Electrical Systems 1
Switches
A switch is a device intended for making, breaking or changing connections in an electric circuit
under rated load conditions. A switch is not designed to interrupt or break a short circuit.
Switches are connected in series with a load.
Switches are available in a variety of configurations and ratings. The following ratings and
configurations appear on switches:
1. Voltage rating
2. Current rating (maximum continuous current the switch may carry)
3. AC or AC/DC
4. Duty (light, heavy, motor)
5. Horsepower rating
6. The number of poles
7. The number of closed positions
8. Type of approved loads
Manufacturers have provided a wide selection of switches that meet the needs of industry. Canrig
uses the Allen-Bradley Bulletin 800T line of switches. Types used are knob operated, push
button, keyed, joystick, 2 position, 3 position, maintain, spring return, … As you can see, the
combinations are endless.

Switches have contacts and one or more poles. Each contact is operated by the movement of a
pole. Switch terminology reveals the number of poles and the number of contacts. The movement
of the pole is called the throw.
Protection
Principles
Several factors must be considered when determining the type and amount of protection needed
for an electrical circuit. Perhaps the most important consideration is that electric power systems
must be designed to serve loads in a safe and reliable manner. Various forms of protective
devices are available to protect electrical circuits, equipment and personnel from injury under
abnormal conditions. Some of the abnormal conditions are:
1. Overload – current exceeds rated values; usually no greater than 6 times rated value.
2. Short circuit – excessive currents at least 6 times above rated value are flowing.
3. Underload – Current or power flow decreases below a predetermined value.
4. Undervoltage – Source voltage drops below a tolerable predetermined value.
5. Overvoltage – Source voltage rises above a tolerable predetermined value.
6. Reverse phase rotation – Source phase sequence is reversed from a predetermined order.
7. Phase unbalance – polyphase currents (three phase) are not equal and balanced.
8. Reverse current – Currents are flowing out of a circuit instead of into a circuit.
9. Ground fault – Electrical circuit is unintentionally in contact with ground or earth.
Overloads and short circuits impose excessive heating and mechanical stressing on electrical
components. To reduce the hazards that accompany a condition of overcurrent, fuses and circuit
breakers are installed in the electrical system. Overcurrent causes the wire to become hot and
can cause fires and explosions. Overcurrent is caused by a variety of electrical problems, such as
loose connections, ground fault, short circuit, defective resistance, too many loads, etc.
An overload can range between twice to ten time’s normal current. A ground fault or short
circuit permits large overcurrent, exceeding normal by hundreds of times.
Page 2
Electrical Systems I
Circuit Protectors
Fuses and circuit breakers are used to protect electrical circuits, not people. Circuit protectors are
designed to stop the flow of current when amperage exceeds the safe limits. The amperage
rating of the circuit protector must not be greater than the ampacity of the wires being protected.
Circuit protectors are designed to detect excessive current and open the circuit before the wires
become hot. Circuit protectors are installed in the main power supply and in each branch circuit
downstream from the mains. A blown fuse in a branch circuit confines the problem to a specific
area.
Fuses
The fuse is a simple but reliable overcurrent protection device. A low impedance link is
encapsulated in an insulating fiber tube or a porcelain cup. The electrical resistance of the link is
very low and acts as a good conductor. However, the link has a lower melting point than the
copper conductor to which it is connected.
When destructive currents occur, the fuse link responds and melts. The amount of excess
current determines how fast the fusible link melts. High current caused by a short circuit causes
the link to vaporize instantly. An overload causes a slow build-up of heat, and the link melts
slowly. Fuses will blow in one to fifteen minutes on a 50% overload. Most fuses will withstand a
10% overload indefinitely.
The fuse is designed to be the weak link in the electrical circuit, and should open before any
damage occurs to the circuit conductors or to other circuit components and loads.
Blown Fuse Indicators
These indicators only light up when the circuit is live (being activated). For example, the blown
fuse indicator for a blown brake solenoid fuse will not light up until the brake is activated.
Circuit Breakers
A circuit breaker is a device that is designed to manually open and close a circuit, and to open
automatically on a pre-determined overcurrent, without damage to itself, when properly applied
within its ratings.
Excess amperage causes the contacts to trip-open and move to the mid-position. A tripped
breaker indicates that too many amperes are flowing in that circuit. To reset a tripped breaker, it
must be turned off and then reset to the on position.
Low voltage (600V or less) breakers are most commonly molded case. They are available in
current ratings from 15 to 3000 A and current interrupting ratings from 10,000 to 200,000 A. The
purpose of the molded case is to provide an insulated enclosure on which to mount all of the
circuit breaker components.
Magnetic circuit breakers provide short circuit protection only and are equipped with adjustable
trip settings. They are commonly used to provide short circuit protection for motors.
Integrally fused circuit breakers are used in systems where very high short circuit current
exists, and the rating of the circuit breaker is not sufficient to handle these currents.
Page 3
Molded case circuit breaker accessories

