LAB SESSION 02Select the Appropriate Cable Size

OBJECTIVESelect the appropriate cable size for the given load.

APPARATUSGiven Load Cable Tables Book

THEORYThe cable selection procedures set out in this LAB SESSION will give the basic guidelines tobe followed to determine the minimum size of cable required to satisfy a particularinstallation condition.

The following three main factors influence the selection of a particular cable to satisfy the

circuit requirements:

(a) Current-carrying capacity dependent upon the method of installation and the presenceof external influences, such as thermal insulation, which restrict the operating temperature of the cable. (b) Voltage drop dependent upon the impedance of the cable, the magnitude of the loadcurrent and the load power factor.(c) Short -circuit temperature limit dependent upon energy produced during the short-circuit condition.

TASK: Determine the size of cable required & voltage drop in the cable.

SITUATION: A 150kW , three phase load is supplyi ng from a 400V, 50Hz supply. The circuit is protectedusing BSEN 60898 Type B circuit breaker and is situated 150 m away from the dis tributionboard. It is run with two other power circuit s and is buried in the ground at a depth of 0.8m.There the soil resistivity is 1.2 ºC.m/W. The temperature within the installation can beassumed to be 30 C .

METHOD:

STEP #01Determine the current requirements of the circuit. This current is known as Design current,

either specified by the manufacturer or can be calculated by the formulae.

Design Current (I N) = kilo Watt Power (For 1 phase) Single Phase Voltage x power factor

Design Current (I N) = kilo Watt Power (For 3 phase) 3 x Line Voltage x power factor

If kVA power is given the above formula will change accordingly. If motor power is given in hp then use the conversion 1hp=746 Watts.

Here,

Design Current (I N) = _______________________ = Amps

STEP #02Determine the method of cable installation to be used.

Installation Conditions: The current-carrying capacity of a cable is dependent on themethod of installation to maintain the temperature of the cable within its operating limits.Different methods of installation vary the rate at which the heat generated by the current flowis dissipated to the surrounding medium.

Specific conditions of installation are there like cables installed with or without wiring

enclosures in air, in the ground or embedded in building materials. STEP #03Determine the environmental conditions in the vicinity of the cable installation, whereapplicable, like

(i) the ambient air or soil temperature (ii) the depth of laying rating factor (iii) the soil thermal resistivity rating factor

Use any cable s table book to find out the correction factor values.

Here, the correction factors from the tables:Grouping Factor (Cg): _______

Ambient Temperature (Ca): _______ Soil Resistivity Factor (Cr): _______ Depth of laying factor (Cd): _______

STEP #04Apply the correction factors to determine the current carrying capacity (Ic) of the cable byusing the formula.

Current carrying capacity of cable = Design current .

Correction Factors The above facto rs should be applied according to the design situation.

Current carrying capacity of cable = ____Design current . Cg x Ca x Cr x Cd

Here, Current carrying capacity of cable = __ _________ _____________

Current carrying capacity of cable = ______________

Minimum cable size = ___ __________ mm 2

Find ing the Protective Device Size (I F).The design current should be no greater than the fuse rating. The fuse rating must be nogreater than the current carrying capacity of the cable. The current carrying capacity of thecable should not be greater than the tabulated capacity of the cable i.e.

IN IF IC

The Worst -Case ScenarioA cable may experience various different environments along its route. For example it maystart at a switchboard, run through the switch room in a trench with a lid or steel flooring,pass through a duct in a wall and under a roadway, run a long way directly buried and finishon a ladder rack at the consumer. At each of these environments the thermal resistivity andambient temperature will be different. The environment that causes the most derating of therated current should be taken and used for the whole cable.

DETERMINATION OF VOLTAGE DROP FROM MILLI VOLTS PER AMP -METRE

According to IEE Regulation 52 2-8 of the 15th

edition, it is stipulated that: The voltage drop within the installation does not exceed a value appropriate to the safefunctioning of the associated equipment in normal service. For final circuits protected by anover current protective device having a normal current not exceeding 100A, this requirementis deemed to be satisfied if the drop in voltage from the origin of the circuit to any other pointin the circuit does not exceed 2.5 percent of the nominal voltage at the design current,disregarding staring conditions.

