ORGANISATION PROFILE

Neyveli, Home of the Neyveli Lignite Corporation, is today India’s energy

–bridge to the 21-century. Neyveli is a town located about 55 km east of
Cuddalore in the South Arcot district of Tamil Nadu. Pt.Nehru launched a
mining operations with his golden touch in May 1957. During the
construction of irrigation wells occurrence of lignite deposits at shallow
depths was noticed in Neyveli area. When systematic geological
investigations were taken up in the area, occurrence of lignite over an area of
260 sq.km. With reserves of 2100 million tones discovered. NLC has
achieved the objectives it has set for itself. Fulfilling its corporate mission to
be the leader in the industry. Neyveli Lignite Corporation is certified ISO

CHAPTER 2
CONTROL AND INTERLOCKS
2.1 ISOLATORS AND INTERLOCKS

10
2.1 i INTRODUCTION

The Isolators are OFF LOAD electrical device in the 230 KV and 400 KV
Switchyard. There are 3 different types of isolators available in the switchyard. All
the isolators both bus and line in 230Kv side are of Double break center operated.
All the bus isolators in 400Kv side are of Pantograph type. The line isolators in
400Kv side are of center break type. All the isolators are motor operated. All the
power contactors, switches, fuses, limit switches, aux. contacts, motor with gear
assembly etc. are housed in the Motor Operated Mechanism (MOM) box.

2.1 ii ISOLATOR CONTROL

The motor operated isolators can be operated remotely from control room or from
the local MOM box electrically by selecting the local / remote accordingly only
when certain interlocks (conditions) are satisfied.. Normally this switch is set for
remote operation only. In case of failure of remote operation or for test purposes
local operation is done. A fly back control switch is provided in the control panel
for operating the isolators. The green lamp in the control panel will glow indicating
that the isolator is open. A red lamp would indicate the closed condition of the
isolator.

2.1 iii MANUAL OPERATION

In addition to electrical operation, manual operation with an operating handle is

also possible. When all the interlock conditions are satisfied if the push button
MPB in the MOM box is pressed the main solenoid coil MSC is energised. The
plunger shaft of the solenoid coil normally rests in the groove of the castle key
interlock shaft (KIMC). On energisation of the solenoid coil the plunger shaft is
lifted up, thus releasing the castle key. The castle key can now be turned in the
anticlockwise direction to release the mechanical interlock latch, which would be

11
normally act as stopper for the insertion of manual operation handle.

The manual operation handle can now be inserted through the opening provided
for and turned, to close or open the isolator. After the manual operation is carried
out the castle key is to be put back in position and turned in the clockwise direction
restoring the condition needed for remote/local operation by electrically.

2.1 iv ISOLATOR INTERLOCKS

The interlocks are implemented for safe guarding the equipments and for personal
safety. The isolator can be closed / opened electrically, only when certain interlocks
(conditions) are satisfied.

For 230Kv bus isolator 89A i.e. I bus isolator can be opened eclectically
from remote if the following conditions are satisfied.

a. KIMC (Key interlock main coil) key i.e. isolator manual operation

key shall be in the front panel of the MOM box and turned 'ON'.

b. Over load relay shall be in reset condition.

c. II bus isolator (89B) is open.

d. Breaker (52) is open

e. Local / remote switch is in remote position

f. Transfer bus isolator ( 89D) is open

The I bus isolator (89A) can be closed electrically from remote if the following
conditions are satisfied along with the above mentioned conditions (a to f). (If the
element is being taken in to service from shutdown).

g. Earth switch (E1) is open

12
 h. CVT-A isolator in closed in condition i.e. 230Kv I bus shall be in

charged condition.

If the element is already in service on transfer bus then 89A can be opened if
transfer bus isolator (89D) is in closed condition, bus transfer isolator (89TrA) in
closed condition along with the above mentioned conditions ‘a to e’. If the element
is already in service on transfer bus then 89A can be closed if transfer bus isolator
(89D) is in closed condition, bus transfer isolator(89TrA) in closed condition and
the above mentioned conditions ‘a to e’ and “g&h’.

2.1 v ISOLATOR OPERATION:

For both the opening and closing operations 3phase AC and 220V DC switches
shall be in ON condition along with fuses. Fuse rating for 220V DC is 2A and for 3
phase AC is 4A. As soon as closing command is given from remote, Bus Bar
Protection CT switching relay 89AX (In CTMK) will pickup and extend DC
supply to the closing contact in MOM box.

