PROCESS OF MANUFACTURING INSULATORS

The various manufacturing units through which the insulator passes before getting converted into the finished product are as follows: 1) STORAGE: The different raw materials for manufacture of insulators are stored in the identified bins. The raw materials that are required are: a) calcined chaibasa clay b) dolomite c) manganese dioxide d) chrome ore e) calcite f) talc g) ellur clay h) than clay i) quartz for brown clay j) quartz k) feldspar l) bikaner clay m) pyrophyllite n) felcite o) sericite p) japan ball clay All these materials are used in different quantities for different type of insulators that are manufactured and demanded by the customers. 2) SLIP HOUSE: The slip house performs the following operations:

a) WEIGHING: Different raw materials from the storage bins are collected and weighed according to the percentage composition given by the E&D and according to the ball mill capacity to be charged. Then the weighing card is attached to the lot. A sample data for preparation of suspension body slip in a 5 ton ball mill for the first charge are as follows: Quartz Feldspar Pyrophylite Bikaner clay Felcite Pebbles 1053 kg 603 kg 653 kg 387 kg 201 kg 157 kg(due the presence of previously charged pebbles in the ball mill)

B) RIVER-PEBBLE CHARGING: For initial charging of river pebble in the ball mill after rolling large ,medium and small pebbles are collected as per standard samples and weighted as per specification number(PPSL: 0100 R-2 )and pebbles are charged as per the quantity specified. C) PREPARATION OF FIRST CHARGE BODYSLIP: Weighed quantity of first charged raw materials is charged into the ball mill by attaching a cone to its hole from the charging hole on the platform. The pebbles are cleaned with water before charging and then specified quantity of water is charged into the ball mill. Generally charging takes 1-2 hours and ball mill runs 14-16 hours. D) PREPARATION OF SECOND CHARGE BODY SLIP: Weighed quantity of second charge is charged into the ball mill with required quantity of water after preparation of first charge body slip and the ball mill is run for specified time. Then the slip is discharged into the mixing tank and is agitated continuously. E) BLUNGING RETURN SLIP: Scrap and water returned by the process is charged into the blunger in specified proportions to get required specific gravity of the slip. Then it is blunged to achieve homogeneous slip. F) PREPARATION OF CAKE: The slip from the initial tank is pumped into the press using plunger pump and then adequate pressure is applied to turn it into a cake. Here the slip house work is complete. 3) JIGGERING UNIT: The cake from the slip house is fed into the plungmill. Plungmill makes dough of the cake and releases it in continuous cylindrical moulds. These moulds are then made into required shapes by automatic jiggering machines.

4) FINISHING UNIT: the article is placed on the rotating wheel and adequate layer of mass is removed without affecting die formation. Then the articles are placed on tunnel drier cars and the cars are led into the temperature dryings chambers. 5) GLAZING UNIT: the glazing unit carries out the following operations: a) CMC solution preparation b) Sanding glaze preparation c) Brown glaze preparation d) Glazing operation e) Sanding operation f) Stamping and loading 6) FIRING UNIT: the firing work is done in the kiln. It is a continuous process and the kiln temperature and cycle is maintained according to the instructions of the E&D. This is done to test and check the suitability of the product according to the specifications mentioned during the whole process. 7) ASSEMBLY SECTION: the various operations performed during assembly are: a) application of bituminous paint b) preparation of cement mortar c) assembly of insulators 8) TESTING SECTION: here the testing of the finished product is done before the dispatch by the R&D of the company. This is usually done by taking any sample from the lot and then testing it. 9) DISPATCH SECTION: after all the above processes are finished and the testing is complete a green chit is marked which confirms that the product is not defective and right for dispatch.

IT DEPARTMENT The company also has an IT department which gives full technical support to all equipments related to information technology. Now a day IT plays a big role in transmitting information in any company. It is much more efficient and fast than the conventional system. BHEL IT department sets a good example of it. Here we can see the complete system through which company is interlinked as well as with EPD Bangalore (A branch of BHEL). They provide services to all the departments via LAN (Local area network) and WAN (Wide area network).

