Business Edge

The Switchgear Works of Crompton Greaves is located on a 1,32,540 sq.mtrs. plot in Nashik on the Mumbai Agra National Highway and is demarcated in four main divisions: EHV SF6 Gas Switchgear, EHV Instrument Transformer, Medium Voltage Vacuum Switchgear and Surge Arresters. Operations commenced in 1980 with the manufacture of Medium Voltage Switchgear, which was relocated from Kanjur Mumbai Works. A specialised Business Unit spearheads the export thrust for in-house products as well as carefully out-sourced synergestic products for supply to Trade, Industry, OEMs and Power Utilities. Our regional establishments throughout India have factory-trained personnel to provide prompt after sales service, supporting our service personnel located at the factory.

Global Leadership
Today, Crompton Greaves is well on its way to becoming a Global Leader in the field of Transmission & Distribution. In May 2005, CROMPTON GREAVES acquired the entire Pauwels Group, a leading transformer manufacturer in Europe. With this acquisition, it has become one of the top 10 transformer manufacturers in the world. To further augment its position in the Transmission & Distribution sector, CROMPTON GREAVES has recently acquired two Hungarian companies. Ganz Transelektro, engaged in manufacture of EHV Transformers, Gas Insulated Switchgear, rotating machines and Ganz Transverticum, involved in the project business & specializing in high-end engineering & substation capabilities. With the latest acquisition, the turnover of CROMPTON GREAVES has crossed the US$ 2 billion mark; making it the first truly Indian multinational. CROMPTON GREAVES has manufacturing facilities on all five continents spanning - India, Belgium, Ireland, USA, Canada, Indonesia, Hungary. International business today accounts for over 50% of the sales. Crompton Greaves already possesses the distinction of producing world-class, quality products that are globally competitive. The acquisition has given CROMPTON GREAVES access to new technologies 765kV transformers, GIS upto 300kV. The integration process now underway will strengthen the technological capability of CROMPTON GREAVES and its subsidiaries and allow the CROMPTON GREAVES group to emerge as leader at the cutting edge of Transmission & Distribution business on a global scale.

Surge Arresters
Introduction
Components in any power system face in service, overvoltages that arise either due to natural lightning or inevitable switching operations. Surge arresters are used to protect power system installations and equipment against Lightning Overvoltages, Switching Surges etc. Generally arresters are connected across the equipment to be protected, typically between phase and earth for three phase installations. CG metal oxide Surge Arresters consist of active part, which is a series of highly nonlinear ceramic resistors made essentially of Zinc Oxide. Fine Zinc Oxide crystals are surrounded by other metal oxides (additives).

Voltage Rating : The voltage rating of an arrester is that voltage which can be applied for a limited time after the arrester has absorbed a large amount of energy as established in the operating duty tests. The rated voltage is used as a reference parameter for the specification of operating characteristics. Maximum Continuous Operating Voltage (MCOV) :

Fig. 1 Grain Structure of ZnO Block

The MCOV is the maximum permissible rms value of power frequency voltage that may be applied continuously between the terminals of the arrester. Temporary Overvoltage Capability : An arrester must be selected with a high enough voltage rating to withstand temporary overvoltages which might be caused by various occurrences on the system. The most common event causing a temporary overvoltage is a single line to ground fault. For an effectively grounded system such faults will normally be cleared in less than one second. Therefore an overvoltage capability based on a duration of one second is usually recommended. Also, the below table shows Temporary Overvoltage Capability for a time range of 0.1 to 1,000 seconds.

Arrester Voltage Ratings

The chart below indicates the minimum MCOV customers need to specify for an arrester as a function of system voltage. The minimum recommended ratings for solidly grounded systems allow for a temporary voltage rise of at least 40% over a period of one second. Higher temporary overvoltages may require higher MCOV.

Basics of CG Surge Arresters

CG Arresters can be customized to meet virtually all the duty cycle voltage (Voltage Rating) & MCOV requirements.

Arrester Application Information

CG Arresters are designed to use at altitudes of 1000 M. Arresters can be customized to meet requirements for higher altitudes. CG arresters can be used at an average temperature of 40C & where daily maximum temperature does not exceed 60 degC (140 F). The energy absorption capability a two shot energy discharge within one minute, signifies the switching surge capability of these arresters. Wherever Grading Ring is a requirement, it is dispatched along with the Arresters. The base mounting & Terminal options can be customized to specific needs in addition to the options provided in this Catalog. Surge Counters to monitor Arrester discharges are available with built in milli-ammeters. Where Surge Counters is a requirement, it is supplied with suitable Insulating bases (IBs) for Arrester isolation from earth. All Arresters are identified with a unique serial number; multi-stack arresters have unit name-plates indicating position of the unit in the column. Arrester name-plates have information on the rated voltages, MCOV, Pressure relief current, serial number, etc.

CG Polymeric Housed Surge Arresters

Design
The new generation of polymeric housed surge arresters incorporates a superior polymeric material that is recognised by the industry. Our station class polymeric surge arresters are designed & tested in accordance with the IEC-60099-4 standard. These polymeric surge arresters are suitable for both indoor & outdoor applications. These surge arresters are available in the range from 3kV - 96kV and have the following features:
I Excellent protection against the ingress of moisture I Improved cantilever strength I High fault current capability I Excellent protective characteristics I Light weight I High durability I Superior performance in the presence of contamination

These Polymeric-housed surge arresters are designed to protect against overvoltage due to lightning or switching. Station class arresters are used in large electric utility and industrial sub-stations to protect transformers and other substation equipments from lightning & switching surge-generated overvoltage. Our polymeric arresters provide both excellent protective characteristics and temporary over-voltage capability. The type ZPL2 station class arresters offer the benefits of polymer housings for system voltages up to 110kV. The ZPL2 arresters are approximately 1/5 the weight of the porcelain equivalent. Handling and installation are much easier as a result. The risk of damage to the housing is significantly reduced by comparison with porcelain.

Performance
Rated 3 to 96kV, 2.55kV to 81kV MCIV.2.4 to 110kV system line to line voltage. The ZPL2 arrester design is tested inaccordance with the latest industry standards for metal oxide arresters. The ZPL2 arresters consistently withstand the following minimum design tests.
I High Current-Short Duration: 100 kAp I Nominal discharge current (IEC): 10kA I Line Discharge Class (IEC): Class 2 I Minimum Energy Capability: 4.94 kJ / kV MCOV I Pressure Relief Capability: 65kA rms sym. I Working Cantilever strength: 60 kg-m
