Maintenance and Underground maintenance in line with safety policies & Procedure. The Manual consist
of three major sections illustrating major functions of 11KV network i-e Operations, SSM & UGM.
The first section defines the work procedure of 11KV operations including rectification / isolation of faulty
equipment, arrangement of shutdowns for any addition / alteration in existing HT / LT network, preventive
/ corrective maintenance activities, addition of new schemes, system improvement proposals, proposal for
new 11 KV feeders, new HT linking cables, placement of new RMU, 11KV switches, Isolator, LT Panels and
protective devices.
Second section outlines the work procedure of Substation Maintenance including Installation or
replacement of transformer, 11KV switches, isolator, Replacement of trolley, CT PT, RMU, cleaning of
carbonization HT busbar etc. It also covers guidelines for construction of new substation and
Reconstruction of damaged substation including the responsibilities of all the concerned departments.
Third section covers Underground Maintenance section along with its major subsections involved in
underground cable maintenance, fault rectification and installation of new cable network. This Manual also
covers the concept of Composite gangs, Universal gangs and regional workshops along with clearly defined
roles and responsibilities of all the concerned.
Scope
This Manual covers routine operations, maintenance and system improvement on 11 KV Distribution
Network (UG / OH) all over KESC.
Applicability
All KESC and 3rd Party staff.
11KV Network Manual
Standard Operating Procedure
Objective
The basic objective of this policy is to stream line procedure to devise for implementation on 11KV
distribution network. Activities related to smooth and accident free function of HT / LT network
distribution. Rectification / isolation of faulty equipment, and to arrange back feeding to the effected
consumers, arrangement of shutdowns for any addition / alteration in existing HT / LT network, preventive
/ corrective maintenance activities, addition of new schemes, system improvement proposals, proposal for
new 11 KV feeders, new HT linking cables, placement of new RMU, 11KV switches, Isolator, LT Panels, 11 KV
knife switches, Installation of EFI, capacitor banks in all regions.
This SOP is intended for implementation across all 11 KV Network operations to establish accident free 11
KV switching operations for staff working on Live / Dead Networks.
Shift Engineer will act as key person for implementation of SOP for all switching activities on 11 KV network.
Scope
This Policy covers all 11 KV Distribution operation / Maintenance / System Improvement Proposals / New
Schemes activities in KESC HT / LT Distribution Network including:
Functions
1. The 11 KV Network of each Region is to be monitored round the clock throughout 365 days by
respective shift Engineers (11 KV operation).
2. Shift engineers are responsible to take the charge from relieving shift with complete details of:
HT Main cable faults
HT linking cable faults
LT cable faults
HT O/H conductor broken and other O/H faults
PMT & local Transformer fault
11 KV switches / Isolator and RMU faults
All leads jobs and the Transient / sub-transient faults
Current status & number of feeders Tripping in hand with complete marking of operations (ON /
OFF)
Position at the HT network Distribution Drawing & it must be updated timely to check the status of
network faults list (Annex-A)
3. All shutdown request & availing departments details must be listed along with relevant formalities i.e.
A, B and C forms (Annex-B).
7. Feeder Tripping
Shift engineer must clearly dictate all 11 KV operations leading to normalization / isolation of faulty
zone to AE / Supervisor / FM at concerned operation center, later will be responsible to perform all
operation as dictated by operation control (shift engineer). AE operation center / Supervisor / FM
are responsible to maintain their relevant network and marked all the operation on network
drawing & register all details in log book / fault book / Message book. All operations performed by
the operation center must be conveyed to shift engineer. ( Detailed SOP enclosed)
SIP’s for HT / LT System Improvement Proposals for 11 V equipments / components new feeder
proposal are very important for smooth running of HT network. Proposal for new feeder may be
initiated if load on any 11 kv feeder reached to 70% or more, the proposal for additional feeder
must be consider as per system need. The basic observation for new Terminating Point of feeder
will be circulate from the Shift Engineer and field staff AE operation/AM/AM
(Admin)/Manager/DGM/GM/DCOO. The location of feeder Proposed must be not more than 2-2.5
kilometer and feeder propose at load center to relive more two feeders and provide operational
flexibility.
Similarly new HT linking Cables, for interconnection of feeders and improves isolations of feeders to
Provide feeder to feeder back feeding options. The Proposed, switches RMU, Isolator must be clear
at where the new link required to be connected.
Installation of Ring Main Units (RMUs) and Knife switches are very important the operational
concerned are required to Propose RMU at every long T-off of HT U/G / O/H network to
sectionalized the network in case of Tripping/faults. The installation of RMU/Knife switch will be
reduced the outage Time of the supply to customer.
