Now a day the suspended particulate matter from the industrial exhaust is the major pollutant of our atmosphere. The smoke will be having solid as well as fluid
suspended particles. In most of the industrial processes these suspended particles are the residues of those processes and it has to be removed before they are being exhausted into the atmosphere. In some industrial processes, this suspended particle may be useful product or reusable products to be collected to make the process more profitable. An earlier stage ESP had been used for this purpose only. Later on it has been found as a way of most efficient dust collecting equipment for many of the industrial applications.
PRINCIPLE: -
Electrostatic precipitator is basically electrical equipment in which the dust has been removed from the flue gas by means of electrical discharge and the removed dust is collected by means of mechanical rapping system. precipitator will be of the following four phases The operation of electrostatic
Ionization of flue gas by high voltage discharge Charging of dust particles Migration and collecting of dust particles Removal of collected dust
WORKING: -
In order to obtain gas ionization it is necessary to exceed, at least locally, the electrical breakdown strength of the gas. It is called corona. Sparking is essentially an
advanced stage of corona in which complete break down of the gas occurs. Precipitators are usually operated at the highest voltage practicable without sparking, since this increases both the particle charge and the electrical precipitating field.
O & M MANUAL FOR ESP
Corona discharge is accompanied by a relatively small flow of electric current. Sparking usually involves a considerably larger flow of current, which cannot be tolerated except for occasional periods of a fraction of a second duration, and then only when suitable electrical controls are provided to limit the current.
However, when suitable controls are provided, precipitators have been operated continuously with a small amount of sparking to ensure that the voltage is in the correct range to ensure corona. Besides disruptive effects on the electrical
equipments and electrodes, sparking will result in low collection efficiency because of reduction in applied voltage, re-dispersion of collected dust, and current channeling.
In the electrostatic precipitator, the dust laden flue gas is passed through the passages between the collecting and emitting electrodes. The emitting electrode is either spring or spikes welded to ERW tubes at regular pitch and collecting electrodes is of curtain like plates hung from top. A transformer rectifier set will feed a very high DC voltage to the emitting electrodes whereas the collecting plates are earthed. This high voltage emitting system ionizes the flue gas stream and form positive, negative ion cloud inside the electrostatic precipitator. This is called as the corona discharge or corona formation.
Once this cloud of charge is produced it will start charging the dust particle to its saturation level. The charged dust particles will be pulled towards the earthed
collecting electrode plates and get deposited over it. The movement of dust particles towards collecting electrodes will be opposed by viscous drag, collision of dust particles etc., and the resultant velocity with which the particle move towards the electrode is known as migration velocity or drift velocity.
As soon as the dust particles get precipitated over the collecting panels, they get discharged as the panels are earthed. The collected dust will be removed by the rapping mechanism at suitable preset timings.
ADVANTAGES OF ESP: -
Electrostatic precipitators have gained its popularity over other dust collecting equipments because of the following advantages Low pressure drop Higher collection efficiency Less sensitive for temperature variations Suitable for any type of dust Lower maintenance and runtime cost
Electrostatic precipitators are usually designed for a set of inlet flue gas conditions. Variations in one or many of these parameters may lead to poor collection efficiency in electrostatic precipitator. Parameters influencing the performance of electrostatic precipitator are
Resistivity of dust particles Flue gas temperature at ESP inlet Flue gas volume flow rate through ESP Flue gas composition Flue gas velocity with in ESP Inlet dust concentration Dust particle size distribution Gas distribution inside ESP Rapping frequency
Resistivity is an electrical characteristics based on which the charging capacity of a dust particle at the given charging condition can be determined. Resistivity depends on the composition and morphology of the dust particles.
