B.3.2.1 SECTION1 :
It comprises of DB1(200A), DB2(200A), DB4(400A) and two
capacitors(25KVAR and 20KVAR).The ones in brackets are the incoming supply of the
DBs. DB1 supplies power to uncaser, empty case conveyor, bottle washer ,concentrate
room, post inspection conveyor and air compressor. The ratings of each of them is shown
in the layout. These rating nothing but the supply required for each. DB2 supplies power
to pressure less combiner, pre inspection conveyor (uncaser to bottle washer), paramix,
caser+ case washer. The power needed for each varies depending on the requirement.
The use of all the equipments are beyond the scope for electrical engineers. The work of
electrical engineer is to know how power is distributed and what is used to distribute the
power. DB4 supplies power to soft water panel , boilers ,WTP ,raw water reservoir
SECTION 2 :
It comprises of DB6(200A), DB8(300A) ,DB9(500A) and a
capacitor(25KVAR). DB6 provides power for lighting sugar room , Air Handling Unit
and other units present beside it. It consists of 4 pole MCBs the working of which will be
explained in detail. DB8 distributes power to liquid CO2 storage tank, raw water tank ,
full godown lighting and street lights. Basically incoming power is supplied to a main
switch and then its fed into bus bar which comprises of R,Y,B,N(Red, Yellow, Blue,
Black).The bus bar distributes power to the various components listed under each DBs.
Depending on the number of components the engineer can use as many bus bars. DB9
supplies power to ETP, ETP lighting, fire hydrant, borewell, bio-solids, HCl. The layout
also contains power distribution from ETP. ETP distribution comprises of air blower,
effluent pumps, lime, DAP, urea, effluent transmission pumps and sledge pumps. Thus
the work of an electrical engineer will be more efficient if the layout is known to him
properly before learning their controls.

C.1. MCCB
C.1.1 INTRODUCTION:
MCCB refers to MOULDED CASE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. The ever
increasing consumption of electrical loads in domestic, commercial as well as industrial
applications has necessitated the usage of higher rating protection devices. The Moulded
Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) render flexibility up to 100A and 125A load
requirements used in switch boards, lighting and power panel control boards.
C.1.2 PRINCIPLE:
MCCBs make use of the “blow apart” contact principle. Derived from the
basic laws of physics, this principle is based on the electromagnetic repulsion of
adjacent conductors transporting current in opposite direction. In these circuit breakers
contacts with carry current are arranged so as to create opposing magnetic fields. The
contact arms, one stationary and one movable are positioned close to one another. As the
fault current rises, magnetic repulsion forces the contacts to part. This forced separation
immediately establishes an arc. The arc acts as a major source of current impedance,
restricting fault energy to lower levels for fast extinguishing in the arc chamber.
The short circuit pivot design allows the moveable contacts to separate
completely from the stationary one without restrictions, even before the mechanism
unlatches to trip the MCCB. The higher the fault current, the faster the contacts part.
By generating dynamic impedance of the arc, the (I2t and Ip let through energy is greatly
limited, therefore protecting the down stream distribution system as well as extending the
life of the MCCB.
7
C.1.3 CONSTRUCTION:
Load line distribution boards are made of special grade CRCA sheet steel
manufactured with the latest technology using CNC punch and brake presses to attain
high degree of perfection. They are painted with polyester and polyester resin based
powder paints to ensure scratch resistance. The current carrying parts are made of
electrolytic grade copper and are over rated to carry high currents, keeping temperature
rise and distribution losses very low. The MCCB is a thermo magnetic trip free unit
with a positive contact indication designed for compactness and versatility.
C.1.4 FEATURES:
C.1.4.3.COMMON TRIP:
MCCBs eliminate single phasing. When an overload or short circuit occurs in
any phase, a common trip mechanism disconnects all the three phases of a multi-pole
circuit breaker.
C.1.4.4.SPACE SAVING:
MCCBs are space saving which is a major factor to equipment users. By
offering high interruption ratings in small compact frames, the savings to users can be
substantial.
8
C.1.4.5.MOULDED CASE:
Circuit breaker housing is made of high compact, high dielectric strength
polymer material.
C.1.4.6.POSITIVE OPERATION:
The ON and OFF status is indicated by the position of the operating handle.
An intermediate position indicates that the breaker is in the tripped position.
C.1.4.9.THERMAL TRIP:
This provides protection against the sustained overloads. A bi-metallic
element in each conductor path reacts time-wise in inverse proportion to the current. If a
circuit is overloaded, heat resulting from excessive current flow causes the bi-metal to
bend, actuating the rip mechanism to open the breaker.
C.1.4.11.ARC CHUTES:
Arc chutes are designed to confine, divide and extinguish an arc each time the
breaker contacts interrupt a short circuit. The arc chute therefore must dissipate the arcs
that are caused when the circuit breaker interrupts the current flow. It contains a stack of
U-shaped steel plates held together by insulating material. The steel plates divide the arc
and cools the gases generated by the arc.
9
C.1.5.FIELD FITTABLE ACCESSORIES:
Application flexibility of MCCBs is enhanced by a convenient accessory line
comprising under voltage release, shunt trip, auxiliary switch, alarm contact, front drive.
