Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to compact secondary substation (CSS). More particularly the present disclosure relates an arrangement for accommodating flue gases in a CSS.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Compact secondary substation (CSS) is an electrical apparatus which converts medium voltage power of an electrical power distribution system into low voltage for public supply. A CSS comprises an enclosure (typically metal) divided into plurality of compartments corresponding to plurality of equipment. Such a design helps in isolation of faults occurring in equipment from other equipment in other corresponding compartments. The plurality of equipment includes but not limited to Medium voltage (MV) switchgear, distribution transformer, Low Voltage (LV) switchboards, connectors, and auxiliary equipment etc.
[0004] The equipment comprised within MV switchgear is generally insulated with air or an insulating gas (typically SF6). Similarly, equipment in other compartments may be insulated with air or the insulating gas. At the time of an electric failure in any compartment, an internal arc may be generated. The internal arc may lead to heating of air (or the insulating gas) resulting in generation of flue gases. The generation of flue gases may further lead to overpressure in the compartment which may cause components of equipment to be forcefully ejected into air. The release of flue gases and forceful ejection of component pose a physical threat to operator and public in proximity of the CSS thus it is essential for CSS to be able to handle an event of internal arc fault
[0005] One way of handling the event of internal arc is to release the flue gases into atmosphere through a upward facing duct, where the flue gases can expand and cool down. However, when internal arc fault occurs in transformer compartment volume available for flue gases to expand until it reaches the exhaust at roof is very less, the delay in relieving the pressure may hamper structural integrity of CSS. The prolonged exposure of shockwaves to load bearing element is one of the main reasons of damage to equipment. Therefore, there is need of improved CSS that is capable of safely handling such event in case the fault occurs in transformer compartment.
[0006] There is, therefore, a need for an improved CSS that is capable of safely handling such event in case the fault occurs in transformer compartment. The propose disclosure provide an arrangement through which bottom stand area is utilized to make and enclosure for the safe diffusion of the IAF gases. The bottom stand area is not utilized earlier. The bottom stand is interconnected through flap/s. During the event of Internal arc fault the flue gases reached the bottom enclosure and if the pressure and more volume is required it reaches the other bottom compartment through the flaps.
