4.3 Certificate for Healthiness of Batteries

As per the MoP direction given in pursuant to recommendations of the Enquiry Committee (NEW grid disturbance on 30th & 31st July, 2012), RPC’s are required to obtain from their respective Constituents the monthly certificate for healthiness of batteries, installed at 220 KV and above voltage level Substations (for power supply to Relays, RTUs and PLCC equipment) and furnish the same to CEA/ MoP.

With reference to above, the Constituents have been requested to submit the certificate on healthiness of batteries on monthly basis (i.e. status for a month shall be sent by the 7th day of the following month) to SRPC.

6. Auto-Reclosure (A/R) Implementation on all 220 kV & above transmission lines of southern region It is common knowledge that majority of the faults that occur on transmission lines are of transient nature; hence provision of Auto-Reclosure certainly helps not only in preventing forced outage of the subject transmission line, but also in averting cascade trippings, in some cases, of adjacent transmission lines due to consequent over-loading. The provision for Auto-Reclosure is also mandated by Regulation 43 (4) (c) CEA Technical Standards for Construction of Electrical Plants and Electric Lines, 2010, which has force of law. Therefore, it is in the interest of grid security that all Constituents implement auto-reclosure feature on all 220 kV & above transmission lines in their respective control areas. Any exceptions to this needed to be properly justified. In this regard, all SR-Constituents are requested to kindly furnish the following details before or during the 60th PCSC meeting:

2016/10:48:00EARTH FAULT KSEB/ TANTRANSCO

TANTRANSCO: Temporary fault.

Both Main-1 & 2 at Theni end

sensed the fault (B-E, Zone-2) and

executed trip. AR lockout at Theni

end.

KSEB: On 03.09.16, no indications

in Main I & Main ll relays.

Directional Earth fault relay

operated- B - Earth. The fault is

appeared to be a hlgh resistance

fault' Because both fault current

and voltage dip are low during

fault.( fault record

attached) . Normal tripping.