C.1.5.1.AUXILLARY SWITCH:
A combination of 2(1 NO + 1NC contacts) are available for annunciation,
remote indication of the ON/OFF position of MCCB and for the use in the control
circuit.
C.1.5.2.SHUNT TRIP:
A range of shunt releases suitable for AC/DC supply are available for remote
tripping of the circuit. For operating the shunt trip, one contact of the auxiliary switch
has to be used.
C.1.6.ADVANTAGES:
High current rating( up to 125A)
Close overload and short circuit protection
High breaking capacity(up to 25KA)
(In most high rise buildings, the transformer is either located in the
basement or within the premises. The prospective short circuit current is
generally higher than 10KA. A protective device with lower breaking
capacity cannot protect against such faults thereby exposing the entire
system. However, by the use of MCCBs the system can be easily
protected)
Accessories available for annunciation and remote tripping.

C.2. MCB
C.2.1.INTRODUCTION:
MCB refers to MINIATURE CIRCUIT BREAKERS. In the residential,
commercial sectors, final electrical distribution needs are continuously evolving.
Improved operational safety, continuity of service, greater convenience and operating
cost have assumed tremendous significance.
C.2.2 PRINCIPLE:
MCB is a high fault capacity, thermal/magnetic, current limiting, trip free
switching device with fast magnetic tripping. Two kinds of operations are involved:
• Thermal operation with inverse time-
current characteristic for overload protection
• ‘Hammer trip’ assisted magnetic operation for short circuit
protection.
Thermal operation is achieved with a bimetallic strip, which deflects when
heated by any over currents flowing through it. In doing so, releases the latch mechanism
and causes the contacts to open. Inverse time current characteristics result, i.e. greater
the overload current, shorter the time required to operate the MCB.
When short circuit fault occurs, the rising current energizes the solenoid,
operating the plunger to strike the trip lever causing immediate release of the latch
mechanism. Rapidity of the magnetic solenoid operation causes instantaneous opening of
the contacts
.
C.2.3.CONSTRUCTION:
The outgoing MCBs can be mounted on the DIN channels provided n the
horizontal Distribution Boards. In case of vertical DBs the MCBs are terminated by
screwing on the bus bar. Copper bus bars per phase according to the number of
outgoings and load requirement are provided along with Earth bars, Brass Neutral bars
and special brass terminals to ensure perfect connections and safety.
11
C.2.4. FEATURES:
C.2.4.2.HAMMER TRIP:
It is considered that just the use of current limiting design may not suffice the
requirement of quick breaking, mainly due to inertia of the latch mechanism and inter
connected sequence of operations. A hammer directly connected to plunger strikes the
moving contact with a force proportional to current peak, and current peak, and
thereby forcibly separates the contacts much before the latch mechanism operates. The
opening time of the MCB is reduces less than 1ms.This helps in reducing the let through
energy heating during short circuit, and ensures positive opening of he contacts.
Possibility of contact weld is completely eliminated.
C.2.4.4.DUAL TERMINATION:
Box terminals are provided for both incoming and outgoing. The
accommodation of bus bar as well as cable termination facility. Also the terminals are
12
fully shrouded thus eliminating any possibilities of operator coming in contact
inadvertently with any of the live parts.
C.2.4.6.HOUSING:
The body is made of flame retardant high strength thermo set material which
has a high melting point, low water absorption at saturation, high dielectric strength, high
deflection temperature under load and low co-efficient of linear thermal expansion.
C.2.4.9.VIBRATION:
MCBs can withstand vibration limits upto 3 ‘g’ continuous duty .For practical
applications like usage in locomotives and electric trains MCBs are very suitable
13
C.2.5.ADVANTAGES:
• High short circuit making and breaking capacity.
• Current limiting plus ‘hammer trip’ for low let through
energy and maximum safety
• Protection to downstream switch gear applications.
• No faults due to ageing.
• Compact dimension and modular construction.
• Offers fuse less distribution system.
• Protection to electrical equipments.
• Very good selectivity related to upstream circuit breakers
and back up protection fuses.
• Wide range of DB s and consumer units for ease of
installation.

C.3. MPCB
C.3.1.INTRODUCTION:
MPCB refers to MOTOR PROTECTION CIRCUIT BREAKERS. In
machine tools, textile machineries, automobile, food and many other process industries
compact devices are required for disconnection and protection of plant and individual
loads. Although such loads are of smaller ratings, the protection devices still have to
have adequate short circuit breaking capacity. Further the devices should be compact, for
simple, efficient and suitable for maintenance free installation. The MPCBs have proved
themselves in such applications.
C.3.2.OPERATIONS:
C.3.2.2.TRANSFORMER PROTECTION:
For protection of transformers on primary side having rated currents up to
20A MPCBs having ranges 0.16 to 20A are offered. The short circuit ratings are changed
in this case and are of instantaneous type. Thus they allow switching on in rush current
peaks up to 3 times the rated current.
C.3.3.PRINCIPLE:
MPCBs operate on the Current limiting principle. In case of a short circuit,
the contacts are opened electro dynamically by the short circuit current. The
instantaneous over current release, through the switching mechanism, trips all the three
poles of the breaker. The three poles can be connected in parallel to the fuses. In the
event of one fuse blowing, the breaker gets actuated through its release and offers
tripping signal through its auxiliary contacts, to the motor control device for switching off
15
the motor. Thus the motors are not subjected to single phasing and costly motor burn
outs are prevented. As like other circuit breakers a large arc voltage is built up.