The problem due to high resistive dust particles is the back corona formation. Usually while operation there will be a voltage drop across the dust layer collected over the collecting plates. If the resistivity of dust layer is very high this voltage drop will
increase and it may be sufficient to produce sparking between collecting and emitting electrodes. In order to avoid this back corona effect the operating voltage and current of the precipitator to be reduce thereby reducing the performance of ESP. The low resistivity dust creates the problem of re-entrainment. If the resistivity of dust is very low then the particles will discharge rapidly as soon as collected over the collecting panels. Hence they are nowhere electrostatically pinned with collecting
electrodes and can be easily swept along with flue gas. Sometimes the particles will acquire positive charge from the collecting panel and get repelled. The problem of low resistivity mainly occurs with precipitators operating at low temperatures and handling ash from high sulphur coal.
The variation of resistivity of flue gas with temperature doesnt have a greater impact on the performance of ESP if the variation is minor. On the other hand the viscosity of flue gas increases with increasing temperature that imparts more drag on dust particles. The performance of electrostatic precipitator is highly influenced by increase in flue gas temperature. The raise in temperature will decrease the electrical property of flue gas i.e., the resistivity of flue gas will decrease with increasing temperature. This high resistivity of dust will lead to back corona effected thereby bringing down the operating voltage to reduce sparking. This plays a vital role in reducing the ESP performance at elevated temperatures. The above two phenomenon will significantly reduce the effective migration of dust particles thereby affecting the overall performance of the precipitator. This is the reason why an ESP designed for a
specific flue gas temperature may not perform satisfactorily at higher temperatures.
The strength of the mechanical components especially insulators will be reduced when the ESP is operated at a higher temperature than the designed value or if there is frequent variation of flue gas temperature over a wide range.
O & M MANUAL FOR ESP
The lower operating temperature will aid the performance of ESP as the resistivity of dust particles reduce with decreasing temperature. The lower operating temperature will create problem if it falls below the acid dew point temperature leading to corrosion of structural and mechanical components of ESP.
Based on the flue gas composition the amount of collection area required for conditioning the gas to the required dust level will vary. The amount of collection area required per cubic meter of flue gas is called as the specific collecting area (SCA). The total collection area (TCA) of the precipitator will be arrived by multiplying the SCA with the design flue gas flow rate. Increase in gas volume will therefore
decrease the SCA required for the flue gas and thus reducing the performance of electrostatic precipitator.
The composition of flue gas plays a vital role in design as well as in the performance of ESP. The effect of some of the major composition of flue gas, which highly affects the performance of ESP, has been briefed below
The percentage of water vapour present in flue gas has a greater influence on the performance of ESP. The more percentage of water vapour will aid the performance of ESP by reducing the resistive nature of flue gas. If the ESP has been designed for a specific percentage of moisture in flue gas, then the performance of the ESP will deteriorate with decreasing moisture percentage. A maximum increase of 5% of
moisture in flue gas can improve the performance of ESP to certain limit.
The free sulphur tri oxide formed during the combustion of fuels condenses with moisture on the surface of the particles and thus reduces the resistivity of dust particles.
In some cases larger portion of sulphur in fuel may form as calcium sulphate, which is highly resistive.
The formation of sulphur tri oxide may raise the sulphur dew point temperature thereby wetting the dust by the sulphuric acid formed. This makes the dust to get clogged into ESP and reducing the performance of ESP.
The presence of oxides of salts like calcium and magnesium oxides will result in formation of dust layer over emitting electrodes and theyre by suppressing the corona formation. This reduces the performance of ESP.
The alkali metals like sodium and potassium present in the fuel forms alkali sulphates, which increases the moisture absorbing capacity of dust particles. collection rate will increase if the alkali metals are present in larger amount. Hence the
The flue gas should flow as a streamlined flow inside the ESP with an optimal velocity. Higher operating velocity will decrease the effective migration velocity as well as the carryover of collected dust particles along with flue gas. Lower operating velocity will lead to stagnation of flue gas at lower zones of ESP.
The SCA provided is suitable for a particular amount of inlet dust load to achieve the required outlet emission. Hence if there is any drastic increase in the amount of inlet dust concentration the collection area provided will not be adequate to achieve the required outlet emission. The outlet emission will increase with respect to increasing inlet dust load for a given ESP.
