cardoctor:
Too bad.

It seem that your mechanics were quick to remove the drive shafts without alowing the gearbox to cool down properly.

Once the drive shafts are removed, cool air passes through the gearbox when the gearbox is still hot. The valve body and other internal components are supercooled causing the solenoids and valves to constrict in their cylinders which would result in stuck movements or lack of adequate pressure to facilitate smooth gear changes.

You may have to replace the valve body.

Car doctor.

Thanks for your prompt response. Yes they must have been too quick to remove it. Please do you know any good mechanics in Abuja i can go to, preferably a gear specialist, because they are suggesting i change to the 10pin gear. i do not want to do this i need a more experienced professional. And do you know any reliable auto part dealer in Abuja where i could get this valve body. Thanks in advance

is it still avaliable

Kashif:
The OP is not expecting the same result from 10pin as 13pin. He has emphasised his desire to get 13pin as soon as economics favours him. He is only scared the 10pin could ruin his engine or maybe, drive train before this happens. The answer is no.

Concerns should be how the ECU interprets control signals and drives the transmission control transducers. If you have a technical prognosis, please share.

Hey Kashif, car doctor, usAutobuy et al thanks for all your insight on this thread I hope you advise me on my own issues. I have read all previous conversations but I think my problem is slightly different.
My car is a 2005 camry I4, VVTi engine U250 transmission.
I recently replaced the shaft due to the unbearable shaking. I drove the car back to my house which is about 34km from the workshop without issues. Then in my neighborhood I stopped to buy some stuff and started my car shifted to drive I noticed it stalled to engage. Then I drove awhile it revved and then engaged gear 2, to engage gear 3 it revved the engine again to engage. I carefully drove it home. The next morning I tried to drive the car it repeated the same issues of the previous day, then I noticed it doesn’t downshift when I slowed down I have to engage park and then come back to drive. I also noticed engaging reverse there is a jerk which wasn’t the case previously. The next point when I engage drive no traction at all. The gear only moves when I engage reverse. I have taken it to a gear specialist who serviced the valve body but the issue is still there. We changed the oil I always use the recommended Toyota T4. The issue is still present. Please can I get advice on the next step to take. I stay in ABUJA.

ATTENTION NIGERIAN POWER INDUSTRY. EQUIPMENT LIFE EXTENSION, MODERNIZATION, AND RETROFITTING

I. INTRODUCTION
Much of the power system equipment in use today is nearing or has passed its predicted operating life, and we are pushing equipment to increasingly higher levels to meet demands. Injuries, failed equipment, unscheduled downtime, and loss of that require knowledge of in-service power system apparatus. competitiveness of the electrical energy market. The substation primary equipment is considered a major differentiating factor in the quality of power delivered by utilities. The reduction of faults and defects that cause interruptions in the supply of electrical energy significantly improves service performance rates.

The only way to truly know the actual health, performance, and history of apparatus is to observe them in service. Condition-based maintenance and developed with decision-making information collected from present state and the history of the primary equipment. It is essential that we enhance, automate, and reduce the cost of collecting and acting on this decision-making information.

To achieve this objective, more efficient and intelligent maintenance practices are required and material, human and financial resources must be invested correctly. The rules and requirements of the modern market no longer permit numerous corrective maintenance procedures or periodic maintentance practices.

A substation autommation system (SAS) is the collection of protection, control, and monitoring (PCM) intelligent electronic devices (IED’s) that compromise a system that monitors, controls and protects the power system. Innovative PCM IED developments have created new ways of collecting and reacting to data and using these data to create information. When communications to and among the IED’s allow real-time data collection, the SAS is capable of supporting all aspects of electric power protection, automation, control, monitoring and analysis. Using PCM IED’s as the source of information to understand the health and performance of substation apparatus makes the implementation of a monitoring system economical and technically attractive.



FEATURE



II. ASSET MANAGEMENT PARAMETERS
The concepts of health, availability and reliability, and performance (HARP) are familiar terms within today’s utility. Many companies strive to achieve reduced expenses, 100 percent reliability, increased performance, and, through reliability-centered maintenance practices, better system health. When applied, reliability-centered maintenance practices move the utility from reactive to preventative maintenance and, with better data collection, from preventative to predictive maintenance. Reduced expenses, improved performance, improved reliability, or improved health each individually promises reduced costs and increased customer satisfaction. However, we must not overlook the dynamic and economic impact of one on the other and thereby undercapitalize on short- and long-term profit opportunities.



