1.0 GENERAL:
1.1 The selection of the sub-group and sub-test shall be manual from
OWS in control room.
1.3 Any of the subgroups can be switched ON or OFF of the concerned SGC
by the control buttons for “SGC- ON/OFF” in OWS. As a result , the
display “ AUTO ON” will glow in CRT.
The start up program of each subtest is divided into two parts viz.
pretest and main test. If the operator switches on the 'subgroup safety
devices' as per clause 1.4 - 1.6, the program would proceed to
execute the tests provided following release criteria are present.
2.1.1 PRETEST
Step 1:-
In the step 1 a signal is issued to indicate that pretest is 'ON' and two
commands are issued to energize the test trip solenoid valves
(MAX51AA201 + 202) (Ref. clause 2.5) causing control fluid pressure to
build up at the changeover valve. A similar command will again be
issued with the help of signal <D> once the test solenoid valves 1 & 2
are individually tested for successful operation in step 2 & 3 . Within 4
sec. of wait/check time the pressure at switch MAX51CP208 should be
established.
Step 2:-
In step 2 a ON line testing is done by deriving actual turbine speed in
0-3600 RPM range and adding 360 RPM to it , if the output signal is
greater than 3300 RPM generated thru LVM then a test signal is
generated and fed to de-energize the 'test trip solenoid valve 1'
(MAX51AA201) (Ref.clause 2.5). This should result in depressurization
of the control fluid before the changeover valve. The pressure at
switch MAX51CP207 must drop but the pressure at switch MAX51CP206
should not change as the 'test trip solenoid valve 2' MAX51AA202 is
still energized. These check back criteria indicate the healthiness of
the solenoid valve MAX51AA201 as well as speed limit value monitor
1. These are checked/monitored within 3 sec.
Step 3:-
In step 3, a similar test signal as above is used to de-energize the
"test trip solenoid valve 2" (MAX51AA202). This time the
depressurization of control fluid should take place between the two
test solenoid valves, and this check back criterion by pressure switch
MAX51CP205 ensures the healthiness of 2nd test trip solenoid valve
MAX51AA202 as well as speed limit value monitor 2 and the EPS
channels once again. The wait/monitoring time is 3 secs as in step 2.
Step 4:-
In step 4, no command is issued but a deliberate
waiting time has been introduced to allow, re-energisation of
the two test solenoid valves to provide control fluid upto the
changeover valve.
Step 5:-
In step 5, a command is issued to actuate the
changeover solenoid valve MAX61AA201. This initiates draining of
control fluid between the solenoid valve and changeover valve. The
pressure differential causes the change over valve to move to the test
position, which is annunciated in the panel insert.
The checkback criteria viz. test position of the changeover valve, trip
fluid and auxiliary start up fluid pressure, together with the signal
from step 5 generate signal 'Pretest end'(completed).
(A) MAIN TEST of Remote Trip Device 1 & 2 (Remote trip solenoid valve 1 :
MAX52AA001 & Remote trip solenoid valve 2 : MAX52AA002)
Step 6:-
In this step a command is issued to test the Remote Trip
Solenoid Valve MAX52AA001, if release for this is present. The solenoid
valve is energized causing the control oil supply to be blocked and the
trip oil circuit to be connected to drain instantaneously. The tripping
devices MAX51AA005 & 006 move immediately to trip position. The trip
fluid and auxiliary trip fluid pressures collapse and the control fluid
between the Remote Trip Solenoid valves only maintain its normal
pressure, while the pressure before the tripping devices 1&2 collapse.
The completion of the test is indicated in the MMI through a status lamp
'Test completed successfully' and the reset program is initiated
automatically to restore all the devices tripped to the normal operating
position.
Then, if the other remote trip device is released, and the pretest is
over, command is issued to test the Remote Trip Solenoid Valve
MAX52AA002 in the same manner and after the test is over, it is
annunciated in the panel insert and reset program is initiated.
