Intertrippingsystem 22kV/ 6.6kV
Intertripping shall beprovided between associated equipment to correctly isolatefaulted
itemsandtoleavethesysteminapredictableorderly stateafter operationof protection.
Operation of any transformer buchholz or overpressure/gas evolution protection
shall trip the transformer feeder circuit breaker and shall intertrip the associated

o Redundancypower supplyunit Whenever oneof thepower supplyunit fails, theother
will continuously supply power to converter, not effect to operation of Fiber Optic
Converter/Intertripping system. The failure unit will be replaced by a new one without
interruptingthesystem.
o Newtypeof Fiber Optic Converter, whichinstalledinEmergency Switchboard, has not

2. Modify wiring and logic inside protection relay REF542plus of two
incomers for all 6.6kV switchboards as per approved MOC-SS-13-115

Benefits:
In case of one incomer is opened by fault or maintenance, the remain incomer will
not be opened by intertripping signal to prevent blackout one substation;
This modification still satisfy the intertrip-interlock philosophy of this project