A. DEFINITION OF HARP TERMS

1) Health
Health is the measure of the fitness of an apparatus to perform its intended function. Apparatus health becomes a variable that can be manipulated to improve return on investment.

2) Availability and Reliability
A failure exists any time that the power system is unable to perform its intended purpose, which is to generate revenue by constantly providing quality power to consumers. Reliability is the measure of the percentage of time (out of the required 24 hours a day, seven days a week) that the power system or apparatus is available to perform its intended function. Reliability is expressed as a percentage of the total possible availability. Using reliability information, we can change procedures and designs to create more available systems and predict the expense of dealing with unscheduled repairs. The knowledge of the availability of apparatus and devices helps prioritize maintenance and replacement schedules to optimize use of resources.

3) Performance
The performance of a system or device is the comparison of its actual operation to ideal operating parameters. Performance is a value that represents the effectiveness of the power system or apparatus in service. Effectiveness can also be manipulated to improve revenue, customer satisfaction, and, eventually, return on investment. Actual performance is expressed as a percentage of optimal performance.

4) Net Installed Value
Net installed value (NIV) is the present value of an in-service asset. NIV is the aggregate of expenses and the HARP variables. Actual NIV is expressed as a percentage of the optimal NIV. Predicted NIV is a prediction of the result of manipulating the HARP variables and understanding their effect on one another.

5) Net Revenue
Net revenue (NR) is defined as the total customer billings minus annual expenses (scheduled and unscheduled). Future considerations related to net revenue include intangible costs, such as cost to customer, customer satisfaction, and litigation. Many utilities have not calculated these intangible costs, but those that do can factor them in.

6) Net Potential Revenue
Net potential revenue (NPR) is the sum of the following
variables:
• U nserved is the loss in profit because of an outage and/or real load that could be served if a breaker, transformer, or wire is under capacity.
• G rowth is future or planned unused capacity. It might be more cost-effective in the long term to invest in new equipment or overload existing equipment than to minimize cost and underserve present and future demand.
• R educed operations and maintenance cost is the potential to reduce costs (thereby increasing revenue) through life extension of apparatus and targeted replacement of obsolete and poorly performing equipment with newer, more efficient equipment or through modified maintenance practices. Typically, operations and maintenance costs are predicted, but with real-time and historical operating data, these costs are measured and dramatically improved.

Looking at the overall HARP NIV for an existing breaker versus the HARP NIV of a new breaker with the fiscal economic backdrop of net revenue and net potential revenue, the result of the evaluation might be:

(NIV existing breaker + [NPR – NR]) < (NIV new breaker + [NPR – NR])

In order to enhance the performance of existing systems and new designs, electric utilities must fully understand the current state of the power system as well as predict future capabilities and system expansion to increase reliability and performance. Increased global competition, deregulation, availability demands, and pricing pressures are forcing the electric utility industry to reduce operation costs while increasing reliability. Utilities often need to push equipment to higher loading levels to meet demands.



B. PCM IED MONITORING FUNCTIONS

The IEds used in the digitalization of distribution substations include protection, automation, control, and communications functionalities. They also collect and create important analytical data by monitoring the devices and the surroundings that the IEds protect. This information is used to calculate the HARP variables. Each main device of a substation has at least one associated IEd receiving voltage, current, status, and other signals that are used to make precise diagnoses in real time. because IEds are connected to the dc system of a substation, they also provide important information for the monitoring and diagnosis of the substation dc battery system. In this way, the information available in an IEd is used to monitor disconnect switches, power transformers, dc battery systems, and circuit breakers. The maintenance of circuit breakers, for example, is usually based on regular time intervals or the number of operations performed. The methods based on this philosophy present drawbacks because within the predetermined maintenance interval, there could be an abnormal number of operations or a small number of operations with high-level currents.

The IEDs monitor the following:
Contact Wear
The circuit breaker manufacturer provides a maintenance curve listing the number of close-to-open operations and the interruption current levels. The function of this curve is to predict the breaker contact wear, as the example shows in Figure 1. It is possible to configure some of the points of this curve, where normally the highest and lowest number of operations and an average point are chosen. For each operation, the IEd integrates the interrupted current with the operation number to update the contact wear value. This parameter is crucial to estimate the need for maintenance.