C.3.4.FEATURES:
• The breaker has a trip free mechanism and
tripping cannot be prevented by the toggle switch position.
• Space saving compact modular design.
• Integrated auxiliary contacts save space and time.
Additional auxiliary contacts are available as an add on block.
• Phase failure protection.
• Ambient temperature compensation up to 55degrees
• Material resistant to temperature extremes.
• Strict safety and quality standards ensure reliable
operation in all possible applications.
• Can be used as a main and EMERGENCY STOP
switch.
• Positive ON/OFF indication through toggle switch.
• High rated insulation voltage.
• Identical accessories reduce stock levels.
• Box terminals ensure connections even with
different conductor cross section.
16
closing spring is prevented. After clearing the fault which caused the short circuit, the
limiter must be reset by hand before the breaker is switched on again. This prevents
inadvertently switching onto a still present short circuit.
C.3.5.ADVANTAGEOUS ACCESSORIES:
• Shunt release for remote tripping.
• Under voltage release to prevent restarting of the motor when the
supply returns
• Under voltage release with 2 leading auxiliary contacts, which in
the open position avoid accidental energization to the control circuit
• Remote switching module can be switched ON and OFF remotely.
• Short circuit signaling contacts which signals a short circuit trip.

C.4. BIMETAL OVERLOAD RELAYS
C.4.1.INTRODUCTION:
The bimetal relays are indigenously manufactured and bring to the users a
whole range of benefits, which are as a result of extensive research and development
efforts in design, materials and manufacturing technology. They enclose a built in single
phasing protection. In conjunction with contactors and other motor control equipment,
they provide accurate and reliable protection to motors against overload and single
phasing. They also offer protection against unbalanced voltages.
C.4.2.OPERATIONS:
The bimetal relays are ideal for heavy starting applications, when heavy
masses are to be put in motion with the resultant long starting period. In conjunction with
the contactors and other motor control equipment, they provide accurate reliable
protection to motors, with an acceleration time up to 30 sec and starting current up to 6
times the rated current, against overload and single phasing.
C.4.3.PRINCIPLE:
The relays offer single phasing protection by differential slider principle.
The relays work on the same principle like MPCBs but they can’t act upon short circuit
unless they are suffixed with motor protection equipments. They can efficiently act upon
overload and protect (single phasing protection).A bimetal relay has a bimetallic strip
which are in contact under normal load conditions. In case of abnormalities i.e. overload
the coil gets heated up which heats up the bimetallic strips and they produce an opposing
18
magnetic field and are forced to separate by this. Thus the relays protect against overload
by tripping but an arc will be developed which can be avoided by differentiating into
partial arcs and quenching them effectively using the arc chutes. In case of short circuit
relays can trip the circuit only if they are suffixed with SC protection devices. This is the
basic difference between MPCB and overload relays.
C.4.4.CONSTRUCION:
They comprise of 3 saturable current transformers, a resistance unit and a
special bimetal relay connected to the secondary wing of the C.T. It is a composite unit
with bimetal relay mounted on the C.T.s. The saturable transformers linearly transform
the current up to approximately twice the set current, but above this value the transformer
gets saturated and the secondary current is proportionally less. Thus the relays permit
heavy starting conditions of motors and offer dependable protection against overload.
C.4.5.2.TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION:
The relays are temperature compensated between their service temperatures of
-25degree and 55 degree.
C.4.5.4.OTHER FEATURES:
Shrouded auxiliary terminals increase safety as they protect
against accidental contact with the live parts.
19
Ready to wire terminals and captive screws reduce wiring time.
The screws being captive do not fall out. Hence the relays are delivered
with untightened terminals i.e. ready to wire condition. This eliminates
the operation of untightening terminals before wiring.
Funnel shaped cable entrances reduce wiring time by facilitating
quick location of the connecting wire.
A simple accessory for converting contactor mounting relay to
individual mounting.
Cable End Stops reduce wiring and testing time as they decide the
insertion depth of the connecting wire. As the wire cannot now protrude
into the relay housing, it does not hamper the movement of the
auxiliary contacts.
Further since the insertion depth is predetermined insulation of the
cable can be cut accordingly and the possibility of insulation getting
caught under the terminal is avoided.
In addition it comprises of recessed dial for easy setting, a change
over from manual reset to automatic reset mode, a test button, an adaptor
to convert contactor mounting relay to individual mounting, a protective
covering to avoid tampering of the setting, a trip indicator to indicate
tripped state of the manual reset relay, a reset cord to reset relay and
connecting links.
Potential free 1NO+1NC contact arrangement is provided as a
standard feature. The 1 NO contact can be used for various applications
such as annunciation.

C.5 HRC FUSES
C.5.1.INTRODUCTION:
HRC fuses have been developed for industrial applications specifically. They
offer protection against lighting and heating circuits. They are available in various
ranges for specific purposes and the three types are termed as bolted type, continental
type and round head type.
