ABB provided regular power supply at the PhosAgro enterprises

2020: Implementation of BAVR on a class of voltage of 6-10 kV and digital substation of ABB

On February 20, 2020 AVV company reported that implemented deliveries to two enterprises of JSC Apatit which is included into PhosAgro group. Works were conducted in two cities: Cherepovets and Kirovsk. Ensuring regular and fault-free power supply – a fundamental problem of modern chemical productions which aim at complete self-sufficiency in the field of the electric power.

According to the company, the digital substation of AVV became a central object of delivery to the plant in the Vologda region. The complex mechanism of digital substation is based on UniGear ZS1 distributors which are completed high-speed with the transfer switch on a class of tension of 6 (10) kV and rated current 2500 A. Also cabinets are equipped with sensors of thermal control of combined buses and unsolderings of connection of the power cable, motor drives of carts of the switch and the grounding conductor with function of remote video surveillance behind these elements. Thanks to the digital solution, the enterprise had an opportunity to control own amounts of energy consumption. The collected data arrays give in to hands-off processing that allows to reach instant reaction to interruptions in a system. The automated system of monitoring and diagnostics of a status of distributors minimizes control of systems from service staff. In case of emergency prompt actions are made instantly.

Reliable power supply – the key to success and economic profitability of any enterprise. Considering production features of our customer, any failure and equipment downtime can lead to enormous losses and serious consequences. Alexander Prudnikov, the head of department told Electric equipment of AVV Russia

The plant in Kirovsk is also equipped with a set of the equipment of the high-speed transfer switch. The complex is intended for four inputs and two section cabinets. The equipment was retrofitted by a set of the retrofit and was installed in cabinets of domestic production. The total volume of delivery six VM-1T switches, four blocks of relay protection of REF 542Plus with high-speed payments and two head made devices (controller) SUE3000. High-speed the transfer switch perform fast switching between the lead-in and section switch of the distributor of 6 (10) kV, thereby providing the minimum failure (absence) of power supply. It is important not only in terms of excess idle time of a production equipment, but also is also a preventive measure of security.

As the partner of AVV in projects at the plants of JSC Apatit the Universal-Elektrik company which was the general contractor acted. "Universal-Elektrik" performed all complex of actions, including design, installation, adjustment and commissioning of the objects.

Carrying out the analysis of the performed works, it is important to consider the fact that the Universal-Elektrik company together with ABB implemented "turnkey" technical solutions which were for the first time applied at the enterprises of PhosAgro Group. Including the high-speed transfer switch and digital substations equipped with thermal control and video surveillance in power compartments of cells of KRU. Maxim Pochinok, the associate director on technical development of Universal-Elektrik company told
