 ABSTRACT

Iron was possibly used in Egypt, from the middle pre historic times (7000-6000 B.C.).

The manufactured iron did not come into general use until after the Assyrian invasion of

Egypt in 666 B.C. The art of smelting iron was known in India in ancient times.

Reference to iron has been made in the Rig Veda (2000 B.C.). It is probable that the Iron

Age in India has started about 3,000 years before the industry started in European

countries. In those days Hyderabad and Madras in South India were the centers of

production of Wootz, the ancient Indian Steel which was highly priced in world market.

Earth’s Crust Contains nearly 5% i.e 755 x 110 15 tons or 755 Million Billion tons of

iron. Among the major steel producers industries in India, Visakhapatnam Steel

Plant has come a long way and has become the shining star on the industrial horizon

and has become a symbol of every changing and endless new possibilities.

This report gives an overview to the companies followed by the description

of the functioning of various circuit breakers and relays in Visakhapatnam Steel Plant. It first

describes the functioning of circuit breakers followed by the description of the

functioning of different relays and their different applications, which serves vital

importance in Steel Plant and finally they bring a lot of profit for the industry.
