12. OPERATION CRITERIA
12.1. NORMAL OPERATION (TWO MAIN INCOMING FEEDERS ARE AVAILABLE)
For medium voltage and low voltage switchgears, normal operation will be with the
main incoming breakers closed while the bus-tie breaker is open.
12.1.1. Loss of one main incoming feeder (automatic transfer)
Normally, the ATS selector switch must be always at “AUTO” position, If one of the
main incoming feeders is lost due to under voltage; its breaker will be automatically
tripped and the bus-tie will be immediately closed (provided that this incoming breaker
has not been tripped by fault clearing operation).
12.1.2. Return of lost main incoming feeder (manual transfer)
- Switch the ATS selector switch to “MANUAL” position.

- Switch the trip selector switch to “TRIP TIE C.B.” position.
Relay “25” shall check synchronizing between the returned feeder & the connected
feeder.
If the system is within the synchronizing limits, then breaker of the returned incoming
feeder shall be closed manually; this will result in momentary paralleling of both main
incoming breakers and the tie breaker, followed by the automatic opening of the bus tie
breaker.
12.1.3. Load transfer from one section to the other (manual transfer)
- Switch the ATS selector switch to “MANUAL” position.

- Switch the trip selector switch to “INC.1” or “INC.2” position.
Relay “25” shall check synchronizing between the two incomers.
If the system is within the synchronizing limits, the bus tie breaker shall be closed
manually; this will result in momentary paralleling of both main incoming breakers and
the tie breaker, followed by opening of the selected incomer.
12.2. Emergency operation (loss of the two main incoming feeders)

2495 000 JSD 1600 51 B 39/40


Ex:2495-000-JSD-1600-01

E-STYRENICS
Emergency operation shall be carried out in case of power loss due to under voltage
on emergency low voltage switchgear’s main incoming feeders and shall be inhibited in
case of power loss due to fault clearing operation on switchgears.
12.2.1. Loss of main incoming feeders on L.V. switchgear tagged 1-ESWG-3-1 (automatic
transfer)
Normally, the ATS selector switch on the generator control panel must be always at
“AUTO” position, if Incomers of emergency low voltage switchgear will be tripped due
under-voltage / inter-trip, consequently, under voltage will be sensed on the emergency
low voltage switchgear bus bars.
A start signal to the diesel generator will be initiated from emergency switchgear and
upon reaching generator’s nominal frequency and voltage, the diesel generator control
panel shall inhibit closing the switchgear’s incomers (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.1 and 1-ESWG-
3-1-INC.2) and signals (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.3 and 1-ESWG-3-1-TIE) to close.
Diesel generator 1-EDG-3-01 will supply the emergency power feeders while the DCS
(in control building) will automatically start the emergency motors, and other manually
operated emergency motors (if-any) shall be started manually from field control station.
12.2.2. Return to normal operation (restore one or two main incoming feeders) on emergency
low voltage switchgear tagged 1-ESWG-3-1 (manual transfer)
In case of restoring of one main incoming feeder, manually synchronizing of diesel

generator incoming feeder circuit breaker (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.3) with the restored main
incoming feeder shall be carried out through the generator control panel.
If the system is within the synchronizing limits, a closing signal to the restored incoming
circuit breaker will be initiated from the generator control panel, this will result in
momentary paralleling of the restored main incoming breaker (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.1 or
2), tie breaker (1-ESWG-3-1-TIE) and diesel generator incoming feeder (1-ESWG-3-1-
INC.3) followed by automatic opening of the of the bus tie breaker(1-ESWG-3-1-TIE)
and diesel generator incoming feeder (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.3) and stop signal to the
emergency diesel generator (1-EDG-3-1).
N.B. in case of restoring of both main incoming feeders of the emergency low voltage
switchgear, steps carried out in item 12.2.1 above shall be followed by steps in item
12.1.2 above.
12.2.3. Emergency load transfer to diesel generator
- Start emergency diesel generator manually.

- Switch the generator control panel selector switch to “MANUAL” position.
- Adjust the emergency switchgear as per item 12.1.3 above.
Manually synchronize the diesel generator incoming feeder (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.3) with

the selected incomer (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.1 or 2).

if the system is within the synchronizing limits, a closing signal to the diesel generator
incoming feeder (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.3) will be initiated from the generator control panel,
this will result in momentary paralleling of the selected main incoming breaker (1-
ESWG-3-1-INC.1 or 2), tie breaker (1-ESWG-3-1-TIE) and diesel generator incoming
feeder (1-ESWG-3-1-INC.3) followed by automatic opening of the of the selected
incoming feeder.