The voltage drop can be determine using the following formula 50 for applications whe reonly the route length and load current of balanced circuits are known.

Voltage Drop (Vd) = L x I N x Vc .1000

where Vc = the millivolt drop per ampere -metre route length of circuit, as shown in the tables forvarious condu ctors, in millivolts per ampere metre (mV/A.m)

Vd = actual voltage drop, in volts L = route length of circuit, in meters IN = the current to be carried by the cable, in amperes.

Here, L = 80m

LAB SESSION 03

Measure the High Level Voltage , Current and Resistance

OBJECTIVEUsing measuring instruments measure the high level of voltage , current and resistance .

APPARATUSCurrent Transformer Potential Transformer Megger Clip on Ammeter

THEORY

Current Tran sformers Ammeters are employed for measurement of current incircuits. In high voltage transmission lines, it is more feasibleto use Current Transformers for measurement of current owingto its higher range of measurement. High values of currentsflowing in the transmission lines serve as the primary circuit of a current transformer. The high current is stepped down to amuch lower value (normally not more than 5A) which is thenmeasured by an ordinary ammeter. This way, an ammeter isnot exposed to high currents and voltages.

Potential Transformers For measurement of high voltages, potential transformers arecommonly used. Difference between the potential transformers andcurrent transformers is that Current Transformers are connected inseries whereas Potential Transformers are connected in parallel.

Among the available range of PTs and CTs, the selection is based onthe following factors

Insulation Class Primary to Secondary ratioContinuous thermal rating Service conditions Accuracy

Clip On Ammeter Current is measured only when an ammeter is connected in a circuit inseries. What if the current in any wire connected to a load is required tobe measured. Using an ammeter, we shall first need to disconnect theload from the source, insert an ammeter and then measure the current.Instead of doing all this, a clip on ammeter allows current measurementwithout disconnecting the line. It operates on the concept of transformation, as in transformers where flux linkages produce voltages.

Megger Megger is a name given to an instrument used to measure largevalues of resistance. Measuring resistance of machines anddevices is very helpful in determining faults like short circuitsetc. Once a machine faces a fault, its internal resistance getschanged. Machine resistance is regularly monitored in order todetect any internal faults occurring in the machines and otherdevices.

LAB SESSION 04

Distribution Transformer

OBJECTIVETo study the operation and constructional features of a Distribution Transformer

APPARATUSDistribution Transformer

THEORYDistribution transformer is used to convert electrical energy of higher voltage (usually 11- 22-33kV) to a lower voltage (250 or 433V) with frequency identical before and after thetransformation. Its main application is mainly within suburban areas, public supplyauthorities and industrial customers. With given secondary voltage, distribution transformer

is usually the last in the chain of electrical energy supply to households and industrialenterprises.

Power Transformer

CONSTRUCTION There are 3 main parts in the distribution transformer:

Coils/winding where incoming alternating current (through primary winding) generatesmagnetic flux, which in turn induces a voltage in the secondary coil.

SIGNIFICANCE OF VECTOR GROUPS Three phase machines, such as transformers, are allotted symbols representing the type of phaseconnection and the phase angle between the HV and LV terminals. The angle is described by a clock-

face hour figure. The HV vector is taken as 12 o clock, the reference, and the corresponding LVvector is represented by the hour ha nd.

For example, a Dy11 represents; D = HV winding is delta connectedy = LV winding is star connected 11 = clock -face reference indicating that the LV vector is at 11 o clock (30o lead)with reference to the HV vector.

LAB SESSION 05

Substation Equipments & One Line Diagram

OBJECTIVETo study the major equipments of the substation and make a one -line diagram .

APPARATUSA visit will be arranged to a sub -station.

THEORYAn electrical substation is a subsidiary station of an electricity generation, transmission anddistribution system where voltage is transformed from high to low levels using transformers.Electric power may flow through several substations between generating plant and consumer,and may be changed in voltage in several steps.