DUST PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION: -
Larger sized dust particles will have more area to collect charges and get charged quickly; hence they migrate faster towards the collecting plates thereby increasing the collection efficiency. Migration velocity is proportional to diameter
GAS DISTRIBUTION INSIDE ESP: -
The flue gas entering into the precipitator should be evenly distributed over the entire cross sectional area to achieve maximum performance. It avoid the over loading of certain zones and non usage of certain electrode zones. Practically it is not possible to attain perfect distribution of flue gas over the entire area especially at the lower and upper extremities of electrodes. The variation of flue gas in these areas has to be minimized and maintained within a permissible limit to achieve better performance.
RAPPING FREQUENCY: -
The collected dust particles are to be removed in certain intervals by means of rapping mechanisms. The rapping frequency should be set with respect to the type and
amount of dust collected in the precipitator. Higher rapping frequency will lead to reentrainment of dust particles into the flue gas stream. Lower rapping frequency will lead to accumulation of thick layer of dust over the collecting plates thereby increasing the sparking between electrodes. The lower rapping frequency will also lead to heavy puffing of dust by re-entrainment while rapping. Hence a dust layer of sufficient
thickness should be allowed to form so that while rapping the layer breaks into agglomerate masses, sufficiently large to fall into hopper before being carried out by the gas stream. The rapping frequency can be individually controlled for each field based on the dust laden to the field.
The collecting electrode panels are usually 445 mm wide and 1.25 mm thick mild steel sheet made by cold rolling process. The profile of collecting electrodes is
aerodynamically designed for higher stiffness and to minimize re-entrainment of dust particles along with the fast moving flue gas. The collecting electrodes are also
designed to reduce sparks to sharp edges. The collecting electrode panels are bolted at both top and bottom to top and bottom tadpoles. The top tadpole is in turn rested on floating channel suspended from casing top girders. This type of construction enables the complete distribution of rapping force over entire area of panel. The bottom tadpoles are aligned using locking arrangements to maintain the electrical clearance with the emitting system during operation.
EMITTING ELECTRODES
The emitting electrode is a spike type of electrode consists of ERW tube on which copper coated spikes are welded at regular pitch in staggered manner to achieve uniform discharge throughout the entire length and width of collecting electrode. Usually one number of spike rod will be hung at the center per collecting electrode. The rigid construction of spike rod will reduce misalignment of electrodes during erection as well as during operation. Further these electrodes are easy to handle, install and to maintain.
The ESP casing is supported over high efficient sliding bearings, which are taking care of casing thermal expansions. Three types of bearings are normally used called fixed, mono-axial and bi-axial bearings. The bearings have been designed for various loads such as vertical dead loads, vertical and horizontal loads due to wind and seismic. The bearing top plate to be bolted with casing column base plate and the bearing bottom plate to be welded or placed in races provided in supporting structure bearing plate.
T/ R SET WITH CONTROLLER
As the dust laden flue gas passes through the collecting electrodes and discharge electrode, the ESP can be considered as a capacitance having variable dielectric strength. The dielectric strength varies due to changing parameters of the flue gases.
The high voltage DC applied to the ESP has been continuously adjusted to minimize sparking across the discharge and collecting plates. The voltage controller in the transformer rectifier control cabinet senses the current feedback from the ESP and done the following functions.
It maintains the voltage across the ESP at the spark threshold level in all the conditions to achieve maximum efficiency.
During no sparking conditions, maximum power is made available across the ESP.
In case of spark, it brings down the voltage by preset value. The voltage is raised to spark threshold level if no further sparking is considered.
In case of arc it brings down the voltage to zero and blocks it for preset time. The voltage is restored to the preset value by fast ramp and then to the spark threshold level by slow ramp.
The entire emitting system is rested over high voltage porcelain cylindrical insulator that isolates the entire system from the casing, which is earthed. insulators have been designed for heavy compression loads. The support
located over ESP hot roof inside pressurized penthouse. Each insulator is provided with a coil type of heater to maintain the temperature of insulator slightly higher than ash condensation temperature. One number automatic on/off type of thermostat is provided to control the insulator heaters at required temperature level.
