Mastering Medium Voltage Schematics Episode 03

Dear All,

Welcome to the course "Mastering Medium Voltage Schematics". This training starts from a very basic level to an advanced level. Focus has been given to delivering practical and hands-on knowledge.

Trainer Introduction:

Your trainer brings over 21 years of experience in operation & maintenance, erection, testing, project management, consultancy, supervision, substation automation, SCADA, and commissioning. With a background spanning power plants, high voltage substations, and HVDC installations, he has worked with renowned organizations such as Siemens Saudi Arabia. He has been involved in over 20 high-voltage substation projects across Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.

His expertise encompasses a wide range of areas including protection systems, substation automation systems, design, testing, and commissioning of power generation systems, high voltage switchgear, protection relays, and control schemes. He has a proven track record of leading testing and commissioning teams for implementing electrical infrastructure projects for industrial clients, including steel and petrochemical industries.

This online course is part 03 of the Mastering Medium Voltage Switchgear drawings.  In this part we have covered the following topics.

••Indication circuit

•Binary input circuit

•Loop supervision

•DC supply supervision

•Interlocking of OG feeder with Earth switch

•Trip Circuit Supervision Alarm and Close block logics

•Each TCS create alarm

•Both TCS fail means CB can’t be open if closed, that is dangerous

•Concept of CB close block if both TCS fails

•When to monitor healthiness of TC , CB is closed or open

Concept of Ghost / Fake DC, Solid DC & return negative and positive supplies.

•What is it mean by Solid DC

•What is return negative or positive

•Ghost / Fake DC

•Use of Test Lamp

•Test lamp supersede any high-tech tools for trouble shooting
