Safety and Precaution
• Trainee MUST wear Personal Protection Equipement during working
period
1. Safety Helmet
2. Safety Vest
3. Safety Boot

• At substation , Trainee is not allowed to enter without any permission.

One should seek for permission and not be let alone for SAFETY AND
PRECAUTION.

• Through Observation , it was important to care of the safety of the

worker ,public and environment

• At PPNP it was important to protect our customer safety by PNC and not
printing out the bills

Planning
• Trainee was exposed to process of planning a new project
• Pulled from an closes existing substation , calculate the
current make sure it does not go above 275 Amp
• Consultant will only give the demand in power rating
were to convert using the following formula and then
TECHNICIAN were to see which available equipement
rating is needed

2019/9/11
Project
• This division were to execute the project handed over
from the planning department
• Installing new SWITCHGEAR, FEEDER PILLAR
and TRANSFORMER
• Once done it will be under MAINTENCE
DEPARTMENT care

2019/9/11
PPNP
• At here I was dealing with customer at the front desk
• Guiding them to use KIOSK for payment of bill
• Guiding them to do COT,closing account,checking bill
and etc
• Learn about Back billing , Large Power Consumer (LPC)
and Ordinary Power Consumer (OPC)

 PIDAR
• Polarization Index Dielectric Absorption Ratio
(PIDAR) known as time resistance
Where test of insulation is measured using a
Meggar 5kv at interval of

A) 30 seconds
B)1 minute
C)10 minute

• Where reading should follow as below

T60/T30 T600/T60
<1.25 Questionable <1 Dangerous
≤1.6 Adequate <2 Questionable
>1.6 Good <4 Good
>4 Excellent

• Hence from the reading previously it was questionable ,thus the

order of PD MAPPING test to be CONDUCTED

2019/9/11
Partial Discharge
Mapping
• Partial Discharge Mapping test is needed to be done
on the cables to determine any unusual activities
relating to the overall dielectric integrity of the
cables or in the cable itself.
Time Domain
Callibarator Reflector Oscillation
Meter (TDR)

• Callibarator – Measure sinus peak to peak

2019/9/11
 TDR is used to measure the distance
of the cable from one substation to another
• To obtain no of joint and types of joint

Paper Insulated Lead Cable Cross Link Poly-Ethylene

(PILC) (XLPE)
• At Substation Nusarhu to substation Puncak Perdana the distance of
cable the distance is 1900m and from the TDR approximately 8 Joint
(sometime joint are not accurate)

2019/9/11
• Oscillations wave Time system is a software
used to obtain data from Partial Discharge
• Firstly system inject a voltage depend whether high voltage
or medium voltage

Cable Type Voltage Injected

High Voltage (33 kV) 19.0 kV
Medium Voltage (11 kV) 6.3 kV

• Second have to charge every increment from 0 V to 1.3 V

however the sequence are as follows
Value Charge
0-0.9V 1 time
1.0V 5 time
1.1V-1.2V 1 time
1.3V 5 time 2019/9/11
Why Charge 5 times?

2019/9/11
• The 1 Partial Discharge Extension Voltage – the very first
injection of voltage is saved
• The 1 Partial Discharge Inseption Voltage-the very last
injection of voltage
• Both data is saved and a report is given usually active
activity zone will be corrected.

Limiting factor
• Water Ingress will effect the reading
• A distance not more than 2500 m

2019/9/11
Substation

2019/9/11
Condition Based
Maintenance
• CBM detect two major symptom at the substation
either ultrasonic sound effect or hotspot detection
• Ultrasonic sound effect is check on high tension area
only (Switch Gear , Transformer (primary side) using
Ultrasonic Sound Probe
• Hotspot is detected for both Low Voltage and High
Tension equipement (Switch Gear, Transformer,
LVDB) using and infared ray camera

2019/9/11
• Ultrasonic problem has different
categories of problem , standardized based on
THEORY is as below
Sound Problem
LOW CORONA
MEDIUM TRACKING
HIGH ARCHING

•However CONTRACTORS have to reconfirm

using a sofware and analyse the case in details
based on the graph

2019/9/11
•Hotspot is detected two way usuallly
in the substation
1.A temperature above 40 degree celcius
2.Uneven Temperature along the cable track

2019/9/11
Conclusion
• Period of 3 months ,Trainee were able to adapt to the
sturucture of TNB
• A pro active department is always a good platform to
train to be a competent engineer
• Thanks to all the colleques and individual whom have
help me

Thank you !!!!