C.5.2.PRINCIPLE:
HRC Fuses work on a similar principle like a circuit breaker. It lets passage in
circuit along its path and its just a link in a circuit. In case of abnormality i.e overload
passing through the circuit the fuse blows and the circuit breaks. Due to special design
they give high rupturing capacity combined with low temperature rise under normal
load conditions. The quick acting characteristics of the fuses ensure that under the worst
fault conditions, cut off occurs before the maximum value of fault current is reached,
thus reducing electro magnetic and fire risk. Thus as in case of any circuit breaker
contacts bounce in case of abnormalities.
C.5.3.CONSTRUCTION:
The fuse links consist of one or more elements contained in a ceramic barrel
of exceptional strength and filled by a carefully -graded, chemically purified silica. The
end of cartridges are closed by non-ferrous electro-tinned and caps which are forced on to
the precision ground barrel under pressure, thus entirely eliminating the use of cement
with its attendant disadvantages. The fuse elements are made of copper/silver composite
type and manufactured with great care for safety.
21
C.5.4.FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES:
As mentioned earlier HRC fuses are available in
different ranges for specific purposes namely
2-800A in Bolted type(BS)
6-630A in Continental type(DIN)
4-63A in Round Head type(RH)
They have an excellent AC and DC performance.
Watt loss will be very less in HRC fuses i.e.
power loss won’t be much because the fuse blows immediately once its an
abnormal condition and breaks the circuit.
A fuse puller is available for safe removal of
fuses.
They have a breaking capacity of 80KA with
fusing factor greater than 1.5, thus meeting the wiring regulations for close
over current protection in connection with PVC insulated cables.
22
C.6 FUSE SWITCHES
C.6.1. INTRODUCTION:
Fuse switches are designed for diverse applications and can be easily mounted
in switch boards for power distribution thus making them user friendly. They are
suitable for heavy duty applications of switching under no load and also under stringent
conditions of switching highly inductive loads.
C.6.2. PRINCIPLE:
C.6.3.CONSTRUCTION:
C.6.4.1.OPERATING MECHANISM :
Front handle operation makes possible concise and smaller panels. Sturdy
operating handle incorporates features such as fool proof cover locking, inter lock defeat
facility, and padlock facility for safety locking in OFF conditions. Telescopic adjustable
handle shaft is provided for maximum flexibility in order to suit varied positions and to
make them compatible to the bus bars.
C.6.4.2.CONTACT MECHANISM :
The contact system comprises of spring loaded, butt type contacts. They are
multi fingers in higher ratings. Due to multiple fingers, each section carries only a
fraction of the total current. Only two per phase are subjected to make-break. Hence the
contact life of the rest of the fingers is quite high and the switch maintains low energy
losses through out its life.
24
C.6.5.TECHNICAL DATA OF FUSES:
STANDARD CURRENT RATING: 32A
TYPES : FSB,FSC
INSULATION VOLTAGE : 660V
SC CAPACITY : 80KA
C.7 CONTACTORS
C.7.1. INTRODUCTION:
Contactors are of two types basically:
Power contactors
Auxiliary contactors
Power contactors are suitable for switching and controlling squirrel cage and
slip ring motors as well as other AC loads, such as solenoids, capacitors, lighting loads
and transformers. Auxiliary contactors are suitable only for lighter load applications.
Though their applications differ their principle of operation is the same.
C.7.2. PRINCIPLE:
The basic operation of a contactor is to hold the contacts in a control circuit. In
case of abnormality as in any other case the contacts should bounce. It has a coil
wounded inside its frame. In case of normal condition or the coil gets energized as a
result the contacts are now in NC i.e normally closed condition. On the other hand in case
of abnormality i.e overload or short circuit the coil gets de energized and the contacts
25
lose their hold and they are now in NO i.e normally open state. Its not a case of NC and
NO important thing is contacts bounce under abnormality.
C.7.3.CONSTRUCTION:
Contactors have a superior design of the current carrying parts, contact system
and the magnet system. This provides high starting currents in case of power
contactors. It has a finger touch proof design. This design can even be extended to its
auxiliary contacts. The arc chambers are enclosed inside them and this ensures no direct
arc emission. The contacts are double break parallel bridge contacts which is a unique
feature of power contactors in specific.
26
• Power contactors of larger ratings if used without arc chambers,
can cause serious accidents to the maintenance personnel and the
surrounding equipment. A mechanical interlock preventing closure of
contactor if the arc chamber is not fixed in place completely eliminates
such possibility.
• Switching of contactors without arc chambers is sometimes
resorted to because of their breakages. The use of superior material avoids
breakages and consequently switching the contactors without arc
chambers is prevented.
1. TEMPERATURE CONTROLLERS
1.1 INTRODUCTION:
Any production process involves various temperature requirements at specific
points. Its not possible to produce a very high temperature from an existent room
temperature all of a sudden and then there may be a requirement of extremely low
temperature immediately. But the temperature requirement of a process is of vital
importance which cannot be surpassed or given in short. A temperature controller helps
in such situations. Both analog and digital types are available in accordance with the
flexibility of the operator.
