BATTERIES AND CHARGERS

WHAT IS A BATTERY?

BATTERY IS AN ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE WHICH STORES CHEMICAL ENERGY AND RELEASES THE ELECTRICAL ENERGY PARTS OF BATTERY GRIDS ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTING FRAME WORK POSITIVE PLATE LEAD PEROXIDE ACTIVE MATERIAL NEGATIVE PLATE POROUS MASS OF LEAD IN SPONGY FORM SEPERATORS NON CONDUCTING POROUS MATERIAL PLACED BETWEEN POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE PLATE TO AVOID THE TOUCHING EACH OTHER ELECTROLITE H2SO4( SULPHURIC ACID )

WHY BATTERIES ARE USED..

STATION LT SUPPLY SHOULD BE ALLWAYS AVAILABLE TO KEEP THE PROTECTION SYSTEM IN ENERGISED CONDITION BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE LT SYSTEM IS NOT RELIABLE.HENCE A BACK UP OF DG SET IS KEPT IN ALL STATION, BUT TO START THE DG SET IT REQUIRES SOME TIME, DURING THAT TIME BATTERIES PROVIDES THE LOAD TO THE PROTECTION SYSTEM .THAT IS THE REASON PROTECTION SYSTEM IS ALWAYS DESIGNED FOR DC. BATTERIES CAN PROVIDE THE SUPPLY TO THE STATION PROTECTION SYSTEM UPTO 10-15 HOURS DEPENDING ON THE LOAD.

WHY BATTERIES ARE USED..

APART FROM THE PROTECTION SYSTEM THE MONITORING AND RECORDING SYSTEM LIKE ANNUNCIATION , EVENT LOGGER , DISTURBENCE RECORDER ,GPS ,RTU, SPEECH AND PROTECTION COUPLER OF PLCC ARE ALSO CONNECTED TO THE BATTERY SYSTEM FOR RELIABILITY

RANGES OF BATTERY SYSTEM AND CONNECTIVITY

THERE ARE BASICALLY TWO RANGES OF BATTERY SYSTEM AVAILABLE IN SUB-STATION 1. 220 VOLTS 2. 5O VOLTS

220 VOLTS BATTERIES

220V BATTERY SYSTEM IS BASICALLY THE SERIES CONNECTION OF 110 NOS OF 2.1V LEAD ACID BATTERIES EACH CAPACITY OF 400 AH IN EVERY SUB-STATION TWO SETS OF BATTERIES ARE KEPT FOR MORE RELIABILITY EACH SET IS CONNECTED WITH SEPARATE BATTERY CHARGERS THESE SETS ARE USED FOR STATION PROTECTION SYSTEM , DISTURBANCE RECORDER AND ANNUNCIATION SYSTEM

50 V BATTERIES SYSTEM

50V BATTERY SYSTEM IS BASICALLY THE SERIES CONNECTION OF 24 NOS OF 2.1V LEAD ACID BATTERIES EACH CAPACITY OF 400 AH IN EVERY SUB-STATION TWO SETS OF BATTERIES ARE KEPT FOR MORE RELIABILITY EACH SET IS CONNECTED WITH SEPARATE BATTERY CHARGERS THESE SETS ARE NORMALLY USED FOR PLCC SPEECH AND PROTECTION COUPLER AND MONITORING SYSTEM SUCH AS EVENT LOGGER AND GPS

BATTERY CHARGERS

BATTERY CHARGERS CONSISTS OF FLOAT CHARGER BOOST CHARGER STAND-BY CHARGER DCDB

FLOAT CHARGER

FLOAT CHARGER IS BASICALLY DESIGNED FOR CONSTANT VOLTAGE OPERATION . VOLTAGE CAN BE SET BETWEEN 200-250V FOR 220V CHARGER AND 45-55V FOR 50V CHARGER IT IS CONNECTED IN PARALLEL TO THE BATTERY SYSTEM AND TO THE LOAD IT KEEPS THE BATTERIES UNDER CHARGED CONDITION

