EMTR AND AUTO TRANSFER Question and answers

EMTR AND AUTO TRANSFER

• What is meant by EMTR?

In case of normal supply failure to CL-III & CL-II the loads will be fed by the
alternative/standby sources. This changeover of supply is called Emergency
Transfer.

• How EMTR is initiated?

EMTR is initiated on sensing the CL-III & CL-II bus under voltage.

• What are the routes of EMTR?

CL-III bus under voltage. The DG’s will start. All the breakers connected to the
affected bus will trip. DG breaker will close on dead bus. Loads will be restored one
by one.
CL-II bus under voltage. The tie breaker of the affected bus will close.

• What does load-shedding mean?

When there is only one source to feed the two buses, the total loads can not be fed by
this single source. Hence some of the less important load will not be allowed to start
or it will be tripped if it is running.

• What does total load-shedding mean?

Even after the load shedding the is continue to deliver more than the rated power
sensed by overpower relay or running with under frequency sensed by the under
frequency relay the total load shedding will take place. In case of auxiliary
transformer is feeding the total load shedding will take place after 4 minutes.

• What does auto transfer mean?

If one of the sources is tripped on main protection its breaker will be tripped and the
tie-breaker will close. This transfer of supply from one source to other source is
called auto transfer. To restore the class IV whenever the UT or SUT is lost Auto
transfer is provided.

• Why auto transfer is prevented if the backup protection is operated?

The back up protection is supposed to operate in case of a bus fault. Hence the auto
transfer is prevented.

• What are the types Auto transfer scheme?

1. Fast transfer scheme to close the tie-breaker in less than 200 milli seconds. This
limits transient current and voltage dip in the bus and does quick acceleration of
the motors.


2. Slow transfer after 200 milli seconds.

• What are the conditions for Auto transfer scheme?

Backup protections are not allowed to initiate the Auto transfer. Because under
voltage may exist in the bus. Similarly protection in LV of the transformers are not
initiating the Auto transfer scheme. There are three metrics used in Auto transfer
scheme and 2/3 logic is adopted.
Conditions
1. Fault generator (86BG or 86A1).
2. Fault in UT.
3. Fault in GT.
4. Fault in 220 kV bus (SUT).
5. Fault in SUT (86M).

• What are the uses of EMTR scheme?

1. To restore class III when class IV supply fails.
2. To extend supply to class II when UPS fails.
3. In one DG condition to load restoration.
4. Sub sequent restoration of large motor loads.

• What are the sequences of motor load restoration in EMTR?

1. AHPPW –1001 - 4 Sec.
2. APWC – 1003 - 8 Sec.
3. APWC – 1004 - 12 Sec.
4. AHPPW –1002 - 16 Sec.
5. PPP – 1001 - 20 Sec.
6. MOD – 1002 - 24 Sec.
7. MOD – 1001 - 28 Sec.
8. Air Comp – 1002 - 32 Sec.
9. ABFP – 1006 - 36 Sec.
10. 7343 Exst Fan 1003 - 40 Sec.
11. ECCS PM 1001 - 44 Sec.
12. ECCS PM 1002 - 48 Sec.

• Why synchronizing scheme has been adopted? What are interlocks provided?

To check running and incoming buses, which are going to be interconnected are in
synchronism with each other.
Interlocks
1. Synch selector.
2. Only one breaker can operate at a time.
3. Master synch relay contact should available (bypass will bypass this synch
contact).
Bypass facility is provided to close the breaker on dead bus only.

• What are the settings provided in synchronizing scheme (SKE Relay)?

Voltage – V1- V2 = 10%
Frequency – t = 0.05 Sec (2.5 Hz)
% Slip – 0.45
Phase angle difference - 20°.

• What are the major losses in nuclear power generating system?

Condenser - 500 MW.
Moderator - 40 MW.
C/V and E/S system - 3.7 MW.
