GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The bus duct are Isolated Phases Bus type, this means that each phase conductor is enclosed in an individual, non magnetic metal housing, separated from the housing of the adjacent conductor by an air gap. The conductors are cylinders made of pure aluminium and are supported in a radial way by insulators. The enclosures are electrically bonded together at the extremities and earthed (normally in only one point). This design permits the induced currents to flow in each enclosure with an intensity close to the one of the phase current of the conductor (90 98%), but in the opposite direction. This reduces the flux outside the enclosure by about 95% both under normal and fault conditions and therefore: Eliminates the forces between conductors of adjacent phases and reduces the forces in bends and other discontinuities. Cancels the induction effect of the currents i.e. heating and losses in the nearby components such as steelworks, cables, pipes... Associated to the fully welded design of enclosure and the conductors, this type of bus duct also offers other advantages such as: - Possibility of large unsupported spans due to the high moment of inertia of the cylindrical shaped, seams welded aluminium enclosure.

- Impossibility that a phase to phase fault occurs. - Reduction of the risk of a phase earth fault and impossibility of transmit this fault to other phases. - The personnel can easily reach the bus bars because all the accessible parts are grounded and the voltage rise in the enclosure is very little, having a resistive origin only.

MAINTENANCE Introduction
At factory, before bus duct system packing and shipment, all the bus duct spools are cleaned inside and plugged at the extremity using a polyethylene sheet clamped on the bus duct enclosure. For this type of bus ducts is not required any maintenance, anyway we recommend to avoid as much as possible to open the inspection hatches (where applicable) and to dismantle the extremity. Cares are to be taken when it is recommended to dismantle the followings: Current transformers - for maintenance and/or substitution Links - for equipment isolation.
The inspection hatches must be closed immediately after the operations in order to avoid massive dust entrance. In the event of disassembly and reassemble of any part of the conductor, it is recommended the use of dynamometric spanner to assure the torque setting on the bolts, as shown in the attached table. In the subsequent pages are briefly described the operations to disassemble and reassemble the major parts of the bus duct such as: Insulators Enclosure flexible joint Extremity bushing Bolted conductor connections
Before carrying out any operation it is suggested to review the relevant detailed drawings. If some components have to be substituted, its necessary to request Alfa Standard using the number position and, if exists, the reference. Example: If the insulator box cover has to be substituted, the requisition of spare part will shown the following: No. 12 cover item Pos. 4 code MP2.

Condensate discharge
The condensate dischargers installed on the bus ducts are of automatic discharge type, so a cyclic maintenance is not foreseen, also because the liquid formation of the condensate is not considerable. Alfa Standard recommends to effect a control verification of the dischargers any on occasion of the stops programmed for the plant. Execute the verification in the following way: - open (screw out in clockwise direction of rotation) the discharge valve 5 blow air for same minutes.

PRESSURIZATION Introduction
Given that: - the pressurization represents the second level of bus duct inner part protection from the external ambient and atmosphere; - the first bus duct protection level is constituted by a series of condensate dischargers which discharge outside all the condensate that can appear inside the same bus ducts, as consequence of air entry from outside up to ambient thermal range. the condensate dischargers are a standard complement of bus ducts and so are always present, also when the pressurization system is realized; - the first bus duct protection level grants the full operative efficiency of bus ducts, even if it is not able to avoid the entry of polluting / corrosive agents in them, or also the entry of dust eventually present in the atmosphere; - the pressurization, providing to put inside the bus ducts air previously dehydrated and keeping it in conditions of a light overpressure, realizes a barrier against the entry of ambient air, avoiding in this case the inconveniences cause by ambient air.
13.2
Equipment
- A pressurization system is dedicated to every unit of a plant, consisting of 3 single-phase bus ducts, it is able to supply a minimum of 1.5 times the amount of air needed to restore theoretical maximum physiological leakage in a unit; - Every pressurization system consists of a pressurization panel and the relevant material necessary for realizing bus duct connection. - The pressurization panel is made up of the following components (see Fig. 1): 1) Pressure switch for high pressure; 2) Pressure switch for low pressure; 3) Relief valve; 4) Manometer air feeding pressure; 5) Automatic condensate discharge; 6) Manometer pressure 1st reduction step; 7) Pressure reducing valve - 1st reduction step; 8) Pressure reducing valve 2nd reduction step; 9) Manometer bus duct pressure; 10) Electric panel for signals interfacing. PA electric feeding present PAH bus duct high pressure alarm light PAL bus duct low pressure alarm light Q1 line disconnecting switch 11) Exit for quick IPB pressurization