Feeders The electrical distribution system begins with a source of electrical energy that must bedistributed to each and every electrical load. The starting point of this system, which feedselectrical energy into it, is known as a Feeder. The electricity delivered by a feeder is actuallydistributed to different loads in the system.

Distributors A distributor is a conductor from which tapings are taken to the consumers. The currentthrough a distributor is not constant due to the tapings taken off at various places along itslength. While designing a distributor, voltage drop along its length is the main considerationas the voltage variation limits are about 6% of the rated voltage at the consumer terminals.

Switch Gears The term switchgear, used in association with the electric power system, or grid, refers to thecombination of electrical disconnects, fuses and/or circuit breakers used to isolate electricalequipment. Switchgear is used both to de -energize equipment to allow work to be done and toclear faults downstream Panels are the compartments used for switchgear arrangement.

Switching Devices A device designed to close, open, or both, one or more electric circuits.These include

HRC fuses Magnetic contactorCircuit Breaker (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) Load Break Switch

Applying a star or delta-connected (three-phase load) group of three capacitors of suitablecapacity in parallel to the resistive-inductive load terminals, the capacitive current Ic absorbed by them, which is in leading quadrature compared to the voltage Vt, opposes thecomponent in lagging quadrature I L reducing it to I1 or even annulling it, with consequentdecrease in the circulating line current, which takes on the value IR; the best situation is

obtained when IC = I L and I is therefore red uced to the only in -phase component IR.

Using the above relations we can show that

Figure: Types of Incandescent Lamps

FLOURESCENT TUBE LIGHT A fluorescent lamp or fluorescent tube is a gas -discharge lamp that uses electricity to excitemercury vapor. The excited mercury atoms produce short -wave ultraviolet light that thencauses a phosphor to fluoresce, producing visible light .

Compared with incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps use less power for the same amount of light, generally last longer, but are bulkier, more complex, and more expensive than acomparable incandescent lamp.

COMPACT FLOURESCENT LIGHTS A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also known as a compactfluorescent light bulb (or less commonly as a compact fluorescent tube[CFT]), is a type of fluorescent lamp. Many CFLs are designed toreplace an incandescent lamp and can fit in the existing light fixtures

formerly used for incandescent .

Compared to general service incandescent lamps giving the sameamount of visible light, CFLs use less power and have a longer ratedlife, but generally have a higher purchase price.

Calculating the Total Cost in a Residential andCommercial or Industrial Bill .

OBJECTIVEYou are given an Industrial or commercial Bill

Calculate the total energy cost of the utility bill. Explain the terms used in the bill Perform Exercise in the end of the Lab Session

Theory:The rates of utility companies are based upon the following guidelines:

1. The amount of energy consumed [kW.h] 2. The demand r ate at which energy is consumed [kW] 3. The power facto r of the load.

The amount of energy consumed is measured by Energy meter and the demand of the systemduring the demand interval is measured by Demand meter.

What is The Difference Between Demand and Consumption?Demand is how much power you require at a single point in time, measured inkilowatts (kW).Cons umption is how much energy you use over a period of time, measured inkilowatt -hours (kWh).Example: assume ten lights are turned on each with a 100-watt bulb. To accomplishthis, you must draw - or demand - 1,000 watts, or 1 kW of electricity from the po wer

grid. If you leave all ten lights on for two hours, you would consume 2 kWh of electricity.

Demand MeasurementDemand varies by customer and month. To record demand, a special meter tracks theflow of electricity to a facility over a period of time, usually 30 -minute intervals.Over the course of a month, the 30 -minute interval with the highest demand isrecorded and reflected on a monthly bill.

Minimum Charges means a charge to recover the costs for providing customer service toconsumers even if no energy is consumed during the month.

Fixed Charges means the part of sale rate in a two -part tariff to be recovered on the basis of Billing Demand in kilowatt on monthly basis.

