GRATITUDE
By Allahs grace, comprehensive notes on Technical Paper A-1&2for the
candidates who intend to appear in Promotion Examination from Upper
Technical staff to Junior Engineer, have been carefully written. It was not a
childs play. It was really an uphill task for me. Thanks Allah who enabled me to
present such a comprehensive treatise. Many peoples contributed ideas,
suggestion, and advices in this matter and I extend my cordial thanks to
Mr.Muhammad Aslam SSO-1 (Narowal), Mr.Muhammad Akbar Anjum AET,
Mr.Ijaz Ahmad SSO-1, Mr.Tunveer SSO-II, Mr.Tunseer SSO-1 and especially
famous poet, writer, critic Mr. Jan Kashmiri AE who took keen interest and
provided relevant material/informations in the production of these notes. The
aesthetic sense of Mr. Jan Kashmiri enabled me to compose these notes. But for
their help and guidance, I could do nothing. Suggestions and proposals for
improvement of these notes will be gratefully and highly welcomed.

It is a property of substance which opposes the flow of electricity
through it. Its unit is ohm and its symbol.
Those substances which have a small resistance but they readily
allow the flow of electricity through them called conductor.
Those substances which have a great resistance and they do not
allow practically the flow of electricity through them.
It is the unit of resistance, it is resistance in which a steady current
of ampere generate heat @ of one Joule/sec.
The resistance of conductor varies directly as its length for
example. One yard of copper wire has a resistance 0.03 ohm than
two yards will have a resistance of 0.06 ohm.

cost of station and distribution equipment is more than a
given load at lower power factor.
(ii)
Low power makes voltage regulation poor.
(iii) Low power creates trouble to maintain voltage with in
specified limits.
(iv) For the transmission of a given power low power factor
means more energy losses for the same size of conductor.
Causes of poor
(i)
A transformer draws a magnetizing current which total the
power factor.
causes total current to lag with reference to E.M.F. at
normal load. This magnetizing current does not affect
power factor much but at light load, the primary current
power factor low.

Why transformer As seen, copper losses of a transformer depends on current and
rating in KVA.
iron loss on voltage, hence total loss of a transformer depends on
volt-ampere and not on phase angle between voltage and current
that is it is independent of lower power factor that is why rating of
transformer is in KVA and not in KW.
Power
The main purpose of a grid sub-station is to step down the voltage
transformer.
and thus the main equipment installed at a grid sub-station is a
step down transformer, commonly called as power transformer.
The other equipment installed at the grid sub-station serve the
requirement of protection for the power transformers from
various type of electrical and mechanical stresses, over loading,

330.

Current
Transformers

over voltage, over temperature and system faults both on

secondary side and disturbances/ faults established in the
transformer body itself.
The step down power transformer installed at any grid
station have capacity according to the planned load requirement
from that particular grid station, which may very from 10 MVA to
260 MVA. It may vary at both levels, i.e., it may be less than to
MVAs or more than 260 MW.
The step down power transformer, from its particular
nomenclature reduces the voltage from extra high/high voltage to
11 KV, which is distribution system voltage.
The power transformers cooling may be Air natural,
Forced Air cooling or Forced oil circulating system.
The protection of the power transformer is provided by
installing other equipment i.e. circuit breakers current
transformer, potential transformer, isolators and lighting
arrestors, alongwith control and protection panels to be installed
indoor.
The isolator is an equipment, which is operated under number
system condition, which means that this equipment is operated
only under number load as it does not have any ARC
QUENCHING MEDIA. It has male and female contacts, which
disconnect the particular circuit in open air, the operation may be
carried through remote control system or local operation system
attached with it. The difference between line and Bus isolator is
that the line isolator is provided with permanent earthing system,
which provides permanent earth to the feeding line. This
permanent earthing system can be provided remote or local
manual operation system, the local operation may be electrical or
purely manual.
Its important maintenance is checking its contact resistance
in closed position which should not increase than the value
informed by manufacturer. Moreover, its operation must be
smooth and continuous i.e., the contacts are to be cleared at are to
be cleared at regular interval according to the manufacturers
schedule.
The cleaning of supporting columns, also insulating
columns, is also carried out as per schedule. Care must be taken
in heavy pollution areas for cleaning or isolator columns and
male/female contacts. The silicon grease/inhibitor compound
conducting grease to be provided at the contacts after each
cleaning (INHIBITER COMPOUND)
From the name it is used to provide reference current pulse to
measuring/protective devices such as current measuring meters
and protective relays. Generally it provides I amps. To 5 amps.