28
1.2 PRINCIPLE :
Temperature controllers get their input from temperature sensors either RTD
or thermocouple. According to the temp, RTD resistance value changes which is fed in to
the temperature controllers and in turn temperature controllers convert resistance into
temperature. Each set point in a temperature controller is associated with a relay. In case
of process temperature more than the set point value the corresponding relay glows and
the contacts change from NO to NC which activates a load in particular solenoid valve
whose contacts are changed on glow of the relay. There are Standard tables available for
resistance vs temperature.
In case of thermocouple as input, millivoltage is the input for the temperature
controller and it converts into temperature. Like the previous case if the process value is
less than a set point its corresponding relay glows changing the contacts and activating a
solenoid valve or any load

1.3 CONSTRUCTION :
A temperature controller accepts signals from a variety of temperature sensors
like RTDs and thermocouples to maintain the required process temperature. It is
constructed with a black plastic alloy case and collar style panel latch. This kind of
assembly is termed as Bezel assembly. The advantage of this assembly is that the circuit
boards can be removed from the case to change the output board without removing the
case from the panel or disconnecting wiring.
1.4 DESCRIPTION :
The temperature controllers used in the plant are of PID type which
abbreviates for Proportional Integral Derivative. Its output signals mainly range 4 to 20
mA or 0 to 10 V DC signals. It precisely displays the process temperature, and
provides the appropriate output control signal to maintain the process accurately at the
desired temperature. The controller operates in PID control mode for both heating and
cooling, with on demand auto tune, which will establish the tuning constants. A value is
being set at the beginning and the process temperature increases or decreases
proportionally to the set value, sets more than the set value initially and then integrates
30
itself to reach the set value ultimately. The PID tuning constants may be fine tuned by the
operator at any time and then locked out from further modification. The controller
employs a unique over shoot suppression feature, which allows the quickest response
without excessive overshoot. The controller may also be programmed to operate in the
ON/OFF control mode with adjustable hysterisis.
1.5 FEATURES :
• Temperature controllers are very compact in their size
approximately 1/16 Din.
• Dual LED displays provide Simultaneous Indication of process
temperature and set point (the lower display selectable for set1, set2, set3
which are nothing but set value displays, % output, ramp set point (o C /
o
F) everything displayed in the same controller.
• Proportional Integral Derivative controls with Reduced overshoot.
• On demand Auto tuning of PID control settings.
• Relay (a kind of sensor which provides a reflex action on
activation to be described later ) can be programmed as heat/cool alarm.
• Heat/cool PID algorithm provides a step by step process.
• Single point ramp soak algorithm.
• Auto/manual mode can be switched according to situation.
• Soft start (Set point ramping for process start up)
• Universal input; accepts sensor inputs (thermocouple or RTD)
• Digital filtering times 0 to 99 second and it has a high indication
accuracy of + or - 0.25%
• In case of any errors in sensors temperature controllers compensate
it with an offset. So it detects sensor break.
• Status indicators are available for output indication.
• Parameter security through programmable lock outs is provided in
controllers.
31
• Dual 4 digit displays allow viewing of the process temperature and
set point simultaneously.
• Optional alarms can be configured to activate according to a
variety of actions( Absolute high or low, Deviation high or low, band IN
or OUT, and Heater Current break) with adjustable hysterisis.
• A stand by feature suppresses the alarm during power up until the
temperature stabilizes outside the alarm region.
• Optional Linear DC output can be used for control or
retransmission purposes.
• Optional Heater Current Monitor provides a direct read out of
process heater current. An alarm can be programmed to signal when the
heater has failed. This provides early warning of system failure before
product quality is affected.
• Optional Remote Set point input allows for multiple ganged
controller operation for large oven and extruder applications; allows for
cascade control loops, where tighter control is required; and allows for
remotely driven set point signal from computers or other similar
equipment.
• An optional serial communication interface provides two way
communication between a PID and other compatible equipment such as a
Printer, PLC, or a computer. In multipoint applications the address
number of the PID has to be programmed suitably. Data from PID can be
interrogated or changed, and alarm outputs may be reset by sending the
proper command code via serial communications. PC software is available
for configuration of controller parameters. These settings can be saved to
disk for later use or used for multi controller downloading.

2. PROXIMITY SWITCHES
2.1 INTRODUCTION:
Proximity switches are solid state switching devices which require no physical
contact to actuate them. They are used for controlling and positioning signals. They can
be directly connected into conventional or electronic control systems. There are two types
of proximity switches :
1. Inductive type (Specifically for metal parts)
2. Conductive type (Used for any conductive materials)
34
2.2 PRINCIPLE:
The electronic proximity switch comprises of three principle parts:
1. The oscillator
2. A trigger stage
3. Amplifier stage.
The oscillator generates, with its coil, a high frequency electromagnetic field
of approximately spherical distribution. Any metallic object introduced into this field
absorbs energy from the oscillator by induced eddy currents. This reduces the
amplitude of the oscillations and this change triggers the output stage. This type of
oscillator will respond to any type of metal.
2.3 DESCRIPTION :
2.3.1 SENSING FACE :
The sensing face of a proximity switch is the surface from which the
electromagnetic field radiates.
36
• The voltage drop is the voltage measured between the
energized output and the switched potential at the rated current of the
switch.
