SCHEME PHILOSOPHY:

SPS STANDS FOR SPECIAL PROTECTION SCHEME. THE SCHEME IS IMPLEMENTED IN

LANCO AMARKANATK AS PER CONTINGENCY PLAN OF WRLDC TO SAFE GUARD
OVERLOADING OF LINES CONNECTED WITH NTPC-KORBA SUBSTATION DURING PATHADI-
SIPAT LINE OUTAGE WITH BOTH THE UNITS (LANCO) IN RUNNING CONDITION.

CIRCUIT INTRODUCTION:

THE SPS SCHEME IMPLEMENTED IN LANCO-PATHADI (2X300 MW) COMPRISES OF A

POWER RELAY WHICH IS HAVING CT INPUT FROM CT-62 (CORE-4, CT RATIO 1000/1 A)
AND PT INPUT FROM LINE CVT-62 (400KV/110V) EXTENDED FROM LINE-1 (PATHADI-
SIPAT-RAIPUR) FOR POWER MEASUREMENT & BREAKER CONTACT OF CB-61 OF
PATHADI-SIPAT-RAIPUR LINE AT LANCO PATHADI END . SCHEME IS FACILITATED WITH
ARMING AND DISARMING SELECTOR FOR UNIT # 1 & UNIT # 2 .TRIP SIGNAL OF SPS
WILL OPERATE MASTER TRIP RELAY OF GENERATOR PROTECTION PANEL WHICH IN
TURN WILL TRIP GCB AND TURBINE OF SELECTED UNIT. FACIA INDICATORS INDICATING
SPS OFF, SPS ON FOR UNIT#1, SPS ON FOR UNIT#2 ARE ALSO PROVIDED IN THE
SCHEME.
CONDITIONS FOR SPS TRIGGERING:
SCHEME WILL BE TRIGGERED IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS :
1. IF POWER FLOW IN PATHADI-SIPAT-RAIPUR LINE IS <50MW (MONITORED THROUGH
POWER RELAY INCORPORATED IN SWITCHYARD) OR,
2. IF 400KV PATHADI-SIPAT-RAIPUR LINE BREAKER (CB-61) AT PATHADI END IS OPENED.

AS THE TRIGGER SIGNAL IS RECEIVED,COMMAND WILL BE ISSUED TO MASTER TRIP

RELAY INCORPORATED IN GRP-1 OF UNIT#1 WHICH FURTHER ISSUES TRIPPING
COMMAND TO THE UNIT WHICH IS SELECTED FOR TRIPPING THROUGH SPS
SELECTOR SWITCH.

CONDITIONS FOR ARMING (IN SERVICE) AND DISARMING (OUT OF
SERVICE) OF SPS:
1. IN NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS (WHEN BOTH THE UNITS OF LANCO-PATHADI ARE
IN RUNNING CONDITION) SPS SHOULD BE KEPT IN ARMED (IN SERVICE) CONDITION
THROUGH SPS SELECTOR SWITHC FOR ANY ONE OF THE UNIT.
2. IN CASE OF PLANNED OUTAGE OF LANCO PATHADI-SIPAT-RAIPUR LINE WITH BOTH THE
UNITS IN OPERATION AT LANCO PATHADI,BEFORE OPENING THE PATHADI-SIPAT LINE
BREAKER (CB-61),FIRST REDUCE THE GENERATION TO TECHNICAL MINIMUM THEN GET
CODE FROM WRLDC FOR SPS DISARMING.NOW DISARM THE SPS SCHEME BY SELECTING
“OFF” POSITION IN SPS SELECTOR SWITCH.PATHADI-SIPAT LINE BREAKER (CB-61) WILL
BE OPENED ONLY AFTER DISARMING OF SPS SCHEME.
3. WHEN THE LINE-1 BREAKER (CB-61) IS OPENED,TRIP COMMAND WILL BE ISSUED TO
MASTER TRIP RELAY AND IT WILL REMAIN IN TRIP CONDITION AND WILL NOT RESET
UNTILL THE LINE IS RESTORED.AS THE PATHADI-SIPAT LINE IS NORMALISED-
A. RESET THE TRIP LED OF SPS POWER RELAY SITUATED IN SWITCHYARD.
B. RESET THE MASTER TRIP RELAY OF SPS SCHEME BY PRESSING THE RESET BUTTON OF
SPS MASTER TRIP RELAY.
B. GET THE CODE FROM WRLDC FOR ARMING (TAKING INTO SERVICE) OF SPS SCHEME.
C. AFTER RECEIVING THE CODE PUT THE SPS SELECTOR SWITCH IN EITHER UNIT#1 OR
UNIT#2 AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS.
D. INFORM WRLDC ABOUT ARMING OF SPS SCHEME AND UNIT NO. FOR WHICH IT IS
ARMED.
4. AFTER ARMING OF SPS SCHEME,GENERATION CAN BE RAMPED UP ACCORDING TO
INSTRUCTIONS.
INDICATIONS AND ANNUNCIATIONS PROVIDED IN SPS SCHEME:
1. “SPS TRIP LAMP” (RED COLOUR) IS PROVIDED BESIDE SPS SELECTOR SWITCH WHICH
WILL GLOW IF SPS MASTER TRIP RELAY IS IN TRIP CONDITION.DO NOT PUT SPS IN
SERVICE IF THIS LAMP IS GLOWIING.RESET SPS MASTER TRIP RELAY FIRST BY
PRESSING RESET PUSH BUTTON.LED WILL BECOME OFF AFTER RESET.SPS CAN BE
TAKEN INTO SERVICE ONLY AFTER MASTER TRIP RESET.

BUTTON,SPS SELECTOR SWITCH
2. INDICATING LAMPS ARE PROVIDED IN CONTROL ROOM PANEL TO INDICATE THE SPS
STATUS TO OPERATOR AS PER THE SPS SELECTION.
BLUE LED :- FOR UNIT#1 IN SPS SERVICE
YELLOW LED :- FOR UNIT#2 IN SPS SERVICE
RED LED :- FOR SPS SERVICE IN “OFF” CONDITION

3. ALARMS ARE PROVIDED IN INDIVIDUAL UNIT ANNUNCIATION PANELS FOR
INDICATION OF “SPS TRIP”.
