1. Introduction
1. Introduction:-
Data on the Electrical System are the most useful tool for the Electrical engineers to know
the limit of their working arena. According to the limitation of Data, proper planning, estimation and
confirmation regarding the equipments can be achieved. Basically the practice Engineer are very
cautious regarding the value of threshold on the Electrical Parameters, upon the field works on the
Equipments on which they work to obtain the efficiency of the assigned project. Many a times they
get confused to land upon a decisive conclusion; due to the non-availability of ready reckon electrical
data. This chapter has covered all the possible zones of electrical field topics with some reference data
in concise manner. The reference tips on the maintenance schedule, testing methods, installation
practice and commissioning patterns can help the Electrical Engineers to acquaint themselves and
develop a healthy environment by refining their practice towards the field works.

F =[ f1 – ( w2 l2 E / 24 T12 )] - E ( 2 – 1 )

T2 = Tension = f2 x A
But f22 ( f2 - F ) = G = w2 l2 E / 24 A2
f22( f2 + 5.20041 x 106) =1.34552x 3502 x5608x106 /24x487.5x10-12
Now f2 = 4.7006 x 106 Kg/m2
T2 = Tension = f2 x A = 4.7006 x 106 x487.5x10- 6 = 2292 KG
SAG = D2 = w l2 / 8 T2= 8.989 Mtr
F =[ f1 – ( w2 l2 E / 24 T12 )] - E ( 2 – 1 )

T3 = Tension = f3 x A
But f32 ( f3 - F ) = G = w2 l2 E / 24 A2
f32( f3 - 6.40815 x 106) =1.34552x 3502 x5608x106 /24x487.5x10-12
Now f3 = 9.0629x 106 Kg/m2

2. STANDARD DATA TO BE USED
Operating Time$ can be selected as follows
$ The selection and choice of the operating time of the relays depend upon the type of
protection scheme used in the system and type of radial system and type of relay used
in the system.
PSM of O/C relay
It is to be selected according to the load required by the system and thermal
characteristics of the line conductor
Standard allowable OVER LOADING FACTOR is ( 1.25 to 1.5 )
PSM of E/F relay
It is to be selected according to the residual current and allowable unbalance current in
the a system
3. PROCEDURE OF CALCULATION WITH A TYPICAL EXAMPLE OF AN
O/C RELAY
EXAMPLE 1
Suppose 3 Phase fault MVA = 1000 MVA
Single line to Ground fault MVA = 750 MVA

CM= Current Multiplier= ( secondary current / PSM )
PSM = Plug Setting Multiplier
TDS = Time Dial Setting = Time Setting Multiplier (TSM )
System Voltage = 33 KV
Suppose Operating Time = 0.5 Sec
PSM of the O/C relay = 0.75 ( 75 % )

SYMPTOMS REMEDIES
1. Corrosion 1. Remove Electrolyte
2. Pour Distill Water
3. Refill with New Electrolyte
2 Sulphation
• Under Charging 1. Initial stage, repeat the low rate Charging and
• Over Discharge Discharging.
• Too strong /Weak Acid 2. Latter stage, Special treatment should be provided
• Too Rapid Discharge
• Short Circuit
• Plate Exposed to Air
3. Shedding of Active Material 1. Maintain the proper charging and discharging limits
• Over charging of Plates ( 2.4V for charging and 1.85V for discharge )
• Charging done at high rate 1200 sp. Gravity – charging
• Defective material 1190 sp. Gravity - discharging
• Improper application of
Material on plate
4. Over Charging 1. Reduce the Charging Rate and add distilled water to
• Excessive Gassing attain the sp. Gravity of 1200.
• Deterioration of Active
material from +ve plate
• Temp. rise
• Bending of Plates
5. Under Charging 1. Increase the Charging Rate to attain the sp. Gravity of
• Low sp. Gravity 1200.
• Change of the colour of plate.
• Deterioration of Active
material from +ve plate
• Bending of Plates
6. Abnormal reduction of Capacity 1. Allow proper charging and discharging method
• Abnormal drop of voltage 2. Contact manufacturer for replacement
• Sulphur formation
• Development of pores in lead
sponge
• Loss of active material
• Loss of electrolyte
