    Satya Barik
    The document provides maintenance reports for vacuum circuit breakers at a factory. Key findings include: 1) Maintenance was performed on central utility and unit 4 circuit breakers, including cleaning, greasing contacts, checking insulation and continuity. 2) Issues found were loose connections, blown fuses, and degraded insulation requiring replacement. 3) After repairs, insulation resistance values were satisfactory except for some phases requiring additional cleaning or tightening of connections.

    Detailed Report (Central Utility)

    • Jaw General Condition is Okay.


    • Contacts are Clean and No Physical
    Damage is observed. No sign Arcing
    or Flashing.
    • Properly Lubricated.
    • Jaw Gripping Spring Tension is Okay.
    • Natural Shine is there upon the
    insulation and no sign of tracking.
    • Slight Formation of Dust is observed
    and immediately cleaned.
    • PVC Debris of Control Cable is
    observed which might be resultant of
    previous Maintenance. Immediate
    Clearing was performed.
    • All Space Heaters are Okay except of
    TR1 Feeder, Those were replaced
    immediately and all heater’s
    resistance were checked.
    • Condition of Silica Desiccant is okay.
    No discoloration observed.
    • PT Fuses were checked and was seen
    in blown off condition in two phases
    i.e. R and B.
    • Heavy Oxidation was Observed at PT
    Fuse Contacts due to which Failure
    might have been happened.
    • Further Check Up suggested that
    Spring Tension at PT Fuse was low in
    both phases compared to Y Phase.
    • Spring Tension was enhanced.
    • New PT Fuses were installed of 36kV,
    3.15 A and PT Casing and Terminal
    was cleaned.
    • PT Neutral to Earth Links were Found
    Broken in all 3 Phases. Breaking
    reason has not been established yet.
    It might have happened due to
    mechanical stress as thickness is
    very low (0.45 mm)
    • The Neutral to Earth Links were
    replaced and restored by Cu Flexible
    2.5 SQMM Cable Links with 2.5
    SQMM Cu Lugs.
    • Proper Tightening with Spring Lock
    Washer was provided to prevent
    Looseness from Vibration caused by
    Magnetostriction.
    • PT was tested for IR Value.
    o R Ph – 18.1 GΩ
    o Y Ph – 6.95 GΩ
    o B Ph – 135 MΩ
    • CT Metering and Protection Core
    Analysis was done by Vendor
    System Protection and will be
    covered in a separate report.
    • Primary and Secondary Injection
    Testing was completed.

    • Slight discoloration was observed in


    Incomer Joint Kit Insulation.
    • No sign of Loose Contact or Signs of
    Arcing/Flash Over or Tracking.
    • CT Along with Cable’s IR Value was
    Tested for Incomer (Phase – Earth)
    o R Ph – 18.2 MΩ
    o Y Ph – 18.4 MΩ
    o B Ph – 19.1 MΩ
    Detailed Report (Unit 4)

    • Jaw General Condition is Okay.


    • Contacts are Clean and No Physical
    Damage is observed. No sign
    Arcing or Flashing.
    • Properly Lubricated.
    • Jaw Gripping Spring Tension is
    Okay.
    • Natural Shine is there upon the
    insulation and no sign of tracking.
    • While testing IR Value (5kV
    Injection) of Incomer Cable, slight
    arcing in the contacts was
    observed in Y and B Phase. It was
    established that those are due to
    lose contacts. This has resulted in
    a Heated Phase Barrier Plate.
    Refer Left Photograph.
    o R Ph – 366 MΩ
    o Y Ph – 6 MΩ
    o B Ph – 12 MΩ
    • Retightening was done, Y and B
    Phase Terminal was found loose,
    in all 3 Phases. Again, IR Value was
    tested. Below are the results.
    o R Ph – 87 MΩ
    o Y Ph – 16 MΩ
    o B Ph – 18 MΩ
    • Still corona discharge was
    observed from the inside of the
    Joint Kit Insulation while injecting
    5 kV. This might be result of
    derated heat shrunk insulation.

    • It is being planned to change as


    soon as possible. (Target Date: 18th
    Aug)
    • It was assumed one PT fuse was
    blown as Voltage was not being
    measured in one phase. But upon
    inspection it was seen that heavy
    oxidation was present in Fuse
    Terminals. No fuse was blown.
    Terminals were cleaned properly
    and refitted. By design there’s no
    spring cover support for Fuse
    Terminals. Hence Contact Area and
    Pressure might be variable around
    PT Fuse. Need to procure asap.
    • Signs of Tracking were observed in
    One PT (R Phase).
    • Upon IR Value (Phase-Earth)
    Checking following results were
    obtained.
    o R Ph – 8.92 GΩ
    o Y Ph – 12.2 GΩ
    o B Ph – 28.2 GΩ
    • All results are satisfactory. PTs
    were cleaned properly. Reason of
    Tracking to be investigated.
