This document discusses DC motors, including their basic parts and working principles. A DC motor converts electrical energy to mechanical energy using electromagnetic principles. It consists of a rotor and stator, with the rotor containing windings that spin when current is passed through in the presence of a magnetic field. The document compares DC motors to generators and lists different types of motors, explaining the basic operation of a simple DC motor.
The document discusses DC machines and their components and operation. It covers:
1) The basic principles of electromechanical energy conversion in DC machines including generation of electromotive force through Faraday's law of induction and development of torque when current carrying conductors are placed in a magnetic field.
2) The construction of DC machines including the field system, armature, commutator, and armature windings.
3) Equations for calculating induced emf, terminal voltage, torque, and motor/generator characteristics based on the machine components and operating parameters.
DC machines can be generators or motors. DC generators convert mechanical energy to DC voltage and current using magnetic induction. They have an armature that rotates inside magnetic fields produced by poles. The armature is connected to a commutator that changes the alternating voltage induced in the armature to pulsating DC voltage. DC motors convert electrical energy to mechanical energy by supplying DC power to an armature within magnetic fields, and are used widely in applications. Major parts include the rotor (armature) and stator (field coils).
The document discusses DC machines which can operate as either motors or generators depending on the direction of power flow. A DC machine consists of a static electromagnetic or permanent magnetic field and a rotating armature. The field produces a magnetic medium and the armature produces voltage and torque under the action of the magnetic field. An advantage of DC motors is their speed is easy to control over a wide range, while DC generators are now quite rare. Most DC machines have AC voltages and currents internally but produce DC outputs via a commutator mechanism.
The document summarizes electric traction systems used for railways. It discusses the types of electric traction which include DC traction using direct current from overhead lines or third rails, and AC traction using alternating current from overhead lines. It describes the components of electric locomotives like transformers, rectifiers, inverters, traction motors. It also discusses track electrification systems like single catenary construction and compound catenary construction. The document provides an overview of the key elements of electric traction systems used for rail transport.
Electric traction systems use electrical power to provide traction for railways, trams, and trolleys. The key components of an electric traction system include traction substations that transform and rectify power, overhead wiring to transmit current, pantographs or trolley poles on vehicles to collect current, track to complete the circuit, and traction motors on vehicles powered by the collected current. Electric traction systems offer advantages over other systems like steam engines in terms of lower operating costs, lack of smoke and gas emissions, lower maintenance costs, faster starting and acceleration due to high starting torque of DC and AC series motors used, and regenerative braking that feeds energy back into the system.
DC machines operate on the principles of electromagnetic induction and force. They have commutators, field windings, and armature windings. DC machines can operate as motors or generators depending on the direction of power flow. Speed in DC motors can be controlled through methods like armature voltage control, field control, and armature resistance control. DC generators have open-circuit, load, and external characteristics that define their performance based on variables like terminal voltage, field current, and load current. Efficiency is impacted by losses such as copper losses and mechanical losses.
Electric traction involves using electric power for traction systems like railways and trams. It provides advantages over steam and diesel traction like higher power-to-weight ratio, regenerative braking, and lower emissions. Common voltages used include 1.5kV DC, 25kV AC. Traction motors are usually DC or induction types. Electrification requires overhead wires or third rails to transmit power. India uses mainly 25kV AC overhead systems like other large networks. Electric traction is more energy efficient and reduces dependence on fossil fuels.
1) DC generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy through Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. When a conductor moves through a magnetic field, an EMF is induced in the conductor.
2) The main components of a DC generator are the yoke, field electromagnets, armature, commutator, and brushes. The armature is wound with coils and rotates within the magnetic field produced by the field electromagnets to generate an EMF.
3) As the armature rotates, the commutator and brushes are used to periodically reverse the direction of current in the external circuit, thereby producing direct current. Losses in the generator arise from copper, iron, and mechanical components

This document describes an automatic phase changer circuit that can shift the load to an alternate power phase if the voltage drops below a certain level in one of the phases. The circuit uses three identical sets that each correspond to one of the three phases (R, Y, B). Each set includes a transformer, comparator, transistor and relay. The transformer steps down the voltage which is then rectified and used as input for the comparator. The comparator compares this voltage to a reference voltage and triggers the transistor and relay if the phase voltage is low, shifting the load to another phase with sufficient voltage. This automatic switching prevents equipment downtime if one phase loses power.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Maintenance Service Shop
Introduction
Maintenance, repair, and overhaul involve fixing any sort of mechanical, plumbing or electri-
cal device should it become out of order or broken (known as repair, unscheduled, or casualty
maintenance). It also includes performing routine actions which keep the device in working
order (known as scheduled maintenance) or prevent trouble from arising (preventive mainte-
nance). MRO may be defined as, "All actions which have the objective of retaining or restoring
an item in or to a state in which it can perform its required function. The actions include the
combination of all technical and corresponding administrative, managerial, and supervision
actions.