Step 7:-
This step is enabled if Overspeed Trip Devices have been
released and 'pretest' is over , a command is issued in this step to
drive the 'Overspeed test Unit' motor MAX62AA001M to open a part
and provide the test oil. This test oil builds up gradually and acts
through line MAX62 on the effective area of fly bolt, test oil pressure
test being directly indicating the percentage of the overspeed
simulation. If the bolts are functioning correctly, they will come out
into the trip position when the predetermined pressure is reached and
operate the trip lever to depressurize auxiliary trip fluid circuit
instantaneously . This results in tripping of the Tripping devices 1 and 2
and collapse of the overspeed Trip devices and pressure of test oil are
also taken as check back criteria for completion of the test. If the
overspeed trip devices trip a little earlier before the set test oil
pressure builds up to set value, it is annunciated in the panel insert
and the reset program started automatically to restore all the devices
tripped to their normal operating positions.
Step 08:-
This step is enabled when the low Vacuum Trip Device has
been released and the 'pretest' is over. A command is issued in this
step to actuate the 'Low Vacuum Trip Device' by energizing the test
solenoid valve MAG01AA201. In low vacuum trip device, actual
condenser pressure is applied to a diaphragm which is held in its
normal position by a spring. If the condenser pressure is too high, the
force acting upon the diaphragm exceeds that of the spring and
connects the auxiliary trip fluid system with the outlet to drain. When
this solenoid valve is energized, the 'Low Vacuum Trip Device' is
disconnected from the Vacuum line and simultaneously connected with
atmosphere through a resistance provided by long spiral tube. The air
weakens the vacuum and at the low vacuum condition the Device
trips, resulting in draining of auxiliary trip fluid instantaneously which
is taken as one of the check back criteria for test completion.
Collapse of trip fluid pressure and tripped position of
Tripping Device 1 & 2 are also taken as the check back criteria apart
from the simulated condenser pressure and tripped position of 'Low
Vacuum trip Device'.
2.2.1 Step 51
2.2.2 Step 52
i) In the event of turbine trip during test, the pretest or main test is
discontinued immediately and the reset (shutdown) program started
under protection. In the reset program only 'overspeed trip
device' is restored to its operating position so that the turbine can
be restarted with the overspeed trip device in its normal operating
position.
2.2.4 Step 54
2.2.5 Step 55
In this final step, after change over valve has changed to normal
working position, commands are issued to de-energize the remote trip
test solenoids 1 & 2 (MAX51AA201 & 202), by resetting the memory
circuits. This is the last step of returning to normal operating
conditions and the check back criteria are the collapse of pressure of
the control fluid between the remote trip test solenoids and before the
change-over valve. The programme remains stay-put here by resetting
the memory, unless the sub-group is switched off or unless another
sub-test is initiated. The status indication "resetting on" is also
removed after getting the check back criteria.
(i) The push button 'selection on' on the panel insert of the
concerned safety device switched-on.
2.3.2 The released signal shall be reset (removed) if any of the following
conditions are present:
2.3.3 The memories for release signal generation for testing of "speed limit
value monitors" at the time of PRETEST [ref. clause 2.1.1 (step 2&3)],
are set from the signals of step 1 & step 3. They are reset by
completion of individual testings or by command from step 51.
2.4.3 Signals for indicating 'pretest', 'Main Test', 'Resetting' and 'fault'
conditions at the text display tiles of MMI and signal representing trip by
overspeed during testing for central annunciation are generated. These
are described below.
i) Pretest end .
ii) Command from step 51 issued.
iii) Subgroup control is switched off.
2.4.3.2 The signal 'Main Test On' shall be generated if pretest is completed
or the main test of valves is on (ref. clause 3.4). The signal shall
persist unless the memory is reset by command from step 51 and
the 'Main Test valves ON' signal memory is reset by command from
step 51 of sub-group valves.
2.4.3.3 The signal 'resetting ON' shall be generated by setting any of the
memories by command from step 51 of the respective subgroups (also
ref. clause 3.4 ). The signal shall persist unless both the memories
are reset by signal issued after respective resetting is complete. The
memory will also reset if SGC is switched off .
