facilities such as SCADA/ SAS links, transformer cooler control and data
logging, control of the OLTC, remote OLTC tap position indication in digital form
at local and the remote temperature indications for windings and top oil,
temperature alarms and trip, marshalling of other control and alarm functions,
emergency overload control, recording of accumulated “use of life” local display
of status of control and alarm functions and selection of local and remote
control etc.
The TCS equipment (other than HMI and microprocessor unit) shall be
located within the auxiliary marshalling cubicle and the Man Machine
Interfacing (MMI) unit in the transformer RTC control panel in the control room.
a) FUNCTIONS:
i) Monitoring:
The TCS shall be capable of monitoring the analog data and status signals
of the following:
Transformer LV load, voltage, tap changer status including tap position, tap
changing in progress, Tap changer control supply fail, 415V OLTC supply fail, Tap
changer incomplete, Tap changer out of step, OLTC upper limit reached, OLTC
lower limit reached, status of control switches with respect to OLTC and cooling,
OLTC motor current, OLTC motor trip, temperature difference between OLTC
compartment and main tank. Temperature and condition of the transformer
cooler status including top oil temperature, ambient temperature, winding hot
spot temperature, run status of cooler fans and / or pumps, fan and / or pump
trip, Alarm and Trip status of all the transformer mounted relays, Interface with