Variable Charge means the sale rate per kilowatt -hour (kWh) as a single rate or part of atwo -part tariff applicable to the actual kWh consumed by the consumer during a billingperiod.

Maximum Demand where applicable , means the maximum of the demand obtained in anymonth measured over successive periods each of 30 minutes duration.

Sanctioned Load where applicable means the installed load in kilowatt as applied for by theconsumer and allowed/authorized by the Company for usage by the consumer.

Power Factor shall be to the ratio of kWh to KVAh recorded during the month or the ratio of kWh to the square root of sum of square of kWh and kVARh,.

Formulae to be used:

1. Energy Charges (Rs) = No. of Units x energy charges (Rs/kWh)

2. Fuel Adjustment Charges (Rs) = No. of Units x energy charges (Rs/kWh)

3. Fixed Charges (Rs)

If M XD>50% of connected load

then Fix Charges (Rs) = Fix charges rates x MXD

If MXD<50% of connected load

then Fix Charges (Rs) = Fix charges rates x 50% of connected load

4. Additional Surcharge

Additional Surcharge (Rs) = No. of Units x Additional surcha rge (Rs/kWh)

5. Income Tax

Applicable on Taxable Amount

Taxable Amount = Energy Charges + Fuel Adjustment Charges + Additional Surcharge +Fixed Charges + Electricty Duty + Meter Rent + P.f Penalty

6. Sales Tax

Sales Tax = some percent of Taxable amount (Se e Tarrifs)

LAB SESSIO N 1 1

Diesel Generating Set OBJECTIVETo study the various components of a Diesel Generating Set

THEORY

It is common practice to provide the standby emergency source of supply at all importantinstallations such as large factories, railways, airports & other essential services. This isusually achieved with the use of a captive Diesel Generator Set (DG Set).

Main Components of A Diesel Generating SetDG Set comprises of three main parts.

Engine

This is the main prime mover (PM) for the generator and may be a gas, petrol or dieselengine, depending upon the availability of fuel. In this LAB we will discuss the Dieselgenerating Set, being used more commonly for captive power generation.

The control of power output is obtained through this PM only. It has a droopingcharacteristic.

Governor This senses the speed of the machine and performs extremely fast and accurate adjustments inthe fuel supply to the PM. In turn it regulates the speed and output of the PM withinpredefined limits, depending upon the droop of the PM. The governor may be a mechanical(manual), hydraulic or electronic (automatic) device.

Generator Generator is responsible for changing engine power (hp or kW) into electrical power (kVA).They also must satisfy high magnetizing current draws (kVAR) of electrical equipment.

NEMA suggests 0.8pf for standard generator.

Engine & Generator SizingEngines are sized according to the actual power in kW required to meet the need of thefacility. The generator on the other hand, must be capable of handling the maximum apparentpower which is measured in kVA. Thus engine provide power (kW) and frequency control,generator influence kVA and voltage control.

OBJECTIVETo make connections in home electrical wiring from services main to differentdistribution boards and electrical points for appliance s in a room.

APPARATUSA large wooden boardKilo Watt -hour Meter Wires & Cables Switches & Sockets Bulbs & Fans

THEORY

Designing the home electrical wiring needs careful consideration because of safety.For wiring in residential buildings or industrial buildings, wiring layout should be firstprepared on the drawing board.

The number of light and power points in a building is determined not only by its size,but is also a matter of individual preference especially in the case of residentialbuildings and as such the owner should be consulted for this.

The number of outlets should be adequate to ensure convenient hooking up of thevarious electric operated gadgets & appliances. Minimum four outlets one per wallshould be provided in each room. Lamps & motors should normally be wires ondifferent circuits .

Earthing OBJECTIVETo measure Earthing Resistance and Soil resistivity.

APPARATUSEarth Resistance Tester Hammer Measuring Tape

THEORYEarthing provides protection to personnel and equipment by ensuring operation of protectivecontrol gear and isolation of the faulted circuit in the following cases.