The two commands 'Control Fluid provide' issued at step 1 will set two
separate memories to issue separate commands to energize the test
solenoid valves (MAX51AA201 & 202), if the turbine speed, sensed by
the speed limit value monitors 1&2, is less than 110% or the release
for testing of speed limit value monitor is present.
After step 4 the two commands 'Control Fluid provide' are again issued
which will energize the two test solenoids. The two solenoids will
remain energized and the two memories will continue in set position to
ensure turbine protection during testing.
The memories will reset and the test solenoid valves de-energized,
if any of the following conditions are present:-
iii) Actual turbine speed , sensed by the respective speed limit value
monitor crosses the limit i.e. 110 %.
The conditions (ii) through (iv) mentioned above shall cause the
turbine to trip.
The 'Stop and Control Valves' are the final control elements of
the 'Safety Devices' and hence their serviceability is just as
important as that of 'Safety Devices' themselves. The testing of
these valves in conjunction with the safety devices ensures that all
elements, which must operate if an emergency trip is initiated, has
been fully tested for serviceability.
There are 2 combined HP stop valves and control valves and two
combined IP stop valves and control valves. They are grouped
together to the selector push button tiles for individual testing to
form following sub-tests:-
i) HP stop and control valve -1
ii) HP stop and control valve -2
iii)IP stop and control valve -1
iv)IP stop and control valve -2
The test procedures for all valve combination are identical and
hence there is a common program, actuating and testing any
combination depending upon manual preselection and permissible
conditions prevailing.
This step monitors the time taken by the selected stop valve to close .
It should close within 0.2 seconds. A successful closure marks the end of
the "Partial test" - i.e. testing of one HP/IP valve combination.
Automatically the "reset program" is initiated and the end of a test
annunciated through the corresponding control tile lamp "Test
completed successfully".
The signal starting the reset program under Automatic action gets
reset as soon as a reset step is set, so that startup program can be
restarted for other subtests or when needed.
3.2.1 Step 51
In this step, the memory of 'Main test valve' ON is reset (ref. clause 3.4
below) to stop 'Main Test' on indication on the panel (ref. clause
2.4.3.2). The signal "resetting on" is generated and annunciated in the
panel insert (ref. clause 2.4.3.3).
3.2.2: Step 52
3.2.3 Step 53
The check back criteria and the waiting time are bypassed if the
concerned stop valve is already open, or if the turbine has tripped.
3.2.4: Step 54
In this step commands are issued to open the stop valve by de-
energizing the reset solenoid valve and the test solenoid valve to
drive them to operating positions, which make the test valve
(MAX47AA011 etc.) to go back to its initial position and allows the fluid
pressure above the piston of the stop valve to drain. The
resultant pressure differential causes the pre-loaded
piston/piston disc unit to open the stop valve to 100% position.
A deliberate waiting time had been envisaged to take care of the time
required for smooth building up of the pressure. Again this waiting
time is bypassed if the turbine trips during testing.
3.2.5: Step 55
3.2.6: Step 56
This step is set after the resetting is successfully completed and here
the monitoring time is blocked and the program remains stay put. An
interlock cancels the selection (release) by resetting the memories
and removes the resetting on annunciation on the panel insert
(ref. clause 2.4.3.3). If another subtest is selected the program
runs again, or else sub group control is switched off.
3.3.1 The 'Released' signal for any of the valve combinations are
generated/canceled in the same way as done for safety devices(ref.
clauses 2.3.1 and 2.3.2).
There is one more interlock for the testing of IP valves. The "release"
signal for IP valves are cancelled if the "secondary fluid pressure to IP
control valves", becomes less than 5 Kg/cm2. This condition ensures
that the testing of IP can only be done if both the IP control valves
are fully open.
If the turbine trips and both the HP-Stop valves are closed the
disconnection relays are energized to de-energize the turbine trip
relays. Turbine trip is represented by trip fluid pressure < 2 Kg/cm2.
The signal ‘Main Test Valves ON’ is generated once the testing starts.
This signal disappears as soon as the resetting starts and the signal
"Resetting valves ON" is generated. These signals are further utilized to
generate the signals "MAIN TEST” and "RESETTING" on, as written in
clause 2.4.3.2 and 2.4.3.3.