Installation of new PMT under System Improvement Proposal from GM LT/VIBC the providing of HT
feeder must be decided by operation as per loading Position of Power Transformer, feeder and load
on HT/LT network.
Installation of Knife switches to be suggested at HT O/H Shackle points for large feeding HT O/H
feeders especially in the Orangi Town, vender, Uthal Bela the feeders of 100 or above HT spans.
This installation of Knife Switch will reduce the time for opened/closed the jumpers.
In case of HT conductor Broken more then 2-Spans must be forward to the concerned GM
(Network) for repairing of HT Spans and normalizing the area.
LT cable faults must be declared by operation with the coordination of the concerned
VIBC/Network and forward to UGM for repaired of cable special care must be taken during
repair/Back feeding of the area.
11KV Network Manual
Standard Operating Procedure
i. The first information of 11-KV feeder Tripping received from the concerned Grid station (S/D)
from the SBO to operation shift Engineer with the details of relays earth fault, Red, Yellow,
Blue, Instantaneous, with the details of surge (like light/heavy surge) observed at 11-KV VCB at
Grid-Station. Shift Engineer operation note all information at their log Book and desktop and
convey the same message to the concerned operation center and instruct to the AE/Supervisor
operation to dispatch MTL vehicle along with the line main gang.
ii. If all the relays at S/D operated then the shift engineer do not try the feeder, and field staff is
required to check the feeding of the 11-KV feeder and any information of flashover or blast on
HT/LT equipment received from the complaint center conveyed to HT operation must be check
first.
iii. If 11-KV feeder is terminating is Sub-Station VCB/OCB then the supervisor operation is required
to put OFF incoming S/D side switch of feeder in sub-station and try to check the different loops
of the 11-KV feeder and back feed at any other under load feeder with common isolations.
iv. In case of the all feeder loop found sound than the suspected Main cable fault can be declared
and conformed the Main cable fault if the main cable in back feeded at any other isolation
feeder’s feeding. If the isolation feeder tripped OFF then the main cable fault conform declared
with the remaining of back feeding operations.
v. After declaration of main cable fault the feeders 11-KV switch VCB at S/D must be at OFF,
trolley stage (TFS) rack out with Dander Board, the main cable fault also in the knowledge of
the Grid-Staff. (SBO)
vi. In Sub-Station the incoming S/D 11-KV switch trolley must be OFF trolley lower (T/L). If 11-KV
isolator than if must be OFF and Ground (E), In case of RMU incoming S/D side cable OFF and
Ground, Knife switch must be in OFF Position with loads opened and short at the knife switch,
similarly if the main cable is directly terminating at HT overhead mains cables lead must be
open and short by operational staff.
vii. After isolating the main cable from sub-station/RMU/Knife switch and S/D side with opened the
back plate of the S/D switch the job of main cable fault forwarded to concerned underground
maintenance department of R-I, II, III and IV etc.
viii. The area of the Effected main cable fault to be back feeded on the other feeders with common
isolations with the monitoring of loading position day/evening peak and must be in permissible
limit to avoid the addition of the cable faults.
ix. The operations carried out for the main cable fault of the feeder must be marked on shift
engineer network and concerned operation center network with details note in the log book.

Standard Operating Procedure
Rubber Insulated Gloves along with Rubber Insulated Sleeves and Rubber Insulated Mate shall be used
according to relevant KESC Standard Specification No. K/R&D/RG/50/2011
In case if more than one person is required to work on elevated place / pole, the second man should
not start climbing until the first man reaches at safe position or when descending until the first man is
on the ground.
Prior to start of work, the lineman should put his safety belt / full body harness around the pole or
some other suitable supports and make sure that the belt is properly secured. Care should be taken to
prevent the straps on safety belt coming in contact with anything that may open the snap and thus
release the safety belt. Safety belts should not be attached to insulator pins, mains wire, guard wires
etc.
Linemen's tools shall be so secured that they will not fall out of the tool belts. A lineman shall carry
only the minimum number of tools. All other tools shall be kept on the ground until they are required
and then lifted up by means of a material bag attached to a rope.
Ordinarily no lineman shall work vertically below another lineman on the same pole except under
emergencies. When this condition is necessary, extreme care should be taken to prevent tools or
other objects being dropped upon the man working just below.
When shifting wires and equipment from an existing to a new pole, the existing pole shall either be
locked with the new pole or guarded or both, as the condition may demand i.e. before start of work
i.e, before starting off loading.)