Numerous accessories are available for molded case circuit breakers:
1. Shunt trip: used to electrically trip a circuit breaker from a remote location. Consists of a
momentary rated solenoid-tripping device mounted in the breaker and energized by either an
AC or DC voltage.
2. Undervoltage release: An electro-mechanical device, which consists of a spring and solenoid,
mounted on the inside of the breaker. When the voltage falls below 40 to 60% of the
solenoid coil rating, the solenoid will cause the breaker to trip.
3. Auxiliary contacts: Normally open and/or normally closed contacts mounted in the breaker
that will change position whenever the breaker is opened or closed.
4. Alarm contacts: Normally open contacts that close only when the breaker has tripped due to
an overcurrent condition.
5. Motor operators: Electrically driven motor unit that has an operating arm attached to the
breaker handle allowing for remote control of the breaker.

Contactors
A contactor operates like a relay, but has heavy-duty contacts for controlling large loads. Contactors are
rated for the maximum amperage flow through the contacts for a specific voltage. An oversized contactor
is okay, but undersizing results in burned out contacts. It is normal for contacts to be pitted and burned
due to arcing.
The heavy-duty contacts are controlled by a magnetic coil located inside the contactor. The coil has its
own terminals for making electrical connections. The contacts are normally open, but when the coil is
energized, magnetism snaps the contacts into a closed position. When the coil is de-energized, all
contacts snap open. Snap action happens quickly to reduce arcing of the contacts under load conditions.
The coil voltage is normally different than the voltage through the contacts. Low voltage is safer for
control circuits to the magnetic coil. This permits the use of a small switch to control a large motor. The
switch controls the coil, but the coil controls the large contacts.

Motors and Starters

AC Polyphase Motors
Three phase motors are the most common types in industry. Their simple design, reliability,
ruggedness, low maintenance, good efficiency, lower cost, and ability to handle temporary
overloads has led to their widespread popularity.
There are three groups of AC three phase motors:
- squirrel cage induction
- wound rotor
- synchronous
Three phase motor windings are connected either in a wye or delta configuration. This
information is either stated on the nameplate or in the junction box. Power supply (L1, L2, and L3)
is connected to motor terminals T1, T2, and T3. The numbering sequence makes no difference
but does effect direction of rotation. Rotation is chanjed by swapping connections with any two
power supply wires.
Nameplate Data
The rating of an electric motor includes the following information, which is generally required for
ordering purposes:
Service classification
Voltage – NEMA has standard nominal voltage ratings for 3 phase motors: 110, 208, 220, 440,
550
Full Load Amperage – the current that the motor will be drawing when operated at rated speed
and producing rated output power.
Speed – Typical speeds are 1200, 1800, 3600 RPM
Frame size – NEMA has a standardized method of sizing the frames of motors.
Horsepower – the allowable load that a motor may carry without injury to any part of the motor.
Additional information found on the nameplate is phases, frequency, power factor, insulation
class, duty classification and enclosure type.
Induction Motors
Over 90% of all motors are induction type and operate on alternating current. A motor converts
electrical energy into mechanical energy. When the rotor cannot turn in a normal manner, the
motor converts electrical energy into heat energy and the motor burns out. The two most common
motor problems are: the rotor is unable to turn, or the rotor is turning too slowly. Both problems
produce excess motor heat and results in a motor burnout.
Motor Parts
The rotor and the stator are the two main parts of a motor. The rotor is the part that rotates, and
the stator is a circular arrangement of stationary electromagnets. The rotor fits closely inside the
circular electromagnets, but can rotate freely. Endbells and bearings are used at each end of the
motor and the entire assembly is bolted together.
Page 5
Starters
For every AC motor there is a motor starter nearby that controls and protects the motor and the
motor circuit. There are three principal ways of starting polyphase motors:
1. Full voltage
2. Reduced voltage
a. autotransformer
b. part winding
c. wye-delta
3. Solid state controller – provides both reduced starting voltage and stepless speed control.
Full voltage non-reversing electromagnetic starters are the most commonly used controllers. It
provides both on-off control and protection.
The starting current of a motor may be 6 to 7 times greater than its operating current, and
overcurrent devices are sized to avoid nuisance tripping. Overload protection is provided by
sensing the operating current and causing the control circuit to be interrupted if a sustained
overload should occur.
Canrig uses a modular starter system in the CIP comprised of a manual interrupter and trip unit
which together make up a circuit breaker. When mounted with a contactor module, this makes up
an integrated starter.

