at 03:45 hrs that plant tripped on VFD fault. There was no abnormality or any serious issues like burn smell etc, so it was decided to take up the issue during general shift at 07:00 hrs in the morning.

On visual inspection the following faults observed in the VFD Display unit and noted to the maintenance register.

1. 2U1C Fbk F0 Loss

2. 2U4A Fbk F0 Loss Time: 03:41:37 hrs

FAULT SHOWN IN THE DISPLAY 1

As a preliminary step

- Fault Acknowledged- Given Reset, Found the fault is persisting.(NOTE : No more attempts should be made to

RESET the fault)

FAULT FINIDNG: THE ORIGIN OF FAULT AND LOCATION

- Referred to the original manual and the list of faults and possible reasons

Page 3: VFD1 MAINTENACE REPOR T RO KHOR

- It is found clear from the trouble shooting that the fault is Major.- Obtained work permit from the operation In Charge.- Isolated 6.6 kv- Opened the VFD panel isolator- Obtained the KEY (mechanical Interlock) from the isolator panel to open the MV voltage

panels.- Discharged the 6.6 KV with the help of Earth rod..Enough time given to ensure proper

discharge of any static charge to ensure the safety of working personnel.- Visual inspection made to ensure the physical status of all components and any possible

damages.- Located the rectifier bridge and associated circuits ( with control supply ON)- Checked the cable tags to find out the fiber optic cable responsible for the fault and

inspected for any physical damage and found to be in good condition.- Further inspection revealed that SGCT (Symmetrical Gate Fired Thyristors) firing cards of

the respective ( 2U1C, 2U4A) rectifier bridge not getting the power supply. Identified the terminals and verified the DC 20 Volt is not available.

- Followed the drawing to see the source of power supply. The power supply was from IGDPSM(Integrated gate driver power supply module).Found that, two out of six voltage outputs are not working.

- The failure of the power supply module seemed to be secondary. The root cause can be the card which uses the power supply.

- Checked the healthiness of the SGCT firing cards. Found that the respective cards are faulty.

- 2 Nos SGCT firing cards and 1 no of IGDPS Module found faulty. Referred to the manual for replacement procedure. It was advised to change all the (one arm of rectifier bridge is consists of three series thyristors) the thyristor cards at a time.ie,2 sets of integrated thyristor firing cards, consisiting of three cards each.

- Checked the healthiness of all thyristors in the rectifier bridge and found healthy.

CONCLUSION

- Replacement of faulty cards- SGCT Firing Card : 2 sets of 3 cards each

: Card No:80173-109-01 : Make: Mitsubishi Electric Company.

- IGDPSM :1 No : Card No:80026-044-06 : Make: Rockwell

The requirements and the contact person details mailed to Mr.Ajay Alias, Station Manager.

PROCUREMENT OF SPARES

- Conformed the non-availability of cards at RO khorfakkan Stores on 15.04.2015 itself.- Upon enquiry throughout the day, it is learned that procuring new cards will take one month

to three months or more.- On 16.04.2015 as per information from station manager, checked the availability of cards at

any other plants with the help of stores In charge and found that Layyah Plant is having spare cards .Information passed to Station Manager.

- Finally at 20.00 Hrs all arrangements were organized Mr.Faizal Sarkal to collect the spare cards from layyah.

- Along with Station manager, I went to collect the cards from layyah power plant. After verifying the cards, gate pass prepared and took the cards to RO Khorfakkan and reached the plant early morning 03:00 hrs on 17.04.2015.Kept the Cards at a safe place.

IGDPSM SGCT FRING CARD

FAULT RECTIFICATION WORK – 17-04-2015 AT 08:00 Hrs

- Started organising the work at 8.00 hrs in the morning. List given to supporting team for additional tools and equipment’s to be arranged. Air Blower, Vacuum Cleaner, Electrical Contact Cleaner, Brushes.

- Control power supply switched OFF.- Ensured the IGDPS module is not having any power supply.- Noted down all the connection details to the IGDPS Module in the register.- Removed the tying clips to the connecting cables- Disconnected from respective terminals- Unscrewed the 4 no’s fixing bolts- Unpacked the new IGDPS module pack.- ALL CARDS TO BE HANDLED CAREFULLY.THE INTERNAL PORTION SHOULD NOT BE

TOUCHED.ANY STATIC CHARGE CAN DESTROY THE CARD COMPONENTS.BODY STATIC CHARGE SHOULD BE DISCHARGED BEFORE TOUCHING THE CARD AND HOLD THE CARDS

Page 5: VFD1 MAINTENACE REPOR T RO KHOR

BY ITS SIDES SUCH A WAY THAT IINSIDE PORTION IS EXCLUDED.THE USE OF GROUNDED WRIST STRAP IS MOST RECOMENDED

- Screwed the new card to the position.

Work under progress

Faulty SGCT Cards removed Faulty IGDPS module

Page 6: VFD1 MAINTENACE REPOR T RO KHOR

- Noted down connection details to the 6 SGCT firing cards. The optical fibre cables connected to the boards should be carefully handled; its bending radius should not be less than 50 mm.

- Before going ahead with fixing the new SGCT firing cards, clean the panel with air blower and vacuum cleaner. Use of these two equipment’s should be made carefully. Also clean the heat sinks of the removed cards properly.

- Unpack the cards carefully and keep the Electrical joint compound safely. See the instruction manual included. Follow the procedure as per the instruction manual for removal and fixing the cards.

- Check healthiness of all thyristors of the new cards.- Re-connect the input power connection to the IGDPS module.- Take care not to connect the output power cables to Double ensure the proper tightness

of the clamp by checking the indicating washer turning resistance.- Upon completion of fixing the thyristors, Re connect all optical fibre cables and power

cables as per noted down earlier to the IGDPS module.- Ensure the panel is ready by all means, no tools or clothes should not be their inside the

panel.- Switch On the Control power Supply- Check the output voltages of the IGDPS module.- After ensuring the correct output voltage reconnect the cables to the output terminals as

per noted down in the register.- Checked the LED s indications in the SGCT cards, found correct.- RESET fault in the display/controller Unit. Fault got RESET.- Cleaned the rest of the panels and all filters.- Closed all the panels, following the mechanical interlocks.- Closed the VFD isolator- Charged the 6.6 KV breaker- Found the VFD Ready Indication.- Given clearance to start the plant at 16.00 Hrs.- During the starting of the motor one person was kept at the motor end to observe

abnormality if any. One person was at 6.6 KV breaker and two persons at VFD. At 17:00 Hrs VFD started and found Start up and all parameters normal.

- Kept the VFD under observation for 8 hours.- Found all parameters normal for rest of the operation and successfully concluded.