• The ripple voltage is the AC voltage superimposed on the
mean DC voltage expressed as a percentage. Maximum ripple is
absolutely essential for effective operation of DC switches. When using a
single phase rectified supply the appropriate smoothing capacitor should
be used.
2.CURRENTS :
• The load current is the maximum current at which the proximity
switch can be continuously operated.
• The Inrush current is the maximum current which can flow, from the
moment the switch is on, for a specified time
• The No-load current is the current consumed by the switch at the
maximum operating voltage without there being any external load current.
• The residual current is the current which flows through the load even
when the switch is in its blocked state
• Holding current is the least current necessary to ensure correct
functioning of an actuated wire switch.
3 LIMIT SWITCHES
3.1 INTRODUCTION:
Limit switches are used in automatic control circuits where mechanical
positions have to be converted into electrical signals for controlling remote starters,
contactors etc. They are ideally suited for control of machine tools, elevators, cranes,
conveyors, gates, doors and various other applications. These limit switches are actuated
by straight edges, cams, stops or plates etc. and give control commands for further
progress of the switching program or of the manufacturing/processing sequence. For the
various control applications there are two ranges available :
Open type limit switches
37
Metal enclosed limit switches
3.2 PRINCIPLE :
A limit switch consists of a fixed and a movable contact. In a normal
condition the fixed contact will be in NC and the movable contact in NO. The purpose of
a limit switch is that if any cylinder comes in contact with the roller of the limit switch
the contacts will change i.e fixed contact will now become NO and movable NC
A spring which is placed inside the switch will be compressed when a
cylinder pushes its roller. So when it is plunged down NC contact will be separated as it
pulls down and the movable contact which is initially open will now be closed. By this
way if any cylinder moves out of the way limit switches will bounce its contacts for the
cylinder to step back to the normal line. In case of jamming of crates limit switches
bounce its contacts, and the signal from the contacts is fed to the PLC. Then PLC creates
a small delay time and the crates gain back their normal gaps. Each contact is associated
with two screws which takes care of the spring movement. Many types of limit switches
are available. The number of contacts may vary for different types but the principle
remains the same for all the types.
3.3 CONSTRUCTION:
Open type limit switches are intended for use of auxiliary switches in
cabinets, large enclosures or locations not affected by dust or moisture. The open type
switches are available with 2 or 3 sets of contacts. They have been offered various degree
of protection against foreign bodies.
Limit switches have stipulation of mounting dimensions, operating points,
housing form and actuator form. The metal enclosed limit switch consists of the housing,
contact block and the actuator. The contact block is placed within the housing. It
comprises of moving double contact pieces, spring plate (carries the moving double
contacts without rigid mechanical connection) and terminals.
3.4 DESCRIPTION:
38
1. PLUNGER ACTUATION:
A stainless steel hardened plunger with telescopic action is precisely guided
within anodized die- cast light alloy head, and is practically maintenance free. This plain
bearing principle ensures reliability. The direction of actuator head can be changed in
steps of 900.
2. DIAPHRAGM SEAL:
In switches with plunger actuation, the plunger area separated from the switch
chamber by a diaphragm seal made from elastomer. The seal is practically indestructible.
The seal is firmly fixed to the plunger and is returned to the free position after each
operation, not by the switching element but by the plunger return spring. Any
development of pressure due to plunger actuation is eliminated by a relief valve. The
switching element is actuated by a metal cap pressed on to the seal. Switching point
displacements are therefore completely eliminated.
3. LEVER-ARM ACTUATION:
Three different levers can be used on the lever arm actuated switches. The
stainless steel shaft is precisely guided through housing. The numerous adjusting
possibilities are:
Adjustment of the actuator head around the longitudinal axis is
possible in 900 steps.
Adjustment of the lever arm in positively fixed positions is
possible in 900 steps.
Infinite adjustment of the lever arm within 3600.
Adjustment of the switching direction.
3.5 FEATURES:
A wide range of actuators are suitable for different operations enabling
the user to select the most optimum one for particular application.
Specially designed compact housings allow optimum installation and
convenient cable entry.
The design, materials used and manufacturing processes ensure
reliable functioning of control and auxiliary systems.
39
All contact blocks have a black moulded plastic housing, in which the
fixed contacts and terminals are accommodated.
Interior of the metal enclosed switches comprises of a plastic slide
with moving contacts, which perform double contact interruption. The
contact set and switching chamber are protected by means of a guard.
The standard metal housings along with the corresponding actuators
conform to the Din accommodation.
The metal housings are corrosion resistant and unaffected by shocks,
impact and hot liquids.
The housings are in complete degree of protection (complete safety
from finger-touch/protection against hazardous effects of water, when
immersed in it).
The wide housing has longitudinal holes to the left and the right of the
actuator. This allows adjustment of operating point during installation, in
case this adjustment cannot be performed via the actuating element, this
housing has 3 threaded holes for contacts cable entry, which makes it
more versatile with regard to connection possibilities, as available space is
also greater.
The actuators and contact blocks can be interchanged depending on the
application.
The switching direction of limit switches with roller crank or
adjustable length roller crank can be changed by re-positioning the internal
plunger.
40
The selection of actuators differs with respect to permissible actuation
direction, actuation speed, form of actuation element and the advantageous
combination of components. All switches function independently of their
installation position. The same mode of selection applies for contact blocks
also. Under no circumstances may the limit switch be used as a mechanical
stop on a moving section of a machine.
