How to Test the Following Electronics Components-02

07/18/2012 12:11 PM

As per electronic tests expressly stated,We have some electronics components apart from cards which may seemingly be reasonable cause for our system excitation faults ALTHROUGH they may probably save a bunch of more lives cards as expressed but they have to undergo very detailed test as per ISO.Could someone Specialist/electrical engineers/electronics engineer/instrumental engineers/experiences tells how to undergo practical test otherwise we are in very hopelessly bad situation( We are running 2machine with 34MW each as shown in below picture of our plant)

1.DIOD MODULES(SKB 72/12 p1200)

Above picture terminal 112 & 103(bottom terminals) are both connected to Transformer 230/20V 1800VA while top 2terminals are connected to metal capacitor rating (2.2μF,1000Vdc,700AC) and these capacitor metals are connected to Pulse transformer cards XYU 169 E shown below .The collectively sum for all of them constitute circuit named FIELD FLASHING CIRCUIT which supply dc systems to the field winding to have complete 3Φ supply voltage wave form during excitation system which finaly being disconnected by field breaker after Generator gain sufficient voltage for VOLTAGE BUILD UP(This process is termed as DE-Excitation system)

Before connected to circuit and below after connected to circuit

2.TRIGGER PULSE TRANSFER(SHPC42)

3.INDICATING UNIT (No:5 indication ,Sometimes known as OPTO-COUPLER)

4.FIRING UNITS (BOD 1200V) No. 6 & 7 indications from below picture

Below is General overview of panel

NB:If u need more detailed from my plant Plse see from discussion sent by tittled ''How to Test the Following Electronics Cards-01''

Nice pictures. Good Quality. I think I understand what you are describing but I'm not sure what you need. While you make a reference to detailed ISO tests, I don't think many people will know which tests are required. Perhaps you would be so kind as to share that detail so we can offer suggestions.

I am wondering also if you have an electrical engineer helping with this problem. Perhaps it is someone fresh out of school who is not familiar with the circuit as yet?

You have gone to a lot of effort so don't give up. Try to answer as many of the questions so that we may know how to help.

The question that remains is...what is your question? It sounds like your excitation system isn't doing what you expect. Is this a new or existing installation? Did it ever work properly, were any changes made or maintenance performed before the problem occurred, and (of course) was the manufacturer contacted? Once you let us know the exact nature of the problem we will be in a better position to possibly assist you.

Please pay special attention to screening, cable dressing, earthing/grounding. Over a period of time, we find after maintenance, all the screening plates/covers not put back in place. We may even find many screws missing. Making jigs to test various cards are doable but requires time/skill and will be expensive.

Conducting a thorough electronic component testings as part of a "live preventive maintenance" tests on an ongoing operational or running system is very dangerous.

IMHO the best approach you can implement is to conduct a series of thermographic scans on all the different sections /components of the system during 'normal operation' and use that as a baseline info for future reference. Scheduled follow up scans can then be implemented to predict for any abnormal deviations that may pre-empt impending component failure.

You asked essentially the same question (or at least very similar) about 1-1/2 months ago, with some of the same photos. Did the answers at that time not give you the information you needed to troubleshoot this problem? For diagnostics of specific electronic circuit cards, your best resource is the manufacturer's technical support personnel. Call them.
