INTERNAL TEST OF GRID
NTDC was incorporated as Public Limited Company in November 06, 1998
(license allocated) but started its commercial operations from March 01,
1999.
In NTDC, there are 03 Deputy Managing Directors (D.M.Ds). These are
includes Asset Development & Management (AD&M), Planning &
Engineering (P&E), and System Operation (S.O).
NTDC have two Regional Control Centers (R.C.Cs), one is located in
Islamabad called as Regional Control Center North (R.C.C.N) & second is
located in Jamshoro called as Regional Control Center South (R.C.C.S).
NTDC have total 16 grids of 500kV (with 22,350MVA capacity & 5970km
length of transmission line) & 45 grids of 220kV (with 31,060MVA capacity
& 11,322km length of transmission line).
DRAKE & GREELEY types of conductor used in 500kV line, RAIL &
GREELEY types of conductor used in 220kV line, HAWTHORN type of
conductor used in 132kV line, and DOG type of conductor used in 33kV to
66kV lines.
HAWTHORN (900A capacity) & COREOPSIS types of conductor used in
Busbar.
PTW stands for Permit To Work.
SCADA stands for Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition.
Leakage Current Monitoring (L.C.M) Test used to check Leakage Current of
Lightning Arrester.
Transformer Turn Ratio (T.T.R) Test used to check Healthiness of Winding
& Tap-Changer.
Timing Test done for Circuit Breaker (C.B).
Wave Traps (W.T) are used to Capture Telecom Signals.
Circuit Breaker (C.B) gives protection against Switching Transient
(Switching Transient becomes due to Surge on Lightning Arrester (L.A)).
Gravels in yard are used to Reduce Step Potential & Provides Easy Path for
leakage current.
Grounding is done for Live Part of Equipment (like Neutral conductor of
Transformer) & also always having leakage current.
Earthing is done for Dead Part of Equipment (like Body of Transformer for
Human Protection) & it have leakage current only when any fault occurs.
The ratio of Maximum Demand to the Connected Load is called as Demand
Factor.
The total length of Insulator or Bushing is called as Creepage Distance/Path.
Capacity of battery shows in Ampere-hour (Ah).
The Tolerance of Frequency is ±1%.
