Introduction
C18 Feeder is one of the two main trunk feeders of 13.2 KV coming from PH-3 to BH-1 and supplies power to the West Plant area such as Blast Furnaces , Blower and Pump Houses , Spares Manufacturing etc.If this feeders trip, there will be load shedding to critical plants. The closing power to the breaker is 250 v DC & trip power is 48v DC.The closing & and trip power is tapped from the same supply.
The Breaker is of FERGUSION & PALIN make OCB and installed in the year 1951.

The System•The Axial Blower at BH#2 is a steam driven turbo blower and supplies cold blast air to ‘F’ Blast Furnace at a flow 1,50,000 Nm3/hr at a pressure of 2.6 bar gauge for meeting iron. This turbo blower was commissioned in the year 1982 and is of GHH Germany make and the Turbine is supplied by m/s BHEL.The Turbine governing system was originally fitted with Askania regulatorand due to failure of Askania regulator system has been retrofitted with in house developed Electronic Governor..The Electronic Governor speed used to fluctuate occasionally about 200rpm.Due to this problem we have hired the services of M/S Turbo Machinery Hyderabad,for rectification of the problem .They came here and did the modifications in the oil lines and the system has worked satisfactorily for about 2 weeks.•The turbine speed governing mechanism is electro-hydraulic and totally depends on the oil pressure. The minimum oil pressure required for smooth operation of the turbine is 6.5 bar. This oil pressure is developed by means of 3 pumps.one running & 2 standby.
PLANNED MAINTENANCE
FAILURE ANALYSIS - 2
The System
• Normally, when the machine is in normal operation the shaft driven oil pump supplies the oil pressure. During start up of the machine steam driven pump develops the pressure and it is put off once the shaft driven MOP takes over. Separate steam driven AOP is a stand by pump. The turbine can be tripped electrically as well as mechanically. The electrical trip interlocks are ‘lube oil pressure low low’, ‘Turbine and Compressor Axial shaft low’ and Mechanical trips are ‘trip oil pressure low’ . ‘over speed’ and by operating manual trip gear.•The Turbine speed control is done by sensing the speed of the turbine shaft by means of three speed pickups and is compared against a set point in a controller and the output of the controller is given to a EHC. Control oil pressure is derived from MOP through a pressure regulator is given as input to EHC for developing secondary oil pressure for controlling steam inlet valve position for controlling the speed.

• Suddenly the machine tripped.
• Emergency systems such as start up of Auxiliary oil pump and start upof emergency air worked properly.

Observation on trip oil pressure vs turbine speed
Minimum oil pressure required to hold ESV valve is 4.0 barCause of trip : sudden increase in load use to reduce the turbine speed hence reduction in trip oil pressure due to more consumption of oil in EHCCircuit.

The System
•There are two nos of Demag make Turbo Blowers at BH #3 and supplies about 170’000 NM3/Hr. at a pressure of 2.6 Bar to ‘F’ Blast furnace.•These two blowers run in parallel with load sharing control.•The discharged flow of the blowers is controlled by varying the speed of the turbines and inlet guide vanes of the blower.•The speed is varied from 0 to 7900 rpm and the blade angle of the compressor is varied from +40 deg. To -14 deg.•The two Blowers have separate anti surge control ,individual flow control and common flow control.

Trends
From this observation we checked the inter connection valve. Found the valve indication was showing closed . When we rotated the valve manually , it got closed further 4 turns.
From this it was understood that the main cause was “Disturbed Close limit switch position”.

The valve was manually closed fully and valve open / closelimit switch has been readjusted.