BOOST CHARGER

BOOST CHARGER IS GENERALLY SAME AS THE FLOAT CHARGER EXCEPT THAT OUTPUT IS SET BETWEEN 200-300V FOR 220V AND BETWEEN 45-60V FOR 50V IT IS SWITCHED ON DURING INITIAL CHARGING , WHEN BATTERIES ARE DRAINED OUT AND DURING TOPPING UP OF BATTERIES WITH DISTILLED WATER

STAND BY CHARGER

IT IS ALSO SAME AS FLOAT CHARGER EXCEPT THE FOLLOWING CHANGES IF THE MAIN FLOATS ARE ON THE STAND-BY CANNOT BE SWITCHED ON WHEN ANY ONE FLOAT CHARGER FAILS / TAKEN OUT FOR MAINTENANCE STAND-BY CAN BE TAKEN INTO SERVICE

DC DISTRIBUTION BOARD

IT IS A DISTRIBUTION BOARD FROM WHERE LOADS ARE CONNECTED SEPARATE DCDB IS AVAILABLE FOR EACH SET OF BATTERIES. COUPLING FACILITIES IS AVAILABLE

WATER BASED SYSTEM

HYDRANT SYSYEM I. System Description.

The hydrant System has been provided for the following areas of the Sub-Station. 1. Fire Water Pump House 2. L.T Sub-Station 3. D.G. Set Building 4. Control Room Building 5. Maintenance Building 6. Store area.

HYDRANT SYSTEM

WATER STORAGE
Water for the fire protection services has been made available in the fire water storage tank adjacent to the pump house. As per the TAC rules water to be stored for hydrant system should be 135 cum and 20 minutes water requirement of the largest equipment under the protection for HVWS system.

HYDRANT SYSTEM

II. The Water Supply, Pumping Capacity and other features of Hydrant System depend not only on the size of risk but also Fire growth and spread potentialities. Accordingly various categorized by TAC . DESCRIPTION Hydrant System is a wet line and the system is always kept pressurized at 8.0 Kgs/Cm. Hydrants Have been provided around the periphery of the various buildings at distance of not more than 60 mts from each other. Location of hydrants have been fixed keeping in mind to attendant the fire hazards at different sections of particular building being protected. Two Nos of Hoses ( 22 Mts/15 Mts ) Nozzles have been provided in each box.

HYDRANT SYSTEM

In the case of fire in a particular area, Hydrant located near by fire area to be opened by trained staff, manually. The Fire is fought by means of hoses and nozzles provided in the hose boxes

HYDRANT SYSTEM

SYSTEM OPERATION
When any hydrant is opened, the pressure in the line drops. When the pressure fallows below 6. 8 kgs/cm the pressure switch will send the impulse to the motor control panel. Due to this power will be supplied to the motor and hydrant pump will start automatically and continuous supply of water is made available for the hydrant outlets. After the fire has been quenched, the pump has to be stopped manually.

HYDRANT SYSTEM

IF HYDRANT PUMP FAILS TO START, THE PRESSURE IN NET WORK WILLFURTHER DROP DOWN TO 6.2 KGS/CM MAINELETRIC PUMP WILL START IF FURTHER DROPS TO 5.8 KGS/CM, DIESEL ENGINE PRESSURE SWITCH WILL ACTUATE AND DIESEL ENGINE WILL START AUTOMATICALLY AND PRESSURIZED WATER WILL BE SUPPLIED TO THE PIPE LINE. AFTER OPERATION DIESEL PUMP SHOULD BE SWITCHED OFF MANUALLY.

SAILENT FEATURES OF THE HVWS SYSTEM

THE HVWS SYSTEM APPLIES WATER IN THE FORM OF A SPRAY CONISTING OF AN AUTOMIZED SPARY OF WATER TRAVELLING AT HIGH VELOCITY. THREE PRINCIPLES OF THE EXTINGUISHMENT ARE EMPLOYED IN THE SYSTEM, VIZ. EMULSIFICATION, COOLING AND SMOTHERING. THE RESULT OF APPLYING THESE PRINCIPLES IS TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WITHIN A FEW SECONDS.
