featuring overall high strength and no deformation during lifting and transportation.

5.1.2. The insulation is in glass fiber wool, providing heat and sound insulation,
non-flammability and high safety property.

5.1.3. Two power supplies (permanent and emergent) are available for indoor lighting and
plug base, for which separate air switches, leakage protection devices and other components
are installed. The two power supplies are independent of one another without cross
interference. The switching circuit is mounted in the transformer cabin through plug and plug
base.

5.1.4. Marine paint is used for painting and container technology is used, and the house
enjoys a long service life.

5.2. Circuits in electric house

5.2.1. Main circuit

The frequency converter is actually a low voltage frequency conversion process. A low
voltage supply at 3AC, 600V and 50HZ serves an operating power for the main motor
through frequency conversion by frequency converter.
5.2.2. Auxiliary circuit
There are two ways of power supplies which supply 380V power: one way is from generator
to transformer (600/380); one way is from junction box plug in/out parts to external 380V.
The two ways can not work at the same time. The switching between two ways is
automatically, that is, they themselves have mechanical and electric interlocks, and only one
way’s 380V power could get in at one time.

Its loop is from generator to PG cabinet, to PA cabinet coil in, pass through 380/220(-TC102),
mainly supply power for 220VPLC, 24V emergent magnet valve, 24V magnet valve, 24V

main body control power, indoor and cabinets lighting, air conditionings, main motor cooling
fan, heater, HPU, etc.

The electric house is provided with indoor lighting system with the distribution box mounted
on right of the door, which is an air switch with leakage protection. The power for auxiliary
circuit consists of permanent power and emergent power, which are connected in the coil in
box A by plugs as needed.

The permanent power is supplied from the auxiliary transformer at 380V/50Hz of Top Drive

-7-
BPM Top Drive Electric House Manual

Inverter system.

The emergent power comes from the external power at 380V/50Hz, which is connected to the
terminal in the coil in box.

The emergent power is used for maintenance of Top Drive electro-control system and lighting
in the electric house when the power at 600VAC shuts down as well as for the manual tools
during the maintenance period.

5.2.3. Notes for power distribution in electric house

After long distance relocation of the electric house, before its use, check if all power supply
plugs are connected in place and if the lighting fixtures are loosened. Before power on,
measure with multimeter the values of insulation resistance between wires in the house. When
all pieces of electric equipment are disconnected, the value shall not be equal to zero
(short-circuit condition). Measure the insulation resistance between each wire and the metal
construction of the house body with megohmmeter at 500V (when megger is used, electric
appliances with electronic components shall be removed to prevent damage to the electronic
components), and the resistance value should be more than 2MΩ. If the measured value does
not meet the requirement, find out the causes and solve the fault before switch the power on
for trial run.

Whenever power supply line is installed or replaced, check if the zero line is properly
connected, the line voltage among the three phases is at normal value （380V-400V）and the
phase voltage between each phase and the zero line is at normal value （220V±5%）.

Other electric equipments of unknown capacity must not be connected to the power plug base
in the house, and chargers or other devices must not be connected when the house is not
attended. To connect other electric equipments, always make sure that the capacity is not more
than the capacity of the electric house power plug base. Otherwise, it may lead to fires due to
overload of the wires.

To replace the surface-mounted fluorescent lamps and door lamps, use the tubes of same
model and power.

5.3. Lifting and transportation

5.3.1. Lifting: during lifting, 4 wire ropes are required to hold the 4 lifting bars of the base
and note the lifting balance. To lift the electric house, make sure that all articles are firmly
attached to the house body to prevent damage.

6. Air conditioning

6.1. Brief introduction of air conditioning

In the electric house, split air-duct unit from America-based Trane is used, which consists of
indoor unit and outdoor unit.

MWD indoor unit has a galvanized housing finished with polyester powder, providing good
resistance to corrosion. The heat exchanger is based on copper tubes with hydrophilic
aluminum foil-inner thread, enabling high-efficient heat exchange. Thermostatic expansion
valve is used to control the flow of the refrigerant with a large range of regulation and high
accuracy. For the fan motor, belt sheave is used for drive, providing large weight, high
pressure head, robust construction and low noise.