4 TIMERS
4.1 INTRODUCTION:
Timers are devices designed for creating time delays in many ways. The delay
produced by the timer activates a relay at its end period.

42
4.2.4 REPEAT CYCLE EQUAL (OFF FIRST):
Upon application of input voltage, the output relay remains de-energized and
time begins. At the end of the time period, output relay energizes for set time. At the end
of time again de-energizes and this cycle continues until input voltage is removed.
RESET:
Re-closing the control contact during timing resets the time delay. Removing
input voltage reset s the time delay and output.
43
Upon the opening of control contact break time delay begins. At the end of break time
delay, the output de-energizes.
RESET:
1. If control contact is opened during, Break time delay, then it is reset and
the output remains de-energized.
2. If control contact is closed during break time delay then time delay is reset
and the output remains energized. Removing input voltage resets the time
delay and output.
RESET:
Opening the control contact during timing resets the time delay. Removing
input voltage resets the Time delay and output.
44
RESET:
Reset occurs when the time delay is complete and the control contacts is open.
Removing input voltage resets the time delay and output.

5 UV DISINFECTION UNIT
5.1.INTRODUCTION:
Light is electromagnetic radiation or radiant energy in the form of waves.
Ultraviolet energy is found in the electromagnetic spectrum between visible light and x-
rays. Two different UV wavelengths are employed in water treatment the 254 nm and
185 nm. 254nm UV light is employed in Disinfection and Ozone destruction
applications. It penetrates the outer cell-wall of the microorganism, passes through the
cell-body, reaches the DNA and alters the genetic material. The microorganisms are
therefore destroyed.
5.2.PRINCIPLE:
UV light obeys the laws of electromagnetic radiation, including the de
Broglie’s principle and Einstein’s laws. When a molecule absorbs the incident UV
radiation, it gains energy. The extent of energy absorption depends upon the wavelength
of the radiation – the lower the wavelength, the greater the gain in energy. When
organisms absorb UV light in the range 200-300nm, the UV light is absorbed by DNA
and RNA molecules. The DNA molecule contains all the genetic information needed for
46
replication. UV absorption causes disruption of the nucleic material of the double helix
strands. This prevents replication, which is lethal to the cell. Dimers opposing the normal
formation are formed. Thus if the UV dosage is not optimized, complete inhibition of
replication will not occur. On the other hand, an insufficient UV dosage may cause
limited damage to the DNA, which the cell can, under favorable conditions, repair using
repair enzymes. So it is extremely critical to impart optimum UV dosage in order to
prevent repair. While bacteria have built-in repair enzymes, viruses do not. Therefore,
they have to rely on the enzymes of the host cell.
5.3 CONSTRUCTION:
UV components are designed based upon flow rate capacity. Each model is
designed for a maximum flow rate, based upon application, water quality, water
temperature and other factors. A UV unit comprises of:
Sample ports
Treatment chamber
Quartz sleeves and Lamps
Drain port
Control cabinet.
47
6. Two optional sample and drain ports are available for obtaining
water samples pre and post the UV treatment chamber. Sanitary sampling
valves should be installed on the ports. Each treatment chamber is
provided with a drain port to complete drainage of the treatment chamber.
A drain valve should also be installed.
5.4 DESCRIPTION :
A typical UV unit comprises a cylindrical chamber featuring UV lamps
encased inside quartz sleeves arranged within the chamber, with the water flowing over
the sleeves. The quartz sleeves run through helical baffles designed to promote turbulent
flow, which enhances the contact and increases residence time, thereby resulting in
increased dosage and absorption of UV radiation. The baffles help to break the bacterial
colonies entering the UV unit and also help to insure turbulent flow pattern.

5.5 FEATURES :
Each of the UV units is furnished with a non-resettable running
time meter. It is used to determine the number of hours on the equipment
and for maintenance. It is very important to record the running time hours
and lamp maintenance.
To verify the status of the UV lamps, the LED display gives the
operator a visual indication of the lamp status. When the UV light is ON,
the LED will illuminate.
There are two basic components: the sensor and the controller. The
UV sensor is a combination temperature and UV probe. Semiconductor
signals are processed within the sensor and sent via a cable to the
controller. The sensor is provided with O-ring which is necessary to create
the proper seal.
UV lamps produce heat. The heat within the chamber must be
dissipated to prevent damage to the UV unit and water system. Under
normal operating conditions, the water flow is sufficient to remove heat
generated by the lamp. In process conditions in which there may be no
flow conditions, temperature controller is available. When the temperature
exceeds the UV lamps automatically switch off, preventing overheating
conditions.
The sensor provides information about the relative amount of UV
passing through the water and the absolute intensity of UV. It reflects
changes in UV transmission when a substantial change occurs in normal
operating flow rate, temperature or quality of fluid flowing through the
system. When the UV intensity falls below the minimum standard, remote
interferencing will be activated for which corrective action has to be taken.
UV controller has the capability to display continuously the level
of irradiance detected by the sensor. It reports the current temperature
value of water.

