The Hyderabad Unit of BHEL is located at Ramachandrapuram which is
around 30KM from the historic city of Charminar. Foundation Stone of the plant
was laid in 1959 and the production commenced in the year 1965. The Unit was
set up mainly to manufacture 60MW and 110MW Steam Turbo Generator sets
for State Electricity Boards and also 12 MW TG Sets. From this small beginning,
the Ramachandrapuram Unit has been growing steadily in different phases of
development and today it caters to a wide spectrum of business in Power,
Industry, Transmission, Oil and Gas. It now boasts the largest number of

3.21. CSP TECHNOLOGY AND COMPONENTS
CSP Technology shows the way out of this distressing situation.
Unfortunately, the advantages of CSP Technology are yet to be fully appreciated
by a majority of power utilities in developing countries. CSP technology enables a
transformer to protect itself from faults. The transformer is protected from
122
persistent overloads not cleared by conventional protective gear and causing
dangerous temperature rise. The distribution system to which it is connected is
protected from a transformer that has failed. The faulty transformer is isolated
and only consumer served by the transformer are affected. Protection from
lightning is most effective with the surge arrester mounted to the transformer tank
and directly connected to the HV bushing, reducing to the minimum the
impedance of the ground connection. The transformer is completely sealed.
There is no scope for ingress of moisture and pilferage of oil which is very
common, with disastrous consequences. The space above the oil level is filled
with nitrogen. The volume of the space above the oil level is not less than 55% of
the volume of oil. Thus expansion of oil is taken care of as well as the condition
of the oil. A pressure relief device takes care of undue pressure rises which
should be rare. CSP System has essentially components. They are:
3.21.1 THE EMERGENCY CONTROL
This device is provided when the power utility wants the facility of
immediate restoration of service in an emergency by closing the circuit breaker
even when the preset overloading limit is reached. Once the emergency control
is activated the circuit breaker is no longer thermally protecting the transformer
and significant insulation deterioration can occur if these high loads reoccur.
Once it becomes necessary to activate the emergency control, the power utility
should plan to change out the transformer for a larger size as soon as possible.
The emergency control linkages can be externally activated to increase the
amount of engagement of the main and signal light latches within the circuit
123
breaker which has the effect of requiring more bimetal strip movement to trip the
circuit breaker open and more bimetal movement requires higher temperature.
3.21.2 MAGENETIC TRIP
Certain circuit breakers are furnished with an instantaneous magnetic trip
element in addition to the standard bimetallic thermal trip element. The magnetic
trip element increases the opening speed of the circuit breaker under high fault
current conditions. This increased opening speed permits the circuit breaker to
interrupt larger values of fault current than would normally be possible. The
response of the circuit breaker to thermal activity is unchanged by the addition of
the magnetic trip element.
3.21.3 SURGE ARRESTER
The closer the surge arrester can be mounted to the transformer, the
shorter will be the ground lead connection between the arrester and the
transformer. The shorter this connection, the less will be the lightning surge
induced voltage stress on the transformer winding. When the surge arrester is
mounted directly to the transformer tank (as in the case of CSP transformer) the
ground lead length is effectively zero and maximum transformer protection is
obtained.
