    PARTICULAR REQUIREMENTS FOR


    CONTROL PANELS FOR
    ac CRANES (First Revision)
    IPSS

    IPSS:1-04-042-03
    Formerly :
    IPSS: 1-10-011-84

    Based on IS 8623 (Part-1):1993

    FOREWORD

    0.1

    This Interplant Standard has been prepared by the Standards Committee on


    Switchgears and Controlgears, IPSS 1:4 with the active participation of the
    representatives of the steel plants, concerned organizations and established
    manufacturers of Cranes; and was adopted in December 2003.

    0.2

    Inter Plant Standards for steel industry primarily aim at achieving rationalization
    and unification of parts and assemblies used in steel plant equipment and
    accessories, and provide guidance in indenting stores or equipment (or while
    placing orders for additional requirements) by individual steel plants. For
    exercising effective control on inventories, it is advisable to select a fewer
    number of sizes/types from among those mentioned in this standard, for the
    purpose of company standards of individual steel plants. It is not desirable to
    make deviations in technical requirements.

    0.3

    The requirements of control panels for cranes are being covered in three
    separate Inter Plant Standards as follows :
    a)

    1-04-041-03

    General requirements for control panels for cranes


    (first revision)

    b)

    1-04-042-03

    Particular requirements for control panels for ac cranes


    (first revision)

    c)

    1-04-043-03

    Particular requirements of control panels for dc cranes


    (first revision)

    Consequently these Inter Plant Standards are to be read in conjunction with


    one another.
    0.4

    The provisions of the Indian Electricity Rules, 1956 and other statutory
    regulations of the government of India and the relevant State Govt shall apply
    in addition to the various requirements specified in the Inter Plant Standards
    indicated in 0.3.

    1/6

    IPSS:1-04-042-03
    0.5

    This standard is generally based on IS 8623 (Part-1):1993 `Specification for

    CONTROL SCHEMES OF ac CRANES WITH ac CONTROL SYSTEM

    12.1

    General

    12.1.1

    The control shall be fully magnetic unless otherwise specified.

    12.1.2

    Control of various motors shall be through cam operated master


    controllers (IPSS:1-10-005-81) operating over contactors and relays
    conforming the relevant Inter Plant Standards.

    12.1.3

    Specifications of various components are not covered in this standard.

    12.1.4

    Unless otherwise specified the sequence of operation shall be


    automatic with time delay relays. The secondary resistances and time
    relays shall be so adjusted that the peak accelerating or decelerating
    transient torque is limited to 180 percent of the full load motor torque.

    12.1.5

    If an accelerating contactor or relay fails in service the next accelerating


    step shall be automatically locked out.

    12.1.6

    All directional contactors shall be electrically and mechanically


    interlocked to prevent simultaneous closing to both.

    12.1.7

    Unless otherwise specified the control shall be through 4/5 notches in


    each direction of the controller.

    12.1.8

    OFF position of master controller shall be interlocked to feed the


    control supply through a control contactor so that in the event of any
    fault the controller is brought to OFF position to restart the motion.

    12.1.9

    Normally closed contacts of the over-load relay shall be interlocked with


    the respective control contactors.

    12.1.10

    The contactor closing sequence diagram and the master controller


    control diagram shall be represented in the individual circuits.

    12.1.11

    All time delay circuitry shall be designed to suit only ON delay timers.

    12.1.12

    A common circuit breaker incorporating short circuit and over-load


    protection and under-voltage coil shall be provided for the entire crane.
    Individual drives shall not be provided with circuit breakers. The circuit
    breaker shall be mounted either in the operators cabin or any other

    4/6

    IPSS:1-04-042-03
    position convenient to the operator. Provision shall be made in
    undervoltage coil of circuit breaker to prevent closing the circuit breaker
    in case any of the contactors is welded in any circuit.
    12.1.13

    An off-load isolator is to be replaced ahead of the circuit breaker.


    Additionally each panel shall have its own isolator. The main off-load
    isolator is to be located on the crane bridge above the girder where
    protective panel is placed.

    12.1.14

    To avoid light flicker due to successive switching of high capacity


    inductor motor, the lighting connection is necessarily to be taken from
    main protective panel over amply rated double winding lighting
    transformer having sufficient reactance. It is desirable to provide a
    lighting transformer having a nominal secondary lighting voltage of 240
    V, 50 Hz with its mid point suitably tapped and solidly earthed to reduce
    the shock voltage to 120 V only for maintenance and operational
    personnel.

    12.1.15

    ac supply for magnet shall be tapped from incoming of main CB after


    the main isolator in case of magnet cranes.

    12.2

    Control Scheme for Hoist

    12.2.1

    General requirements

    12.2.1.1

    For hoist motions the circuit shall enable any load up to test load to be
    lowered with safety and the motor shall remain stable with the controller
    in all positions.

    12.2.1.2

    Hoisting shall take place only when the master controller is in hoisting
    position and similarly lowering all loads up to rated load shall take place
    when the master controller is in the lowering position.

    12.2.1.3

    Hoist control shall be so designed that the hoist brake shall arrest
    positively whenever motor power fails due to any reason.

    12.2.1.4

    If directional contactor drops out in operation, the electro-mechanical


    braking shall be instantly applied to hold the load from over speeding
    and to bring the motor to a rapid standstill.

    12.2.1.5

    All hoists shall be provided with `Anti drop features in order to prevent
    the load from moving away when the controller is brought to OFF
    position. Unless otherwise specified, this shall be achieved by a
    switching combination of an auxiliary contactor and a time delay relay
    providing automatic plugging control when the controller is brought to
    OFF position from lowering positions. Similarly when moved from

    5/6

    IPSS:1-04-042-03
    hoisting or counter torque positions to OFF position the hoist contactor
    shall remain energized for the set time by the above relay.
    12.2.1.6

    All hoists shall be provided with counter torque braking feature. When
    the controller is moved rapidly from the lowering load, a time delay relay
    shall prevent the rotor contactors from being enerized. The motor shall
    initially be braked with full rotor resistance in circuit and after predetermined period of time the first rotor contactor shall pick up. If the
    starting of the motion is not desired in the hoisting direction the operator
    can bring the controller to OFF position.

    12.2.2

    Classification of hoists

    12.2.2.1

    The hoist mechanism of various cranes in iron and steel works can be
    broadly classified as follows :
    a)

    Hot metal ladle cranes, rolling mill erection cranes, etc where
    special creep speed control with flat characteristics is necessary;

    b)

    Tongs cranes such as stripper, mould yard, soaker cranes, etc


    where the weight of tongs constitute a base load of about 50 per
    cent.

    c)

    Grab hoist cranes; and

    d)

    All other general handling cranes including magnet hoists.

    12.2.2.2

    The special requirements of control schemes for operations like


    stripping, tongs closing, slewing, luffing and tipping shall be specified by
    the purchaser.

    12.2.2.3

    When twin motor drive is used in hoists as in ladle cranes, provisions


    shall be made to operate with a single motor with full load. Control
    scheme for two motors shall be similar to the one for single motor
    excepting the provisions of additional selector switches and control
    contactors.
