Scheme # 42B

To allow operation of dual output transformer rectifiers with one field removed from service and to prevent opening any access doors of an electrostatic precipitator until all power supplies are de-energized and properly grounded.

All main breakers in ESP control room are closed to supply all transformer rectifiers. All A keys (A-1, A-2, A-3, etc.) are held in L-O interlocks on the breakers. All TR splitter switches are locked in the ON position. All G keys (G1, G2, etc), NT and ST keys are held in the L-C interlocks on the ground position of the TR splitter switches. An additional A key for each main breaker is held in the transfer panel (key exchange box). All access doors are locked closed and all access door keys (DN & DS) are held in the transfer panel.

To access both "North" and "South" chambers:

Open breaker A-1.
Turn key A-1 in L-O interlock to lock breaker in the open position. Key A-1 is now free.
Lock open all other breakers and free all A keys (A-2, A-3, A-4, etc.).
Insert all A keys in their respective L-C interlocks on the "South" side of each TR splitter switch and turn to unlock. All A keys are now held.
Rotate each TR "South" side splitter switch handle to the ground position.
Turn the ST key in each L-C interlock locking each switch handle in the ground position. All ST and "South" side G keys are now free.
Insert all "South" side G keys (G1, G2, etc.) into the transfer panel and turn to release all A keys. The G keys are now held.
Remove all A keys and insert each key in the respective L-C interlocks on the "North" side of each TR splitter switch and turn to unlock. All A keys
are now held.
Rotate each TR "North" side splitter switch handle to the ground position.
Turn the NT key in each L-C interlock locking each switch handle in the ground position. All NT and "North" side G keys are now free.
Insert all NT and ST keys in the transfer panel to release all DN and DS keys. Turn and remove the DN and DS keys from the transfer panel.
Note: DN and DS keys are secondary keys and cannot be removed until all primary keys (NT and ST keys) are inserted and turned.
Insert the DN and DS keys in each access door interlock to be opened and turn to unlock. The DN and DS keys will remain held in each access
door interlock as long as the door is open.


To restore service to both chambers, close and lock all access doors, return all DN and DS keys to the transfer panel and reverse the above sequence.

Other TR fields can be removed from service in the same manner. Reverse sequence to reenergize each field.

The scheme above represents basic guidelines regarding the proper interlock sequence for an Electro-Static Precipitator. The equipment that comprises an E.S.P., or Baghouse can vary depending upon the manufacturer and age of the equipment. Let us know your specific needs and we will be glad to provide a free proposal without obligation.