phase and installed as a got of three units for three phases. It is a

sealed unit that requires very less or almost no maintenance, even
then the scheduled testing is very essential particularly current
ratio test, short circuit test, satisfaction test and C&DF test. These
tests are carried to check the healthiness of the current
transformer. In addition to above, the cleaning of insulating
column and dielectric strength testing of insulating/cooling oil is
also carried out as per manufacturer instruction. Care must be
taken for oil level to be checked from oil level gauge. In any case,
the oil level should go below the recommended oil level of the
manufacturer. It normally has two to three secondary winding
taps to get safety at various primary current values such as 150300-600/5/5. The current transformer is installed with each circuit
breaker, one unit at each phase, which make one set.
This equipment is installed for protection of power transformer
against lighting and system high voltage surges. It is a compact
units, installed on high voltage as well as low voltage side of power
transformer, just like current transformer it is installed in single
unit at each phase, and three units make complete set. Further, its
single unit may comprise of single, two or even more than two
compact units. The installation of units must be according to the
manufacturer instructions, the upper most, lower most, and other
units are marked for installation. Wrong installation of the units
may lead to damage of the particular unit. The lighting arrestor
consist of series capacitor enclosed in insulating columns having
fins to increase the leakage current parth.
The important care regarding maintenances of lighting arrestor, is
cleaning of insulating column and providing perfect earthing at
the earth point marked at the lowest most part of a unit.
Earth testing and leakage current testing must be carried
out as per schedule of the manufacturer for its proper operation
and checking healthiness of the lighting arrestors.
Potential transformer provides voltage pulse corresponding to
high system voltage, normally it is installed in single unit at each
phase, and for three passes three units are installed, which make
one set. At most of the grid stations, only one set is installed, for
metering as well as protection purpose. The potential
transformers are normally installed with but isolator at one side
of the grid station but bar.
It is a sealed unit having primary and secondary winding
enclosed in an insulating column comparatively same make and
same primary system voltage. Unlike current transformer it is
installed in parallel to the system. The mineral oil is used for
providing cooling and insulation. Normally it provide 110 volt
with reference to primary system voltage and marked as 220 132
KV/110 volts.
The important maintenance include cleaning of insulating
body against pollution and checking oil level which should never

fall below the indicated oil level by the manufacturer.

Earthing mesh is provided in the equipment yard of each grid
station with perfect permanent earth and earthing pits. Each
equipment installed in the grid substation is connected to this
earthing mesh to provide perfect earth at the earth marked point
of each equipment.
For better safety an independent permanent perfect earth is
to be provided to the power transformer and lightning arrestors,
in addition to one earth from the grid earth-mesh. In no case the
value of earth-mesh should increase more than 0.2 ohms. Routine
earth testing as per schedule is very important.
Shielding against lighting at the grid sub station equipment is
provided through skywire installed at earth mast and connected
to each gantry column of line as well as transformer bay in such a
way to cover all the yard equipment against lighting. Providing
perfect permanent earth to earthing mast and each gantry
columns is very essential. Earth resistivity test as per schedule is
very important.
H.T. circuit breaker installed in grid substation yard serves the
purpose to isolate the faulty portion of the particular electric
system. It comprises of three poles each pole to isolate respective
phase at a time. All the three poles operates at the same particular
time at the reception of operating single to isolate the faulty
portion or any required portion for maintenance purpose or
otherwise. The type of H.T. or L.T. circuit breakers is denoted
according to the are quenching media used in the particular
circuit breaker. The common type of circuit breakers installed at
WAPDA system are:
Bulk oil circuit breaker
Minimum oil circuit breaker
Air blast circuit breaker
SF6 circuit breaker.
Vacuum tube circuit breaker
This equipment require regular maintenance according to
the prescribed maintenance schedule of the manufacturer.
The routine testing is very essential for contact resistance
test and opening/closing time of the circuit breaker, any deviation
from the prescribed values must be taken care to set them right
according to the manufacturers values. For bulk oil/minimum oil
circuit breakers, oil testing for dielectric strength is also required
after prescribed scheduled time or after certain number of
trippings, whichever is earlier. The value of dielectric strength
should not fall below the value intimated by the manufacturer.
For Air blast and SF6 gas circuit breaker the Air and SF6
gas pressure mentioned by the manufacturer must be maintained.
In case of vacuum tube circuit breaker, the degree of
vacuum mentioned by the manufacturer must be maintained for
safe operation of the circuit breaker.

