1.0 Introduction:
The Electrical Assessment at M/s S.C.Johnson Products Pvt Ltd, Unit6,
Bamuniamaidan Industrial Area,Guwahati- 781021, India is to minimize the ARC
Flash Incidental Energy in the work place as per earlier ARC FLASH Audit report.
NFPA 70E requirements for safe work practices to protect personnel by reducing
exposure to major electrical hazards. NFPA 70E helps companies and employees
avoid workplace injuries and fatalities due to shock, electrocution, arc flash, and arc
blast, and assists in complying with OSHA.
This report follows Indian standards and relevant international standards of IEEE,
IEC, NFPA to minimize the ARC Flash incidental energy level for safe operation.
Prevailing Electrical installations are installed in chemical handling places and have
more deviations with respect to safety and not comply with standards. The deviations
and the recommendations are given in the respective chapters.

3.0 Study on Electrical Demand:
3.1 Plant Load Analysis:
According to the Electricity bill, the contracted demand of the industry is 535 KVA
and the contracted load is about 630KW. The billable Demand is either actual
demand or contract demand whichever is higher. The Actual demand is maximum
about 286 KVA only. Consequently, the recurring losses for the industry is about 5.6
lac per annum by extra paying the money to the Electricity board Assam. The
Electricity bill details and the analysis is as below.
Form the above, the plant load is maximum of 286.4 KVA. Say 300 kVA. The
maximum required Electrical infra for the above load is 300 KVA. To save the
recurring expenses of 5.6 lakhs per annum, it is recommended to go for surrender of
excess demand.

3.2 Study on outdoor EB Structures and Transformers:
3.21 Outdoor Electricity Board Yard:
The industry is receiving 11 KV Electricity supply from Assam Electricity board
through two-part tariff metering. The 11-kV supply is step down to 433v by installing
two numbers of Transformers, rating of 500 KVA and 315 KVA.
11KV, XLPE 185 Sq. mm cable is laid from Electricity Board two pole structure which
is installed in back side of DG room and connected to the Electricity board metering
unit installed in the two-pole structure of the yard. Further the supply is connected to
two numbers of Transformers through drop out fuses and one more two pole
structure.
Deviations:
Tree Branches are nearby the live lines, eventually there is possibility for short circuit
when the branches touch the line.
Rusted MS Supports are corroded and loos it strength to support for 11KV lines
11KV cable is inserted into PVC Pipe and there is no support
No lightening arrester installed.
No 11KV Breaker for CTPT Protection

3.22 Outdoor Transformers two pole structures:
Two numbers of Transformers rating of 500 KVA and 315 KVA are installed. There is
no record for 500 kVA installation and 315 KVA is installed on 2006. Both the
transformers are installed in outdoor. These transformers have no OLTC.
Fig 2 shows the outdoor yard; there is no High voltage breaker control to isolate the
fault within 1 sec. the calculated ARC FLASH LEVEL is above 40cal/cm2 which is
dangerous for Human and concern on Human safety. The ARC Flash Category is 4
The Air break switch is installed to isolate the Transformer and the mounting height
is nearer to 0.6 mtr. Eventually It is not easy to isolate the Transformer. It should be
1.06 mtr as per IER 1956.
The 315 KVA & 500 KVA Transformer Plinth height from the ground level is 1.0 mtr
and there are some chances for accident while doing maintenance and it should be
2.75 mtr from ground level as per IER 1956. Further the side wall clearance is also
lesser than 2.75 mtr.
The AB Switch (Air break switch) should be always in lock and key for safe
operation. There is no maintenance practice adopted in the structure to clean
regularly and structure supports are corroded and in weak conditions.
The lightening Earth bus connection should be supported by insulator as per
standard. And other earth bus should be supported/clamped.
Considering the above derivations with respect for modifications to comply rules and
regulations, it is recommended for Indoor units with all protection to minimize the
ARC FLASH category to NIL.

3.23 : 315 KVA Transformer 11Kv/433v:
The below picture shows the 315 KVA Transformer installation.
Fig 3
The secondary terminal of the Transformer is in open condition. As per IER 1956 the
live terminal should be in closed condition to avoid bird fault and safety operation.
Oil leak in the Transformer and spread out in the floors. Consequent upon this, there
is chances for fire accident, snake enter the yard to lead short circuit etc.
The cable and the Earth bus connections are not supported. It should be supported
by proper clamp.
Transformer has no OLTC and it could not regulate the voltage to meet the
requirement.
MCCB control is installed at the secondary @ 433v side, the operational height is
very low. The operating handle should be 1.6 mtr.
The load on the Transformer is less about 38% ( 120 KVA) as per PQA Audit Study
To do the modifications in the existing arrangements the proposed arrangement is in
the indoor arrangement in subsequent chapters.

3.24 : 500 KVA Transformer 11Kv/433v:
The below picture shows the 500 KVA Transformer installation.
The cable and the Earth bus connections are not supported. It should be supported
by proper clamp.
Transformer has no OLTC and it could not regulate the voltage to meet the
requirement.
ACB control is installed at the secondary @ 433v side, the operational height is very
low. The operating handle should be 1.6 mtr.
The load on the Transformer is very less about 9% (44KVA)
To do the modifications in the existing arrangements the proposed arrangement is as
follows.

3.25 : Recommendations
Prevailing installation needs more modifications to comply safety standards and safe
operations. Further the load of the industry is 300 KVA and one number of New 500
KVA with OLTC Transformer cater the entire factory demand.
Secondly one number High voltage breaker is required for 11 KV control to minimize
the ARC FLASH Category. The entire installation is proposed to install in the Indoor
hence the fire hazard is zero and the ARC Flash Category Level in cal/cm2 is also
nearer to zero.

4.0 MV Panel:
Two numbers of Electrical panels are installed in the Power House/Room, namely
PCC 01 & PCC02. PCC01 is getting supply from Transformer rating of 315 KVA and
PCC02 is getting supply from Transformer no:02, rating of 500 KVA. In addition to
that failed stabilizers with multiple change overs are also in line. The breakers are
MCCB in both Pcc01 and PCC02. The arrangement is as follows.
PCC 01
PCC 02
Note: The above panels are not dust and vermin proof and the door gaskets are in
damaged condition. All the breakers have no ELR with CBCT, adjustable OL, SC &
EF settings. Act as isolator. In case of any fault, there is much delay in tripping
eventually there is more damages, accidents etc. The live line of the bus bars is not
covered and the cables are not supported properly. There is no segregation between
two compartments in the panel.Considering the above the ARC Flash category goes
