1 Requirements and policy

Reliable telecommunication services are essential for the efficient operation of a power station during normal and emergency conditions. To ensure the required availability of telecommunication services at all times, it is CEGB policy to provide separate, dispersed, independent and, where necessary, duplicated telecommunication systems.

The term telecommunications in respect of a CEGB power station covers the following:

Telephonic communication on site.

Telephonic communication to locations outside the power station.

Radio paging of staff on site.

Radio communication both on-site and off-site.

Audible and visual broadcast of information and emergency instructions.

To the associated 400 kV or 275 kV switching station (which may be on-site or off-site), through which the bulk of the power station electrical output is fed into the 400/275 kV national grid tranmission system.

To the public switched telephone network (PSTN) operated by British Telecommunications plc (BT) (the main British national telephone company) and also to the BT national cable network.

To the emergency services, i.e., Police, Fire and Ambulance.

To the CEGB corporate telephone network (CTN).

1.2 Requirements on the power station site

A number of telecommunication systems are provided on site to ensure diversity and reliability of operation.

1.2.1 General telephone requirements

1.1 Access to off-site services

Good communication links are required from power stations to the following locations and services:

To the national grid system operations control and telephone network; and in particular, to the area grid control centre from which the power station receives generation and operational instructions, details of which are found in Volume K, Chapter 12.

Telephonic communication is required to power station on-site locations and to remote locations. It is present CEGB policy to satisfy these requirements by providing two separate automatic telephone exchanges: a private automatic exchange (PAX) and a private automatic branch exchange (PABX), which have interconnecting circuits. A small number of direct telephone- lines to the PSTN are also provided which are inde pendent of the station exchanges.

1.2.6 Audible warning system

An audible warning, to inform all power station personnel of an emergency, is provided by operating sirens in either the discrete area(s) of the power station affected or in all areas of the power station. The opera- [i on of the sirens is controlled from the power station control room and 'or the security gatehouse.

1.3 Special requirements for nuclear and pumped-storage power stations

Nuclear and pumped-storage power stations need special telecommunication facilities not found in conventional fossil-fuelled stations.

1.3.1 Nuclear power stations

Safety and emergency conditions in the reactor area require consideration of:

Safety of personnel and plant.

Control of emergency operations.

I mmediate dissemination of information to personnel during emergency conditions.

Communication with off-site nuclear incident emergency services.

Dissemination of information to the general public during a nuclear incident.

Radio communication within and into the reactor areas of the power station.

1.3.2 Pumped-storage power stations

Safety and emergency conditions in the underground areas of the power station require consideration of:

Safety of personnel and plant.

Communication with roving personnel in all areas of the underground labyrinth.

1.4Accommodation and power supplies

In fossil-fuel power stations, three telecommunications rooms are provided for diversity and security of alternative operational communication system equipment: two in the \lain Station Building, i.e., the Main Telecommunications Room (MIR) and the Auxiliary Telecommunications Room (ATR), and one in the Station Administration Building (PABX room). In nuclear power stations an ATR is provided for each reactor/turbine-generator unit.

The telecommunications requirements change during the life of a power station and adequate space is specified at the design stage to ensure that future changes and additions to equipment can be accommodated.

In accordance with present telecommunications practice, computer type flooring, i.e., removable floor squares, is provided in all three rooms for convenience of cabling and future changes of equipment. Although, generally, telecommunications equipment is becoming s maller, the quantity of equipment is increasing.

1.4.1Main telecommunications room {MTR}

The MTR has a floor area sufficient to accommodate the known and future equipment. Over-provision of space is desirable because of the inability to make accurate forecasts of future requirements which in the telecommunication field are subject to continuous change. The MTR has an adjacent battery room. A typical layout of the two rooms is shown on Fig 8.1.

The MTR has cable routes to the main cable risers and cable tunnels for access to:

The power station digital pair network.

Telecommunications cable routes to the associated 400/275 kV switching station.

Each of the two physically separated incoming BT cable routes.

Access for equipment and personnel into the \ITR is provided by a double door. A second door is used for access of personnel and as an emergency exit. Consideration is required of the access and equipment handling facilities available on the route to the NITR double door within the station.

The environmental conditions of dust and humidity must not at the present time be less than those applicable to the Central Control Room (CCR), as specified in Specification CEGB-EES (1980), Clause 2.2, Table 1, Class B3.

The temperature of the room should be maintained within the limits of + 5 ° C to + 40°C, allowing for a maximum heat dissipation of 10 kW from the equipment in the MTR.

With modern SPC exchanges, air conditioning is provided for the MTR to give Class A conditions, i.e.:

Temperature limits of + 18 to + 27 ° C.

Relative humidity limits of 35 to 75%.

SPC exchanges which have been approved to the requirements of the CEGB General Specification for Electronic Equipment (CEGB-EES 1980), will continue to operate within Class B temperature and humidity li mits but with the possible reduction in equipment ti ming and other minor variations in the manufacturer's

specified equipment operational limits.

-

To supply the MIR and the associated telecommuni cation battery charging requirements, two alternative

7.5 kW, three-phase, 415 V AC supplies are required

-

to feed two 6-way, three-phase and neutral distribu tion boards complying with CEGB Category 2 safety

For a modern power station this would include two batteries of approximately 400 Ah each. The arrangement complies with CEGB Transmission Plant Standards. A simplified block diagram of the system is shown in Fig 8.2. The two batteries and chargers are operated in parallel. Failure of one battery or one charger will not cause a complete failure of the system. Each charger has sufficient output to meet the total battery load. The two paralleled batteries are capable of supporting the load for approximately 12 hours.