1.1 winding shop
A step motor is a constant output power transducer, where power is defined as
torque multiplied by speed. This means motor torque is the inverse of motor speed. To help
understand why a step motor’s power is independent of speed, we need to construct
(figuratively) an ideal step motor,
An ideal step motor would have zero mechanical friction, its torque would be
proportional to ampere-turns and its only electrical characteristic would be inductance.
Ampere-turns simply mean that torque is proportional to the number of turns of wire in the
motor’s stator multiplied by the current passing through those turns of wire.
Anytime there are turns of wire surrounding a magnetic material such as the iron in the motor’s
stator, it will have an electrical property called inductance. Inductance describes the energy
stored in a magnetic field anytime current passes through this coil of wire.

1.3 Battery Shop
An electricbatteryis a device consisting of two or moreelectrochemicalcellsthat convert stored
chemical energy into electrical energy. Each cell has a positive terminal, orcathode, and a
negative terminal, oranode. The terminal marked positive is at a higher electrical potential en-
ergy than is the terminal marked negative. The terminal marked positive is the source of elec-
trons that when connected to an external circuit will flow and deliver energy to an external de-
vice. When a battery is connected to an external circuit,Electrolytesare able to move as ions
within, allowing the chemical reactions to be completed at the separate terminals and so deliver
energy to the external circuit. It is the movement of those ions within the battery which allows
current to flow out of the battery to perform work.[1]Although the termbatterytechnically
means a device with multiple cells, single cells are also popularly called batteries.

equipments apart from engine). The LED Panel displays the overload, auxiliary generator
failure, hot engine, rectilinear fuse blown, etc. The battery ammeter shows the charging
state of the batteries. REV: Field wiring goes to reverser (REV) and hence it is used to
control the polarity of the field which in turn controls the direction of train. BKT: It is a
switch which in one direction is used to motor the loco while in other it is used for dy-
namic braking. Microprocessor based Control Unit: On-board microprocessors control
engine speed, fuel injection, and excitation of the alternator. These computers also inter-
connect with improved systems to detect slipping or sliding of the driving wheels, pro-
ducing faster correction and improved adhesion. An additional function of the micropro-
cessor is to monitor performance of all locomotive systems, thereby increasing their reli-
ability and making the correction of problems easier. Hooter: It is a vigilance control de-
vice (VCD) to keep the driver alert. If the driver isn’t doing anything with the controls for
over a minute, the hooter ‘hoots’ and brings the engine speed to the normal speed (low)
without asking the driver. It can only be reset after 2 minutes and hence the driver will be
held responsible for delay in reaching the next station.
Fig.2.1 Control Panel of WG3A loco
Dynamic braking
It is the use of the electric traction motors of a railroad vehicle as generators when slow-
ing the vehicle. It is termed rheostatic if the generated electrical power is dissipated as
heat in brake grid resistors, and regenerative if the power is returned to the supply line.
16. 16
Dynamic braking lowers the wear of friction-based braking components, and additionally
regeneration can also lower energy consumption.
During braking, the motor fields are connected across either the main traction generator
(diesel-electric loco) or the supply (electric locomotive) and the motor armatures are
connected across either the brake grids or supply line. The rolling locomotive wheels turn
the motor armatures, and if the motor fields are now excited, the motors will act as gen-
erators.
For a given direction of travel, current flow through the motor armatures during braking
will be opposite to that during motoring. Therefore, the motor exerts torque in a direction
that is opposite from the rolling direction. Braking effort is proportional to the product of
the magnetic strength of the field windings, times that of the armature windings. In DLW
Locomotives the braking method used is rheostatic, i.e. the traction motors behave as
generators (separately excited) and their electrical power is dissipated in brake grid re-
sistors. This method is used for minimising speed of the loco. The loco actually comes to a
halt due to factors like air resistance, friction with the rail, etc.
