PROPASAL FOR REPLACEMENT OF ACSR PANTHER

CONDUCTOR WITH HTLS CONDUCTOR OF 132 KV S/C

MUZAFFARNAGAR(400 KV)-BHOPA ROAD LINE

132 KV Sub-Station BHOPA ROAD falls under ETD,Muzaffarnagar where

various urban and Industrial load are developing at a fast rate, presently
the urban and Industrial energy demand of Muzaffarnagar district and
nearby area is met through (2x63MVA) 132/33 KV Transformers installed
at 132 KV S/S Bhopa Road which is fed from 400 KV
Muzaffarnagar(Primary Source) and 220 KV Nara Sub-station(alternate
source) through 132 KV S/C lines of ACSR Panther Conductor.

The present connected load on the Sub-Station is ___ MVA , the

primary source of 132 KV Sub-Station i.e. 400 KV Muzaffarnagar feeds this
connected load which leads the loading on the 132 KV Muzaffarnagar(400
KV)-Bhopa Road line to exceed over its critical limit as the current on this
line is generally in range of 526 Amp (i.e.120 MVA) round the clock
throughout the year, which is higher than the rated continuous current
carrying capacity of ACSR Panther conductor used on the line and
operation of line at higher current level than rated capacity creates severe
safety issues apart from frequent O&M problems such as load shedding,
tripping etc, thus to strengthen and improve the reliability of the primary
132 KV Sub-Station it is proposed replace the existing ACSR Panther
conductor with ACCC HTLS conductor, use of ACCC HTLS
conductor possessing superior current carrying capacity will
effectively resolve the issue of high loading of the 132 KV
Muzaffarnagar(400 KV)-Bhopa Road line and will further strengthen
this line to cope with any future increment in line current arising due to
increase in capacity of 132 KV bhopa road Sub-Station.

As 132 KV Bhopa Road Sub-Station is one of the major source to feed

the ever growing energy demand of Muzaffarangar district, to avoid
disruptions in power supply due to high loading of the 132 KV
Muzaffarnagar(400 KV)-Bhopa Road line and make this line future proof to
any increase in capacity of 132 KV Bhopa Road sub-station, it is the need
of the hour to change the existing ACSR Panther conductor with ACCC
HTLS conductor as this will be another small stepping stone in fulfilling the
Power for all and 24 x 7 power commitment of Central and State
government

Hence it is proposed to replace the ACSR panther conductor of 132 kv

S/C muzaffarnagar(400 kv)-bhopa road line with ACCC HTLS conductor,
this will work as a mile stone to meet out the industrial & urban load
demand reliably in the Muzaffarnagar district. An expenditure of INR
295.47 lacs is likely to be incurred on this project.