Total Number of Operations
Incremental counters for close-to-open operations are implemented to make that information available to the system history.

Mechanical Operating Time
The mechanical operating time of the circuit breaker can be calculated by measuring the time interval between the trip command or the close command and the asserting of the digital inputs of the IEd connected to the circuit breaker status contacts. deviations in this value may indicate problems in the drive mechanism.

Electrical Operating Time
Similar to the mechanical operating time, this measures the time interval between the trip or the close command and the clearing or normalization of current measurements in the circuit breaker. If this parameter tends to increase over time, it could indicate failures in the contacts.

Inactivity Time
by monitoring the activity of the number of operations, it is possible to calculate the number of days in which the breaker has been inactive. long periods of inactivity degrade its reliability for the protection system.

Spring-Loading Time
just after the circuit breaker closes, the time to assert the digital inputs of the IEd connected to the breaker loaded spring contact is measured. If this time increases as the number of operations increases, it may predict a problem in the springloading
mechanism.

Figure 1: circuit breaker maintenance curve
The monitoring functions presented here are performed with traditional protection potential transformers (PTs) and current transformers (CTs). No additional stand-alone sensor is necessary for the equipment monitoring system, as shown in the basic connection diagram in Figure 2.

An example of the knowledge of the health and performance of a breaker, calculated by a PCM IED and documented as a breaker monitoring report retrieved from that IED, is shown in Figure 3.

III. ADD SUBSTATION MONITORING SYSTEM TO YOUR SUBSTATION AUTOMATION SYSTEM
Investments in substation monitoring systems are essential fpr creatins reliable predictive maintenance; however, stand-alone systems are complicated and expensive and are only viable for large substations, even though they are becoming essential for smaller distribution substations. A substation monitoring system (SMS) can use the information supplied by IED’s and take advantage of communication network structures already in place or provided for by the substation SAS. The same IED’s used for command, measurement, protection, and control form the basis of the system. They are more rugged and dependable than other monitoring devices such as sensorts or programmable logic controllers. They create information and send it to the maintenance server which in turn performs calculations and feeds the database. These functions are executed because the IED’s are coupled with the main equipment via CT’s, PT’s, resistance temparature detectors, and so on.

Using an in-service SAS system enables the building of an economically viable SMS that is developed by using the network structure and data provided while maintaining the same reliability, regardless of the size of the facility. Figure 4 illustrates the basic structure for an SMS as part of the SAS.

4

Figure 4: Basic data structure of SMS
A variety of communications ports and protocols allows a broad application of hardware and easy integration with any communications system existing in the substation. Fig. 5 shows the local maintenance server containing the integrated SMS without any change in the communications network.

5

Figure 5: Example of SMS integrated in the substation

The engineers and those responsible for the maintenance of this equipment access the information locally on the maintenance server or remotely through the web via intranet or Internet. Considering the access through the maintenance center, the installation of additional software is not necessary because the SMS is created independently of the operational system. A modern SMS uses Ethernet network communications and is in compliance with the IEC 61850 standard. It also adapts to substations that are not in compliance with the standard because of the flexibility and multiprotocol structure existing in the system.

IV. ESSENTIAL INFORMATION TO CHOOSE LIFE EXTENSION OR REPLACEMENT
Consider the typical substation illustrated in the one-line diagram shown in Fig. 6.

The monitored health and performance parameters necessary to decide between life extension or replacement of the power system equipment from Figure 6 are shown in Table I.

Conclusions
Monitoring systems are essential tools that allow distribution companies to increasingly modernize maintenance techniques and migrate to intelligent and optimized predictive maintenance. Investments that are made in the acquisition of substation equipment monitoring systems add additional costs to maintenance and operation, so the minimization of these costs is a huge challenge.

The SMS is a low-cost solution for the implementation of communications infrastructure in substations using IEC 61850 protocols, where Ethernet cabling already exists, enabling its application in substations of any size and voltage level.

A cost analysis shows that the investment to add an SMS to an SAS network to modernize maintenance practices amounts to a small incremental cost of 10 to 15 percent of the initial cost of digitalization of a small distribution substation. For a larger and more complex substation, the investment to implement the SMS is an even smaller incremental cost.

Adding the SMS technology to an in-service SAS system is an incrementally small investment that provides a wealth of information about the power system. when used to calculate hArP variables, this information enables informed decisions about life extension or replacement of in-service primary equipment.

Transformer Life Assessment

All transformers require maintenance and repairs to ensure that they are functioning up to industry and manufacturer’s standards. The likelihood of repairs and maintenance increases as the transformer ages and becomes more susceptible to wear and tear. TPS’s goal when dealing with transformers is to ensure safe and reliable transformer operations by tackling maintenance and repair problems at its core. We do not simply fix the symptoms, we try to address the causes with state of the art testing equipment and NETA certified Technicians and Engineers. Every industrial company possesses large power transformers; some even possess transformers that date back over half a century. If you feel as though it’s time for maintenance and repairs for preventative measures or to fix an existing problem, TPS is the company for you.

TPS’s transformer evaluations and analysis include the following services:

On Site inspection of transformers
NETA standardized testing for the transformers
PE (professional engineers) to oversee all work done
Trained personnel that are OSHA and ARC Flash certified
Analysis of test results and contrast with previous data recorded for that particular transformer for any distortions
Diagnostics testing for insulation and oil systems
Oil testing and analysis of transformers that have oil
Brief Description of Transformer Tests Performed based on NETA Guidelines:

Impedance Testing
Turns Ration Testing
Current Testing at Terminals
Input and Output Potentials
Dielectric Oil Test
Power Factor Testing
Oil Sampling and Analysis
Types of Transformer Tests

The purpose of a transformer Ratio Test is to specify the specific voltage at the LV (low voltage) terminal and the HV (high voltage) terminal in order to calculate the number of turns within the coils of the transformer.

Make sure that the tap change for the transformer is at the lowest setting and that the low voltage terminals are open
3 phase 415 V should then be applied across the high voltage terminals
Measure the voltages across each phase on HV and the induced voltage at LV at the concurrently
Raise the tap changer of the transformer and repeat the measuring process in steps 1-3Dielectric Tests: For the test, higher voltage is induced across the transformer to ensure that the transformer can handle the potential difference. The purpose of a dielectric test is to ensure that the transformer and insulation structure are functioning at manufacture standards even when a larger potential difference is induced.

Hypot Test: The purpose of the hypot test is to ensure that leads and ground clearances for insulation structures are up to standard. Tests are specified based on ANSI and usually done in one minute intervals (visit our hypot test site for more information)

Induced Voltage Test: Purpose of the induced voltage test is to find variations in test frequencies.

Sound LEVEL TEST: Under OSHA standards, employees cannot be exposed to sounds than 90 decibels without proper PPE. Sound level for transformers are recorded at various heights around the transformer. Low levels of noise in the background are necessary to ensure accurate measurements.

Temperature Rise Tests: Temperature Rise Tests are used to determine the amount of time needed for a transformer to cool and is done to ensure safety for employees working with transformers

This page gives very brief details about transformer tests. For more information, refer to the NETA Standards for Transformer Testing or contact ITI.

Transformer Oil Testing and Oil Analysis

As a result of high operational temperatures, chemical interactions within the windings, and interactions with solid contaminants, the original properties of the oil in transformer changes gradually as the transformer ages. The result of these interactions can be costly and hazardous for transformer itself and the substation that it’s connected to. The oil needs to be systematically tested and maintained to ensure the highest quality standards are met.

Oil Testing Packages Offered

Oil testing packages offered at TPS include Fault Determination, Routine Tests, Transformer Signature, and Pre-Commissioning

Fault Determination Test Packages serve to specify and determine damages and problems with transformers. The oil tests include dissolved gas analysis, water content, contaminants in oil, and Furan content.

Routine Test Packages are a preventative measure used to maintain the health of the transformer. Thorough and scheduled maintenance helps prevent degradation of transformers and ensures proper operation. These tests include dissolved gas analysis that come from the transformer oils, furan content, resistivity and acidity tests, flash point Tests, sludge, and dielectric tests.

Transformer Signature Packages help identify the time-zero condition for each specific transformer. These tests include but are not limited to water content tests, furan contents test, Power Factor at 90 °C and 27 °C.

Pre Commissioning Packages are meant to ensure that new transformers are up to standard before they are installed into your particular power system. The recommended tests in this package are DGA (dissolved gas analysis), water content, oil contaminants, Furan Content, and Power Factor at 90 °C and 27 °C.
