switchgear

3. Starting sequence for next CW pump(One CW Pump is already in

operation)

a) Starting of next CW Pump is to be prohibited for

approximately 120-300 seconds from start of first CW PUMP.

b) Other sequence for stating of this pump will be same as that

indicated in clause 1 above

6. Starting Procedure:
1. Confirm from local operator that Pump is running in normal condition
2. Check the discharge pressure, current, bearing temp and vibrations of
system is normal
3. Close all line and Pump air vents after proper venting of the system
4. Check for any oil leakage from the bearing.
5. Check for any water leakages from the pump glands and CW line
6. Record the reading –current, bearing temp. & temp. or vibration
7. Tripping Condition:

As per O& M Current working Time

b. Refer breaker and module nos. in power supply details

10. Emergency Operation:

1. CWP suction (for bay) level should be maintained (338mtr). If the suction
level is going low start the CT make up. Also the level is going below 2 m
immediately stop the pump and reduce the load.
2. If the lube oil level is low-check drain valve is in closed position and make
up the oil
3. Check oil leakages in the system.
4. If vacuum of condenser decreases sharply, and exhaust temperature of LP
cylinder rises- Check CW temperature and if standby pump is available
start the pump and increase CW flow.
5. If Pump bearing temp rises -Check bearing oil level, quality and make-up
oil.
6. If the Pump Vibration is high-Check Pump Discharge Butterfly valve is full
open
7. In case of abnormal sound from Pump ,smoke spark stop the pump
and run the standby pump and issue permit for the faulty pump