Station battery

This transformer is installed to provide electric supply to

auxiliary services, it is a distribution transformer of 11 KV/ 440
volts which capacity 100 KVA or above according to the
requirement of particular grid substation, auxiliary services are
described as control room and switchyard lights, supply for
battery charger, compressors, supply for operation system of
breakers, isolators and transformer cooling system, which include
transformer fans, oil pump. etc.
The equipment is installed as indoor, i.e., in the control house
building. It keeps the D.C battery in charged position, which
supply D.C current to various equipment. The battery charger
(110 volts D.C or 220 volts) requires reduce the life of the battery.
The station batter is considered as heart of the grid sub-station
due to its importance as it supply the signal to various circuit
breakers for operation to isolate the faulty portion of the
particular electric system or otherwise i.e., it must be kept in
proper charged position. Wapda has prescribed daily checking of
the battery for its gravity electrolite level and per cell voltage for
different cells selected at Randum and 100% checking of all the
cells on weekly. Any defective cell must be replaced on priority
basis.
The per cell voltage for Trikle and boost charging is
mentioned by the manufacturer of the particular battery and care
must be taken to maintain the per cell voltage as mentioned by the
manufacturers.
TYPES OF BATTERIES:Two types of batteries i.e., (i) Lead Acid batteries, and (ii) Alkaline
batteries are used in Grid stations. But Lead Acid Batteries are
most commonly used in Grid Stations.
Lead Acid Batteries:Main Parts Of Lead Battery:- The main parts lead acid batter are
plates, separator, electrolyte and container.
Types of lead Acid Batter:- There are three types of Lead Acid
Batter (i) Lead Antimony Battery (ii) Lead Planti Battery (iii)
Lead Calcium Battery.
But mostly lead Antimony Batteries are used in Grid
Stations because these batteries are suitable for cycling i.e., for
frequent charging/discharging and also these batteries are less
expensive.
PILOT CELL:- The poorest cell in the battery is called PILOT
CELL. It has lowest S.G., lowest voltage and more sediments at
bottom etc.
Advantages of having a pilot cell/cells in a battery are:(i)
It tells about the state of charge and condition of whole
batter.
(ii)
It minimizes the labour and helps to maintain better
continuity of records.
The electrolyte level of pilot cell must be maintained on full mark

Fire can break out in any plant, office, or home therefore,
everyone must learn how to prevent fires and how to fight them
when they do occur.
In order to prevent fires, you must know how they start. In
order to fight fires, you must know how they burn, how they
spread, and how they put out. Fire prevention requires the same
housekeeping and safety measures described in other modules in
this unit. The reasons for some of these safety practices will
become clearer to you as you study this module.
Not all fires are the same. Different kinds of fires are fought
in different ways and with different equipment. In this module, we
describe the various kinds of fire-fighting equipment and how to
use them. This information will help you to avoid the conditions
that create fires. It will also prepare you to fight a fire more
effectively if one breaks out in the plant or in your home.
CAUSES OF FIRE
Thousands of lives and millions worth of property are destroyed
by fire every year. In industrial plants, the chief causes of fires are
faulty electrical equipment and the misuse of electricity. Almost 25
percent of all fires in industrial plants are electrical. Careless
smoking is the next, causing 18 percent of industrial fires, a figure
that could be reduced greatly by more careful use of smoking
materials. Friction causes 10 percent, and overheated materials
cause 8 percent.
You can see from these figures that most fires in industrial
plants are caused by sloppy work habits, poor maintenance, or
just plain carelessness. It should be equally clear that following
the safe work practices described in this unit will prevent most
fires. It could also reduce injuries and fatalities caused by fires.
FOUR CLASSES OF FIRE
Fires are classified according to what is burning. These are four
classes.
(i)
Class A fires are of ordinary combustibles- paper, wood,
cloth, rubber, and some plastics.
(ii)
Class B fires are of flammable or combustible liquid,
gas, grease, and similar material.
(iii) Class C fires involve energized electrical equipment.
(iv) Class D fires are of combustible materials.

Differential Relay This relay is one that operate where the vector differences of two
or more similar electrical quantities exceeds a predetermined
amount. The way in which relay is connected in a circuit makes its
differential. Most of such relays are of current differential type.
Dashed line shows portion of system element protected by
differential relay. This system element may be length of circuit,
winding of generator a portion of a line. Over current relay is
connected across the C.T. secondary circuit.
The differential relay is one that functions by reason of a
difference between two quantity of the same nature such as
current, voltage, etc.

