The power from 132KV line is received at one end of the switch yard and at the other end it is
converted to 11KV by a 15MVA transformer.
Potential transformer: Voltage transformers (VT), also called potential transformers (PT),
are a parallel connected type of instrument transformer. They are designed to present
negligible load to the supply being measured and have an accurate voltage ratio and phase
relationship to enable accurate secondary connected metering.
Isolators: Isolator is a switch operated manually, which separate the circuit from the power
main and discharges the trapped charges in the circuit.
The input to the transformer is 11kV and the output can be varied between any of
these AC voltages 196V, 156V, 116V, 76V. The output is varied with the
autotransformers connected in the 3 input phases
CAPACITOR BANK
In AC electrical system inductive loads consume active power and also reactive power.
This reactive power is needed to generate magnetic field for inductive loads.
The power factor is the ratio of kW (active power) component to the kVA (apparent
power) component.
The reactive power necessary to achieve the power factor is calculated as under
Air Circuit Breaker - This type of circuit breakers, is those kind of circuit
breaker which operates in air at atmospheric pressure.
ACBs are still preferable choice up to voltage 15 KV.
After development of oil circuit breaker, the medium voltage air circuit
breaker (ACB) is replaced completely by oil circuit breaker in different countries
It is also good choice to avoid the risk of oil fire, in case of oil circuit breaker .
