132/33 KV Main Step-Down Sub-Station-5 inaugurated at RSP
Rourkela: As a part of the power augmentation package of the ongoing modernization and expansion programme of Rourkela Steel Plant (RSP), the newly constructed 132/33 KV Main Step-Down Sub-Station-5 (MSDS-V) was inaugurated by S N Roy, ED (Works) on Tuesday here. MSDS-V comprises a 132 KV Gas Insulated Sub-station (GIS), four 63 MVA 132/33 KV Transformer, two 33 KV Indoor Switchboard and several other state-of-the-art facilities. The 132 KV GIS is not only the first of its kind in RSP but also in the State of Odisha. Set up by M/s Siemens Limited this sub-station is fed from CPP-II as well as from MSDS-II (Grid Power) through new 132 KV double circuit transmission lines. With MSDS-V coming to stream an alternative path for evacuation of power from CPP-II is now available at 132 KV level. The 132 KV GIS is a trouble free system requiring very little maintenance as compared to the conventional 132 KV Air Insulated Sub-station. Also, there is no safety hazard involved in
