Case 1 – Tx. and Instrument Tx.

On 22 November 2014
RY1-KT1A was trip by oil flow relay.
Outage 30.6 MW 1 minute

DC Resistance Measurement after Failure

• DC resistance measurement show

the problem of main contact at
terminal number 8 and 9

25
 Root Cause Analysis

All flexible leads of moving main- Root cause : Deterioration of

switch contact of OLTC breaked flexible lead from using,
while changing from tap N to 1L then unreset counter 157,218 times
severe arcing at moving main
contact made the oil expansion to
trip the oil flow relay

27
 Solving

Short-term Solving :
1. Change flexible lead by 50 MVA spare transformer in the system
2. All Tx which using MR type H and V sent the example oil for DGA
3. All Tx which using MR type H and V will be inspect by supervisor

Long-term Solving : Prepare spare for OLTC MR type H which

have the counter over 100,000 times.

 Mitigation Methods

Install more overhead ground wire

Lower structure grounding resistance close to substation – within