13.3
Operations
Each pressurization system acts as follows: the pressurization panel receives the air at a pressure of 4-7 BAR, that is read on the manometer in position 4. Passing through the filter and the 1st reduction stage it is cleaned and reduced at 1,7 bar (group in position 7), on the manometer in position 6the pressure of the air exit after the first reduction step is visible. - The air will arrive in the second reduction group (position 8). At the exit of the same, the pressure of the fluid will be reduced to the foreseen value to be put inside the conductors 5mbar. - The value read on the manometer in position 9 is the pressure obtained directly on the exit of reducing valve in position 8 and its the same of IPB pressure. The ensemble of assembled equipments can grant that to the bus ducts doesnt arrive a pressure superior to the maximum foreseen, even in the event of a simultaneous damage of the two pressure reducing valves. Once the pressurization system is activated following the procedures listed below, and reached the balance conditions, three following cases can be supposed: Pressurization system activated/efficient instruments
CASE A:
The leaks occurred in the bus ducts remain into the foreseen limits, the system is in balance at a pressurization of 5 mbar and any signalling/safety device is activated. CASE B: Pressurization system activated/efficient instruments /bus ducts with seal anomalies
The leaks occurred in the bus ducts up to anomalies, exceed also the limits of pressurization panel restoring, the pressure inside bus ducts decreases, and when it reach the value of 2,5 mbar the pressure switch for low pressure starts (pos. 2). The anomaly is signalled on the pressurization panel by the light PAL and eventually in the control room so that the operator can take the necessary actions. CASE C: Pressurization system activated/instruments with anomalies occurred
Possible causes are: - Breaking of pressure reducer - 1st reduction step in position 7 The air doesnt pass, the fluid doesnt arrive to the conductors and the pressure switch in pos. 2 signals low pressure alarm (PAL light on), on manometers in pos. 9 there is no reading. - The air passes at the conductors with a pressure superior to 8mbar given by the reducing valve in pos. 8, the pressure switch in pos. 1 signals high pressure alarm (PAH light on) and the relief valve (pos. 3) acts discharging the exceeding pressure. - In the over mentioned case, check the correct adjustment of reducing valve in pos. 8 regulating it again at the work pressure (5mbar)

Procedure for setting up the pressurization system
Starting from the completion of the plant inspection (*), functionally and mechanically, carry out the following steps: - Verify that the two interception valves placed under the first reduction stage (pos. 7)are closed - Operate the manometer (pos. 4, 9) opening the manual interception valve near to the same - Check that no obstacles are present for the use of the relief valve (pos. 3) - Ask the operator of control room to activate the electric circuits of feed and signalling relevant to the pressurization panel. As a consequence the low pressure signals (PAL light) in the bus ducts result activated both on the panel and in the control room. Gradually open the interception manual valve of air feeding of pressurization panel, keeping closed the air interception manual valve at bus ducts. Regulate the first reduction stage acting directly on the reducing valve grip in pos. 7 and take the exit pressure at 1,7 bar read on manometer in pos. 6. Regulate the second reduction stage acting directly on the reducing valve in pos. 8 and take the exit pressure at 5mbar read on the manometer in pos. 9
Gradually open the manual valve of bus duct air interception. When the pressure in the bus ducts reaches 2,5 mbar, the low pressure signalling lamp (PAL) turns off on the panel and in the control room the anomaly signal is lost. The pressure inside the bus ducts continues gradually to increase till stabilize at the foreseen value of 5 mbar. - The procedure of starting/setting is completed.
(*) The pressurization panel supplied by Alfa Standard will reach the site already tested/inspected and regulated for the running following the optimal operating pressure (5 mbar)

Quick duct pressurization
If the Committee intends to carry out a quick bus duct pressurization it is necessary to predispose the relevant circuit. 1. Correctly carry out the starting procedure 2. Close the manual valve of bus duct air interception 3. Regulate the second reduction stage acting directly on the reducing valve in pos. 8 and take the exit pressure at a value included between 15 and 20mbar maximum (pressure read on the manometer in pos. 9) 4. Gradually open the manual valve of bus duct air interception 5. It is obliged for the technical personnel who carry out this operation, to constantly check the bus duct loading 6. When the technical personnel who carry out this operation verify that the pressure read on the manometer in pos. 9 is close to the work pressure (5mbar) or exceed it, must immediately close the manual valve of bus duct air interception 7. Regulate again the second reduction stage acting directly on the reducing valve in pos. 8 and take the exit pressure at 5mbar read on the manometer in pos. 9 8. Gradually open the manual valve of bus duct air interception 9. The procedure of rapid starting/setting is completed. 10. The conductor pressure could be superior to 8mbar, the pressure switch in pos. 1 signs high pressure alarm (PAH light on) and the relief valve (pos. 3) acts discharging the excess pressure.
Bus ducts pressure continues gradually to equilibrate till stabilize to the foreseen value of 5mbar.
NOTES 1. in order to check the eventual leaks on the bus duct, it is necessary to use a nebulizer containing water and soap. If such leaks are discovered, they must be plugged. 2. Never exceed the pressure of 20 mbar otherwise Alfa Standard will not be responsible in case of manometers, bushing and coupling breaking present on the bus duct, and interested by air pressure.
