Specification for 1250A, 1000V DC Contactor for Oil Rigs

01. Introduction

This specification covers the requirement of 1250A DC Contactor for oil rig application.

The oilrig control system employs AC-SCR system, which is based on generation of AC
power. The AC power is converted to DC power thru thyristor power converters and this
controlled & variable DC power is fed to various DC drilling motors thru DC contactor
which opens & closes as per system design & safety interlocks requirement. The DC
Contactors are fitted in SCR panels.

02. Brief Description of DC Contactor

Based on above, the requirement is for M/s Rosshill (Now NOV-USA) make DC
Contcator Part No-0100-0389-02 or HGC (Hill Graham- UK, Part No-C530 as following:

03. Technical Specification of DC Contactor

The DC Contactors are required for supplying DC power to main drilling DC Motors.
These contactors are single pole, non- polarized design, equipped with two auxiliary
switches each having two sets of changeover contacts. The contactor should require a
minimum amount of maintenance. The main contacts arc gap, the magnetic gap and
wear allowance adjustments are to be pre set at factory and no field adjustments should
required at site. Maintenance to be limited to periodic inspection for cleanliness & loose
connection only. The contactor should operate with 74V DC coil interlocked with
assignment requirements

Following is the brief technical requirements:

Pole Configuration : Single Pole, Normally Open

Type : Off Load
Rated Current : 1250A DC at 40 Degree C Ambient
Rated Voltage : 1000V DC

2
 BHEL Specification No-OR12434

Coil Voltage : 74V DC

Auxiliary Contacts : 4 Change Over Contacts
Auxiliary Contact Rating : 10A at 125VDC
Control Connection : Fast On terminals
Power Connections : Top & Bottom of the Contactor

The above DC Contactors should be designed & manufactured for oilrig application and
reliability of performance to be proven during last two decades. It should offer rugged &
reliable type of system protection critical for heavy-duty oil rig application The DC
Contactors should be RossHill make contactor, Part No-0100-0389-02 or M/s
HillGraham UK make, Part No-C530.

The typical drawing of DC Contactor is shown in figure-1 on page-5.

04. Economy Resistor for DC Contactor

The coil circuit of DC contactor should be fitted with an economy resistor to reduce the
coil current, when the contactor is closed. A normally closed auxiliary contact is to be
used to "Short out " the resistor when the contactor is open. The typical arrangement is
shown in figure-2.