6 FLOWMETERS
6.1 INTRODUCTION :
Electromagnetic flow-meters with signal converter are designed solely for
measuring the volumetric flow rate of electrically conductive, liquid process products i.e
they are useful for flow measurement of liquid products. It is mainly designed for
electrically conductive fluids.
6.2 PRINCIPLE :
50
6.3 CONSTRUCTION :
A flow meter mainly comprises of flow head, flow converter and display.
Water flows through the flow head and magnetic field is generated. According to
Faraday’s principle signal converter converts the impulse into readable meter signals
which is displayed in the display placed in front of the panel.
6.4 DESCRIPTION :
The magnetic field of the primary head is generated by a square wave current
fed from signal converter to the field coils. This field current alternates between positive
and negative values. Alternate positive and negative flow rate-proportional signal
voltages are generated at the same frequency by the effect of magnetic field, which is
proportional to the current. The positive and negative voltages at the primary head
electrodes are subtracted from one another in the signal converter. Subtraction always
takes place when the field current has reached its stationary value, so that constant
interference voltages or external or fault voltages changing slowly in relation to the
measuring cycle are suppressed.
6.5 ADVANTAGES :
• This method of measurement offers the following advantages :
• No pressure loss through pipe constriction or protruding parts.
• Since the magnetic field passes through the entire flow area, the signal
represents a mean value over the pipe cross section; therefore, only
relatively short straight inlet pipes are required upstream of the primary
head.
• Only the pipe liner and the electrodes are in contact with the fluid.
• The original signal produced is an electrical voltage which is an exact
linear function of the mean flow velocity.
• Measurement is independent of the flow profile and other properties of
the fluid.

PROGRAMMING OPERATOR
DEVICE INTERFACE
7.3 FEATURES :
Prior to PLCs, many of the control tasks were solved with contactor or relay
controls. This is often referred to as hard- wired control. Circuit diagram’s has to be
designed, electrical components specified and installed, and wiring lists created.
Electricians would then wire the components necessary to perform a specific task. If an
error was made the wires had to be reconnected correctly. A change in function or system
required extensive component changes and rewiring
Very complex task can be done with a PLC. Wiring between devices and relay
contacts is done in the PLC program. Hard wiring though still required to connect field
devices, is less intensive. Modifying the application and correcting errors are easier to
handle. It is easier to create and change a program in PLC than it is to wire and rewire a
circuit.

SPECIAL PROJECT
59
AUTO AIR CONTROL SYSTEM (ON/OFF) FOR
DATE CODING MACHINE
1 AIM:
The purpose of designing this system is to avoid flow of air from the system
when there is no production or when no bottles are being sensed by the proximity sensor
before date coding is done. In short air should flow only when a bottle is sensed by the
system. Its principal application is to remove moisture from the body of a bottle by
blowing air where date coding will be done.
3 COMPONENTS USED:
60
• 24V DC Power Supply
• Proximity Switch (operating voltage 0 to 30 V DC)
• 24V DC Relay
• Off Delay Timer (coil voltage 220V AC)
• 24V DC Solenoid Valve ( Coil 24V DC)
5 OPERATION:
As mentioned earlier the aim of the system is to blow air only when bottles
are sensed and to remain idle otherwise. When a bottle comes out after filling and
61
capping its outside is moisturized because beverage is being filled at a very low
temperature which moisturizes the bottle.
Immediately after filling and capping date and time of manufacture has to be
printed on the bottles. As the bottles are moisturized immediate flash of prink ink on it
causes poor printing which appears blurred. To clean outside of the bottles incase some
beverage has flown out some water is being sprinkled near the neck where date has to be
printed. Placing this air control system after sprinkling will wipe out the moisture and
date can be printed clearly.
When a bottle comes after sprinkling of water on its outer part the proximity
switch senses the arrival of bottle. The proximity is activated by the 24V DC power
supply. Proximity output energizes relay coil whose negative supply is obtained directly
from the 24V DC. Relay coil being energized now relay gets activated. Output from relay
is used to energize the coil of timer whose negative gets supply directly from 220V AC.
The timer coil being energized it activates the off delay timer.
The timer now energizes a solenoid coil. The solenoid coil on energizing
activates a solenoid valve. Timing is being set on the timer. Solenoid valve opens and air
blows out of it until the timing interval is set. Once the timing interval is over timer is
reset and air flow stops if there are no bottles in the line and proximity doesn’t sense any
bottle.
The principle of solenoid valve is that when coil is energized it activates the
valve. It consists of an inlet and an outlet opening for passage of air through it. When
solenoid is energized plunger moves up and provides provision for air passage through
the valve or else if the coil is de-energized the plunger closes the valve and air flow stops.

H.CONCLUSION
On the whole this project report gave away a lion’s share to instruments
mostly specific to electrical and instrumentation engineers. A detailed study on all the
instruments taken into account has been reported. On this basis what one comes to know
is that instruments though are of more or less a similar principle each finds its application
for specific purposes where the aliters can’t gain their entry.
The electrical layout presented at the beginning gives a detailed idea of how
power is distributed to the plant and what is the requirement for each of the equipments
under lying. As seen from the layout it starts from the state electricity supply and then
how the plant distributes the total supplied power. A good knowledge of this distribution
will help an electrical engineer to control any abnormalities.
