    Condition For Boost Charge

    Uploaded by

    Assistant Manager PI Nishatabad
    The technical team from TSG North NTDC visited 220KV Grid Station Asset Management North NTDC in Faisalabad to test and calibrate four battery chargers from different manufacturers. The team found issues with the float, boost, current and voltage settings on all chargers. They performed repairs, replaced electronic components, and adjusted settings according to the installed batteries. Ripple voltage, output voltage and current measurements were taken. The team recommended periodic equipment testing and calibration per SOP. They also recommended confirming the health of one battery bank during boost charging.

    Condition For Boost Charge

    1. After discharge.
    2. If specific gravity (corrected for temperature)
    of any cell is more than 10 points (0.010)
    below the full charge value while on float.
    3. If the voltage of any cell is more than 0.04
    volt below the average cell voltage when the
    battery is on float.
    4. If the level in any cell or cells falls at or near
    the minimum fill line a lot of distilled water
    must be added to restore the level to the
    maximum fill line. If this condition occurs, an
    equalizing charge must be performed to
    restore specific gravity.

    (Pakistan), 110 Volt Battery Charger Set “A” make – Coredel (France)
    and 110 Volt Battery Charger Set “B” make – DESCON Pakistan at
    220KV Grid Station Asset Management (North) NTDC Jaranwala Road
    Faisalabad.

    With reference to Deputy Manager / Senior Engineer 220KV Grid Station


    Asset Management (North) NTDC Jaranwala Road Faisalabad office letter NO. 19600-02
    dated: 02.09.2019.

    The Chief Engineer TSG (North) NTDC Lahore Technical team visited at
    220KV Grid Station Asset Management (North) NTDC Jaranwala Road Faisalabad
    on 19.06.2020 to 23.06.2020 for Testing and Calibration of Four (04) numbers Battery
    Chargers.

    The following works have been completed in presence and coordination with
    Mr. Wajahat Saleem Hashmi Deputy Manager 220KV Grid Station Asset Management
    (North) NTDC Jaranwala Road Faisalabad and Mr. Muhammad Afzal Assistant Manager
    (Maintenance) 220KV Grid Station Asset Management (North) NTDC Jaranwala Road
    Faisalabad.

    BATTERY CHARGERS

    A. 220V BATTERY CHARGER (make Westing House - France).

    DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS
    i. Main bridge conduction were found incorrect unbalance.
    ii. Float, boost and Current limiting set points were found incorrect.
    iii. MCB of Filter circuit having indiscriminate behavior, It is recommended to replace
    earliest.
    Ripple Voltage (p-p) Output Voltage Current (Battery + Load) %Ripple
    1.0V 236V 05 Amps 0.15%
    0.5V 264V 23 Amps 0.07%
    B. 220V BATTERY CHARGER Set – “B” (make Electroways - Pakistan).

    DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS
    i. Main bridge conduction were found incorrect unbalance.
    ii. Float, boost and Current limiting set points were found incorrect.
    iii. Load voltage control circuit set points were found incorrect.
    Ripple Voltage (p-p) Output Voltage Current (Battery + Load) %Ripple

    1.5V 264V 22 Amps 0.35%

    C. 110V BATTERY CHARGER Set “A” (make Coredel - France).

    DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS
    i. Float, boost and Current limiting set points were found incorrect.
    ii. Timer for Auto Float / Boost function defective.
    iii. Battery Charger AC Power Supply is connected with Yard AC supply, It is strongly
    recommended connected independently / individually.

    Ripple Voltage (p-p) Output Voltage Current (Battery + Load) %Ripple

    4V 132V 23 Amps 1.2%

    D. 110V BATTERY CHARGER Set “B” (make DESCON Pakistan).

    DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS
    i. Auto, Manual, Float, and boost set points were found incorrect.
    ii. Current limiting set point were found incorrect.
    iii. Load voltage control circuit set points were found incorrect.
    iv. Battery Charger MCB indiscriminate Behavior, It strongly recommended for reliable DC
    \
    Power supply source to replace as early as possible.

    Ripple Voltage (p-p) Output Voltage Current (Battery + Load) %Ripple


    2V 118V 05 Amps 0.6%
    3V 132V 23 Amps 0.9%

    ACTION TAKEN
    All the problems of the Battery Chargers were attended / rectified at site.
    The electronic components / spare parts used in repair of Battery Chargers were provided by
    concerned Asset Management / GSO Maintenance staff. Calibration / Adjustments were made
    according to the battery installed. Checking of ripple factor and oscillography test was also
    carried out accordingly on Battery Chargers.
    Recommendation
    i. Periodic Testing and calibration of Sub Station Equipment should be carried out as
    per SOP to maintain the Grid Station.
    ii. Battery Bank Set ‘‘B’’ during boost charging no0t reducing charging current ≥15
    Amp. It is recommended confirm Healthiness of battery bank from TSG battery
    experts.
    iii. Recommendations / issues can be attended at earliest.