2.2 Alternator
An alternator converts kinetic energy (energy of motion) into electrical energy. All re-
cently manufactured automobiles rely on alternators to charge the battery in the ignition
system and supply power to other electrical equipment. Alternators are sometimes called
AC generators because they generate alternating current (AC).
Electric current can be generated in two ways: The magnet may rotate inside the coil, or
the coil may rotate in a magnetic field created by a magnet. The component that remains
stationary is called the stator, and the component that moves is called the rotor. In alter-
nators, the coil is the stator and the magnet is the rotor. A source of mechanical power, i.e.
the diesel engine turns the rotor.
In WDM-3D and WDM-3A locos, the diesel engine’s mechanical output is used to run the
shaft of the Alternator. The alternating output of the Alternator is then rectified to DC via
solid-state rectifiers and is fed to traction motors (DC) that run the loco wheels. Thus
they operate on AC-DC Traction mechanism. WDG4 and WDP4 locos have AC-AC traction
with microprocessor control, i.e. AC Traction motors are used thus eliminating the mo-
17. 17
tor commutator and brushes The result is a more efficient and reliable drive that re-
quires relatively little maintenance and is better able to cope with overload conditions.
Why not feed direct DC to the traction motors via DC generators?
In a DC generator, the rotor is the coil. Alternators normally rotate the magnet,
which is lighter than the coil. Since alternators are built to spin the lighter component in-
stead of 10
the heavier one, they generally weigh only one-third as much as generators of the same
capacity. DC generators, in particular, require more maintenance because of wear on the
parts that brush against one another in the commutator switch and the stress of rotating
the heaviest component instead of the lightest. Also, when generators are run at higher
speeds, electricity tends to arc, or jump the gap separating metal parts. The arcing dam-
ages parts and could make generators hazardous to touch. Alternators can run at high
speeds without arcing problems.
Fig.2.2 Alternator
2.3 Traction Motor
It’s an electric motor providing the primary rotational torque of the engine, usually for
conversion into linear motion (traction).
Traction motors are used in electrically powered rail vehicles such as electric multiple
units and electric locomotives, other electric vehicles such as electric milk floats, eleva-
tors and conveyors as well as vehicles with electrical transmission systems such as die-
sel-electric and electric hybrid vehicles. Traditionally, these are DC series-wound motors,
usually running on approximately 600 volts.
18. 18
Fig.2.3 Traction motors
2.4 16 Cylinder Diesel Engine
It is an internal-combustion engine in which heat caused by air compression ignites the
fuel. At the instant fuel is injected into a diesel engine’s combustion chambers, the air in-
side is hot enough to ignite the fuel on contact. Diesel engines, therefore, do not need
spark plugs, which are required to ignite the air-fuel mixture in gasoline engines. The
Diesel engine has 16 cylinders. Pistons inside the cylinders are connected by rods to a
crankshaft. As the pistons move up and down in their cylinders, they cause the crankshaft
to rotate. The crankshaft’s rotational force is carried by a transmission to a drive shaft,
which turns axles, causing mechanical output. Eight 8V and four 2V Batteries are used in
series to run a more powerful starter motor, which turns the crankshaft to initiate igni-
tion in a diesel engine for the first time.

2.5 Master Control
It’s the unit that has the handles to regulate the speed of the loco as well as the direction
of motion. It has numbering from 0-9 and each increment causes rise in speed in forward
direction. It can also be used to reverse the direction of motion by pushing the handle in
the opposite sense. It is present on the control desk of the cab.
2.6 Cab
It’s the driver’s cabin with 2 control desks, the Control Panel (CP) and chairs for the driv-
er. The Cab is at one end of the locomotive with limited visibility if the locomotive is not
operated cab forward. Each control desk has the Independent SA9 brake for braking of
the engine alone and Auto Brake A9 for the braking of the entire loco. It also has the fol-
lowing components:
v LED Panel
v Buttons of various engine LED lights (front and side)
v Automatic sand throw button (to prevent sliding of wheels on inclined
tracks)
v Master Control
v Gauges to monitor booster air pressure and fuel & lube oil pressures.