Before a Lineman cuts an overhead conductor he shall make sure that it will fall at clear place. If there
is a possibility of the falling line may came in contact with another wire or causing other damages, it
shall be lowered to ground with a manila rope.
All light equipment and tools to be used aloft shall be raised and lowered by means of a hand line and
canvas bucket, men on the ground should stand clear of overhead work to prevent being struck by
falling objects.
In no case the tools / materials shall be thrown upward from ground to a lineman working at height,
nor shall lineman throw tools and materials from working place to the ground.
No site working staff shall work in such a manner that his arms or any tools extend beyond the body of
pole.
After completion of assigned job, all broken insulators or any other sharp edged material shall not be
left in open place/ along the walk way or in the location where the hazard of cutting feet could be
caused for humans or animals, the same should be taken back to area office for proper disposal.
Extreme care should be taken when stringing wires across streets and highways, avoid interfering with
traffic which might cause injury to workmen or pedestrians. Danger signs should be placed on both
sides of the work location and where conditions warrant, flag-men shall be stationed.
Hand lines, materials, tools or equipment shall not be scattered around streets, side walks, highways,
etc. these must be kept in a neat and orderly manner simply to avoid accident.
Conductor from ground / pole shall be raised or lowered respectively with a dry hand line and extreme
care shall be exercised to prevent them from coming in contact with live lines and equipment.
Prior to the start of work, the circuit shall be properly isolated and grounded at both ends. A danger
sign board to be fixed which should be clearly visible.
After switching off the supply, before touching the lines, every one conductor shall be tested with
live line tester, in case there is no voltage then discharges the conductors by discharging rod (this
be done at the time of grounding / shorting with grounding rod). The discharging rods should be
kept at least two feet away from the body. This procedure is necessary in order to make sure that
the line to be worked on is actually the line that has been isolated. Rubber gloves along with
leather protecting gauntlet and rubber sleeve shall be used on both hands.
All the conductors shall then be shorted together and adequately grounded; this shall be done at
the points on each side of the place thereby creating a safety zone where the work is to be carried
out. Rubber hand gloves with leather gauntlets must be used while doing this work. Poles on which
work is to be carried out shall also be grounded.
All phases shall be grounded even if work is to be carried out on one phase only.
When work is to be carried out on lines of isolated conductors where grounding points are not
provided at point of work, temporary groundings should be used from the nearest available
ground.
Where two or more teams are working independently on the same line or equipment, each team
shall properly protect themselves by placing their own independent ground.
Work on Double Circuit Overhead lines with one Circuit alive shall not be carried out
Repair work on H.T. lines on poles where L.T is also running under H.T shall be carried out only after
switching off the L.T mains with ground / short effectively. Work on the L.T lines shall not be carried
out unless taking extreme safety precautions as already elaborated in clause 5.
In case of LT Breaker fault, the LT mains at that PMT if back fed from near by PMT, then a danger
board must be fixed along with proper intimation at HT operation center from LT customer center.
Some time HT is got off, for repair of LT at the same poles. If the LT emanates from the source
running on other feeder, then at the time of giving completion report, it must be reminded to
operation that LT is energized, so that L/M while going to remove short on HT must be aware of it
LT will be energized after removal of short on HT side.
After completion of the job and prior to giving clearance for switching it ‘ON’, team in-charge shall
make sure that all short and ground are removed and all equipments used had been removed from
workplace.
For further safety, lineman shall use the rubber insulating matting size 2.5'x4' and shall be placed
on conductor in front of him during work.

INTRODUCTION:
This document is developed as Standard Operating Procedure for restoring the tripped 11-KV feeders, so as
to avoid repeated “Tries” on the faulty feeders and flow of convulsive fault currents in the Grid Power
Transformer that may ultimately cause severe damages to the windings. This SOP is to be adopted and
followed by 11KV Distribution Operation, Grid SBO and LDC Engineers.
SCOPE
The power transformers installed in the Grid Station have crossed their maximum life and ages up to 40
years or more. The EHT system has now become redundant and it can’t be tried now and then due to the
constraints of 11 KV system. In order to manage all mentioned issues a team was formed that included all
the GMs of HT, personnel from LDC and Grid and few senior staff with vast knowledge of network. For the
same purpose, Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) is developed to avoid repeated tries on the faulty
feeders.
The SOP will be advantageous in a way that it will secure our system and the equipments installed in the
network. This will not only increase the reliability of the system but it will also ensure the safety of
equipment’s as well as the personnel working on them.
APPLICABILITY
11-KV Operation Controls, Area Operation Centers and LDC.
