Ans:
Routine Maintenance Activities in 33 kV/11 kV Substation:
1. The readings of the current, voltage, power, frequency, power factor, connected load,
energy consumption and other related parameters through various meters etc. shall be
checked and recorded in the log book / register. Necessary action is to be taken if the
readings are not normal.
2. Inspection and rectification of terminations e.g. checking the lugs / terminals points of
the electrical panels, switches, starters, indication lights, contactors, switchgear etc. and
repair / replacement as per requirements.
3. Inspection and monitoring of the UPS, battery charger, battery bank and associated
controls.
4. Cleaning of the interiors of the switchgears, panels by vacuum / air blower / wiping
them to make neat and dry condition during shutdown.
5. Routine maintenance of switchyard includes cleaning of all outdoor equipment like CT,
PT, isolators, post insulators etc. and checking of all conductor connections and
tightening the same if required. The switchyard to be maintained clean by removing
regularly the grass and other plants.
6. Monitoring and maintenance of transformers includes checking of oil level in
conservator & if required top up of makeup oil, regular inspection for any leakage,
checking of thermometer, recording of temperature, cleaning of breather assembly,
removal of moisture by heating of silica gel if so required, inspection & checking of
explosion vent etc.
7. Maintenance of lighting systems.
8. Upkeep of all the electrical equipment and keeping them in neat and clean condition. ½ Mark for
9. Checking the inter-locking of the various equipment and trip circuits. each of any
10. Maintenance of Earthing system as watering the earth pits for proper earth resistance, eight
checking the joints & continuity of earth conductors visually and also measuring the activities
earth resistance of each earth pits and to ensure that they are in the tolerance range. = 4 Marks
11. Maintenance of switchgears, VCBs / ACBs as required. Checking of all the circuit
breakers connected with the switchgear panels and their operating mechanism /
contacts etc. and make them in perfect condition.
12. Maintenance of all the electrical equipment including relays, transformers, capacitor
banks, motors etc. as per requirement of the OEM’s manuals.
13. Inspection of cable trenches and cable ducts etc. concerned with the power, control and
communication cabling of the systems.

15. Observing the yard and control room continuously and reporting any problem or faults
to the higher authority which require major / minor improvements / repairs.
16. Maintaining system handing over and taking over charge sheets.
17. With prior intimation / permission to higher authority, changing the taps of
transformers as and when required.
18. Maintain the proper co-ordination with all operators for efficient, reliable operation of
33kV / 11kV substation.
19. Follow permit system (Line Clearance) and maintain a permit book to facilitate system
maintenance without accident / mishaps.
20. Routine Surveillance of 33kV / 33kV switch yard, indoor / outdoor equipment like
