Maintenance of 400 kV Wave Trap

6 Special Tools, Spares & Consumables

Special Tools /Test Insulated platform or Man Lifter Machine, Insulation
Equipment Resistance Kit(5kV Megger) ,
Spares / consumables Nuts & Bolts,

7 Precautions:
 Wear all the required PPE
 Ensure the Isolation of correct Breaker and Isolators.
 Ensure the line has been disconnected from other end, since the wave
trap has installed in direct line. The isolation of the wave trap is both
end party matter (M/s. MEPL vs. M/s. PGCIL).
 Ensure that live equipment beside is cordoned off.
 Follow standard EHS and engineering practices throughout the job.

8 Procedure:
Opportunity Based:

 Clean the insulators with cloth.

 Clean the Corona ring with cloth.
 Tighten the bolt, nut of over voltage arrestor, Tuning unit and HV
terminal with proper tool & Tackles.
 Do the insulation Resistance test for insulators with HV IR Tester.
 Do the insulation Resistance test (Use the 1kV IR Tester ) for Lightning
Arrestor which is intended to protect tuning device and main coil of the
trap against over voltages and it is located in inside of the main coil of
trap.
 Check the insulation for Cracks of Tensile Rods.