Insulation puncture or failure

Breakdown of insulation between primary & secondary windings of a transformer. Lighting stroke

Ensuring low earth resistance is important in earthingprocess. In case where protection against the faulted list isprovided by mean of fuse or a circuit breaker, the totalresistance of the earth path must be low enough to enable theoperation of the protective device.

The earth electrode resistance depends upon the electricalresistivity of the soil in which the electrode is installed,which in turn is determined by the following factors:

1. Nature of soil 2. Extent of moisture 3. Presence of suitable salts dissolved in moisture.

TYPES OF EARTH ELECTRODES Rod & Pipe Electrodes Plate Electrodes Strip or Round Conductor Electrodes

Plate Electrodes: Plate electrodes consist of copper, cast iron or steel plate. The minimum thickness of plate is recommended as

For cast iron - 12mm For GI or steel - 6.3mm For Copper - 3.15mm

And size not less than 600mm x 600mm .

The resistivity of the soil varies widely throughout the world and changes seasonally. Soil resistivity isdetermined largely by its content of electrolytes, which consist of moisture, minerals anddissolved salts. A dry soil has high resistivity if it contains no soluble salts (Figuer 1).

4 POLE METHODA simple way to measure the resistivity of soil is a four -pin method in which four probes aredrilled into the ground along a straight line at equal distances a and depth b. Then a voltage V is applied to the two inner probes and a current, If, is measured in the two outer probes(Figure 22.16). This test can also be conducted with the help of a ground tester as discussedin Section 22.3, which normally also has a provision for this test.

The formula for measuring soil resistivity is given below;

For Example After inspection, the area investigated has been narrowed down to a plot of groundapproximately 75 square feet (7 m2). Assume that you need to determine the resistivity at adepth of 15 feet (450 cm). The distance A between the electrodes must then be equivalentto the depth at which average resistivity is to be determined (15 ft, or 450 cm). Using themor e simp lified Wenner formula ( gaR2 ), the electrode depth must then be 1/20th of

the electrode spacing or 8 -7/8 (22.5 cm).

For example, if the reading is R = 15 = Soil resistivity (ohm -cm) = 6.28 x 15 x 450 = 42,390 - cm

MEASURING THE GROUND RESISTANCE :The resistance of a grounding station can be measured with the help of a ground tester, whichgenerates a constant voltage for accurate measurement. The tester has two potential and onecurrent probe. The procedure of measurement is illustrated in Figure .

3 POLE METHODThe method for measuring earthing resistance is given below. One of the potential probes A is drilled into the ground at ab out 15 m from the groundingstation G, whose resistance is to be measured. The second probe B is placed between the two.The current lead of the meter is connected to the grounding station. The meter will indicatesome resista nce , which may be noted. Two more readings are also taken by shifting thecentre probe B by almost 3 m on either side of the original location. For an accurate due of the ground resistance, the values obtained must be same. If they are not, the probe B is stillwithin the resistance area of the grounding station G. Shift away probe A by another 6 m orso and place probe B between G and A, and repeat the test. If the three readings are now thesame , consider this as the actual ground resistance of station G, otherwise shift probe Afarther away until a constant reading is obtained.

Effect of Ground Electrode Size and Depth on Resistance

Size: Increasing the diameter of the rod does not materially reduce its resistance. Doublingthe diameter reduces resistance by less than 10%.

Depth: As a ground rod is driven deeper into the earth, its resistance is substantially reduced.In general, doubling the r od length reduces the resistance by an additional 40% (Figure 11).The NEC (1987, 250- 83-3) requires a minimum of 8 ft (2.4 m) to be in contact with the soil.

The most common is a 10 ft (3 m) cylindrical rod which meets the NEC code. A minimumdiameter of 5/8 inch (1.59 cm) is required for steel rods and 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) for copper orcopper clad steel rods (NEC 1987, 250- 83-2). Minimum practical diameters for drivinglimitations for 10 ft (3 m) r ods are:

1/2 inch (1.27 cm) in average soil5/8 inch (1.59 cm) in moist soil3/4 inch (1.91 cm) in hard soil or more than 10 ft driving depths
