1.3. Safety Practices
Safety practices are generally written methods outlining how to perform
a task with minimum risk to people, equipment, materials, environment,
and processes. Safety is not a simple word just ignore in the workshop or
site which cause serious injuries. We had to always work with High
voltage in workplace or site. “High voltage” is a relatively arbitrary term,
used to refer to electrical energy large enough to cause damage to
humans. Engineer and supervisor first priority is fulfil safety
measurements in the workshop and ensure safe place or environment to workers. Workers have right to
work in safe area and Employer is obliged to provide adequate safety measurements. If there is no such
sufficient safety, Supervisor prohibited enforcing workers working under insecure area.
Most electrical accidents result from one of the following three factors:
Unsafe equipment or installation
Unsafe environment
Unsafe work practices
Some ways to prevent these accidents are through the use of insulation, guarding, grounding, electrical
protective devices, and safe work practices.

2.2. Plan and inspection section
Plans are a set of drawings or two-dimensional diagrams used to describe a place or object. An electrical
drawing, is a type of technical drawing that shows information about power, lighting, and communication
for an engineering or architectural project. According to the information obtained by the design section,
the circuits were drawn here. They often use AutoCAD for this purpose. In drawing these circuit, there
should be wide knowledge of the electrical symbol and AutoCAD software. In Electrical Drawing,
Electrical Circuit can be mainly classified in to two part as shown below,
1. Power Circuit
A power circuit is defined as any circuit used to carry electricity that operates a load.
2. Control Circuit
A control circuit is a special type of circuit used to control the operation of a completely separate power
circuit.

2.3.2. Circuit Beaker
A circuit breaker is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit
from damage caused by excess current, Overload and short circuit. Function of circuit breaker is to detect
fault condition and, by interrupting continuity to immediately disconnect electrical flow.
Circuit Breaker can be divide as follow,
Voltage Level Installation
High voltage circuit breaker (>72kV)
Medium voltage circuit breaker (1-72kV)
Low voltage circuit breaker (<1kV)
Arc quenching (rapid cooling) media
An arc quenching medium is a substance, such as air or transformer oil, used in circuit-breakers to
extinguish electrical arcs. A special attention is created a circuit breaker to safety interrupt for the arc
quenching.

2.3.3. Earth Leakage Relay
Earth Leakage Relay is a microcontroller device meant to measure low level of leakage current and isolate
the faulty circuit from the system. The function of ELR is detected low level of leakage current by using
CBCT (Core balanced transformer) and send the signal to the shunt coil or UVT of Circuit breaker for
disconnecting the load from the supply as soon as leakage current has occurred.
Figure 23 - EFR & CBCT
.
The core-balance current transformer (or CBCT) is normally of the ring type, through the center of which
is passed cable that forms the primary winding. An earth leakage relay, connected to the secondary
winding, is energized only when there is residual current in the primary system.
30. 24
2.3.3.2.Wiring Diagram of ELR
Break CB using shunt release (MX)
A Shunt Trip coil was used to remotely trip a circuit breaker and some switch disconnectors. A Shunt
Trip coil had to have a voltage applied to it to trip the device. An example of an application for a Shunt
Trip would be for load shedding.
Break CB using Undervoltage release (MN)
An Under Voltage coil was used to remotely trip a circuit breaker and some switch disconnectors and had
to have a voltage applied to it to enable the device to close, and have the supply removed from it to trip
the device. An example of an application for an Under Voltage coil would be for emergency stop or load
shedding.

2.3.4. Surge protection device / Surge Diverter
The surge protection device (SPD) and Surge diverter are used to describe electrical devices typically
installed in power distribution panels, process control systems, communications systems, and other
heavy-duty industrial systems, for the purpose of protecting against electrical surges and spikes, including
those caused by lightning.
Figure 27 - Voltage of surges & spikes
The Overvoltage come either from the electricity network or from the earth. Here are some type
of surge protection device shown in figure 28.

According to the above diagram, the
incoming supply and surge arrester were
connected with fuse. The Reason was that to
prevent electricity incoming supply
underground after activating surge protector
in spikes. Usually these fuses were used HRC
(High rupturing capacity) Fuse. Suitable Wire
were used in fixing to the surge protection
device of panel board and follow the
instructions to install the surge protection.

