COMPREHENSIVE ELECTRICAL POWER SYSTEM SAFETY AUDIT REPORT

INTRODUCTION:

As part of keeping up with technology and safety concerns, NFPA 70E Committee
addresses these changes and update its standards every 3 years. The challenge for every
employer is to keep their electrical safety program up to date, address those changes, and
conduct electrical safety audits to verify compliance with standard. With such criticality,
Facilities here in Manila comply with these recommendations.

This is a sample of a comprehensive electrical audit we have conducted. The report

has been checked by three distinguishable engineers in their respective fields. Engr. Christian
Tabios, for the Power System Analysis; Engr. Timothy Gatan, for the Power Quality Evaluation;
and Engr. Paolo Tolentino for the Preventive Maintenance Program.

EVALUATION:

I. Simulation – This consist of the Power System Analysis which provides the end
user an overview of its electrical system. This answers the questions such as are
the existing equipment able to handle the available faults, and basic questions
regarding system parameters.

II. Data Gathering – Power Quality Evaluation handle this side of field, abnormalities
in the system are what its after. Power Quality Events are 30% to 40% culprit in
most downtime. Most often than not, engineers try to provide solutions based on
stories, and with that, solutions may not be optimized. In a Power Quality
Evaluation Report, solutions are based on what the electrical system is
experiencing, and in turn, will lead to a “minimized budget, maximized solution”.

III. Electrical Evaluation – Recent technology offers us a wide array of on-line

inspection, including infrared thermal scanning. Finding thermal abnormalities is a
way in ensuring reliability, and efficiency of any system. Thermal Scanning
Evaluation is an online testing where in thermal energy is analyzed.

CONCLUSION:

Most often than not, thermal abnormalities are the major concern in every audit report.
However, for this audit, Power Quality Events have been the major focus. It has been
recommended that in order to optimize the life expectancy of every equipment, voltage
regulators and surge suppressors needs to be installed. Other findings are based on
standards and will be implemented during the preventive maintenance activity.

3. Data for Electrical System Analysis

This presents the data of electrical system for the preparation of technical engineering report.
Major electrical equipment data were obtained to address and analyze the technical
implications of the present in the facility.

a. Cable Data
Significant data must be verified to conduct an accurate analysis for the electrical
system. In this project, all cable data were obtained from designer specification.
Presented hereunder are the significant data of cables for the electrical system
analysis:
i. Size (mm2)
ii. Length (m)
iii. # of cables per phase
iv. Ampacity (A)
v. Impedance (ohms) for and voltage drop and short circuit analysis

The following cable identification code was reflected and used in this technical
engineering report for representation purposes:

b. Transformer Data
Transformer data were based on actual supplier specification and from transformer
nameplate. Hereunder are the significant data for the transformer:
i. Capacity (MVA)
ii. Primary and Secondary Voltage (kV)
iii. Grounding Configuration
iv. Percent Impedance (%)

c. Generator Data
All Generator data were based on actual supplier specification and can be obtained in
the generator nameplate and datasheet. The following are the significant data of
generator for the project:
i. Rated Power
ii. Efficiency
iii. Rated Voltage
iv. Sub transient Reactance (X”d)

d. Electrical One-line Diagram

The electrical one-line diagram was simplified to show a clear view of the electrical
equipment focused on the analysis. The following equipment were reflected in the one
line diagram:
i. System was fed from the following power supplies: MERALCO Utility Source);
and back-up generator which consists of two (2) generator set;
ii. Feeders/ cables that interconnects equipment;
iii. Protective devices such as MCCB, and ACB.
iv. Lumped motor loads such as chillers, fire pump and panels for Pump loads;
v. Switchgears represented as bus bars;
vi. Distribution transformers in ANSI template.

Remarks:
One of the events recorded in LVSG 3 is voltage dip. This is the waveform in one event.
It can be seen that the waveform suddenly dips with a magnitude of 227.5 Vrms, for
about 33msec. These events can cause breakdowns in sensitive electrical components.