NO set (1.13 & 1.14). Some contact blocks also have a NC set of contacts, which we don’t use.
On-Board MCC
Top drives with on-board MCC also use a modular starter system. These starters are mounted in
an explosion proof enclosure on the top drive unit. These starters have a similar adjustment to
those mounted inside the CIP. The major difference is these starters will automatically reset after
they cool down, usually under a minute.

DC Motors
A DC motor principally consists of a main frame, field poles, field pole windings, armature
structure, armature windings, commutator, brushes, shaft bearings and an end bell structure.
Torque is rotational energy and is defined as a force acting through a distance that tends to
cause an object to rotate. A DC motor produces torque through the interaction of the magnetic
field of the rotor and the magnetic field of the armature circuit.
Operation
A DC motor operates on the principles of

magnetism, and the fact that like magnetic
poles repel while unlike poles attract.
N
Brushes rub on the commutator surface of the
armature to apply power to the correct
armature coils needed to make the armature
turn.
There are three common wiring connections: shunt, series, and compound. Each of these wiring
connections will produce a different operating characteristic.
Shunt motors
Shunt motors have the characteristic of developing low starting torques but good speed
regulation.
Shunt Motors
The word “shunt” means parallel. What this

means is that the armature circuit and the field
circuit are connected in parallel. Usually they
are powered from two separate sources: the
SCR powers the armature circuit and the field
A F supply powers the field coils.
Page 8
Series Motors
Series motors develop high starting torques with poor speed regulation. The speed of a series
motor varies greatly depending on the load.
Series Motors
The word “series” means one after the other.
What this means is that the armature circuit
and the field circuit are powered from the
same source, connected one after the other.
The SCR powers both circuits.
Page 9
Transformers
Operating Principles
A transformer is a static electromagnetic device with no moving parts. It transfers electrical
energy from one circuit to another by using the principle of induction. In its most simple form, the
transformer consists of two sets of windings wound on one common laminated iron core, as
shown in the illustration.
The winding that is connected to the source voltage is called the primary winding, and the winding
that is connected to the load is known as the secondary winding.
There are certain fundamental relationships between the primary and the secondary sides of the
transformer. The magnitude of the primary voltage and the secondary voltage is directly related
to the number of turns in the windings and is known as the turns ratio.
The voltage of the secondary circuit may be higher than the primary circuit if the number of
secondary winding turns are greater than those of the primary, and vice versa. Therefore,
transformers can step up voltage, step down voltage or isolate voltage.
Work only with AC or pulsed DC.
The ratio of the turns of wire in the primary and

secondary coils determines the primary and
secondary voltage ratio.
Transformers are rated in volt-amperes or more often in kilo-volt-amperes (kVA). The kVA rating
of the transformer refers to the capacity of the primary circuit as well as the capacity of the
secondary circuit. The kVA of the primary approximately equals the kVA of the secondary. It
becomes apparent that if the voltage is stepped down then the current is stepped up.
Transformers transmit power; they don’t consume it (in theory). They get hot due to frictional
losses. They operate at efficiencies of 96% to 99%. The higher the efficiency, the lower the
temperature at which it operates.