2.3.6. Panel Ammeter
An ammeter is a measuring instrument used to measure the current in a circuit. Electric currents are
measured in amperes (A), hence the name. An ammeter was connected series but panel ammeter not
connected series, CT was used for instead of it. A current transformer (CT) is a type of transformer that
was used to measure alternating current (AC). It produced a current in its secondary which is proportional
to the current in its primary.

2.3.8. Contactor
A contactor is an electrically-controlled switch used for switching an electrical power circuit. Contactors
typically have multiple contacts, and those contacts are usually (but not always) normally-open, so that
power to the load is shut off when the coil is de-energized. Perhaps the most common industrial use for
contactors is the control of electric motors.
The contact part of the contactor includes the power
contacts as well as the auxiliary contacts. The power
contacts gains the power for the contactor and the
auxiliary contacts is used to bring a loop with the rest
of the devices. These contacts are connected to the
contact springs as shown figure 37 below.

A contactor is a relay that is used for switching power.
They usually handle very heavy loads like an electric motor, lighting and heating equipment and
so on.
Though their output is used for switching very high loads, they are controlled by a circuit with
very less power.
According to the loads they handle, they vary in sizes from a small device to as huge as a yard.
Though they are used for switching purposes, they do not interrupt a short-circuit current like a
circuit breaker.

2.3.9. Phase Failure Relay (PFR)
This relays are suitable for monitoring incoming three phase supply from main (Electricity distribution
line) being independent of load. They can be used any HP/KW rating of load. The output relay is energized
when all three phases are connected and in sequence (if applicable) and within the set voltage limits. The
output relay/s will de-energies if one or more voltages between phases are under the value of the minimum
set level or above the value of the maximum set level, less any set
time delay (if applicable). The units will also de-energies on loss of
a phase or incorrect sequence (if applicable). Separate red LED
indicators indicate over and under voltage conditions. If both are
illuminated this indicates a phase sequence error (if applicable). A
green LED indicates output relay status.

2.3.10.Variable Frequency Drive
A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying
the frequency and voltage supplied to the electric motor. Other names for a VFD are variable speed
drive, adjustable speed drive, adjustable frequency drive, AC drive, micro drive, and inverter.
Frequency (or hertz) is directly proportional to the motor’s speed (RPMs). In other words, the faster the
frequency, the faster the RPMs go. If an application does not require an electric motor to run at full speed,
the VFD can be used to ramp down the frequency and voltage to meet the requirements of the electric
motor’s load. As the application’s motor speed requirements change, the VFD can simply turn up or down
the motor speed to meet the speed requirement.
Figure 42 - Variable Frequency Drive
41. 35
2.3.10.1. How does a Variable Frequency Drive work?
The first stage of a Variable Frequency AC Drive, or VFD, is the Converter. The converter is comprised
of six diodes, which are similar to check valves used in plumbing systems. They allow current to flow in
only one direction; the direction shown by the arrow in the diode symbol. For example, whenever A-
phase voltage (voltage is similar to pressure in plumbing systems) is more positive than B or C phase
voltages, then that diode will open and allow current to flow. When B-phase becomes more positive than
A-phase, then the B-phase diode will open and the A-phase diode will close. The same is true for the 3
diodes on the negative side of the bus. Thus, we get six current “pulses” as each diode opens and closes.
This is called a “six-pulse VFD”, which is the standard configuration for current Variable Frequency
Drives.
Let us assume that the drive is operating on a 480V power system. The 480V rating is “rms” or root-
mean-squared. The peaks on a 480V system are 679V. As you can see, the VFD dc bus has a dc voltage
with an AC ripple. The voltage runs between approximately 580V and 680V.
Figure 43 - Graph of AC to DC converter
42. 36
We can get rid of the AC ripple on the DC bus by adding a capacitor. A capacitor operates in a similar
fashion to a reservoir or accumulator in a plumbing system. This capacitor absorbs the ac ripple and
delivers a smooth dc voltage. The AC ripple on the DC bus is typically less than 3 Volts. Thus, the voltage
on the DC bus becomes “approximately” 650VDC. The actual voltage will depend on the voltage level
of the AC line feeding the drive, the level of voltage unbalance on the power system, the motor load, the
impedance of the power system, and any reactors or harmonic filters on the drive.
The diode bridge converter that converts AC-to-DC, is sometimes just referred to as a converter. The
converter that converts the DC back to AC is also a converter, but to distinguish it from the diode
converter, it is usually referred to as an “inverter”. It has become common in the industry to refer to any
DC-to-AC converter as an inverter.
Figure 44 - Get a DC bus using capacitor
Figure 45 - DC to AC convert using inverter
43. 37
When we close one of the top switches in the inverter, that phase of the motor is connected to the positive
dc bus and the voltage on that phase becomes positive. When we close one of the bottom switches in the
converter, that phase is connected to the negative dc bus and becomes negative. Thus, we can make any
phase on the motor become positive or negative at will and can thus generate any frequency that we want.
So, we can make any phase be positive, negative, or zero.
The blue sine-wave is shown for comparison purposes only. The drive does not generate this sine wave.
Notice that the output from the VFD is a “rectangular” wave form. VFD’s do not produce a sinusoidal
output. This rectangular waveform would not be a good choice for a general purpose distribution system,
but is perfectly adequate for a motor.
If we want to reduce the motor frequency to 30 Hz, then we simply switch the inverter output transistors
more slowly. But, if we reduce the frequency to 30Hz, then we must also reduce the voltage to 240V in
order to maintain the V/Hz ratio (see the VFD Motor Theory presentation for more on this). How are we
going to reduce the voltage if the only voltage we have is 650VDC? This is called Pulse Width Modulation
or PWM. Imagine that we could control the pressure in a water line by turning the valve on and off at a
high rate of speed. While this would not be practical for plumbing systems, it works very well for VFD’s.
Notice that during the first half cycle, the voltage is ON half the time and OFF half the time. Thus, the
average voltage is half of 480V or 240V. By pulsing the output, we can achieve any average voltage on
the output of the VFD.

2.3.11.Power Factor Regulator
2.3.11.1. Important of Power Factor
A power factor of one or "unity power factor" is the goal of any electric utility company since if the power
factor is less than one, they have to supply more current to the user for a given amount of power use. In
so doing, they incur more line losses. They also must have larger capacity equipment in place than would
be otherwise necessary. As a result, an industrial facility will be charged a penalty if its power factor is
much different from 1.
2.3.11.2. Disadvantages of Low Power factor
Higher current is required by the equipment, due to which the economic cost of the equipment is
increased.
At low power factor, the current is high which gives rise to high copper losses in the system and
therefore the efficiency of the system is reduced.
Higher current produced a large voltage drop in the apparatus. This results in the poor voltage
regulation.
The usual reason for the low power factor is because of the inductive load. The current in the inductive
load lag behind the voltage. The power factor is therefore lagging. The important inductive loads
responsible for the low power factor are the three-phase induction motors, transformer, lamps and welding
equipment operate at low lagging power factors. Power factor improvement methods are used for
improving the value of power factor in a power system.
2.3.11.3. Power factor improvement
Industrial facilities tend to have a "lagging power factor", where the current lags the voltage (like
an inductor). This is primarily the result of having a lot of electric induction motors - the windings of
motors act as inductors as seen by the power supply. Capacitors have the opposite effect and can
compensate for the inductive motor windings. Some industrial sites will have large banks of capacitors
strictly for the purpose of correcting the power factor back toward one to save on utility company charges.
Here we discussed improvement of power factor using power factor regulator and capacitor bank.
46. 40
2.3.11.4. Power factor regulator
The Factor regulator is designed to optimize the control of
reactive power compensation. Reactive power compensation is
achieved by measuring continuously the reactive power of the
system and then compensated by the switching of capacitor
bank.

Automatic CT polarity correction

User friendly settings
2.3.11.6. Capacitor Contractor
Capacitor Contactors is specially designed for capacitor switching
applications. As capacitor switching is associated with high inrush current,
the contactors are provided with damping resistors which limit the value of
inrush current to a safe value. The contactors are used in APFC panels for
switching power capacitors. Selection of these capacitors depends on the
amount of reactive power compensation required.
2.3.11.7. Features of Capacitor Contractor
Separately terminated de-latching contacts for enhanced operational reliability
Improved switching performance
Dual contact gap for auxiliary contacts
Separate termination of damping resistors Damping resistor

When the coil was energized, the early making auxiliary poles connect the capacitor to the network via
the set of 3 resistors. The damping resistors attenuate the first current peak and the second inrush current
when the main contacts begin to make. Once the main poles were in the closed position, the auxiliary
poles automatically break. When the
coil was de-energized, the main poles
break ensuring the breaking of the
capacitor bank. The contactor can then
begin a new cycle.

2.5. Testing Section
Operation of this section activities of carrying out visual inspection and of then carrying out testing should
be considered as complementary procedures.
2.5.1. Continuity testing
This is the first suggested test as it is important for the safety of the circuit, and it helps confirm a reference
for the remainder of the tests. The test is carried out with a low DC voltage continuity tester, and this may
detect loose and unsound connections; other instruments may be used. This brings us to the two popular
methods for continuity testing, namely:
1) ‘Wandering lead’ method;
It is recommended that this method be used for commercial installations with parallel earth return paths.
As for readings, many tests using this method will show readings approaching zero or typically less than
one or two ohms.
Figure 59 - ‘Wandering lead’ continuity testing
53. 47
2) Utilizing the circuit cable and R1 + R2 method
The second method involves using the circuit cable and shorting or linking it out at one end as shown in Figure
below.
Figure 60 - Utilizing the circuit cable and R1 + R2 method
2.5.2. Insulation Testing
Insulation testing is fundamental and will be used as cables are being installed. On completion of the
circuit and before energization, the circuit insulation is again checked. The tests show faults or shorts as
well as low insulation caused by moisture and similar. Electrical equipment and appliances such as control
gear and lamps should be disconnected prior to testing. Many such devices if left in-circuit would show
as an insulation failure; also, sensitive electronic equipment such as dimmer switches and electronic
ballasts could be damaged in the test. Insulation resistance is measured between:
Live conductors, including the neutral
Live conductors and the protective conductor connected to the earthling arrangement.
Figure 61 - Insulation testing of the motor
54. 48
Perhaps an underused technique is that of carrying out insulation testing on groups of circuits together as
shown in Figure below, and it is recommended that this is limited to 50 outlets per test.
Figure 62 - insulation testing on groups of circuits
2.5.3. Polarity testing
Polarity testing is very easy to carry out. There are a few methods and all of the following are acceptable:
Visual checks where colored cables are used
Checks as part of the continuity testing using shorted out cable
Neon and similar voltage probes
Multimeter
Indicators on ELI testers and similar
2.5.4. Earth fault loop impedance (ELI) testing
Earth fault loop impedance is required to be checked at various places throughout the installation, and
generally at every point where a protective device is installed. For final circuits, there are two alternative
methods of determining the earth fault loop impedance:
Direct measurement of total ELI.
Measurement of the circuit R1 + R2 value and addition to the ZDB (earth fault loop impedance at
the local distribution board).

3. CONCLUSION TO THE REPOT
I would like to say that this training program is an excellent opportunity for us to get to the ground level and
experience the things that we would have never gained through going straight into a job. I am grateful to
University College and NAITA for giving me this wonderful opportunity to have practical experience working
on machines in an industrial environment.
I was started training on 16 October 2017 up to 16 April 2018 by successfully completing 25 weeks. This
was my first industrial training and experience expose to electrical engineering field. I would like to state
my first experience devoted to industrial advance panel board. So I gain lot of experience and gathered
knowledge about motor controlling and switchgear. Personally I’m happy working with that company.
When the beginning I hadn’t no idea about construction of the panel board procedure but end of the
training I have gained work as workshop engineer, day to day I learnt new thing mostly labor handling
part not improved during academic, it should get from real time field works.
It was the first time I was conduct myself in a workshop environment. It was very clean and safety
environment. I was trained under wiring and testing section. It produces Panel board as requirement of
customer. So Mr. Kamal and Mr. Amila helped me and my friend to acquire a good knowledge about Panel
board wiring and it’s Protection. In last weeks I was able to visit the site at Korean spa. In there I studied lot
of practical issues we had to face when implementing a real system.
I hope practical knowledge will benefit me in the future and I would like to say that I obtained good
practical and theoretical knowledge from this company. I must mention that I was easy to carry out my
training with interesting because the people of the company were very friendly and willing to help.
During the training I didn’t perform,
Automation in industry
Practical knowledge about PLC
Advanced information about VFD
