Impulse Tests of Insulators Impulse Voltage Withstand Test Impulse Flashover Test 1. Impulse Voltage Withstand Test The test setup is shown in Figure. The impulse generator is adjusted to produce a standard 1.2/50 impulse wave of peak value equal to the specified value of the impulse withstand voltage corrected for atmosphere conditions in accordance with … Read more
Requirement of Good Coal Handling Plant at Site It should have minimum maintenance. It should be simple. It should be reliable. It should supply coal continuously as per the demand of power plant. It should have minimum wear in running the equipment due to abrasive action of coal particles.
Coal Handling Coal requirements per day of a large thermal plant are very large. A 600 MW power plant handles about 7200 tons of coal per day. Therefore, one of the major requirement of a power plant is to reduce the cost of handling of coal from the point of its origin upto the furnace … Read more
Testing of Insulators Q. Describe in brief various tests carried out on overhead line insulators. Insulators are used on transmission line towers for providing support to conductors and to provide insulation between line conductor and transmission line tower. The commonly used insulators are pin type, suspension type, string type. The entire HV tests on insulators … Read more
Power Frequency Tests of Insulators Dry Flashover Test Wet Flashover Test Wet and Dry Withstand Test 1. Dry Flashover Test The insulator is in completely dry and clean state. It is connected to the metallic structure or tower as shown in Figure A. Figure A The power frequency source is connected across the insulator string … Read more
Schering Bridge There are various methods for the measurement of capacitance and di-electric loss. Schering Bridge method is very important and popular method to determine these terms. In this method imperfect capacitor can be compared with a perfect capacitor. (C2 is compared with C1). The imperfect capacitor is represented by its equivalent loss free capacitor C in … Read more
Measurement of Dielectric Constant and Loss Factor Introduction to Dielectric Loss Dielectric constant is also called relative permittivity of the insulating material. Many of the insulating materials have dielectric constant more than unity. These materials show dielectric loss when subjected to AC voltages. Dielectric constant as well as dielectric loss depends on magnitude of voltage … Read more
Loss of Charge Method to Measure Resistance and to Calculate the Resistivity of a Specimen Refer Figure in this figure when B is taken on position 1, the voltage is applied and circuit is charged. But after this if the switch B is taken to position 2, it is disconnected from the supply and the capacitance … Read more
Measurement of Resistivity by Wheatstone Bridge Method (For Liquid Insulators) For liquid insulators the measuring unit (cell) has the following construction. Procedure to find resistivity of a liquid insulator As explained in the previous case of solid insulation, the experimental set up w the same i.e. H.V stable supply voltage to the circuit of Wheatstone … Read more