MECHANICAL SAFETY INTERLOCK SYSTEM
This system provides the personnel safety of person attending ESP. This system ensures that no person can enter into ESP unless all the Transformer Rectifier sets are de-energized and grounding switches of TR sets are in ground position.
HOPPER HEATERS
Continuous removal of collected ash from ESP ash hopper is essential for better as well as safe working of ESP. In order to maintain the free flow of ash through hopper discharge flange the bottom portion of ash hoppers are heated using coil type of heaters. This prevents ash build up in the hoppers. The heaters are thermostatically controlled to maintain the temperature up to a maximum of 230C.
HIGH LEVEL SWITCHES IN HOPPER
R.F. capacitance type level switches are provided in each hopper. The level switch operates when ash level inside the hopper rises and touches the level switch probe. The level switch gives signal to the audio visual alarm annunciator provided in the Auxiliary control panel to indicate high ash level in the hopper and trips the TR set. Even after tripping the TR set, the dust will continue to build up in hopper. Auxiliary contact of high hopper level relay will be provided in the Auxiliary control panel. If the high level alarm is persisting, it is recommended to stop the boiler after one-hour time delay. This prevents ash building up in the hoppers, which ultimately shorts the
emitting electrodes.
O & M MANUAL FOR ESP
Casing plays the important role in the construction of precipitator. It is made out of rigid welded construction consists of prefabricated columns, casing side and roof panels. The casing construction itself requires much higher time during erection. The casing has been designed for various loads as per IS standards and proper selection of column and stiffener members has been done to provide a rigid construction. The casing panels are fabricated either at shop floor or at site to closer tolerances. The casing is being erected with higher care, which minimizes electrode alignment problems. Pyramidal type of ash hoppers is provided for each field with sufficient storage hours and valley angles as per CVL standard design or to conform the customer requirement. The inlet and outlet funnels are designed for proper distribution of flue gas over the entire area of collecting surface.
COLLECTING ELECTRODE SUSPENSION
As explained earlier the collecting electrodes are bolted to top and bottom suspension frames (tadpoles), which are suspended, from floating channel. Each collecting
electrode panel is locked with adjacent collecting electrode panel by means of bolt at regular pitch through out the entire height to form a curtain like arrangement. The collecting electrode top and bottom frames are locked with suitable locking arrangements to maintain the electrical clearance with respect to emitting system. This firm fixing at top and bottom also provides sufficient rigidity and also uniform distribution of rapping force.
COLLECTING ELECTRODE RAPPING
The collecting electrode panels are provided with Electro Magnetic Impulse Gravity Impact (EMIGI) type of rapping system. The system consists of rapper induction coil. The sequence of operation is programmed in micro tapper panel, which generates an electrical pulse to the rapper distribution panel. The micro-taper panel is
microprocessor based programmable controller in which we can alter the rapping frequency and lift of plunger rod. On receiving pulse from micro-taper panel the diode
O & M MANUAL FOR ESP
set in rapper distribution panel for the corresponding panel will power up the rapper by supplying a 220 V DC supply to the rapper coil. Once the rapper coil gets energized it lifts the plunger rod and drop it as soon as it is de-energized. This rapping mechanism provides efficient cleaning of collecting electrode panels. Usually one number rapper coil will be provided for two rows of collecting electrode panel. The rapping creates a vibration such that the dust cake dislodge from the collecting electrodes panels without getting broken. This avoids the re-entrainment of collected dust into the flue gas stream. The rapping frequency should be kept optimally which provides sufficient cleaning as well as reduce re-entrainment of collected dust.
DISCHARGE ELECTRODE SUSPENSION
The spike rods are bolted at top with the high voltage top suspension frame, which is suspended, from high voltage cylindrical support insulator and to the bottom suspension framework. The discharge electrode system is support with two or four support insulators per field based on size and weight of emitting assembly. The
discharge electrode system is exactly positioned between the rows of collecting electrode panels. The discharge electrode system is completely isolated from the collecting system and casing components for electrical clearance.