Distance Relay
The term impedance applies to resistance, reactance or
combination of both principles. In on impedance relay. The torque
produced by a current in balanced against the torque of a voltage
element. The current element produces position (pick-up) torque,
where as the voltage element produced negative (Reset) torque.
Hence impedance relay is a voltage restrained over current relay.
Nomenclature:. An impedance relay is in the average of operating
at a given constant value of 5 to 1, which may be expressed as on
impedance.
Application:. It is used for transmission line protection.
The function of distance relay is that they operate by the
impedance, reactance, and resistance of the circuit between relay
and the fault. These relay are known as distance relay.

Buchhlozs Relay Buchhlozs Relay is a gas actuated relay used for protecting oil
immersed transformers against all types of internal faults and
makes use of the fact that faults decompose oil thus generating

gases.

350.

Tap changer

It is connected by means of pipes between the top of the

transformer tank and the conservator and Is, therefore, under
normal conditions of operation, full of oil.
It consists of a cast housing containing a hinged hollow float,
inside of which is a mercury switch, the float being located in the
upper part of the housing, and a hinged flat value to which is
attached a similar mercury switch, located directly in the path of
the oil be between the tank and the conservator.
When an incipient fault (such as isolation fault between the
turns, breakdown or core insulation, core heating, bad switch
contacts, faulty joints) occurs in the transformer bubble of gas are
evolved by the heat generated and rise up to the tank surface and
thence into the housing of the device where their through passage
is prevented by the flap valve. The bubble pass to the top of the
housing, causing the oil level to fall, where upon the hollow float
tilts and when the mercury switch contacts are short-circuited by
the mercury, and alarm device is operated. If however a serious
fault such as internal short circuit between phases or turns, earth
fault puncture of bushing insulators inside tank occurs the volume
of gas generated is considerable which in moving through the
relay causes the gas surge flap valve to be deflected, thereby
closing the mercury contact switch and energizing the trip coils of
the circuit breakers.
It will be evident that the relay will also respond should the
oil level fall due to blockage from the tank.
The connecting pipe between the tank and conservator should be
as straight as possible and should slope upwards towards the
conservator at a small angle from the horizontal.
There are two types of tap changers
(i)
On Load Tap changer (OLTC)
(ii)
Off- Load Tap changer.
The Ist type works on load position while the second one will be
operated after put-off the load of power transformer.
Functions:The tab changer is used to step up or step down the voltages as the
requirement may be the winding of transformer is sectionalized
and taps are made there are two switches named.

In off load tap changer there is no Divertor Switch.
The divertor switch works mechanically to operate the select
switch, while the select switch selects the tap position.
The principle of tap changer is.
V1/v2 = N1/N2
V2 x 1/N1
When we want to low the voltages we push lower switch in this
way the winding turn cut-off from the circuit, the voltage become

To bring the generated power at power houses (Hydel Thermal)
towards load centers, transmission system is developed.
Transmission system consists of T/Lines as well as grid station.
Transmission voltages used in Pakistan are:1. 500KV Transmission.
2. 220 KV Transmission.
3. 132 KV Transmission.
4. 66 KV Transmission.
PRIMARY TRANSMISSION: it covers 500KV and 220KV
system.
SECONDARY TRANSMISSION: It covers 132KV and 66KV
system.
Circuits: 500 KV single Horizontal CCT used in our system.
220KV 132KV single and double vertical CCT. Used in
our system.
132KV & 66KV delta CCT used in our system
66 KV horizontal CCT used in our system.
DISTRIBUTION:Almost from each grid station 11KV feeders give energy supply to
Distribution system. This 11KV is further step down to 220 volt
and 440 volt by using distribution transformer for consumer
purpose.

BUS COUPLER

It is used to shift the load of one power transformer to another power

transformer in emergency for restoration the supply of all out going
feeders of affected transformer either fault occurred/ observed in
132/66kv C.B,11kv incomings,transformers,L.A,11kv cables. it is
installed between two Incomings panels for achieving required job.
OPERATION
11 kV trolley of affected Incoming must be opened and then racked
out.
Trolley of Bus Coupler should be racked in and closed .
Capacitor of affected TR should be kept in opened position before
doing above said operations.
When fault is rectified or removed,trolly of bus coupler should be
opened and racked out and then trolley of incoming should be
racked in and then closed to normalize the system.
