Note. CORRECTION OF INSULATION RESISTANCE TEST RESULTS AT STANDARD
TEMP ERATURE 20 °C
Because most of the insulation materials have a negative temperature co-efficient i.e. , the resistance
decreases with increase in temperature, so the IR value should be corrected to a standard temperature
of 20 °C.
Roughly IR value decreases to ½ of its value for every 10 °C rise in the temperature above 20
°C. So for correction at 20 °C, for every 10 °C rise in the temperature above 20 °C, increase the
measured value to 2 times. Formula for accurate temperature correction calculations;
IR 20 = IRt x 2^(t – 20) /10
where IR 20 is the corrected value at 20°C, t is the temperature of insulation mass and IRt is
the measured insulation resistance value at temperature t °C.
IR value is usually in mega ohms (M Ω).

Note. CORRECTION OF WINDING RESISTANCE TEST RESULTS AT STANDARD


TEMPERATURE 75 °C
The measured of winding resistance value should be corrected to a standard temperature of 75 °C.
R 75 = Rt (235 + 75) / (235 + t) Ω
where R 75 is the corrected value at 75°C, t is the winding temperature and Rt is the measured
winding resistance value at temperature t °C.

6. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND CHECKS OF PROTECTION
RELAYS AND INSTRUMENTAION (P&I)

Preventive maintenance is a cycle of planned inspections, work activities and tests to


be implemented to get and ensure for safe and reliable performance of different
equipment and infrastructure components of the grid system. The maintenance cycle
or frequency of implementation is given in terms of time-periods which can be
modified due to weather conditions and constraints of the man-hours and quantity of
the equipment in the jurisdiction of the work crew.

Periodic maintenance tests of protection relays/instruments and other devices are


required to identify failure and degradation in service, so that corrective action can be
taken. Because a protection scheme only operates under fault conditions, defects may
not be revealed for a significant period of time, until a fault occurs. Regular testing
assists in detecting faults that would otherwise remain undetected until a fault occurs.

The check sheets given hereunder describe only the maintenance schedules and
checks/tests in terms of what to do and when to do. For the aspect of how to do, one
should consult relevant manufacturer’s instructions, TSG training course books and/or
TSG technical experts. In addition to the inspection and maintenance activities given
in this SOP, manufacturer’s recommended instructions are also applicable.

The symbols used for time-periods for inspection and maintenance/frequency of


implementation are as under:

D stands for daily,


W stands for weekly,
M stands for monthly,
Y stands for yearly.

7. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND CHECKS OF TRANSMISSION
LINES

Preventive maintenance is a cycle of planned inspections, work activities and tests to


be implemented to get and ensure for safe and reliable performance of different
equipment and infrastructure components of the grid system. The maintenance cycle
or frequency of implementation is given in terms of time-periods which can be
modified due to weather conditions and constraints of the man-hours and quantity of
the equipment in the jurisdiction of the work crew.

The check sheets given hereunder describe only the maintenance schedules and
checks/tests in terms of what to do and when to do. For the aspect of how to do, one
should consult relevant TSG training course books and/or TSG technical experts. In
addition to the inspection and maintenance activities given in this SOP,
manufacturer’s recommended instructions are also applicable.

The symbols used for time-periods for inspection and maintenance/frequency of


implementation are as under:

D stands for daily,


W stands for weekly,
M stands for monthly,
Y stands for yearly.