The arrangement enables one battery and charger to be disconnected from the load for off-load boost charging. During boost charging the standby capacity of the system is halved, e.g., it is approximately 6 hours.

The 48 V positive poles of the batteries are earthed at one point, usually at the distribution board via an isolating link. An earth cable is run between the distribution board and the power station's control and instrumentation (C and I) earth. The C and I earth is also used for the cable screen earths associated with the power station multipair cable distribution system.

If recombination cell batteries are used, the 48 V DC power supply equipment is provided for each individual telecommunications equipment. A power equipment rack (PER) comprising modular rectifiers and

.48 V battery units is provided ensuite with its associated telecommunications system. Each modular battery h as a capacity of approximately 100 Ah. A number or rectifier/battery modules are connected in parallel to provide the required standby capacity, e.g., 12 hours for a PAX, DWTS or AWS and 7 hours for a PABX. The advantages/disadvantages of recombination cells are described in Section 1.4.4 of this chapter.

1.4.2 Auxiliary telecommunications room (AIR)

The AIR is remote from the NrITR and provides accommodation for telecommunications equipment associated with each turbine-generator unit, whereas the MTR provides accommodation for non-unitised telecommunications equipment. In the event of a fire in the MTR, the telecommunications in the ATR will be unaffected and vice versa. Nuclear stations have one ATR per turbine-generator unit to provide further separation and the enhanced security which arises from dispersed and diversified systems. With the exception of the unit MCTJS which uses the station multipair cable system, the ATR equipment uses dedicated cable systems.

The ATR is dimensioned to accommodate the following telecommunications equipment:

Where there is a requirement at a nuclear power station for seismically qualified DWTSs, then the central DWTS equipment must be seismically qualified and located in a seismically qualified room. The AIR battery which provides power for the DWTS and the other telecommunication equipment in the ATR must also be seismically qualified.

Figure 8.3 shows the floor plan of one of the two ATRs for a two-unit nuclear power station, where seismic qualification of the DWTS is required. Where seismic qualification is not required, the DWTS equip- - ment is located in the same room as the other telecom munication equipment.

A TR 48 V DC power supplies

 

 

If Plante batteries are used, the 48 V power supply equipment comprises: a single charger, a battery and a single distribution board. The power supply system has sufficient electrical capacity to supply the known and predicted 48 V DC requirements of the ATR. For a modern power station the battery would be of the order of Itto .1h. The arrangement complies with CEGB Transmission Plant Standards. A simplified block diagram of the system is shown in Fig 8,4,

The earthing arrangement is similar to that described or the NITR 48 V power supplies.

If recombination cell batteries are used, the rectifiers and batteries are provided and sized to suit the associated telecommunications system as explained for the 14TR.

1.4.3 PABX room

The PABX room and the associated battery room (when required) are located in the power station administration building. The rooms should have sufficient floor area to accommodate the known present and future equipment requirements.

The PABX room accommodates the PABX, battery charger, 48 V distribution rack or power equipment racks (PERs), cable distribution and isolation frames, maintenance terminal and miscellaneous furniture.

When the battery comprises lead acid Plante cells, a battery room is provided to accommodate the 48 V DC battery and battery maintenance equipment.

The cable distribution frames located in the PABX room include the Network Operator's Distribution Frame (NODF), the User Distribution Frame (UDF) and the Test Jack Frame (TJF).

The NODF is the termination point for the network operator's off-site cable connections.

The UDF is the termination point for the on-site PABX telephone cable system.

The TJF is the termination point for the PABX cables and interconnections between the PABX, the NODF and the UDF.

All three distribution frames have a jumper wire system to enable the flexible interconnections to be made.

The cables terminating on the UDF include cables to: the floor distribution points (FDPs) in the station administration building; the local distribution boxes; the locally sited line jack units (LJUs) for telephones; the PABX swjtchboard(s) in the reception area of the station administration building; the MTR in the station control building and the supervisor's desk in the CCR.

In the case of 'hot' sites, i.e., sites which have poor earthing systems allowing the earth point potential to rise during high voltage (HV) to earth faults, an isolation frame is inserted between the NODF and the cables connected to the off-site network operator's cable distribution system. This is unnecessary for sites served solely by fibre-optic cables. The isolation frame can

be free-standing or wallmounted and accommodates cable pair isolating links and isolation transformers. Alternatively, the links and transformers can be provided as separate wall-mounted units.

The definition of a 'hot' site is given in Engineering Recommendation S5/1 Section 6.1. From the Recommendation it can be seen that isolation equipment is necessary if the earth potential rise is greater than 430 V RMS for systems protected by overcurrent protection and 650 V on 'high reliability systems', i.e., systems having high speed protection.

Typical wall-mounted isolation units are described in Section 2.5 of this chapter.

The PABX room is also used as the marshalling and terminating point for cables connected to station telecommunication services, access to which is required within the station administration building, e.g., the station public address system, the station radio paging system and the PAX telephone system.

The environmental conditions in the PABX room should be similar to those of the MTR to provide the correct environment for the PABX.

A reliable AC power supply is required into the PABX room to provide power for the PABX battery charger and other telecommunication equipment. An AC power supply is also required for wall-mounted sockets in the PABX room for portable test equipment, the PABX interrogating and programming terminal and portable cleaning equipment.

A low resistance connection is provided to the AC power supply earth located as near as possible to the

power supply cable entry to the Administration Build- ing. This earth connection is extended to the PABX

positive connection of the 48 V DC battery or to the