A SHORT HISTORY OF INSULATOR

INTRODUCTION: A transition of insulator can be seen in various types of pin insulator suspension long road insulators etc. The history of electric power industry is more than 100 year and in this line span the industry has performed the indispensable role of supply of energy to various industry & is still developing at a transition of insulator can be seen in various types of pin insulators and in this span conductor suspended from silk threads to insulate them from ground. SUSPENSION INSULATOR Pin type insulators continued to be used for transmission of voltages up to 70 KV. However, pin type insulators were already becoming too large to0 be used with transmission voltages over 100 KV. And was quickly becoming impractical for large voltages. This lead to the development of suspension insulator by Mr. Lock, owner of the lock insulator mfg. Co, who produced the worlds first suspension insulator in 1903. This isolator soon had its shape improved to become the Duncan insulator. This insulator had the advantage that it could be copied for use with higher transmission voltages. In Europe, the first suspension insulator was developed in 1908 by the Hermsdorf problem fabric, These insulators had shaped which were an advanced over those of the pin type insulator. In 1907 the American E.M. Hewlett developed the insulator which is known as the interline, or fish-type insulator. These insulators soon came to be known as Hewlett insulators and were widely used all over the world for many years. 1915 brought the development of the J.D. insulators by the American company of Jeffery Dewitt. thickness, thoroughness and no deterioration advocated by this insulator attracted the attention of the electric power industry, but its advantage of heavy weight resulted in their disappearance after 10 years. Todays suspension insulators are an improvement of the Duncan type and use the connecting method for insulator, which has developed around 1910 by the look co. this developed into the cleaves type suspension insulator as we known it today. About the some time, The Ohio Brass Co. developed the two type of suspension insulator. Many improvements were later made on these two types of suspension insulator to provide the standard form of suspension insulator in use today. The tensile strength of the standard 250-mmsuspension insulator in 1921are so was at level of 4000-5000 Kg . With an extremely poor annual deterioration rate of 0.75% later improvements to the porcelain body and the introduction kilns and the improved design of the porcelain part, the inner surface of the cape and the pin head part as well as content improvement resulted in a gradual advance in quality and performance. In 1850 the German company Siemens developed a porcelain pin type of insulator with a single lair. The development of the first glass pi type of insulator followed in 1858.

34

The paths of development which shapes of insulators on opposites of the Atlantic took were fairly different. The first insulator had increased thickness of porcelain for higher voltage with diameter of porcelain been increased to make the leakage distance longer. The range of increase leakage distance or resistance which was made possible by increased diameter was very limited. It was at this stage that double lair pin type insulator was developed in the USA. The surface of pin type insulator was often short -circuited with atmospheric moistures and this led to the hasty development of oil pin insulators in Europe. How ever, even the practical use of this concept was soon out moded by multi lair pin type insulators. The size of porcelain insulators become extremely large with high transmission voltage and the production of large pieces of porcelain of was of by means simple. This brought about the manufacture of lair pin type insulators in order to insulator transmission voltage 20KV. a transmission of 55KV was successful operated in the USA in 1902. The transmission was first planned to use the triple lair pin type insulators, but as these were found to be mechanically weak, quadruple, this resulted in there eventual adoption. Consequently, when compared with the first such insulators, todays insulators are four times as strong and have an annual deterioration rate of about 1/1000.

Long-Rod Is Insulators
The early suspension insulators had a high deterioration rate. One of the cause was the expansion of the cement connecting the pin of the suspension insulators to the porcelain cavity parts which resulted in an internal force tending to push the insulators open and the corresponding increase in the tension stress in the porcelain, bringing about the eventual destruction of the insulators stress this was regarded a fundamental structural problem in both Germany & Switzerland, it was considered that any improvement on the conventional structure would not amount to any complete eradication of the problem. Therefore, a structure, which did not generate increased tension in the porcelain, even if the cement expands, was study. The insulator which was forerunner of todays long road insulators was developed in Switzerland by the Motors-Columbus Co. in 1917. At the time, the use of cement filler was out of favor, so the structure had a metal fitting. Which was mechanically consternated from the out side? This was later modified to the normal metal cap connection. The insulators manufactured by Motor-Columbus Co. are called motor insulators. Such insulators parts become sort when copra to the length of insulators in its connect states. This is to say that for a comparison of motor insulator and suspension insulators in case of same. This necessitated increasing length of porcelain in portion of the motor insulators and consequence gave rise around. These insulators also come to be made in fairly long and let to the development and manufacture of the long stab isolator which could with stand 110 KV and a length of more than one meter. This insulator was developed by the Hermsdorf-Schaumburg Co. in 1936 and was forerunner of todays long rod insulators.

