Online filter machine at Hot Strip Mill inaugurated
Rourkela: An
online filter machine for the 33 KV transformers at the R2 stand of Hot Strip
Mill (HSM) was inaugurated by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Rourkela
Steel Plant (RSP) G S Prasad today.
D Basu, ED (P&A), R K Nehru, ED (MM) and V
Sankaranarayanan, GM Incharge (Services), Acting ED (Works) and many senior
officers and employees of the concerned departments were present during
the inauguration.
VS-06, which is an online filter machine
employing latest technology, is expected to enhance the life of the transformers
by reducing moisture content even from solid insulations inside transformers.
The online filter machine can be installed and operated without the transformer
taking a shutdown.
Besides, it has facilities to measure
moisture level inside the transformer. The mechanism works in such a manner
that the oil being used as the coolant does not lose its chemical properties
during filtration. The online filter machine, installed for the first time in
SAIL, will also arrest surprise failure of transformers.
The machine has been procured by Power Distribution
Department under Addition Modification and Replacement (AMR) scheme at a cost
of Rs. 89 lakh. The machine was installed under the supervision of Power
Distribution, HSM, and other associated departments.