DISCHARGE ELECTRODE RAPPING
The discharge electrode panels are also provided with Electro Magnetic Impulse Gravity Impact (EMIGI) type of rapping system. The operation and control of these rappers will be similar to that of collecting electrode rapping. The rapper for emitting electrode will be located over the emitting electrode suspension rod. The suspension rod will be electrically isolated from the rapper coil by means of shaft insulator. The shaft insulator has been designed to provide suitable electrical isolation and also sufficient strength to transfer the rapping force of plunger to the emitting system.

- 11 5.4 BUILT-IN TYPE EARTHING SWITCH The Earthing switch provided is oil immersed and is housed in the T R Unit tank. The switch is single Pole two way type. One position of switch is connected to earth and other position is connected to H T output terminal inside tank. The pole is connected to HT output bushing, which is ultimately connected to the field. The whole switch assembly is mounted on a plate, which is housed inside the transformer tank. The moving blade i.e. pole and fixed H T contact is mounted on suitable H T epoxy insulators. The earth position of switch is brought out through LT aux bushing for earth connection. For changeover, a handle is provided on the top of the T R Unit tank and is projected out on the T R Unit lid. This is manually operated handle. The field can be either connected to HT DC output or earthed by operation of this switch. A limit switch is provided such a way that when the switch pole is connected to earth position, NC contact of the limit switch which is wired in series with the starting circuit of main contactor will open and the T R Unit will be tripped. As long as switch is in the earth position the T R Unit cannot be switched ON. A mechanical stopper is provided for the switch handle at both positions on the T R Unit lid. This is to ensure that the switch blade does not over travel beyond its contact positions inside the tank. A provision is also made on T R Unit lid to mount the castle key interlock (Castle key interlock is not in HIRECT scope). The castle key interlock can be provided such a way that the switch can not be earthed when the T R Unit is in ON condition or if the switch is in earth position it can not be put back to H T position unless all ESP doors are closed and all safety interlock are complete. Thus with operation of this, Earthing Switch field can be earthed or can be connected to HT output internally with proper safety interlock. NOTE WHEN EARTH SWITCH IS IN EARTH POSITION PLEASE DO NOT SWITCH ON THE T R UNIT GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS The SCR Controlled Power Supply Unit has sophisticated control and hence proper care has to be exercised in utilising the same. Before switching ON the unit please see that all the connections from main supply to the Electronic Controller and Transformer Rectifier Unit are properly made.

9.0 9.1 TRANSFORMER RECTIFIER UNIT GENERAL The transformer rectifier unit is oil filled (ONAN) cooled. It is designed for outdoor duty suitable for mounting on the top of the precipitator as required. However it can be installed indoors also in the room. The electronic controller is of freestanding type suitable for floor mounting and is designed for indoor duty. Both, Control cubicle and Transformer Rectifier is designed to operate in a maximum ambient temp of 50C. INSTALLATION The T R Unit is preferably placed on rails with blocking facilities, ensuring the minor movement in all directions. When several T R Units are placed close to each other, the minimum distance between the two units must be 500mm. If the units are placed under environmental conditions, causing a drop in the cooling efficiency, the coolers must be cleaned more frequently. Cable entry into the LV junction box, is from bottom. The power line is directly connected to the LV bushings. ELECTRICAL COMMISSIONING NOTE When tightening, use counter force to ensure that the bushing bolt is not moved. This is to minimize the risks for bad connections inside and oil leakage as well. Flashover in the precipitator is generating surge currents and voltages in the system. To avoid surge between different units in the system (May be kV), it is very important that the ground wiring is made up according to figures. The main ground terminal of the T R Unit in the positive DC connection of the rectifier as well. The ground terminal is has to be connected to the precipitator ground terminal via the tank ground terminal. A grounding link has to be made over every bus duct joint, between the rectifier and precipitator, before commissioning. When a safety switch is installed for disconnecting the primary side of the T R Unit during maintenance work, the aux. contact of this switch preferably has to interlock main contactor. 9.4 PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS/TESTS - RECTIFIER TRANSFORMER Check the di-electric strength of oil in the main tank. Samples should be taken through the drain/sampling valve provided at the bottom of the transformer tank. It should not break down below 50kV across 2.5mm gap.