The open indication of 89A will vanish immediately as soon as command is given
provided all the above interlocks are satisfied. Close indication is in series with
89A aux. Contact (NO) and 89AX(NO). When aux. contacts have changed while
closing, 89AY relay will pick up (In relay panel).

The open indication will come when the aux. Contacts are changed and 89AX is
reset. The open indication is in series with aux. contact (NC) and 89AX (NC).
When aux. contacts have changed while opening, 89AY relay will reset. This 89AY
relay is used for isolator contact multiplication purpose. A typical control circuit
for a 1st bus isolator is shown in fig 1.1.1

Fig 1.1.1 FIRST BUS ISOLATOR CONTROL CIRCUIT DIAGRRAM

14
2.2 BREAKER CONTROL CIRCUIT
There are two types of breakers available in the 230/400 Kv yard; one is gang
operated and another is individual pole operated. In the gang operated type all the
three poles are controlled by a single operating mechanism. In the individual pole
type, each pole will have its own operating mechanism. At switchyard three
different types of operating mechanisms are available. One is Spring Charging
mechanism, another is Hydraulic mechanism (oil) and the third one is Pneumatic
(air) mechanism.

Each breaker irrespective of the type will have one number Closing coil (CC) and
two numbers of Tripping coils(TC1 & TC2). Since opening of the breaker in case
of a fault in the system is more important as a redundancy two nos. of Trip coils
are provided. Each TC will be monitored for its healthiness by Trip coil
supervision relays (95,195). When the breaker is in open condition two relays will
monitor the TC healthiness via breaker NC aux. Contact. When in service one
relay will monitor the TC healthiness via breaker NO aux. Contact. When there is
any problem in the TC then its circuit supervision relay will sense and give alarm.
These trip coil supervision relays contacts are used in the closing circuit interlock
of the breaker. If any TC is unhealthy then the breaker will not close.

Breaker can be closed from the remote when the following interlocks are satisfied.

1. Both the earth switches E1&E2 are kept opened.

2. All the trip relays 86, including the Bus Bar protection relay 96 are in reset

condition.

3. Trip coil supervision relays are reset.

4. Local- remote switch in remote condition.

15
5. All the synchronizing conditions are satisfied.

6. Spring charged or sufficient oil or air pressure availability shall be ok depending

on the type of breaker.

2.2 i LOCAL BREAKER BACKUP PROTECTION

If any protection relay senses the fault and initiates a tripping via trip relay contacts
then the breaker TC1 & TC2 will pickup and breaker will open. If the breaker fails
to open even after receiving tripping signal then the fault will not get cleared and
lead to unwanted damages to other related equipments. To avoid such things one
backup protection for the breaker is available which is called Local Breaker
Backup protection (LBB) .

When the element is in service all the three phases current will be passing thro’ the
LBB relay. As soon as the trip relay picks up one of its contact will extend DC
supply to the trip coils. Simultaneously one more contact of the trip relay will
extend the DC supply to the LBB relay. As soon as DC supply is extended to the
LBB relay, the LBB relay will pickup and initiates a timer 2/50Z, which starts
counting 200ms. The TC1&TC2 will pickup as soon as DC supply was extended to
them and breaker will open. When the breaker opens the current thro’ the LBB
relay will become zero and the timer 2/50Z resets. But if the breaker did not open
then the current in that pole will be flowing thro’ LBB relay and after 200ms time
was lapsed the timer 2/50Z will pickup and initiates a contact in the Bus Bar
Protection DC circuit which in turn trips all the elements connected that bus where
the faulty breaker was connected. When all the elements connected to the bus
including the Bus coupler opens then the corresponding bus will become dead the
fault will be cleared. Maintenance personnel can access the breaker, which was not
opened and can start working.

16
2.3 FEEDERS DISTANCE PROTECTION

Basically these relays operate on the principle of Impedance (ratio V/I)

measurement. Any conductor used in the transmission line will have its own
characteristic impedance the value of which will be given by the manufacturer of
the conductor. When ever a fault occurs in the line the impedance will reduce
depending upon the fault current. A relay, which measures this impedance
continuously, will operate and trip the feeder to clear the fault. Theoretically the
V/I ratio measured will be constant for any particular fault position and will only
vary if the position of the fault with respect to the relay point varies. Thus nearer
the fault to the relay lower would be the ratio V/I and conversely the farther the
fault from the relay higher would be the ratio V/I. Hence this impedance relays are
also called as Distance protection relays.

