What is Protection Relay? A relay is nothing but a sensor, which senses an abnormal condition of an electrical circuit and closes its contacts. These contacts in turns close and complete the circuit breaker trip coil circuit which trips the circuit breaker by isolating the faulty portion of the electrical system from the healthy portion. […]

Large thermal power plants generate electricity by using the thermal energy of fuel. Most of the power plants are pulverized coal fired boiler that means thermal energy is generated by the combustion of pulverized (crushed) coal.In order to control the combustion process,every power plant has their Burner Management System/FSSS(Furnace Safeguard Supervisory System) system,but Optimum efficiency is […]

Alternator,when connected to the grid, it is preferred to operate it in lagging Power Factor mode and in lagging power factor mode it delivers Reactive power and Active power to the grid and the rotor speed is same as that of grid frequency, which is 3000 RPM as per 50 Hz in India.Loss of excitation will […]

New generation thermal power plants are larger in capacity and having sophisticated firing systems, which are more expensive. So it has become necessary to have a coordinated fuel burner management system. Why Boiler Protection System? Inside the furnace, for ignition purpose we generally use HFO (Heavy Furnace Oil), LDO (Light Diesel Oil) and Coal as […]

Generators are the most expensive equipment in the whole plant and the generator faults are considered to be the serious since they may cause severe and costly damage to the insulation, windings and the core. They may cause severe mechanical damage to the shafts and couplings, thereby increasing the amount of fault damage. In the […]
