INTRODUCTION

 

The purpose of this publication is to improve the reliability and safety of electrical installations by improving one of the basic (basic) technical regulations of the industry. Electrical installation rules (EEUs) determine the structure, principles of installation, specific requirements for individual systems, their elements, units and communications of electrical installations. The PSE sets the requirements for general purpose AC installations up to 750 kV and DC up to 1.5 kV. The new version of PUE takes into account the requirements of national standards, building codes, industry regulations and other documents related to the subject of PUE regulation. The provisions of the PUE are applied in the design of new construction, reconstruction, technical re-equipment or major overhaul of electrical installations.

The EWS consists of separate sections, divided into chapters, which regulate specific issues of electrical installation.

The history of creation, improvement and reissue of PUE dates back over 100 years. Thus, under the auspices of the Imperial Russian Technical Society, in 1907, an edition of "Rules and Regulations for Electrotechnical Devices of High Current" was published, in the preface to which: "This compilation is a complete translation of the Rules of the Union of German Electrical Engineers, published before 1907."

All subsequent editions of the PUE were prepared very carefully by specialized organizations, commissions and individual experts. The high quality of preparation, for example, of the sixth edition of PUE (M .: Energoatomizdat, 1986, 648 pp.), Is evidenced by the fact that this publication has not been revised for almost 20 years and during this time has not lost popularity among engineers and officials. This edition is the basis for the gradual (phased) revision organized by the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine in 2004 and completed in 2016.

The complex of works on the revision of the PUE in the first stages was carried out by the Ukrsillenergoproekt Institute together with its co-contractors in accordance with the agreements with the Energy Enterprises Association “Industry Reserve and Investment Fund for Energy Development (GIFRE”) and the Ministry of Energy of Ukraine.

The final stage of the revision (2014-2016) was carried out by the Separate Unit of the State Enterprise "National Energy Company" Ukrenergo "- Scientific and Design Center for the Development of the United Energy System of Ukraine.

About 50 organizations and educational institutions of Ukraine were involved in the review of the PUE: specialized institutes "Ukrenergomerezhproekt", "Ukrproektstalrekonstruktsiya", "Kievpromelektroproekt", "High Voltage Research Institute", LvivORGRES, "Lightning", "Kievproekt" Institute of Ukraine - renewable energy, electrodynamics, Ukrainian; National Universities NUBiP, KPI, KPI, Lviv Polytechnic, Poltava Technical, Chernihiv Technological, DonNABA, Association Yuzhkabel, Tavrida Electric Ukraine, Watson Telecom, Aselenergo, Synaps, Selcom Electronics, Electrosphere; Derzhgirpromnadzor, OJSC GRIFRE, SE NPP Ukrenergo, All-Ukrainian Energy Committee, Ukreneroconsulting, NJSC EKU, NNEGC Energoatom, Kharkivoblenergo, Substation 750 kV KyivskayaEnergy Center ", Kyiv Regional Scientific and Technical Union of Energy Workers," Fort Publishing House. The texts of all revised chapters are harmonized with the standards of the International Electrotechnical Commission, adapted to the climatic conditions of Ukraine, supplemented by the achievements of scientific and technological progress, the requirements for obsolete equipment are removed, legal and legal provisions are also removed, the chapters concerning special electrical installations are removed.

In the course of the revision of the PUE, new chapters were published for broad discussion by the engineering community, with almost a thousand comments and suggestions received. All revised chapters have been approved by the Ministry of Regional Development of Ukraine and approved in due course.

The next revision of the PUE is expected after 2020.

Comments and suggestions for improvement of the PUE should be sent to the Department of Electric Power Complex of the Ministry of Energy and Coal of Ukraine.

CATEGORIES OF ELECTRIC POWER RECEIVERS AND ENSURING THE RELIABILITY OF ELECTRICITY

 

1.2.17 Electricity generators are divided into the following three categories:

Category I electric appliances are electric power interrupts that can cause interruption: danger to human life, significant material damage to electricity consumers (damage to expensive basic equipment, mass shortage of products), disruption of a complex technological process, impaired functioning of particularly important elements of the utility.

In the category I electric motors there is a special group of electric motors, the uninterrupted operation of which is necessary for an uninterrupted stop of production in order to prevent the threat of human life, explosions, fires and damage to high-value basic equipment, loss of important information.

Category II electric receivers - power cutters whose power outage leads to mass production outages, mass downtime for workers, machinery and industrial transport, disruption of the normal activities of a large number of urban and rural residents.

Category III electric receivers are the rest of the electric receivers that do not fall under the definition of categories I and II.

The reliability categories of power supply are determined depending on the technology of the main production of the consumer of electricity according to the requirements of DBN B.2.5-23: 2010 “Designing of electrical equipment of civil objects”.

Finally, the reliability categories are agreed by the customer of the project of electricity supply to the consumer from external sources of electricity.

1.2.18 Category I electric power generators shall be provided with electricity from two independent interconnecting power sources and interruption of their power supply in the event of a power failure from one of the power sources shall be allowed only for the time of automatic power-up.

Switching of the power supply should be carried out in the shortest possible time and if possible do not change the mode of operation of the consumer equipment.

For the supply of a special group of electric receivers of the first category, additional power from the third independent interconnecting power supply should be provided.

As a third independent power source for a specific group of electric receivers and as a second independent power source for the rest of the first category electric receivers, local power plants, power plants of the power systems (in particular, generator voltage buses), special uninterruptible power units, rechargeable batteries, etc. can be used. If the redundancy of the power supply cannot provide the necessary continuity of the technological process, or if the redundancy of the power supply is economically impractical, then the technological redundancy is ensured, for example, by installing inter-redundant technological units, special devices of an emergency stop of the technological process, which operate in case of power failure.

 

Supply of electric receivers of the first category with a particularly complex continuous technological process, which requires a long time for restoration of the operating mode, in the presence of technical and economic justification, it is recommended to carry out from two independent interconnecting power sources, to which additional requirements are determined, which are determined by the peculiarities of the technological process.

1.2.19 Category II electric motors shall be provided with electricity from two independent interconnecting power supplies.

For category II electric power generators, in the event of a power failure from one of the power sources, the interruption of the power supply is acceptable for the time required to enable backup power by the actions of regular personnel or the visiting operational crew.

1.2.20 For Category III electric appliances, power may be supplied from one power source, provided that the interruption of power supply required to repair or replace a damaged element of the power system does not exceed one day.
