 TPF/ Blackout.

CAUSES OF TPF:

Grid failure (No power in the entire grid) leading

to TPF.
Tripping all grid feeders (electrical faults)
leading to TPF.
Islanding from CPP end ,subsequently leading
to TPF
POWER NETWORK:

AFTER EFFECTS OF TPF

It takes more time to bring a unit, back to

full load after TPF.

Chances of Diaphragm failure of LPT

(more down time).

Chances of major equipment breakdown,

due to malfunction of DC drives.

Barring gear failure

(TG shaft getting stand still)