v Speedometer
v Service Brakes (Independent and Auto brakes described above)
v Emergency Brake (Type of Air brake to halt the train in the distance
nearly equal to the length of the train, to be used only during an emergen-
cy)
2.7 Auxiliary Generator and Exciter
The Alternator has these two components. The exciter and the auxiliary generator consist
of two armatures on a single shaft. The auxiliary generator supplies a constant voltage of
around 72V for supplying power to charge the battery for the control equipment and to
power the locomotive lights. The Exciter supplies excitation for the main generator. Start-
ing of Engine The supply from the batteries is given to the exciter. The exciter has arma-
ture and field windings. Hence it starts rotating as it receives the supply voltage. The Ex-
20. 20
citer is coupled with the rotor of the alternator which in turn is connected with the pro-
peller shaft. When the propeller rotates at a particular rpm, the
engine gets started. It’s just like starting a bike. The ‘kick’ must be powerful enough to
start its engine. Later the engine runs on diesel oil (fuel). As soon as the engine starts, the
auxiliary generator also coupled with the alternator starts charging the batteries. Its po-
tential is maintained at ~72V.

2.8 Governor
It is the device that has the following functions:
1. To control engine speed
2. Deliver fuel (Diesel oil) according to load
3. To mediate electrical demand and diesel engine output.
2.9 Crank case exhauster
It is the device used to evacuate the diesel engine chamber.

2.10 Mechanical Assembly
All mechanical parts on the engine apart from the above mentioned units may be
grouped in this category. It essentially consists of:
v Base frame
v Wheels
v Air Brakes
v Batteries
v Sand Box
v Vacuum brakes
v Fuel tank (Loco fuel oil tank capacity is 3000L) etc
Air Braking System of Locomotives: On a train, the brake shoes are pressed directly
against the wheel rim. A compressor generates air pressure that is stored in air tanks.
Air hoses connect the brakes on all the train cars into one system. Applying air pressure
into the system releases the brakes, and releasing air pressure from the system applies
the brack.

Introduction
Electricity transmission is the process of transfer-
ring electrical energy to consumers. Electrical en-
ergy generated at power facilities is transmitted at
high voltages through overhead power lines and
cables.Thosetransmission lines connect to substa-
tionswhich transform the power to lowervoltages
for distribution to consumers through the distribu-
tion system.
4.1 From the Power Station to the Home
Inside a generating station, turbines use the driving force of water to set electrons in motion
and generate alternating current.
Fig 4.1 Electricity transmition from the power station to customer
Chapter

25. 25
Electricity from the power station has a long way to go before reaching your home.
1. The voltage of the current produced by a generating station can reach 13,800 volts, like
at the Robert-Bourassa generating facility.
2. Thanks to the voltage step-up transformer located in the generating station’s
switchyard, the electricity is transmitted at much higher voltages, from 44,000 to
765,000 volts.
3. Once in the transmission system, electricity from each generating station is combined
with electricity produced elsewhere.
4. The electricity passes through cables which are suspended from towers. These towers
are arranged in a series from the generating stations to source substations–which lower
the voltage–and then reach the satellite substations, which further reduce the voltage.
5. Leaving the satellite substations, electricity travels through underground lines. At some
distance from the substations, the distribution system goes from underground to over-
head, and transformers attached to poles lower the voltage one last time. Inside our
homes, we use either 120 volts to power our televisions, radios and other regular elec-
trical appliances, or 240 volts for the appliances that require a strong current like the
dryer or stove.
6. Electricity is consumed as soon as it is produced. It is transmitted at a very high speed,
close to the speed of light (300,000 km/s).

4.3 Elements of a substation
Substations generally have switching, protection and control equipment, and transformers.
In a large substation, circuit breakers are used to interrupt any short circuits or overload cur-
rents that may occur on the network. Smaller distribution stations may use recloser circuit
breakers or fuses for protection of distribution circuits. Substations themselves do not usually
have generators, although a power plant may have a substation nearby. Other devices such as
capacitors and voltage regulators may also be located at a substation.
Substations may be on the surface in fenced enclosures, underground, or located in special-
purpose buildings. High-rise buildings may have several indoor substations. Indoor substations
are usually found in urban areas to reduce the noise from the transformers, for reasons of ap-
pearance, or to protect switchgear from extreme climate or pollution conditions.
Where a substation has a metallic fence, it must be properly grounded to protect people from
high voltages that may occur during a fault in the network. Earth faults at a substation can
cause a ground potential rise. Currents flowing in the Earth's surface during a fault can cause
metal objects to have a significantly different voltage than the ground under a person's feet;
this touch potential presents a hazard of electrocution
4.4 Step-up and Step-down Transformers
This is a very useful device, indeed. With it, we can easily multiply or divide voltage and cur-
rent in AC circuits. Indeed, the transformer has made long-distance transmission of electric
power a practical reality, as AC voltage can be “stepped up” and current “stepped down” for
reduced wire resistance power losses along power lines connecting generating stations with
loads. At either end (both the generator and at the loads), voltage levels are reduced by trans-
formers for safer operation and less expensive equipment. A transformer that increases voltage
from primary to secondary (more secondary winding turns than primary winding turns) is
called a step-up transformer. Conversely, a transformer designed to do just the opposite is
called a step-down transformer.