MAINTENANCE
11.1 PREVENTIVE MENTENANCE Warning BEFORE STARTING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE EQUIPMENT, MAKE SURE THAT NO LIVE PARTS ARE ACCESSIBLE BY ANY PERSONEL.
GENERAL This Rectifier needs normally very little maintenance, but to ensure proper duty and to minimize the total maintenance coasts, it is advisable to carry out some activities. The period of time between each maintenance depends on the environmental conditions and duty. Accordingly, the time interval must be determined by operational experience. CLEANING To minimize the risks for excess temperature in the T R Unit, clean the cooling elements and the tank-sides at necessary time intervals. Minimum annually. OIL TESTS To avoid damaged HV components, check the insulation condition of the oil every fifth year. The oil sample must be taken at dry weather and in dry containers. The suitable volume sample is about 200-300 milliliters, taken out from the bottom test/drain valve. The sample may preferably be sent to a suitable laboratory to make analyses of mainly the flash over limits, the isolation characteristics, the loss factor and the water content. If the analysis shows that the oil does not meet the specification, or at least very closed to, it has to be exchanged/ filtered. Water together with particles can be removed in the paper filtering press. The filtering is preferably carried out during about 10 hours, with the Rectifier in short circuit operation. OIL LEAKAGE CHECKS Larger oil leaks are monitored by oil level indicator and indicates low oil level alarm. Visual check is preferably carried out regularly. If leaks occur in the bushing insulator during the first period of duty, the top nut has to be retighten to the correct torque stated below. Exchanging of the top O ring of the bushing insulators can be done without draining any oil/ However, a small amount of air will leak during the exchange. Proceed as follows. 1 Make sure that the power supply is switched OFF and locked before starting any work on the unit. 2 Disconnect the wiring to the bushing. 3 Prepare tools and O-ring for a quick exchange. Preferable apply perma-tex. on the O-ring tightening surfaces. 4 Disconnect the fixing nut and washer on top of bushing. 5 Remove the top porcelain ring the rubber O-ring. Make sure that the bolt is always towards you in order to minimize leak of liquid. ACE.DOC
- 22 Fit the new O-ring. Fit the porcelain top ring and the rubber O-ring, the washer and the nut. Before tightening, make sure that the bolt is centered to the hole in porcelain body. 8 After 48 hours, retighten with torque according No. 8 9 If the distance between the porcelain, on both sides of the O ring, after the final tightening is less than above 1mm, an additional plain rubber washer may preferably be placed on the top of O-ring. This will equalize the difference in size of the concave space for the Oring and give better tightening. 10 Reconnect the wiring. STORING INSTRUCTIONS Store the equipment preferably in a dry well ventilated space. If this type of area is not available, make provisions for avoiding humidity to make any harm on the equipment. This can be achieved by wrapping with water proof paper with sufficient desiccant inside. If to be store in the transport packing, open the packing and check for transport damages, entered water or oil leaks. By approved checks, place some desiccant inside and restore the package. The package must not be placed outdoors. TROUBLE SHOOTING WARNING TO AVOID PERSSONAL INJURY, DO NOT PERFORM ANY SEVICING UNLESS YOU ARE QUALIFIED TO DO SO. Methods for electrical trouble shooting, described in the following chapter, are base on use of an ohmmeter with maximum 6 Volts measuring voltage and a multi-meter with input resistance of minimum 20000 ohms/Volt DC and 1000 Ohm/V AC. Instruments with other data are possible to use if influences on measured values are calculated. At any error indication in the ESP installation, the error must be localized to either the rectifier or the precipitator with surrounding equipment. When an error is indicated to be in the rectifier, start to carry out the open circuit and short circuit test described below. If both tests are approved the rectifier is in all probability correct. If any of the tests are not approved, proceed on suitable trouble shooting according to error indication occurred. 11.4 OPEN CIRCUIT TESTS PROCEDURE 1 Switch OFF the Rectifier. 2 Isolate the precipitator from the HV output. If an isolator is not available, a part of the HV busbar has to be removed. Please note that ground connections are properly made of both sides of parts to be removed. After the busbar removal, remove ground connection on rectifier HV output 3 Set the precipitator current limit to about 20%. 4 Switch ON the Rectifier. 5 Set the precipitator voltage limit to maximum.

