 Introduction
 >Hindustan Copper Limited was set up on the 9th november 1967.It is a public
sector undertaking under the is 89.95%. administrative control of ministry of
mines. It’s shareholding with government of India

>The company produced many byproducts such as anode slime(containing gold ,

silver etc.) copper sulphate and sulphuric acid. It’s production capacity is 31000
M.T. of electrolyte/ annum. It’s head office in Calcutta.

> The highest Turnover of this company is Rs. 1839.79 crore in 2008-09. This
company around 5 decades of experience in mining copper.
 GAS TURBINE

 Gas Turbines are one of the most efficient equipment for converting
fuel energy to mechanical energy.

 Gas turbine functions in the same way as the Internal Combustion

engine. It sucks in air from the atmosphere, compresses it. The fuel is
injected and ignited. The gases expand doing work and finally
exhausts outside. The only difference is instead of the reciprocating
motion, gas turbine uses a rotary motion throughout.
 Gas turbine basically involve three main sections:

 The compressor, which draws air into the engine, pressurizes it,
and feeds it to the combustion chamber at speeds of hundreds of
miles per hour.

 The combustion system, typically made up of a ring of fuel

injectors that inject a steady stream of fuel into combustion
chambers where it mixes with the air. The mixture is burned at
temperatures of more than 2000 degrees F. The combustion
produces a high temperature, high pressure gas stream that
enters and expands through the turbine section.

 The turbine is an intricate array of alternate stationary and

rotating aerofoil-section blades. As hot combustion gas
expands through the turbine, it spins the rotating blades. The
rotating blades perform a dual function: they drive the
compressor to draw more pressurized air into the
combustion section, and they spin a generator to produce
electricity.
 Plant contains 2 GT ,each of 10 MW
capacity.

 Each alternator produce 11 kv output

voltage which is further converted into
33 kv for transmission with the help of
stepup transformers.

 In GT Napthal and Diesel both are

used as fuel, out of which napthel is
better fuel but it is costly .
 POWER HOUSE

 In power house of company power is supplied

from two lines of state electricity board as well as
from GT plant.

 For the case of emergency diesel generators are

available ,which can bear 60-65% of total load.

 Power house contains switchyard as well as

distribution panel of power for whole plant.
 SWITCH YARD
• Switchyard is most important part of powerhouse . With
help of switchyard input power is monitored and the
system is protected from faults.
 CONCENTRATOR PLANT
Copper is concentrated in concentrator plant.
Concentrator plant used two type mill:-
1.Rod mill
2. Ball mill
Equipment which plays an important role in concentrator plant:
1.Bunkers
2.ConveyorBelt
3.Cyclone
4.Londer
5.Flotation cell
(i) Sequenger cell
(ii) Ruffer cell

Ball Mill and Rod Mill
 Following are some of important parts of switch yard :-

1. Lightning arrester:-
A lightning arrester is used in
switchyardto protect the insulation and
conductors of the system from the
damaging effects of lightning. The
typical lightning arrester has a high-
voltage terminal and a ground terminal.
When a lightning surge travels along
the power line to the arrester, the
current from the surge is diverted
through the arrestor to the earth.
2. CT and PT:-
A potential transformer(PT) is used to reduce the voltage to
lower values and to provide isolation between high voltage
power network and the relays and the other instruments that
are connected to their secondaries. CT is used for current
measurement and PT is used for voltage measurement.
 3. Minimum Oil Circuit Breakers (MOCB)

These types of circuit breakers utilize oil as

the interrupting media. However,
unlike bulk oil circuit breaker, a minimum
oil circuit breaker places the interrupting
unit in insulating chamber at live
potential. The insulating oil is available
only in interrupting chamber. The features
of designing MOCB are to reduce
requirement of oil, and hence these
breaker are called minimum oil circuit
breaker.
 4.GANG OPERATED (GO) SWITCH:-

They are called Gang Operated as they are operated in a

Gang, all three switches together, using a single
mechanism. They are also called air-break switches as
they use air as the breaking medium .

These switches do not have any load-breaking capacity.

They can only be operated when the transformer is on
no-load and only the small magnetizing current flows
through them. Yard must be disconnected from the
load it is feed and only then can these switches located
on the incoming lines of the substation be disconnected.
 5.BULK OIL CIRCUIT BREAKER(BOCB):-

In BOCB all moving contacts and fixed contacts are

immerged in oil inside closed iron vessel or iron tank.
Whenever the current carrying contacts are being
open within the oil the arc is produced in between the
separated contacts. The large energy will be dissipated
from the arc in oil which vaporizes the oil as well as
decomposes it.

In this oils used as arc quenching media as well as

insulating media between current carrying contacts
and earthed parts of the breaker. The oil used here is
same as transformer insulating oil.
6. BUS BAR:-

An electrical bus bar is defined as a conductor or a

group of conductor used for collecting electric
power from the incoming feeders and distributes
them to the outgoing feeders. In other words, it is a
type of electrical junction in which all the
incoming and outgoing electrical current meets.
Thus, the electrical bus bar collects the electric
power at one location.

In switchyard bus bar is used to collect power

from both lines.