Step-up and step-down transformers for power distribution purposes can be gigantic in propor-
tion to the power transformers previously shown, some units standing as tall as a home. The
following photograph shows a substation transformer standing about twelve feet tall.

REVIEW:
∑ Transformers “step up” or “step down” voltage according to the ratios of primary to
secondary wire turns.
∑ A transformer designed to increase voltage from primary to secondary is called a step-up
transformer. A transformer designed to reduce voltage from primary to secondary is called
a step-down transformer.
∑ The transformation ratio of a transformer will be equal to the square root of its primary to
secondary inductance (L) ratio.
28. 28
∑
By being able to transfer power from one circuit to another without the use of interconnect-
ing conductors between the two circuits, transformers provide the useful feature of electri-
cal isolation.
Transformers designed to provide electrical isolation without stepping voltage and current
either up or down are called isolation transformers.
4.5 BUSBARS
It an electrical conductor, maintained at a specific voltage and capable of carrying a high
current, usually used to make a common connection between several circuits in a system
When numbers of generators or feeders operating at the same voltage have to be directly
connected electrically, bus bar is used as the common electrical component. Bus bars are
made up of copper rods operate at constant voltage. The following are the important bus bars
arrangements used at substations:
∑ Single bus bar system
∑ Single bus bar system with section alisation.
∑ Duplicate bus bar system
In large stations it is important that break downs and maintenance should interfere as little as
possible with continuity of supply to achieve this, duplicate bus bar system is used. Such a
system consists of two bus bars, a main bus bar and a spare bus bar with the help of bus cou-
pler, which consist of the circuit breaker and isolator.
In substations, it is often desired to disconnect a part of the system for general maintenance
and repairs. An isolating switch or isolator accomplishes this. Isolator operates under no load
condition. It does not have any specified current breaking capacity or current making capaci-
ty. In some cases isolators are used to breaking charging currents or transmission lines.
While opening a circuit, the circuit breaker is opened first then isolator while closing a circuit
the isolator is closed first, then circuit breakers. Isolators are necessary on supply side of cir-
29. 29
cuit breakers, in order to ensure isolation of the circuit breaker from live parts for the purpose
of maintenance.
A transfer isolator is used to transfer main supply from main bus to transfer bus by using bus
coupler (combination of a circuit breaker with two isolators), if repairing or maintenance of
any section is required.
4.6 CIRCUIT BREAKERS
A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical
circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Its basic function is to detect a fault
condition and interrupt current flow. Unlike a fuse, which operates once and then must be re-
placed, a circuit breaker can be reset (either manually or automatically) to resume normal oper-
ation. Circuit breakers are made in varying sizes, from small devices that protect an individual
household appliance up to large switchgear designed to protect high voltage circuits feeding an
entire city. There are different types of circuit breakers which are:-
1. Low-voltage circuit breakers
Low-voltage (less than 1,000 VAC) types are common in domestic, commercial and industrial
application, and include Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) and Molded Case Circuit Breaker
(MCCB).
Fig 4.4 Circuit breaker
2. Magnetic circuit breakers
Magnetic circuit breakers use a solenoid (electromagnet) whose pulling force increases
with the current. Certain designs utilize electromagnetic forces in addition to those of the
solenoid
30. 30
Fig 4.5 Magnetic circuit breakers
3 .Thermal magnetic circuit breakers
Thermal magnetic circuit breakers, which are the type found in most distribution boards, incor-
porate both techniques with the electromagnet responding instantaneously to large surges in
current (short circuits) and the bimetallic strip responding to less extreme but longer-term over-
current conditions. The thermal portion of the circuit breaker provides an "inverse time" re-
sponse feature, which trips the circuit breaker sooner for larger over currents.
