Tool box talk will be conducted by the concerned CEP prior to start of working and
attendance will be recorded.
Conduct visual inspection on the existing 30V DC Charger & DCDB to check for any
physical damages/alarm signals, if any immediately notify concerned DISC operation
engineer.
After receiving permit, ensure all the Circuit Breaker of the DC Charger, DCDB, Fuse
box & LVAC Panel (Related to 30V DC Charger – 1 & 2) are in open position.
Using Multimeter/DC Clamp meter confirm that there is no voltage.
Dis-connect the DC supply incoming cables of the 11kV Switchgear Bus-A & Bus-B,
20MVA Tx. RTCC – 1 & 2.
Connect the new cables. Provide temporary 30V DC supply for 11kV Switchgear
Bus-A & Bus-B, 20MVA Tx. RTCC – 1 & 2; through new cable from the DC source
kit.
Ensure that the 30V DC supply from the source kit is stable and all the circuits are
healthy.
If there are any alarms/trips encountered during execution, it shall be promptly
informed to the concerned DISC operation engineer.
Dis-connect the LV power cable between LVAC Panel and 30V DC Charger-1 & 2.
Dis-connect the LV power cable between 30V DC Charger-1 & 2 and Fuse box-1 &
2.
Dis-connect the LV power cable between 30V DC Charger-1 & 2 & 30V DCDB.
Also, dis-connect the inter panel cables for electrical interlock if any.
Prior to dis-connect any cables ensure that there is no voltage and note the terminals
details for re-connection.
Shift the 30V DC Charger-1 & 2 and DCDB one by one from existing location to
proposed location using pallet trolley.
Always shift the panels in a vertical position to avoid sudden shock / jolting, which
could damage the sensitive components in the 30V DC charger.
Install the 30V DC Charger-1 & 2 and DCDB on the base frame in the new location
as per the approved drawing.
Check the levelling and alignment of the panel with spirit level make necessary
corrections with shims etc. for correct alignment.
Bolting to the base frame shall be carried out using suitable Bolts and Nuts.
All Bolts shall be tightened properly using a calibrated Torque Wrench.
Panel doors shall be checked for correct operation and locking.
Connect the new LV power cable between LVAC Panel and 30V DC Charger-1 & 2.
Connect the new LV power cable between 30V DC Charger-1 & 2 and Fuse box-1 &
2.
Connect the new LV power cable between 30V DC Charger-1 & 2 & 30V DCDB.
Connect all the inter panel cable required for electrical interlocks / signals / alarms.
All the new/modified LV power and control cables shall be connected to correct
terminals and are tightened.
Ensure all the cable connections before switching ON the AC/DC supply MCB’s.
TENDER No:36/2019 CONSTRUCTION OF UPGRADING 132/33KV
THUMRAIT GRID STATION FROM 2X30 MVA TO 2X63MVA
Switch On, 415V LVAC supply MCB for 30V DC Charger – 1 & 2 and Switch On,
30V DC Fuse Box – 1 & 2.
Ensure the DC supply voltage (30V DC) available at all outgoing feeder MCCB’s in
DCDB.
Remove and connect the DC supply cables of 11kV switchgear Bus-A & Bus-B and
20MVA Tx. RTCC – 1 & 2 one after one from temporary DC source kit to DCDB.
All the alarms, indications status shall be checked.
Provide ferrules and cable name tags for all the new/modified LV power and control
cables as per DISC requirement.
Unused cable entry holes shall be sealed off using grommet.
All cables gland body shall be earthed to earth grid using suitable size of earth cables.
Make coupling of Earth Bus bars & connect the 30V DC System earth to main earth
grid.
All the activities shall be inspected by OETC/DISC/DEC Engineers and it will be
recorded as per Tender requirements.
After performing all the shifting activities, the permit shall be cleared by CEP and
cancelled by DISC AEP.
Good housekeeping will always be maintained at site.
7.4 Installation of LV Essential DB (Distribution)
Prior to start; ensure that valid permits are obtained from concerned authorities
wherever applicable.
Physically inspect the DB for any damage and ensure all the materials are received as
per packing list.
Confirm label/marking to ensure that is the correct panel and check the location
according to the approved shop drawings.
Mark the fixing position of the DB's support as per approved drawing and coordinate
with other equipment and services if required.
After markings are done, fix unistrut channel on the wall using anchor bolt.
Install the DB on the unistrut channel using locknuts.
The height of Distribution Board shall be maintained as per approved drawing so that
easy access for termination of cables and other maintenance work can be carried out.
Check the levelling and alignment of the DB with spirit level make necessary
corrections with shims etc. for correct alignment.
GI Trunking / Tray with cover shall be installed to route the incoming and outgoing
cables.
DB’s earth shall be connected to main earth grid.
Good housekeeping will always be maintained at site.
8. Specific identified residual hazards
Task risk assessment is according to the methodology establisehed by OETC.
The assessed risk shall be classified into