TWA outdoor unit is based on heat pump unit, of which the galvanized housing is finished
with polyester powder, providing good resistance to corrosion. The heat exchanger is based
on copper tubes with hydrophilic aluminum foil-inner thread, enabling high-efficient heat
exchange. Thermostatic expansion valve is used to control the flow of the refrigerant with a
large range of regulation and high accuracy.

The Trane air conditioning has overload protection and time delay protection, the fan has
overload protection and the refrigerant circuit has low/high pressure protection, enabling a
safer operation for the air conditioning system.

All air conditioning units are equipped with liquid-crystal display controllers, which could
realize remote operation, e.g. cooling, heating, dehumidification, fix time, sleep setting, etc.

6.2. Temperature, humidity and service of air conditioning

A thermohygrometer is provided above the desk in the electric house for users to observe the
change of temperature and humidity in the house at any time, facilitating the users to take
prompt actions in line with the actual condition and regulate the temperature and humidity in
the house.

6.2.1. Excessively high temperature in the house may lead to unstable operation of the
microcircuits in the electro-control system and system failures. When indoor temperature is
high, close the door and use air conditioning to decrease the temperature.

6.2.2. Excessively high humidity in the house may lead to condensation on the surface of the
devices in the electro-control system, poor insulation and short circuit in the system, and

- 11 -
BPM Top Drive Electric House Manual

accidents of equipment.

6.2.3. Excessively low humidity in the house will lead to more serious hazards. Excessively
dry air tends to generate static electricity, which may break down the microelectronic
components and devices and likewise lead to the damage to the devices in the electro-control
system and accidents of equipment.

While the moisture content in the air does not change, lowering the temperature by cooling
will raise the relative humidity in the air, or even up to the saturation of moisture content in
the air with a relative humidity of 100%. Now, the temperature is the dew point temperature.

Namely, lowering the air temperature will lead to increase the relative humidity in house.

Therefore, dehumidification in the electric house is really complex. It is necessary to raise the
temperature in the electric house with the heater in the electric cabinet, the electric heater for
air conditioning and the heating function of the air conditioning to vaporize the water droplets
possibly condensed on the electric components before lowering the temperature through
cooling by the air conditioning and forming condensate with the indoor unit of the air
conditioning for emission. Repeat the cycle several times to reduce the absolute temperature
in the electric house before raising the indoor temperature to 26～31℃, thus achieving a low
relative humidity in the house. The relative humidity in the electric house shall preferably be
maintained at 30～55%.

However, when a specific temperature is achieved at the condenser of the air conditioning,
frosting will take place, thus substantially reducing the dehumidifying efficiency of the air
conditioning. If necessary, dehumidifier may be used, which works better.

6.2.4. Dehumidifying modes: dehumidification by cooling, dehumidification by compression

and chemical dehumidification.

Cost-efficient cooling type is dehumidifier.

In case of high humidity, close the house door properly, reduce the number of entry/exit of
people and ensure that the absolute temperature in the house does not rise.

The indoor temperature and humidity are vital to the safe operation of the
electric equipment in the electro-control system of Top Drive.

6.2.5. For the safe operation of the electric equipment in the electro-control system of Top
Drive, strictly follow the requirements below:

1) During the operation of the air conditioning, close all doors of the electric house and
frequent entry/exit house is prohibited.

2) During the operation of the air conditioning, all the doors of the compartment for the air
- 12 -
BPM Top Drive Electric House Manual

conditioning must be closed and only internal circulation is used to minimize the ingress
of outside air with high humidity.

3) To ensure the normal operation of the electric equipment in the electric house and reduce
condensation, strictly set the air conditioning at 26～31℃.

4) For the Inverter compartment and the indoor unit compartment of the air conditioning, in
case of damage at the sealing strips on the door frames, make prompt replacement and
ensure the tightness of the house.

During the running of the air conditioning, close all doors of the Inverter
compartment of the electric house, and frequent entry/exit of the house is
prohibited.

During the running of the air conditioning, all the doors of the indoor unit
compartment for the air conditioning must be closed and only internal
circulation is used to minimize the ingress of outside air with high humidity.

To ensure the normal operation of the electric equipment in the electric house
and reduce internal condensation, strictly set the air conditioning at 25～30℃.