PROCEDURE
1. Situation – 1
In case of 11-KV feeder tripping at G/S with following condition:
a. Phase to phase relay indications,
b. RYB E-inst / time delay indications,
c. Any relay indication with heavy surge
d. Power Transformer tripped either from 11 KV or 132 KV or both sides then,
Action: Grid - SBO will inform LDC and HT Operation Shift Engineer. LDC Shift Engineer will
then inform SBO not to put “ON” the feeder, even if the HT Operation Shift Engineer
requests for a “Try”.
The status of Protection Relay shall be properly recorded by SBO at the VCB of feeder, 11KV
I/C of transformer and 132 KV breaker.
For switching “ON” such feeder, HT Operation Engineer will ensure one of the following
actions and will inform LDC through E-Mail/SMS. The LDC Engineer will inform SBO for
putting “ON” such feeder on receiving clearance from Operation Engineer and will reply to
operation engineer accordingly.
2. Situation – 2
3. Situation – 3
In case the feeder trips “OFF” again, following procedure will be adopted.
In case of single cable feeder from the G/S, If EFI at the incoming of the feeder is found Operated
(or the incoming OCB/VCB of the feeder is found operated) then it means that the main cable is
sound, then
3.1.1. Switch “OFF” the outgoing loops on which EFI has operated.
11KV Network Manual
Standard Operating Procedure
3.1.2. Switch “OFF” the incoming of feeder, Local Transformer and all outgoing switches.
3.1.3. Get the feeder Switch “ON” from the G/S, after checking the Grid VCB of the feeder by the SBO
at the G/S.
3.1.4. Check all the suspected loops on the basis of EFI operated.
3.1.6. Switch “ON” the loops one by one to normalize the Network.
3.1.7. If EFIs have not installed at the outgoing loops, check all the loops thoroughly to trace the faulty
section, isolate the faulty section and then put “ON” the healthy loops one by one, this may
again cause tripping of the feeder, if the faulty section was not traced or due to multiple faults,
then repeat the above procedure more carefully.
3.1.8. If while going through step (3.1.7) feeder tripped again then step (3.1.1 ~ 3.1.6) will be followed
according to relay operation.
3.2.2. Installed at the G/S and on tripping of the feeder the SBO will inform whether EFI has operated
or not. In case the EFI gets operated the fault will be in the feeder “A” side and if the EFI did not
operate at the G/S then the fault will be in the feeder “B” side, therefore, operation staff may
accordingly be dispatched to attend the tripping of the feeder.
3.2.3. If the feeder trips with EFI operated at the G/S, then fault is at feeder “A” side, get EFI at the
incoming of feeder “A” be checked, if it is found not operated, then declare the main cable of
feeder “A” faulty, get the faulty cable isolated and normalize the healthy one, otherwise if the
EFI is found operated then follow the instruction (3.1.2) to (3.1.7).
3.1.21. If the feeder trips without operating EFI at the G/S, then fault is at feeder “B” side. Get EFI at
the incoming of the feeder “B” be checked and if it is found not operated then declare the main
cable of feeder “B” faulty. Get the faulty cable isolated and normalize the healthy one,
otherwise if the EFI is found operated then follow the instruction (3.1.2) to (3.1.8).
3.1.22. In case EFI is not installed / faulty / timed-out due to delayed attendance, instructions (3.1.1) to
(3.1.6) will be followed by Operation engineer.

a. Once the road cutting permission is granted (if required) from the concerned civic agencies (Town, CDGK,
KPT, DMC’s, Cantonment, Site Limited, NHA etc), excavation process begins.
b. Depth/Level of excavated ground should be as per the standards defined by IEC i.e. 1meter.
c. When laying the cable, supervisor should ensure the proper depth of the excavated ground.
d. If 1 Meter depth cannot be achieved due to any hindrance in excavation i.e. Rocky soil, Utility Lines passing
across and hard concrete floor, maximum possible excavation that could be carried out will be done. GI &
Hume pipes are to be used to pass the cable through the part of the land which will create hindrance when
excavated in future e.g. Factory gate, road crossing, Railway crossing, sewage line, and open sewage NALA
etc.
e. After the cable has been laid, warning tiles are placed over the laid cable.
f. Back filling and leveling work of ground is done in the end.
termination kit, EPR tapes, PVC tapes, 11 KV tester, etc. are sent along with the jointer’s team to repair
fault.
d. On reaching the fault location, the cable jointer will ask the laborers (outsourced) to excavate the pin
pointed area to expose the faulty cable / portion, ensuring first that road cutting intimation to concerned
Civic Agency is handy at site.
e. After re-confirmation of fault area once exposed cable jointer will cut the affected portion of the cable.
