C&I PROBLEM CASE STUDY

By ROBINSON.H.J

MFT PROCESSOR PROBLEM

Two MFT processors in FSSS panel Both will be in service One processor in unit-2 failed The processor was removed The same processor was put back The processor was ok The unit was also not affected

Another occasion one of the MFT processor failed. Processor was removed and put back. Processor was not ok. EPROM of the processor was removed. The same was inserted in a new processor. The new processor was inserted into the rack. Immediately the unit tripped.

EHG HUNTING PROBLEM

Unit 1 was running with 210 Mw. Suddenly the load fluctuates from 0 to 210 Mw. EHC position was hunting between 50% to 100%. Boiler load was reduced by cutting out mills. EHG was switched off by the operator. EHG gone to 100%. Load was maintained according to the boiler pressure.

LOAD SUDDENLY GONE TO ZERO

Unit 2 was running with full load. Suddenly load reduced to zero. Unit tripped on reverse power protection. EHG circuits checked and found ok. Program in honeywell system checked. Error found in load set point program. The faulty program was removed and the problem was solved.
