The closing of the breaker is achieved by the closing spring, which is
charged by an electric motor. The spring recharging is automatic following
the closure of the circuit breaker. The motor wound spring closing units are
fitted with emergency manual charging facility also.
The minor differences between the two makes of circuit breakers are as
follows:

the first three positions are achieved with the door fully closed. In the
Isolated position the door of the cubicle can be opened and the breaker is
drawn out by hand to maintenance position. Complete access to the inner
parts is available in this position.
When the closing springs are in charged condition a yellow flag in the
front indicates it. ON/OFF flag indication is also available to indicate the
status of the breaker.
In the different positions of the breaker, the availability of supply to the
main circuit and control circuit are similar to that of English Electric Circuit
breaker as indicated in the table above section.

The 415V system (Fig-1) comprises 28 service transformers out of
which 2 transformers (750 KVA) feed the CW Pump house switch gear, 2
transformers (1000 KVA) feed the Water Treatment Plant switch gear; the
remaining 24 transformers (1600 KVA) are distributed as follows:
1. 3 Nos. feed Units Service Switchgear each unit (Total 3 X 3 = 9)
2. 2 Nos. feed ESP Switchgear of each unit (Total 2 X 3 = 6)
3. 3 Nos. feed the Station Service Switchgear
4. 3 Nos. feed the LHS Switchgear and
5. 3 Nos. feed the AHS Switchgear.

UST-A gets its 6.6 KV supply from the respective 6.6 KV unit bus-A
through MOCB. The LT side (415V) of this transformer is connected to USS-A
through an ACB (Normal Incomer).
The connections UST-B is similar to that of UST-A except that it gets its
6.6 KV supply from the respective 6.6 KV unit bus-B and the LT side is
connected to USS-B.
The HT supply (6.6 KV) to UST-C is also from the respective 6.6 KV unit
bus-B. The LT side (415 V) has got two ACBs (standby incomers) in parallel,
one connected to USS-A and the other to USS-B.
Normal/ emergency switchgear is provided for each unit and it is
getting its normal supply from USS-A through a breaker (ACB) called as N/E
bus coupler. If this normal source fails, the reserve Diesel Generator starts
automatically and supplies power to this N/E bus through an incomer ACB.
Most essential auxiliaries of the unit are connected to this bus.

switchgear-B through the incomer breakers, Both these buses are coupled
together by a bus coupler breaker (ACB) which is normally kept opened. The
Ht supply for ESPT-A and ESPT-B are from the respective 6.6 KV unit buses A
and B respectively.

respectively.

This supply is used for panel/motor space heating. Each switchgear has
got a 240V panel/motor space heating supply bus which gets its supply from
some other 415V bus through an isolating switch, fuse and a 5KVA,
415V/240V, 1 transformer. From this bus, supply goes to the motor space
heater through a MCB and a set of contracts of a relay, which ensures that
this supply is available to the space heater only when the motor is not in
service. This is used for the motors whose rating is more than 30KW.

In the case of station service switchgear and LHS switchgear auto
closing of standby incomer is not available when the normal incomer trips.
Like USS, in this switchgear also when one standby incomer is in closed
condition, the other cannot be closed.
In case of AHS switchgear, when parallel operation of AHT-A and AHT-C
is to be taken from the 6.6 KV bus to which AHT-A or AHT-B (Station bus C2A
or C1A) is connected. However auto closing of incomers from AHT-C when
the incomer from AHT-A or AHT-B trips, is not available. When one HT (LT)
breaker of AHT-C is in closed condition, the other HT (LT) breaker cannot be
closed.
In the case of CWPH switchgear, WTP switchgear and Boiler MCC when
one of the incomer breakers trip, the bus coupler breaker will close on auto.
In the case of ESP switchgear, auto closing of bus coupler breaker
when one of the incomer breakers trip is not available.
In the case of Fuel oil pump house MCC incomer-I (from LHS Bus-A) will
be in normal service. When that trips Incomer-II (from LHS Bus-B) will close
automatically. But the converse does not hold good.

3. UST-C is kept as reserve and charged on its HT side.
OPERATIONS:
1. Trip the HT (6.6 KV) breaker of UST-C.
2. Rack out 6.6 KV breaker and both the 415V breakers of UST-C.
3. Isolate the control supply (220V D.C.) for all the above 3 breakers.
