Functional Description
IS200VTURH1ACB is a Turbine Specific Primary Trip Board developed by GE. It is part of the Mark VI series.It plays a pivotal role in turbine safety and operational control, particularly in managing trip solenoids and flame detection within the turbine environment. Primarily, it is responsible for driving three trip solenoids utilizing a single TRPx board. Simultaneously, it accommodates and interfaces with eight flame detectors, enhancing the turbine's safety measures by promptly detecting potential flame-related issues.
Features
- Integral to its functions, the board control over three primary overspeed trip relays situated on the TRPx terminal board. This control mechanism involves the generation of trip signals by the controller. These signals are initially routed to VTURH1 and then transmitted to the TRPx terminal board, initiating the activation of emergency solenoids. Notably, the source of the turbine overspeed trip can originate either from VTURH1 or IS215VPRO, providing redundancy and ensuring multiple fail-safe options for trip signal generation.
- Within the board, there are nine magnetic relays specifically designed to interface with the three trip solenoids, known as the electrical trip devices (ETD). This setup allows for a comprehensive interface between the control signals and the critical trip solenoids. In systems employing Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR), all nine relays are utilized to enhance redundancy and ensure fail-safe operations. However, in simplex systems, only three relays are deployed, ensuring the basic operational functionality of the trip solenoids.
- Overall, VTURH1's intricate control and interface capabilities with trip solenoids and flame detectors, coupled with its redundancy in overspeed trip signal generation, contribute significantly to the safety and reliability of turbine operations. The system's integration with TRPx and its adherence to redundancy standards ensure robust safety protocols, essential in critical turbine functionalities and emergency situations.
Installation
- Power Down the VME Processor Rack:'Begin by powering down the VME processor rack to ensure a safe installation process. This step is crucial to prevent any electrical mishaps during the installation of the board.
- Slide in the Board and Seat Edge Connectors: Carefully slide the V-Type board into the designated slot in the VME processor rack. Ensure proper alignment and gentle insertion to avoid damage. Once inserted, use your hands to push the top and bottom levers, securing the board's edge connectors firmly in place.
- Secure with Captive Screws: After properly seating the board, tighten the captive screws located at the top and bottom of the front panel. This step ensures the board's stability within the rack, preventing any dislodgment during operation.
- Cable Connections to Terminal Boards- Make cable connections to the terminal boards according to the specified connectors:
- Use the latching type connectors located at the J3 connector on the lower portion of the VME rack to secure the cables effectively.
- Connect the cable to the J5 connector on TTUR from J5 on the front panel.
- For the cable connection to TRPG, utilize the J4 connector.
- Power Up and Diagnostic Check: With the board securely installed and cables connected, power up the VME rack. Subsequently, check the diagnostic lights situated at the top of the front panel. Ensure that the diagnostic lights indicate the proper functioning of the system, verifying a successful installation.
Fast Overspeed Trip
In certain specialized scenarios demanding an accelerated overspeed trip response, the VTUR system offers Fast Overspeed Trip algorithms, designed to enhance safety measures in critical turbine operations. This feature allows the activation of faster overspeed trip mechanisms, ensuring rapid response times during specific operational conditions.
Enabling VTUR Fast Overspeed Trip Algorithms
- The Fast Overspeed Trip algorithms within the VTUR system employ a unique speed measurement algorithm calculated based on a predetermined tooth wheel.
- These algorithms offer distinct functionalities tailored to meet varying operational requirements:
PR_Single Algorithm
- The PR_Single algorithm facilitates the utilization of two redundant boards by allocating each of the two redundant PR (Pulse Rate) transducers to a separate board. This configuration ensures redundancy and reliability in overspeed trip functionalities.
- It stands out as the preferred algorithm, particularly well-suited for LM (Land and Marine) gas turbines, providing enhanced safety and redundancy in critical overspeed protection.
PR_Max Algorithm
- Contrarily, the PR_Max algorithm operates using a single VTUR connected to the two redundant PR transducers. This setup allows for comprehensive functionality, offering protection mechanisms against scenarios such as broken shaft incidents and deceleration, all while mitigating the risk of a nuisance trip in case one of the transducers malfunctions or is lost. PR_Max algorithm implementation ensures a balance between robust protection and minimizing the potential for false alarms or nuisance trips, enhancing operational stability.