Starting sequence: ( Refer Fig. 1) Starting sequence begins when the main contactor is switched on (1). Thyristors are blocked for first 2 Sec (2) after that the voltage is raised to set value of parameters, 'VDC START' immediately (3). Then the DC current is raised from VDC start value with current rate of 200% per minute (100% corresponds to rated current) (4). If there is a Sparkover (5) during the starting sequence the control will react as described under automatic control & the rate of rise (6) is applied which corresponds to a calculated value based on IDC SET BACK, MAX SPARK RATE and actual Sparkover frequency. The rise is discontinued ACE.DOC
- 38 The rate of rise is calculated internally in controller so that it will just reach the set Sparkover frequency i.e. MAX SPARK RATE. Key for setting SPARK RATE is MAX SPARK RATE and for set back is IDC SET BACK. The set back is adjustable between 5mA to 20% of IDC NOM. The Sparkover frequency is adjustable from 1-60 sparks per minute. Automatic Control: (Refer Fig. 2) The DC current is increased by the calculated rate of the rise until a Sparkover takes place or a current limit is reached. If the Sparkover is interpreted as type-1 Sparkover (8), the current set point is reduced by a value corresponding to the set back (9), current is then increased again by the same calculated rate of rise as before the Sparkover (10). If the Sparkover is interpreted as type II (11) the primary current is blocked (12) for a preset time (T QUENCH) adjustable between 5 -100mS. Current set point is reduced by the set back value (9) and then increased again by the rate of rise before the Sparkover. Definition of Type I & Type II Sparkovers: (Refer Fig.3, 4 & 5) Sparks are detected by sensing the precipitator voltage. The sparks are classified as type I or II according to their intensities. At voltage drops (12) of more than parameter "V drop TY1" a time measurement of 500 ms (13) is started for Type-I spark detection. If the voltage exceeds the limit before the time measurements finish, no Sparkover signal (14) is given otherwise type I (15) is signaled. If the voltage drops below the under voltage limit a time measurement of 20mS (17) is activated for type II. If the voltage rises above under voltage limit (16) before the time measurement finishes type I (18) is signaled, otherwise type II (19). T RECOVERY: (Refer Fig. 6) After Sparkover (21) the current is raised to reduced value (i.e. value before spark-over less setback) within set time (22) which is determined by the parameters (T RECOVERY). Then the current is increased at the calculated rate of rise. Rise time parameter (T RECOVERY) can be selected from 40mS upto 1S. During this period precipitator voltage is regulated and increased to a value corresponding to the mean voltage before Sparkover. At this point (23) there is changeover to current regulation and voltage rise to the value corresponding to the reduced current value takes place according to the shown function with (T RECOVERY) as parameter. When (T RECOVERY) has expired, the normal calculated rate of rise is proceeded with. Fast Ramp Mode (FRM): (Refer Fig.7) In case of fast process changes, especially with high Sparkover frequency and low rate of rise, current will reduce to very low value, it may take long time to reach normal value. In this case there is a need to reestablish the precipitator voltage quickly. This is done by parameter fast ramp (T FAST RAMP) being adjustable from 2 300S. This time is measured from last Sparkover and if it exceeds the set time (24), the rate of rise will change to 200% per min until the next Sparkover occurs (25), at this point the rate of rise is changed back to normal (26) or until current limit is reached.
