Action to be Taken by Division Authority as per Visual Inspection Findings

Sl. No. Equipment Remarks
1. Oil leakages were found from Top Sampling Valve & R Phase LV Bushing. These oil leakages must be arrested.
Low oil level has been found on main conservator tank. Action must be taken to maintain desired oil level in the transformer as per
2. PTR-1 oil filling procedure of manufacturer.
3. Main Tank Breather oil pot & OLTC Breather Oil Pot were been found empty. Appropriate action should be taken.
Oil leakages were found from-
i. Top Sampling valve
ii. HV Side Top Tank
iii. Top side Radiator Valve near B Phase HV Bushing
iv. Y phase HV Bushing
4.
v. Bottom side Radiator valve near HV Y Phase
PTR-2 vi. LV Side Top Tank
vii. Top side radiator Valve near LV R & Y Phase
viii. Bottom side Radiator valve near all LV Phases
- These oil leakages must be arrested.
It has been observed in POG that air is present in the conservator tank. The bellow of the PTR is not properly filled with air.
5.
Appropriate action to be taken to rectify the problem.
6. Oil pot of main tank breather was found empty. Appropriate action to be taken.
Oil leakages were found from-
i. HV Side Top Tank
7. PTR-3 ii. Top side radiator Valve near HV R Phase
iii. B Phase LV Bushing
-These oil leakages must be arrested.
8. Oil pot of main tank breather was found empty. Appropriate action to be taken.
9. Trip Circuit-1 & 2 Unhealthy were indicating on the Relay. Necessary action is to be taken.
TC-2 Healthy indication was not glowing. Thus, TC-2 is to be checked. Through maintenance of the auxiliary contact of the Breaker
10.
to be done.
11. Oil leakages was found from Bottom Drain valve. This oil leakage must be arrested.
12. Station Service Transformer Oil Level is to be checked. If found low, necessary action is to be taken.
13. 33KV CT Sonarpur Ckt all CTs were out of circuit. Necessary action is to be taken.
14. 33KV VCB PTR-2 VCB is to be cleaned.
33KV panel voltage drops to 24.6V when charger AC input is ON and 22.5V when charger AC input is OFF. Problem found in battery
charger. Hence the charger is unable to send the battery voltage to 33 KV panel when AC input is OFF. So, Charger output voltage to
be increased to such a value that sufficient voltage can reach to the panels. Cross section of the cables (From charger to panels) to
15.
be checked and increased if necessary.
Battery & Battery Charger Also, 1 No. of 33KV battery cell found to be defective. Specific gravity of Battery 6 & 7 were found to be 1100. Necessary action to
be taken towards replacement of the defective battery cells with the healthy one of the same rating.
100AH battery cells are charged with 16A battery charger (Charger -2). Appropriate action is to be taken to replace the charger
16.
with 35A battery charger for healthy life of cells.
17. Water top up is required at some of the cells of 11KV battery set.
Rust formation on Iron Structures, Isolator handles, CT JB, PT JB, CT Body, Station Service Transformer Conservator Tank at
18. Rusted Iron Structures switchyard were observed. The same must be cleaned and painted with red lead and Zinc.
