The Heavy Water Plant in Kota, Rajasthan is India's first indigenous heavy water plant based on the girdler sulphide process. It was commissioned in 1982 with a capacity to produce 85 metric tons of heavy water annually. The plant uses electricity supplied by the nearby Rajasthan Atomic Power Station and has a complex electrical system including transformers, circuit breakers, and other equipment to distribute power within the plant. Heavy water is used as a moderator and coolant in nuclear reactors for power generation.

HEAVY WATER
• It is a compound of deuterium and oxygen
• Heavy water, which looks ordinary water, is not radioactive and
hence dose not pose any problem of radioactivity
• Heavy water is used in the field of the nuclear energy as an
effective moderator and coolant in natural uranium based atomic
reactor meant for power generation or research purposes

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN HEAVY WATER
PLANT

9. Career Point Cares
• Electrical power to the Heavy Water Plant is supplied from the
Rajasthan Atomic Power Station situated nearby
• The power is received at the switchyard in the main receiving
station with a supply voltage of 220 KV
• The supply is carried up to the power transformers with the help
of Isolators & Circuit Breakers
• The power transformers step down the voltage to a level of 6.6
KV
• This 6.6 KV from the LV side of the transformers is connected to
the 6.6 KV main bus From here the power is distributed to
various loads through the 6.6 KV rating Lochs

10. Career Point Cares

• All the H.T. motors (6.6 KV motors) in the plant are fed from the
MRS. The protective schemes for these motors are also provided
in the MRS

POWER TRANSFORMERS
• A power transformer is a device that consists of a coil wrapped around an
electromagnet that transfers electricity from one circuit to another without
changing the frequency of the electric energy. Although the frequency of
the electrical energy isn't changed, the voltage and current commonly
change when passing through
• A transformer is a static machine used for transforming power from one
circuit to another without changing frequency
• Transformer operates on ac supply
• Transformer works on the principle of mutual induction

14. Career Point Cares
Types of Transformer
• Step Up Transformer & Step Down Transformer
• Three Phase Transformer & Single Phase Transformer
• Electrical Power Transformer, Distribution Transformer &
Instrument Transformer
• Two Winding Transformer & Auto Transformer
• Outdoor Transformer & Indoor Transformer
• Oil Cooled & Dry Type Transforme
• Core type, Shell type & Berry type transformer

15. Career Point Cares
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
• automatic device for stopping the flow of current in an electric
circuit as a safety measure
• As the modern power system deals with huge currents, the
spacial attention should be given during designing of circuit
breaker to safe interruption of arc produced during the
operation of circuit breaker
• Circuit breaker is basically a mechanical device used to make
or break an electrical circuit under normal & abnormal
conditions

Types of Circuit Breaker
• Oil circuit breaker
• Air circuit breaker
• SF6 circuit breaker
• Vacuum circuit breaker

SF6 Circuit Breaker
• A circuit breaker in which the current carrying contacts operate in
slphur hexafluoride or SF6 gas is known as an SF6 circuit breaker

LIGHTNING ARRESTORS
• A lightning arrester is a device used on electrical power
systems and telecommunications systems to protect the
insulation and conductors of the system from the damaging
effects of lightning.
• The typical lightning arrester has a high-voltage terminal and a
ground terminal

20. Career Point Cares
EARTHING SWITCHES
• Earthing switch connect the live parts and line conductors and
earth
• Earthing switch is used to earth the live parts during
maintenance and during testing
• During maintenance although circuit is open still there are some
voltages on line due to which capacitance between line and
earth is charged. Before proceeding to maintenance work the
voltage s discharged to earth, by closing the earth switch.

21. Career Point Cares
INSULATORS
• Electrical Insulator must be used in electrical system to prevent
unwanted flow of current to the earth from its supporting points
• The insulator plays a vital role in electrical system. Electrical
Insulator is a very high resistive path through which practically no
current can flow. In transmission and distribution system, the
overhead conductors are generally supported by supporting
towers or poles
• The towers and poles both are properly grounded. So there must
be insulator between tower or pole body and current carrying
conductors to prevent the flow of current from conductor to earth
through the grounded supporting towers or poles.

22. Career Point Cares
Properties of Insulating Material
• It must be mechanically strong enough to carry tension and
weight of conductors
• It must have very high dielectric strength to withstand the
voltage stresses in High Voltage system
• It must possesses high Insulation Resistance to prevent leakage
current to the earth
• The insulating material must be free from unwanted impurities
• There physical as well as electrical properties must be less
effected by changing temperature

electricity. DG sets are used in places that have no connection to
power grid, and as emergency power-supply if the grid fails.

• Anything that turns electricity into motion, meaning electrical
energy into mechanical energy, is called an electric motor

Induction Motors
• Induction Motor is perhaps the most common type of electric
motor
• It does not have a commutator or brushes
• It is used in newer diesel trains, industrial applications,
pumps, compressors, fans, dishwashers, and countless other
things
• An asynchronous motor type of an induction motor is an AC
electric motor in which the electric current in the rotor needed
to produce torque is obtained by electromagnetic induction
from the magnetic field of the stator winding

U.P.S (Uninterruptible power supply)
• uninterruptible power source, UPS or battery and flywheel
backup
• electrical apparatus that provides emergency
• power to a load when the input power source or mains power
fails UPS differs from an auxiliary or emergency power system
or standby generator in that it will provide near-instantaneous
protection from input power interruptions, by supplying
energy stored in batteries