Grounding
The importance of grounding of electrical systems and electrical distribution equipment cannot be
overstated. Under normal conditions, an electrical system can continue to operate even without
proper grounding. It is not until an abnormal condition has occurred that the importance of good
grounding becomes evident.
There are five principle reasons for grounding systems and circuits:
1. To limit the voltage rise on the system due to a lightening strike.
2. To limit the voltage rise due to line switching surges.
3. To limit the voltage rise as a result of accidental contact with a higher system voltage.
4. To stabilize the voltage to ground (prevent floating neutral condition) during normal
operations.
5. To facilitate the operation of overcurrent devices (circuit breakers, fuses, protective relays) in
the case of a ground fault on a solidly grounded system.
The five reasons for grounding systems and circuits may be summarized by these two grounding
purposes:
1. To protect maintenance personnel and the public from all exposed surfaces of electrical
apparatus and to insure that the portions of equipment that people can contact will not be at a
voltage value higher than the ground potential.
2. To protect electrical equipment from disturbances that may interfere with its normal operation
or result in equipment failure.

Component Functionality
TDSU
The TDSU (Top Drive Support Unit) is a prepackaged building that can be configured in several
different ways: 10 ft. long for offshore applications or 40 ft. long for land applications. It contains
the SCR/VFD, CIP, HPU and sometimes has spare parts storage.
10 ft. TDSU building – offshore application
40 ft TDSU building – land application
Feeder Breaker
This is a circuit breaker normally mounted in the Drilling Rig’s SCR room to supply AC power to
the Canrig TDSU building.
Page 12
SCR
The function of the SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier) is to convert incoming AC power into
variable output DC power.
Canrig uses two makes of SCR. They are Ross Hill Controls and Tech Power controls.
Generator Control
The Generator Unit controls the engine/generator set to develop a constant AC supply. Each
Generator Unit’s AC Control Module has an electronic engine governor, a voltage regulator and a
circuit breaker. This is usually incorporated into the SCR cabinet.
CIP
The CIP (Control and Interface Panel) is the brains behind the control system. All information is
collected here via the PLC and distributed to the various components. For example, a throttle
signal from the Driller’s Console is received at the CIP and converted to the appropriate signal
and sent to the SCR. The SCR would then increase the voltage to the DC motor causing an
increase in speed.
The CIP contains other items such as the reversing field supply, circuit breakers, power supplies
and transformers.

PLC
A programmable logic controller is a solid-state control system with a user-programmable
memory that reads input conditions and sets output conditions to control a machine or process.
They are made up from the following components:
Rack or Chassis
Power Supply
CPU (Central Processing Unit)

Megohmmeter Test
Lift the brushes and perform a megohmmeter test on

the armature windings and field coils to determine the
condition of the insulation. A reading of less than 2
megohms indicates poor insulation, dirt accumulation or
excessive moisture.
Bar–To–Bar Resistance Test
Test for open or short–circuited armature coils.
1. Pass a regulated d–c current through the arma-

ture coils.
2. Read the voltage drop between the commutator

bars with a millivoltmeter. if the reading varies
more than +/– 5% from the average value, a de-
fective or short–circuited coil is indicated.

HANDLING
To avoid damage to the machine during handling, re-

view the following cautionary statements:
1. Do not lift motors by the shaft extension of the ar-

mature.
2. Do not allow the armature to bump another ob-

ject.
3. Do not tighten coupling assembly bolts with an

air wrench or by pounding.
4. Do not remove armature end–play by any other

means than axial blocking.
5. Do not load the armature radially (strap down) for

shipment.

bearings should be inspected and repacked with
new grease meeting the recommended GE lubri-

Before placing a stored motor back into service, refer

to the applicable instruction “Removing Motors From

REMOVING FROM STORAGE
Before placing a stored motor in service, perform the

following:
