Today we have another assembly. En. Zaini Raya ( Pengurus Kawasan ) and En. Mohmad ( Jurutera Kanan Pembinaan dan Servis ) was also here this morning. The assembly is regarding the technical sports ( sukan teknikal) that will be organized by TNB Pasir Gudang this year but will be held at yard Kempas, Johor Bahru. The assembly is to announce the lists of participants that will participate in technical sports later on Thursday.

After that, we have a shut down project at P/E Taman Kenanga No.2 and No.3 for preventive works.


Preventive Procedure

1. The monthly shutdown schedule was prepared and submit to RCC ( regional control center ) two month before.

2. Submit the actual shutdown schedule to RCC a month before.

3. After getting an approval from RCC, they will key in the data in online shutdown management system to print out the notices for consumer.

4. Sent the notice to consumer to let them know there will be no electricity supply during this time.

5.The authorized person (AP) will request a permission from controller for the shutdown process.

6.RCC will issue authorization to AP.

7. For safety , AP will issue a SKMK ( Sijil Kebenaran Melakukan Kerja ) or PTW ( Permit To Work ) to CP.

8. Started the preventive works.

9. CP ( competence person) will canceled the PTW and submitted to AP.

10. AP will canceled the Autorization that given by RCC.

11.Start switching again

12. After everything was back to normal ( electric supply was back again ) informed RCC.









first step to do before clean and check the RMU / switchgear, earth the cable. this is for safety purposes.






































if the white color change to red, that means the Tx ( transformer) was not in good condition because have air inside the Tx.



















the red things inside the OLU is bushing. three phase, red yellow blue.






























there a a few types of switchgear:

1. Long and Crowford (oil)
2.VEI
3.Tamco (oil)
4.Rellroll (oil)
5.Siemen
6.Merlin Gerin
7.Lucy
8.FMG
9.Falcon Beta






















Tx birth certificate :)

DYN 11 means Delta Star Neutral. 11 means Voltage more than current. ( current lagging ).



















tap changer (load)

Two types :
1. offload tap changer ( have to turn off the supply before change it manualy ) 2. Onload tap changer ( automatically changed. this is for Power transformer)



















There are 2 types of Tx: 1.Hermetical seal transformer ( from the pic left) 2. Conservative tank transformer


























current transformer






















this is for load record. when there is load, the black needle will push up the red needle. when there is no load, the black one (current load) will back to its original position but the red one( maximum load) will stay at its place.





























Right angle bushing ( for HFU )


















Inline bushing ( for OLU )

Today after the morning briefing by En. Norakmal, i accompanied SAVR team to one big project that include many people at Kampung Bakar Batu. The project is to cut the electricity supply for a few houses that does not have land grant which owned by mostly Indonesian. The government want to demolish the houses regarding to a highway project or to create a new route. I am not sure about this. This is quite sad because they are poor but we (TNB) have to do our job. We cut the electricity supply after the houses was comfirmed to be demolished.Today they will demolished only eight houses. However, government is not the one to be blame because they got the notice to clear the house since last year and again the government send them a new notices 3 month before they demolished the houses.



















there was a lot of people. RELA, Police, MPJB and also the villagers.










































cut the electricity supply




















cut the overhead cable to the houses.

After morning briefing, i accompanied En. Zul and En. Wan, both of them is street lighting's technician to to their job. They actually in a standby mode which they have to finish the job ( on the spot ) that the consumer asked to or if anything bad happened that involved consumer's right regardless of time.

En. Wan taught me a lots.

There was a few types of light:

1.400w ( highway or federal )
2.150w ( main road )
3.100w/70w ( lanes , 70w is old light system for lanes)

there is a few system for street lighting:
1. Panel controlled -MPJB
- MPJBT
2. Owner - at their house. there will be charge - RM10 ( 150w )
- RM 7 ( 70w )
3. KPLB ( kemajuan pembangunan luar bandar ) - kampung
4.LJK ( Lampu Jalan Kampung )

both KPLB and LJK was paid by government.

there is two type of street lighting pole. one is galvanised and the other one is spun concrete pole. If you see the galvanised pole, that one is not tnb's street lighting pole. That one was maintained by JKR or MPJB.

The distance between street lighting pole and another was 25 meter. The height was 9 meter. is the higher than overhead cable which was 7.5 meter ( SAVR ) .

There is a few brand for street lighting (TNB) :
1. Muarlite
2. Permintex
3.Amat Sinar (known as ASL)


After that, we went to Taman Tun Aminah to see the traffic light that have problems. TNB is not in charge for traffic light but TNB is giving them a supply. Since the traffic light is not working so there must be a problems regarding the supply.

after checking the current and everything was okey at the panel, mybe there was something wrong with the IPC. So they change the IPC and everything turns to be normal again. Sometimes the IPC is broken or loose until not touching the cabel.

Today is my seventh week of practical training. I was under Street Lighting's team starting from today. It was very interesting when you will be learning about street lighting where before this you do not think about it at all. I report duty to En. Shafei'e Harun. There was 7 team of street lighting unit.


this is the street light

























choke














The street light have three types:
1. 100w
2.150w ( bigger bulb )
3.70w


Nowadays, most of the street light using photocell to manage the lights. A photocell is a type of resistor. When light strikes the cell, it allows current to flow more freely. When dark, its resistance increases dramatically. Photocells need some calibration to be responsive in the exact lighting scenario you have. They can be used to detect large or small fluctuations in light levels to distinguish between one light bulb and two, direct sunlight and total darkness, or anything in
between.





the photocell was placed at the panel, pole or sometimes at the bracket itself































the component inside the light is:
1. choke ( no neutral )
2.capacitor / lighter / starter ( have neutral )



























The component that often broken or damaged is the lighter. The choke was rarely broken. The damage was usually caused by lightning. But when it was strike by lightning not only the lighter was broken but other component such as bulb also will be damaged. The IPC for street lighting also always damaged.

The wire that we have been used for street lighting is 185/95mmp.



this is the panel.



















































this is the street lighting panel























monkey box ( peti monyet) because it was hanging on the pole.


































The cutout always broken or burning and will be melting, so nowadays they replace the cutout with black box since black box ( 160A ) is more durable.the fuse for the black box is 125A.