Fig 4.6 Thermal magnetic circuit breakers
4. Common trip breakers
Three-pole common trip breaker for supplying a three-phase device. This breaker has a 2A rat-
ing. When supplying a branch circuit with more than one live conductor, each live conductor
must be protected by a breaker pole. To ensure that all live conductors are interrupted when
any pole trips, a "common trip" breaker must be used. These may either contain two or three
tripping mechanisms within one case, or for small breakers, may externally tie the poles to-
gether via their operating handles.
31. 31
Fig 4.7Three-pole common trip breaker
5. Air circuit breakers
Rated current up to 6,300 A and higher for generator circuit breakers. Trip characteristics are
often fully adjustable including configurable trip thresholds and delays. Usually electronically
controlled, though some modelsare microprocessor controlled via an integral electronic trip
unit, often used for main power distribution in large industrial plant, where the breakers are
arranged in draw-out enclosures for ease of maintenance.
Fig 4.8 Air circuit breakers
6. Vacuum circuit breakers
with rated current up to 6,300 A, and higher for generator circuit breakers. These breakers in-
terrupt the current by creating and extinguishing the arc in a vacuum container.
32. 32
Fig 4.9 Vacuum circuit breakers
7. Oil circuit breakers
A high-voltage circuit breaker in which the arc is drawn in oil to dissipate the heat and extin-
guish the arc; the intense heat of the arc decomposes the oil, generating a gas whose high pres-
sure produces a flow of fresh fluid through the arc that furnishes the necessary insulation to
prevent a restrike of the arc.
The arc is then extinguished, both because of its elongation upon parting of contacts and be-
cause of intensive cooling by the gases and oil vapor. They are further of two types: Bulk Oil
Circuit Breaker (BOCB) and Minimum Oil Circuit Breaker (MOCB).
Fig 4.10 Oil circuit breakers
8. Sulfur hexafluoride (Sf6) high-voltage circuit breakers
33. 33
A sulfur hexafluoride circuit breaker uses contacts surrounded by sulfur hexafluoride gas to
quench the arc. They are most often used for transmission-level voltages and may be incorpo-
rated into compact gas-insulated switchgear.
Fig 4.11 Sulfur hexafluoride (Sf6) high-voltage circuit breakers
4.7 ISOLATERS
In electrical engineering, a disconnector, disconnect switch or isolator switch is used to ensure
that an electrical circuit is completely de-energized for service or maintenance. Such switches
are often found in electrical distribution and industrial applications, where machinery must
have its source of driving power removed for adjustment or repair. High-voltage isolation
switches are used in electrical substations to allow isolation of apparatus such as circuit break-
ers, transformers, and transmission lines, for maintenance. The disconnector is usually not in-
tended for normal control of the circuit, but only for safety isolation. Disconnector can be op-
erated either manually or automatically (motorized disconnector).
Unlike load break switches and circuit breakers, disconnectors lack a mechanism for suppres-
sion of electric arc, which occurs when conductors carrying high currents are electrically inter-
rupted. Thus, they are off-load devices, intended to be opened only after current has been inter-
rupted by some other control device. Safety regulations of the utility must prevent any attempt
to open the disconnector while it supplies a circuit. Standards in some countries for safety may
require either local motor isolators or lockable overloads (which can be padlocked).
Disconnectors have provisions for a padlock so that inadvertent operation is not possible (lock-
out-tag out). In high-voltage or complex systems, these padlocks may be part of a trapped-key
interlock system to ensure proper sequence of operation. In some designs, the isolator switch
34. 34
has the additional ability to earth the isolated circuit thereby providing additional safety. Such
an arrangement would apply to circuits which inter-connect power distribution systems where
both ends of the circuit need to be isolated.
Fig 4.12 Isolaters circuit
4.8 INSULATORS
An electrical insulator is a material whose internal electric charges do not flow freely, and
therefore make it very hard to conduct an electric current under the influence of an electric
field. The insulator serves two purposes. They support the conductors (bus bar) and confine the
current to the conductors. The most common used material for the manufacture of insulator is
porcelain. There are several types of insulators (e.g. pin type, suspension type, post insulator
etc.) and their use in substation will depend upon the service requirement.
Different types of insulator are:-
∑ Pin type insulator
As the name suggests, the pin type insulator is mounted on a pin on the cross-arm on the pole.
There is a groove on the upper end of the insulator. The conductor passes through this groove
and is tied to the insulator with annealed wire of the same material as the conductor. Pin type
insulators are used for transmission and distribution of elec
tric power at voltages up to 33 kV. Beyond operating voltage of 33 kV, the pin type insulators
become too bulky and hence uneconomical.
