Temporary power connection do's and don'ts

 

Do’s :

  1. Ensure taking a work permit from the site in charge and conduct a Tool Box Talk.
  2. All electrical jobs to be conducted by a certified electrician.
  3. Ensure all the equipment is flameproof.
  4. Equipment that operates in three-phase power should have double neutral earthing.
  5. The use of an Earth-leakage circuit breaker is a must for all the equipment.
  6. The current rating for all equipment should not be greater than 30Amps.
  7. Ensure use of proper rating Direct On Line Motor Starter in individual machines.
  8. Ensure use of proper armored cables for the main power connection.
  9. If there are cable lying on the road crossings or pathways should be covered and concealed to protect them from physical damage.
  10. Cables without any joints should be used at all times.
  11. Cables should be laid above the ground to the maximum possible extend.
  12. Electrical connections should be kept clean, dry, and tight at all times.
  13. Ensure all power supplies are switched off from the feeder pillar immediately if the equipment is not in use on a daily basis.
  14. Maintenance person should be informed after completing the job if there is no requirement for the temporary power.

Don’ts :

  1. Don’t use power supply above 24 V inside confined spaces.
  2. Do not lay the unarmored cable on the ground
  3. Do not twist and carry connections between two cables.
  4. Do not keep a temporary feeder pillar near water.
  5. Do not sublet any temporary connection to another contractor.
  6. Do not increase the load without informing the electrical maintenance department for a temporary power supply.

Control System Of Turbine - Failure & Maintenance

Image
Control System The turbine control system describes the control over the opening of control valves corresponding to demand signals, and steam flows into the turbine with the help of a governing system that facilitates the operation of the turbo set in an interconnected grid system. Governing system is responsible for various function such as speed & load control functions, the start-up/shut-down controls, the over-speed control, turbine stress calculation, to control the initial run-up and synchronization of the Unit, to assists in matching the power generated to that demanded by responding to system frequency changes, to regulate the steam control valves position (and hence the load generated)in response to signal from the operator or from the load dispatch Centre, to restrict the speed rise within acceptable limits should the unit get disconnected (islanding) from the lgridoad and some protective trip functions. With continuous research and developments in modern turbine technolo

 The secret recipe of the growth story at Minimac Syste ms has been its capability to drive technological advancement in the field of contamination control for lubrication reliability. Research and development on technology and products have always been the key reason to keep the Minimac products a step ahead of its competitors in the market. Technological development has been one of the core competencies which Minimac possesses, thereby ensuring a definite competitive advantage. Contaminations in lubricants are of various types and characteristics depending on the lubricant, equipment application, ambient conditions, age of equipment, etc. In order to control, separate or eliminate the contamination, there are multiple techniques. Each technique has pros and cons and hence there is no single technology that can be considered universally better than others. ​ Minimac Systems over the years has become equipped with almost all the technologies which are required for contaminat

Storage Management of Oil Products and its Importance.

Image
Product storage is an important criterion for any segment of products. It plays a vital role in the longevity of the products, every product in any form has a certain life period and this life period forms the baseline of the product. Coming to the lubricating oil industry, product life period plays an important role in the smooth running of the machinery and the plant. As these oils play a very important role in the day to day functioning of critical machinery, so if not maintained properly these can lead to the breakdown of machinery thereby leading to a shutdown of the plant which leads to the incurrence of huge loss. Therefore it is very important that these oils should be used well in advance before their life period expires. We can hereby pen down certain prerequisite conditions for storage of lubricants: 1.  Pre usage Inspection : It is mandatory to verify their performance properties & conditions with oil analysis for the oils that have been kept for a long pe
