consturction department

In construction department, they responsible to construct substation and overhead pole.

Usually, contractor will do the initial work like dig hole for joining, places the switchgear
or transformer, place the pole and the other work.

Apart from that, TNB also responsible to shut down the substation that involved in the
construction before the contractor start doing their job to avoid accident from happening.

The important work in construction job is joining cable to make sure that the new
substation will get the supply to operate . Furthermore joining cable is done when there is
breakdown which happened because the cable is damaged.
Type of cable

Paper Insulated Lead Cable (PILC) Cross Linked Polyethylene (XLPE)

Joining cable

There two types of joining cable that are:

Straight through joint
Termination joint

Termination joint straight through joint

Breakdown of cable
Low Voltage Overhead Lines

Presently all new lines are constructed using aluminum.

Copper conductors are used only for repair of copper lines.

Advantages of Aluminum :
cheaper than copper
lighter and easier to handle
less scraper value, not prone to theft

Disadvantages of Aluminum :
softer than copper and required careful handling
oxidizes easily making connections more difficult

Poles For LV Overhead Line

Four types of poles are used in the TNB : The standard lengths are:
Wood Poles 10 meter - for HT cable (HV)
Pre-stressed Spun Concrete poles 9 meter - for overhead mains (LV)
Reinforced Concrete Poles

The functions of poles are:

To support conductors and accessories such as fuses
and cable boxes
The safety clearance from the ground, building are
maintained
High Voltage Cable

The 11kV supply that feeds into switchgear comes in the XLPE cable (HV cable).
In one cable, have three cores (R, Y, B) which is connected to the three terminals
of incoming feeder of the switchgear.
From the switchgear, the supply goes to the HV side of the transformer through
XLPE cable

Switchgear Transformer Feeder Pillar

Planning department

This department is responsible to estimation the project include in designing,

planning in all new project requested by users and modified system available
depends on situation.

This department also responsible to calculate maximum demand, cable size,

calculate load, and determine suitable transformer size and switchgear for
consumer
Estimating the project

Estimation of substation project involves working out the cost of the following
Land
Salaries
Materials
Contract
Transport
Overhead
SITE VISIT

Site visits are essential before planning starts. The following can be obtained from site visits.
a) Sources of supply
b) Types of loads
c) Site information on:
Trees
Ground conditions and terrain
Other services on site such as telephone lines and water mains.
Drains, stream, ponds etc
MAKING A Site visit
Metering unit
Type Of Metering Used To Consumer :
a) Ordinary power consumer meter (OPC meter) Metering
b) Large Power consumer meter (LPC meter)
Ordinary Power Consumer (OPC)
1. Electromechanical single
phase
2. Electronic single phase
3. Electromechanical three
phase
4. Electronic three phase
Large Power Consumer (LPC)
1. Electromechanical three
phase (LV)
2. Electronic three phase (LV)
3. Electromechanical three
phase (HT)
4. Electronic three phase (HT)
Type of metering

There are three types of metering

1. Single phases metering (OPC meter).
The current value uses in fuse about 10-50 A.
Use two wire connected from supply to meter board consumer
Having one cut out and one neutral link
2. Three phase metering (OPC meter)
The current value uses in fuse about 10-60 A.
Used four wire connected from supply to meter board consumer
Having one neutral link and three cut out
3. Large power consumer meter (LPC meter).
Use digital electronic meter
Use current transformer
Component of meter

a) The devices at meter board are

Cut out Neutral link Meter