f. For terminations If only 1- core / 2- core is damaged of HT Termination only the required material of 1-
core / 2- core is used for HT Termination repairing. Also loose Bi Metallic Lugs are used wherever required
to repair the HT Termination
g. After cutting the faulty cable, the cable jointer will make termination of both ends of the cable for the
testing team to apply pressure and to reconfirm if the fault is removed or exists in the cable.
h. After confirmation from testing for the soundness of the both the cut portions cable jointer will repair
faults / make joints with relevant material (XLPE of the cable is to be cleaned precisely with Kerosene oil)
and will inform testing for final pressure to determine if fault is resolve.
i. When laying a cable piece, the bends in the cable should be minimal.
j. Contract laborers will then re fill the excavated portion of the road to cover the cable as a temporary road
repair.
UGM’s job domain also includes installing, testing, replacement, repairing and energizing new cables through
SIP Proposals & NC Proposals.
a. After the receipt of proposal for new 11 KV cables from HT operations / NC department, joint survey of

GROUNDING OF CONDUCTOR:
The grounding conductor, and its attachment to the shield or metallic sheath, normally
at a termination or splice, should have an ampacity no lower than that of the shield. In
the case of a lead sheath, the grounding conductor must be able to carry the available
fault current over its duration without overheating. Attachment to shield or sheath is
frequently by means of solder, which has a low melting point; thus an adequate area of
attachment is required.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Do not leave one end ungrounded, as that may create high voltages on the ungrounded end and may
jeopardize system/equipment/personnel safety.
Do not leave Ground strip disconnected.
Do not used under size wire for ground strip.
Do not use Cable Strip via binding wire at Substation.
Follow only set standards for connecting earth strip.
Inappropriate cable termination.
Follow standard operating procedure for grounding.
Strict logging for actual reasons of cable fault be maintained.
Before start of work at site, tools box talks shall be arranged by the Site Engineer/Supervisor for all staff
deputed to carrying out designated work of intended activity.
Site supervisor shall ensure that all KESC staff working at site is properly equipped with necessary
PPEs/SPEs before start of any activity at site
Caution Notice/Flags and danger board sign shall be placed near work place
Arrangement of emergency lights shall be made available for site work carried out during night
All shutdown arrangements regarding lying, jointing, terminating, testing and commissioning /energization
shall be carried out as per standard safety procedures.
To Ensure complete shutdown of cable at both ends .
Physically checking both ends of cable.
Use of SPE’S / Live line tester /discharging rod.
Proper Grounding / Earthing of instrument.
To ensure required cable is exposed clearly at least 12’ from all sides at desired place.
After identification Nail to be used for pick axing.
After pick axing, cable to be re-confirmed by HIPOT method.
HT CABLE JOINTING.
After confirmation of Isolation of Faulty cable from Operation Testing team will be dispatched on site with
applicable PPEs /SPEs and they will PP the Fault then inform the Jointing team to reach the fault location.
The first and the foremost step taken by the jointing team is to confirm the exact location of the fault and
confirm from operation that cable is isolate. The road cutting intimation Performa will be submitted in
office of concerned civic agency and if the fault is PP in late hours / night hours concerned civic agency will
11KV Network Manual
Standard Operating Procedure
be informed verbally and if not possible gang will execute the excavation work with having emergency
Performa with them.
Once the road cutting permission is granted ( if required) from the concerned civic agencies (Town, CBC ,
DHA, CDGK, KPT, DMC’s, Cantonment, Site Limited, NHA etc), excavation process begins and continue till
the faulty cable is exposed.
Jointer must ensure proper tools required for cutting/splicing the faulty cable before jointing.
Ends of the cable are made for cable pressure test for testing team.
Jointing / Termination work begins with cutting different layers of the cable as per IEC standard and precise
measurements mentioned in the joint manual.
Layers include cutting of Outer sheath, armoring, inner sheath, copper screen, outer semiconducting
tape, XLPE, inner semiconducting tape, aluminum core strands.
XLPE of the cable is cleaned precisely with Kerosene oil.
Moisture/water vapors/ air gap/ vacuum content are avoided near the jointing / termination ends.
Depending on the type of joint used (Elastimold, Raychem, heat shrink etc), different steps are taken to
ensure a proper joint.
If complete HT joint is not available due to any issue i.e. Non- availability, extreme shortage etc. Joints will
be made with loose Material i.e. HT Ferrules 300mmsq , EPR tape.
Excavation for HT- cable loop will be carried out and if HT- cable loop not found HT-cable piece will be laid
to clear the HTCF
Back filling and leveling work of ground is done in the end.
Clearance is given to the UGM- control after completion of work.
