III. CLASSIFICATION OF ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT

Electrical equipment systems includes: primary system, secondary system, DC system, control system:
1. Primary system: The primary system includes generators, motors, transformers, switches, isolator
(isolation switches), high and low voltage feeders and cables, and leads for access systems.
2. Secondary system: The secondary system is a system served for operation, control, protection, automatic
device, monitoring, etc. for a system service.
3, DC system: DC system is DC power supply, which provides power supply for primary and secondary
system, it is also regarded as a safety power supply for the plants.

III. CLASSIFICATION OF ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT

1. Primary equipment. The equipment which are used for direct production and transmission and distribution is called
primary equipment (also called primary system). The electric power is generated from the generator and distributed
directly to the electric appliance through a series of primary equipment, thus to complete the entire process of
production, transmission and usage of electric power. The primary equipment mainly includes generators and
transformers.Pressures, circuit breakers, disconnectors, current limiting reactors, busbars, cables and mutual inductors
2. Secondary equipment. Auxiliary equipment which are used for monitoring, measuring, controlling and protecting the
work of primary equipment is called secondary equipment (also called secondary system). The secondary equipment
mainly includes instruments, signals, and relays and automatic control equipment, etc.
3.Main electrical wiring. In power plant and substation, in order to meet the needs of various operating modes, different
electrical equipment are connected in a certain sequence according to requirements, forming a permnent connected
circuit. The circuit connected by primary equipment is called primary circuit or electrical main wiring.
4. Circuit breaker (QF) is a special electrical device used to turn the circuit on and off in the normal or faulty state of
circuit. The contact part of the circuit breaker is equipped with a special arc extinguishing device. The arc extinguishing
device can quickly extinguish the arc between the contacts during the process of cutting off the circuit, so that the
circuit is reliably and quickly disconnected. If the system fails, the relay protection device acts and automatically
disconnects the circuit breaker to disconnecting the fault point from the normal part of the system to keep the normal
part of the electric power system running. Circuit breaker includes the following types: 1, Air circuit breaker 2, vacuum
circuit breaker. 3. SF6 circuit breaker
 15MW DMCI Masbate Thermal Power Plant (DMTPP)

III. CLASSIFICATION OF ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT

5. Isolating switch (QS). There are no special arc extinguishing devices for the contacts of the isolating
switch. It is not able to reliaby extinguish the arc generated between the contacts during the process of
cutting off the circuit. The isolating switch is mainly to isolate the voltage and switch the circuit. The
isolating switch is often connected in series with the circuit breaker to the circuit. In the normal operation,
the circuit breaker is used to cut off the circuit, and then pull off the isolating switch to isolate the voltage:
only if the loop current is small (such as the voltage transformer circuit), can the isolating switch be
allowed to switch on the circuit.
6. Current limiting reactor (L). The current limiting reactor is essentially a large capacity hollow core
inductance coil. Because it has a large reactance value, it is serially connected to the power supply line.
When a short circuit fault occurs on the line side, the short circuit current is limited due to the increase of
the total reactance, and the bus bar has a high residual voltage, thus reducing the impact on normal
power supply to non-faulty lines.
7. busbar. The busbar acts a role to collect and distribute electric power.
8. Transformer：The transformer includes voltage transformer (also called PT)the symbol is TA. The
current transformer (also called CT) is indicated with symbol TV. Transformer is a communicating device
between the primary system and secondary system in electric power system.

the light standby protection of the transformer in the cold standby state should still be put into signal to monitor the oil level. During
operation of the transformer heavy gas protection, the switching to signal should be agreed with the specialty personnel of relay
protection and approved by the chief engineer.
1.11.When filling the transformer in operation, the heavy gas protection should be switched to signal.
1.12.When the oil level indicated on the oil level gauge is abnormally elevated, open each venting or draining plug and valve to
identify the cause. It is necessary to. When checking the moisture absorber or performing other work, the heavy gas should be
switched to signal before it starts working to prevent the gas protection from malfunctioning tripping. After the work is completed,
check that the gas relay is normal and re-switch the heavy gas to trip.
1.13.During the earthquake forecast, or there is strong vibration nearby, (such as foundation piling of the house), the “ heavy gas
action ” protection should be switched to “ signal ”.

Plant Power Supply System
1.1.Auxiliary Power includes two voltage levels: 13.8KV and 460V.
1.2.Auxiliary power 13.8KV is single segment; auxiliary power 460V consists of two segments by the corresponding change of the main ,
auxiliary transformer, the transformer and the standby transformer of water.
1.3.The automatic switching device of the auxiliary standby power supply should be in good condition. After each maintenance, the
linkage test should be conduted accordingly.
1.4.When the low-voltage standby transformer works on a low-voltage bus-bar, the automatic switching device of the other low-voltage
bus-bars should be withdrawn.
1.5.Two auxiliary transformers in the same system are not allowed to be in parallel operation for long period of time regardless of whether
there is circulating current or scale of circulating current, they are only allowed to be in close loop operation for short-term during switching
operation.
1.6.After major maintenance, the phase of the transformer may change. During power transmission, the sequence and phase should be
verified on the low voltage side.
1.7.Close loop switching can be adopted to change the power supply mode of the auxiliary busbar, Before the switching operation, it is
necessary to check whether the working power supply and the standby power supply are operating in the same system, asynchronous
paralleling through auxiliary busbar of two systems should be strictly prevented.
1.8.The power for auxiliary worshop panel and standby power supply is generally not supplied by the same busbar. The switching should
not be in paralleling operation for a long period of time except it is necessary for operation.
1.9.Since the switching for some of the auxiliary workshops panels is mechanical blocking type, the panel will suffer power loss for a short
period of time when switching. Therefore, it should be prudent when switching the power supplies, take various measures to ensure that it
will not affect the production.
1.10.Connection of temporary power supply for maintenance from 460V auxiliary busbar and workshop panel of the operating unit is not
allowed, the temporary power supply for maintenance should be from the maintenance workshop panel.