Apparatus Insulators
These are two main type of insulator for apparatus at sub stations. They are the hollow porcelain used for the transformer bushings, and the subject insulators used for supporting the bus lines.

Like every manufacturing company, BHEL also has its own separate finance department which deals with the different financial matters of the company. The finance department of BHEL is sub-divided into various sections and the work flow is divided among these sections which are consolidated and put together as a whole at the end and the final accounts are prepared and then the decision making process begins and targets are set for

the next financial year. The various sections into which the finance department is divided are: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) suppliers bill section pay-roll section sales section budget and book section taxation section works bill section

1. SUPPLIERS BILL SECTION

The suppliers bill section of the finance department further deals with following issues of the company 1) TRANSPORT BILL: the transporters bill is first sent to this department and the department makes a record of the bill and SRV is prepared by the department. Then the payment is made according to the items that are agreed upon by the parties. All the payments are made through DD or CHEQUE. 2) PSL (PRICE STORE LEDGER): the price store ledger deals with the inventory related issues and for this purpose they use weighted average cost accounting method as decided by the board of BHEL. 3) SUPPLIERS PAYMENT: all the suppliers payments are made by this department. These are the payments to all those suppliers who act as ancillaries to BHEL. When they supply the material, the copy of this supply is sent to the metal department of the company and record is made of the materials supplied by the party. After this one copy of this is sent to the suppliers bill section of the finance department with mentioning the materials that have been accepted and the number that have been rejected. Then the finance department pays to the supplier for the quantities that have been accepted as per the conditions agreed upon by the supplier and the company and final record is made. 4) CONTRACT LABOUR PAYMENT: BHEL has a lot of contract labourers working in the company and all the dealings related to them are dealt with in this particular section of the company. All the payments that are made to them are paid here in cash in the presence of their particular heads to dispose any discrepancy that may arise during the process.

2. PAY-ROLL SECTION
The work of the pay roll section begins the moment a person is appointed by the company and the letter of appointment is issued to the employee. The employee is given unique number in which the first two numbers indicate the unit to which the employee belongs. All the permanent employees are provided an electronic card and the temporary employees are provided a punch card for the attendance purpose. Every employee while entering the company swaps the card at entry gate and their entry and exit time is recorded the machine at the gate which is then transferred to the IT department of the company. The IT department prepares a record and sends it to the pay roll section of the company. The pay roll section then collects these data and prepares their own record of each and every employee of the company. After preparing their record they send this record to the respective department heads for their approval as they also have a manual record of the employees of their department. This is to dispose any discrepancy in the matter. After the records are signed by the respective heads and sent back to the pay roll section they prepare the attendance sheet of each employee along with other details. While preparing the details of the employees they mention all the matters such as the PF, loans that they have taken, LIC, income tax deducted, daily wage, DA etc and prepare the whole amount after this. A copy of their statement is handed over to each employee with all these details and the final salary which is being given to them after all these accounts have been done. One most important point that BHEL keeps in mind is that every employee who has a salary of above Rs 20000 is paid only through bank and not in cash. All the other employees who have a salary below this are either paid in cash or through bank as they desire.

3. SALES SECTION
This section deals with all the sales related issues in the company. It keeps all the records and the data that is necessary while making the records and maintaining the account. It keeps the record of all the debtors and creditors of the company and the central and state sales tax that is levied on each item and the terms and conditions related to them. The debtors management is also dealt with this department. They have to prepare an MIR (manual information report) for every month which is sent to the corporate office every month as a report of the company.

4. BOOKS AND BUDGET SECTION

This section keeps the records of all the matters of the finance department and all the other records that each section keeps with it. They record all the ledgers and vouchers of monthly, quarterly and yearly accounts. They also maintains records of the inter unit transactions i.e. the transfers that takes place between this unit and BHELs other units.

