COMMISSIONING PROCEDURE OF GENERATOR FOR FIRST SYNCHRONISATION

AT STANDSTILL 1. INSULATION RESISTANCE (PH-E ,PH- PH AS APPLICABLE ) MEASUREMENT OF THE FOLLOWING TO BE TAKEN i) PILOT EXCITER ii) MAIN EXCITER iii) GENERATOR 2.WINDING RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT OF THE FOLLOWING TO BE TAKEN iv) PILOT EXCITER v) MAIN EXCITER vi) GENERATOR . ROTOR IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENT, GROUNDFAULT DETECTION !. TESTING OF PT", CT" AND ALL RELA#S $. LOOP CHECKING OF ALL PROTECTION CIRCUITS AND PRIMAR# IN%ECTION TEST &. LIST OF RECOMMENDED RELA# TESTING ' RELA# SETTINGS KEPT (. GT BACKCHARGING AND S#NCHRONISATION CIRCUIT CHECKING ). READINGS OF STATOR CORE,WINDING AND TOOTH TEMPERATURES,HOT GAS AND COLD GAS ,SEAL OIL TEMPERATURES,GENERATOR AND EXCITER BEARING TEMPERATURES,GENERATOR FRONT AND REAR *IBRATIONS, PRIMAR# AND SECONDAR# WATER ,SEAL OIL PRESSURES.( GENERATOR PARAMETERS) +. EARTH SWITCHES OF BOTH GCB" SHOULD BE OPENED . 1,. ALL THREE PHASES OF GENERATOR TERMINALS ARE TO BE ISOLATED FROM GCB AND SHORTED TOGETHER FOR SHORT CIRCUIT TEST. AT FULL SPEED NO LOAD SHORT CIRCUIT TEST 11. GENERATOR MA# BE EXCITED IF +, - SPEED CONTACT FROM TURBINE CONTROL PANEL ALLOWS TO DO SO. 12. B# INCREASING THE EXCITATION CURRENT,GENERATOR CURRENT MA# BE NOTED. A GRAPH BETWEEN THESE TWO PARAMETERS MA# BE

DRAWN. FROM WHICH, SHORT CIRCUIT RATIO CAN BE CALCULATED AND COMPARED WITH THAT OF THE TEST REPORT SUPPLIED ALONG WITH GENERATOR. 1 . CHECK FOR THE OPERATION OF CURRENT OPERATED PROTECTIONS LIKE *OLTAGE DEPENDANT O*ERCURRENT,O*ERCURRENT 1!. AFTER PUTTING OFF THE EXCITER AND TRIPPING THE PRIME MO*ER, THREE PHASE TERMINAL SHORTINGS OF GENERATORS MADE MA# BE OPENED. 1$. GENERATOR PARAMETERS TO BE TAKEN AT THIS TIME BEFORE ' AFTER TRIPPING PRIME MO*ER OPEN CIRCUIT TEST 1&. GENERATOR MA# BE EXCITED AND 21 K* TERMINAL *OLTAGE MA# BE ACHIE*ED 1(. O*ER*OLTAGE TEST MA# BE CARRIED OUT . 1). NEGATI*E PHASE SE.UENCE PROTECTION MA# BE CARRIED OUT B# SHORTING AN# TWO PHASES 1+. LINKS BETWEEN GCB AND GENERATOR TERMINALS MA# BE PUT. 2,. FIELD FAILURE,UNDER FRE.UENC# TRIPS CAN BE CARRIED OUT B# AD%USTING THE SET *ALUES. 21. GENERATOR PARAMETERS TO BE TAKEN AGAIN. S#NCHRONISATION 22. GENERATOR TRANSFORMERS HAS TO BE BACKCHARGED. GRID *OLTAGE OF ALL THREE PHASES IN THE RELA# PANEL TO BE MEASURED. 2 . IF PHASE IN-PHASE OUT OF GENERATOR AND GRID SUPPL# ARE TO BE CHECKED AND FOUND OK,THEN CHECK S#NC RELA# GI*ES PERMISSION TO CLOSE GENERATOR CIRCUIT BREAKER WHICH CAN BE MONITORED *IA S#NCHROSCOPE. 2!. IF NO PROTECTION OPERATES, GCB CAN BE CLOSED. 2$. LOW FOR WARD POWER OF GENERATOR MA# BE CHECKED WHENE*ER THE PRIME MO*ER TRIPS,GENERATOR WILL TRIP ON THIS PROTECTION. 2&. RE*ERSE POWER PROTECTION WILL COME INTO PICTURE ONL# IF LOW FORWARD POWER PROTECTION FAILS. 2(. GENERATOR PARAMETERS MA# BE TAKEN %UST BEFORE AND AFTER S#NCHRONISATION AND AT *ARIOUS LOADS ,STEPB#STEP, UPTO FULL LOAD. 2). GENERATOR MA# BE LOADED IF ALL PARAMETERS ARE NORMAL.