2.4 BUS BAR PROTECTION (BBP)

2.4 i INTRODUCTION
BBP is provided for bus faults like flashover at the isolators, at the circuit breaker
bushings, CT and PT faults. A large proportion of bus bar faults results from
human error rather than a switchgear components failure. It also covers the failure
of insulators of isolators and breakers during operation and mal-operation of earth
switches.

2.4 ii BBP SYSTEM

The BBP relays should be sensitive so that the bus faults are sensed and cleared
instantaneously to ensure grid stability. In BBP scheme there are three zones viz.
zone-A, zone-B, zone-C covering first bus, second bus and Tr. bus. The BBP
scheme is based on differential protection principle, which compares the
magnitude and phase of the circulating currents in the respective zones of
protection.
17
The BBP circuit is the combination of CTs and relays which are used to detect
faults occurring within the bus bar zones and which initiates tripping of all those
circuit breakers connected in that zone so that the concerned bus will become dead
to isolate this faults.

2.4 iii BBP CT CIRCUIT

When BBP operates in any one of the busses, all elements connected to the faulty
bus including bus coupler trip. If the Transfer bus breaker is in service, it also gets
tripped. BBP will be always selective irrespective of the configuration. Each zone
has got three BBP Differential relays namely 87A, 87B, 87C. All the BBP CTs of
that zone are connected differentially with these relays. Two secondary cores
namely Core4 and Core 5 of the Switchyard CTs (1600A/1A in 230Kv side and
2000A/1A in 400kv side) of each element are used for the BBP. Core-4 is for Main
zone and Core 5 is for Check Zone.

Whenever an element is connected to the 1st bus or 2nd bus or Transfer bus
accordingly CT switching relays 89Ax or 89BX or 89Dx housed in the CT
Marshalling Kiosk of the respective bay in outdoor yard will pickup. CT secondary
of the BBP core 4 will be connected to the Main Zone differential relay circuits
Zone A, Zone B or Zone C through the 89Ax or 89BX or 89DX relay contacts.
BBP Core 5 will be directly connected to the Check Zone Differential relay
circuits. This check zone is to ensure that the fault has really occurred in the bus.

For bus coupler Breaker tripping, the BBP core of the B/C CT on the 1 st bus side
of the breaker will be connected to Zone-B and the BBP core of the B/C CT on the
2nd bus side of the breaker will be connected to Zone-A. For the transfer bus main
zone core is connected to zone-A or zone-B through 89TRAx or 89TRBx and core
2 is connected to zone-C.

18
2.4 iv OPERATION OF BBP
During normal operation secondary current will circulate in the zone and there will
not be any differential current passing thro' differential relay 87. In case of fault
the differential current flow thro' the respective relays which will initiate in case of
open circuit of any one of the CTs or when the unbalance current increases due to
the saturation of the any of the CTs differential current will flow thro' differential
relays which will initiate unnecessary tripping. To avoid mal operation like this
BBP supervisory relays 95A,B,C and CH are provided. These relays are connected
parallel to the differential relay 87. For low differential current flow thro' 87 & 95,
95 relay picks up earlier than 87 relays which will short the differential relay 87
after a time delay. An annunciation “Bus Bar Protection Zone A/ B /C Faulty “ will
come. Immediately the concerned element has to be checked and problem shall be
corrected otherwise till 95 relay is in picked up condition Busbar Protection of that
zone will be out of service. But when actual fault comes the diff.current flow will
be high and 87 picks up faster than 95. The diff. Relay 87 picks up instantaneously
before 95 relay shorts this relay. The connections of the BBP circuits are shown in
the fig.2.4.1 to 2.4.3.

2.4 v BBP ACTUATION SCHEME

Each element has got a BBP relay (96) which will trip the particular element. In
case when the BBP operates 96 relay of all the elements connected to the particular
bus have to energise including B/C. For each zone BBP cut out switch is provided
in the control panel. In case BBP operates in any one of the buses, differential
relays 87CH along with 87A or 87B or 87 C will energise 96 relay of allthe
elements connected to that bus including B/C.

19
In case LBB operates for anyone of the elements 2/50z and 50z will initiate BBP.
87 CH check zone differential relay which get energized from separate CT core to
ensure that really a fault has occurred and BBP should not act for false pick up of
the main zone 87A, 87B, 87C differential relays. If the 87C Check Zone relay is
not available then for any false pick up of the Zone A,B,C differential relays
87A,87B or 87C the BBP will act.