They keep the records of the entire audit that is done internally as well as the record of the entire statutory and government audit. This section also deals with the budgeting of the company. As the funds are allocated by the corporate office for each BHEL unit. After receiving this budget they prepare their own budget of each department with the respective heads and then allocate the funds to each department for their purposes. They also prepare the budgeted figures and targets for the company for the next financial year.

5. TAXATION SECTION
This section takes care of the tax related issues of the company. All the indirect and direct taxes that they have to deal with is taken care of by this section. They also take care of the excise duties and customs duty in case of export. They also have to deal with the service tax related matters.

6. WORKS BILL SECTION

This section has to keep record of all the infrastructure related issues. They have to keep the record of the building, roads, furniture and the township related matters. It keeps the record of the work that is needed to be done for the company as well as for the township and other areas.

CONCLUTION
First of all it was great and fulfilling experience working at BHEL Jagdishpur insulator plant. The whole tenure of two months of our summer training helped us a lot to know what it is working with a large organization like BHEL which is one of the top most

companies in India. We were able to learn and know the difference between theoretical knowledge and practical experience. We learned that along with the theory we have to apply our skills and expertise to solve the problems and situations that arise from time to time. The work here is divided in sections such as Marketing, Finance, Production, IT, Assembly, R&D, Store, Slip etc. and each department is further divided in subsections with the head of each section presiding over them. The marketing department works through a few set guidelines those are there for the smooth functioning of the work flow. No work in the department is carried out without a written letter signed by the concerned authority and they put forward is that it proves to be a stronger evidence and record than verbal communication. Although, they also accept the point that this makes the work flow quite slow and sometimes creates hurdles in the flow. The finance department has a different procedure of working and their dealing changes, when dealing with different parties. They have different times and condition which are their regular customers whereas they are different for the customers dealing with them for the first or the second times. They also have different payment terms which changes with the type of work such as transporter bill, supplier bill etc. but no payment is made or received in cash from or to any party. The works in other departments also have more or less the same procedure. Most of the machines and equipments that are used are from Japan. The safety measures and proper working conditions are well taken care of in the plant for the employees working in those conditions. All the workers working in the plant are provided with necessary covers such as hand gloves, eye glasses etc wherever necessary. The R and D department keeps a cheque of the quality of material that is produced and the standards that are to be maintained. No material can be dispatched without their approval of the quality of the product. In all BHEL is a well organized company with high standards and earning huge profits due to its highly professional functioning in its affairs. It was a pleasure working at BHEL which gave us a bright opportunity to know the real industrial world and the tactics of the trade to a great extent. Although a great amount of work needs to be done on our part as this was only a small stint of the whole new world which we will face in coming months.

SUGGESTIONS
The work flow at BHEL is quite smooth and organized. Each and every department is further sub-divided in small sections and the work is divided among those sections with the head of the department presiding over them. These heads then come together and

form the upper core of the organization, where the decision making and target setting takes place. These heads prepare their own budgets and targets which are then combined together to prepare the target of the whole organization. Along these there are some points that need to be taken of: In BHEL the dress code of all the employees is same no matter whether he is a GM or an AGM. This is good on one point that it gives message of oneness but the top level employees need to be given something that differentiate them from the rest or indicates that they are the top level employees. For this purpose they can ask their top executives to wear a tie which will take care of both the points i.e. the oneness along with some extra respect to those employees. The wooden boxes that they use for the storage and dispatch purpose of their finished product is a matter of concern. The BHEL board should set a committee or some personnel to find out an alternative to this problem as wood is not a long term solution and can backfire at any time. They seriously need to look for a long term replacement for this purpose as soon as possible. The wastage that occurs once the insulators are tested defective is really a matter of concern as they are just thrown at a place which can be well used for some other purpose. The board needs to take some decision to solve this problem and come out with a solution soon. BHEL should at least have proper place for the employees where they can relax during the lunch time as there is no such place in the company where they can sit and rest during this time. The lunch break is of 40 minutes and it hardly takes 1520 minutes to finish the lunch and rest of the time they spent sitting here and there, but if a proper place is provided to them they can sit and relax there which can improve their efficiency to a great extent. The facilities in their township can be improved a little although the facilities provided are good, but one or two recreation parks and recreation clubs can be set up which will help the young children in the township in their all round development. The school that is in the township is already serving a great purpose in this respect.