35. 35
Fig 4.13Pin type insulator
∑ Suspension insulator
For voltages greater than 33 kV, it is a usual practice to use suspension type insulators shown
in Figure. Consist of a number of porcelain discs connected in series by metal links in the form
of a string. The conductor is suspended at the bottom end of this string while the other end of
the string is secured to the cross-arm of the tower. The number of disc units used depends on
the voltage.
Fig 4.14Suspension insulator
∑ Strain insulator
A dead end or anchor pole or tower is used where a straight section of line ends, or angles off
in another direction. These poles must withstand the lateral (horizontal) tension of the long
straight section of wire. In order to support this lateral load, strain insulators are used. For low
voltage lines (less than 11 kV), shackle insulators are used as strain insulators. However, for
high voltage transmission lines, strings of cap-and-pin (disc) insulators are used, attached to the
crossarm in a horizontal direction. When the tension load in lines is exceedingly high, such as
at long river spans, two or more strings are used in parallel.
36. 36
Fig 4.15Strain insulator
∑ Shackle insulator
In early days, the shackle insulators were used as strain insulators. But now a day, they are fre-
quently used for low voltage distribution lines. Such insulators can be used either in a horizon-
tal position or in a vertical position. They can be directly fixed to the pole with a bolt or to the
cross arm.
Fig 4.16Shackle insulator
4.9 RELAYS
In a power system it is inevitable that immediately or later some failure does occur somewhere
in the system. When a failure occurs on any part of the system, it must be quickly detected and
disconnected from the system. Rapid disconnection of faulted apparatus limits the amount of
damage to it and prevents the effects of fault from spreading into the system. For high voltage
circuits relays are employed to serve the desired function of automatic protective gear. The re-
lays detect the fault and supply the information to the circuit breaker.The electrical quantities
which may change under fault condition are voltage, frequency, current, phase angle. When a
short circuit occurs at any point on the transmission line the current flowing in the line increas-
es to the enormous value.This result in a heavy current flow through the relay coil, causing the
relay to operate by closing its contacts. This in turn closes the trip circuit of the breaker making
the circuit breaker open and isolating the faulty section from the rest of the system. In this way,
the relay ensures the safety of the circuit equipment from the damage and normal working of
37. 37
the healthy portion of the system.
Relay works on two main operating principles:-
∑ Electromagnetic Attraction
∑ Electromagnetic Induction
4.10 RELAY USED IN CONTROLLING PANEL OF SUBSTATION
∑ Differential Relay
A differential relay is one that operates when vector difference of the two or more electrical
quantities exceeds a predetermined value. If this differential quantity is equal or greater than
the pickup value, the relay will operate and open the circuit breaker to isolate the faulty sec-
tion.
Fig 4.17Differential Relay
∑ Over Current Relay
This type of relay works when current in the circuit exceeds the predetermined value. The ac
tuating source is the current in the circuit supplied to the relay from a current transformer.
These relay are used on A.C. circuit only and can operate for fault flow in the either direction.
This relay operates when phase to phase fault occurs.
38. 38
Fig 4.17Over Current Relay
∑ Earth Fault Relay
This type of relay sense the fault between the lines and the earth. It checks the vector sum of all
the line currents. If it is not equal to zero, it trips.
Fig 4.18Earth fault relay
∑ Tripping Relay
This type of relay is in the conjunction with main relay. When main relay sense any fault in the
system, it immediately operates the trip relay to disconnect the faulty section from the section.
Fig 4.19Tripping Relay
∑ Auxiliary Relay
39. 39
An auxiliary relay is used to indicate the fault by glowing bulb or showing various flags.
Fig 4.20Auxiliary relay
4.11 Capacitor bank
The load on the power system is varying being high during morning and evening which in-
creases the magnetization current. This result in the decreased power factor. The low power
factor is mainly due to the fact most of the power loads are inductive and therefore take lagging
currents. The low power factor is highly undesirable as it causes increases in current, resulting
in additional losses. So in order to ensure most favorable conditions for a supply system from
engineering and economic stand point it is important to have power factor as close to unity as
possible. In order to improve the power factor come device taking leading power should be
connected in parallel with the load. One of such device can be capacitor bank. The capacitors
draw a leading current and partly or completely neutralize the lagging reactive component of
load current.
Main functions of Capacitor Bank are:-
∑ Supply Reactive Power
∑ Improve Terminal Voltage
∑ Improve Power Factor
