Week #12

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

During Monday (28/6/2010); I planned to make some adjustment to my assignment project; particularly about “the Standard of procedure (SOP) for Maintenance OLTC work”. I wanted to add some useful information and cases related to title before/mid/after writing the standard of procedure. In fact, the title (OLTC) was huge and the SOP had to be described in short steps with using simple language. Therefore; I’d made those ideas. I hoped that it was fine ^^;

During Wednesday (28/6/2010); I was being notified that this Friday (2/7/2010) shall be no meeting for the trainees’ student. It was postponed to the next Friday (9/7/2010). The meeting was aiming to congratulate the trainees’ student for their completion of the industrial training and they shall be given acknowledgment and certification for that.

During Thursday (1/7/2010); I finally finalized everything in my industrial Training logbook and I checked about the last written information. What I needed only was; to meet my host supervisor and get approval for my logbook. I’d also made my draft about “the Standard of procedure (SOP) for Vanguard Tripping Tool”. This part was only to write how to use the DIGITMR step by step to perform the Tripping work and analyze the circuit breaker. My draft was about to give some safety guideness about the device. Then, prepare some documentation related to the electrical station to upload the station data into the DIGITMR device. After that; begin function the device and obtain the result interpretation.

In addition, I met my host supervisor and I discussed with him about an appointment that he could check the last part of my industrial Training logbook and got approval and signature for that. My host supervisor suggested me to see him during Friday (2/7/2010) at 10:00am.

During Friday (2&9/7/2010); this day was my final day for training in TNBD PjCj. There was ceremony for giving the trainee student a Certificate for Completion Their Training for three month. I was very happy for my achievement and I was glad to have my last breakfast together with TNBD staffs at morning.

During 10:00am, I’ve met my mentor for my logbook and he started what he left off to check the logbook. I finally got approved for my IT logbook and I thanked him for his recommendation and help. I wish I could meet him one day again. (^o^)

In confession; I ,indeed, thank TNBD PjCj for everything and I’m going to miss them all time and won’t forget their help. It was really honor to do training with TNBD in Putrajaya and it was really fun and interesting. GOOD BYE (*^o^*)

Week #11

With this week, I probably might tell you that I had just a Two Week left for my industrial training. It sounded sad & happy; sad :-( because I was going to miss all my trainees’ friends and all TNBD staffs. I was really having a wonderful time with them and I, in fact, enjoyed my training with them. It was one of my greatest memories then. It was happy :-)) because I finally managed a nice place to do my practical in different world with different people. I think this thing was one of my great achievements in my life. I would also complete my industrial training without any difficulties.

Here came week #11 with GIS activities again. SLD (Single Line Diagram) is a circuit diagram for each substation. It uses symbols, rather than labeled blocks. The purpose of a single-line diagram is to give a simplified presentation of the electrical installation on paper. In TNBD, they draw the single line diagram on AutoCAD software which it was explained about last week (Week #10).

During Monday (21/6/2010); I consulted about the final part of my assignment project! This part was for Vanguard for Malt-ripping work. This art was totally new to me since I’d got no information about it at all. For this reason, I’d met Mr. Wahidin B. Baharom (Senior Technician). He explained to me and provided to me the suitable information. In addition, I met also my executive assignment project to discuss about Vanguard titles, as well. He extra-explained it further and provided me a memorandum about it. My goal was to understand and read further about that title in general before making the Standard of procedure. In your information, I still got my Air-conditioner & OLTC standard of procedure in progress which needs both (writing & typing) by computer. Hope that I would do it on time!

During Wednesday (23/6/2010); with the help of the internet, I finally end typing up on computer the assignment project “the Standard of procedure (SOP) for Maintenance work of Air-conditioner” part (*^o^*). I was doing the same style like the CO2 procedure. As a revision, my draft was to map out all necessary steps in the procedure with designing the suggested template pattern. Then, I typed the first page including a short introduction giving an overview of the entire job.

 Introduction.
 Objective.
 Overview of the Procedure.


As I mentioned earlier that I wanted the reader to understand about the titles written as well as it was written in simple and brief. After that; I needed to download and customized some photos with clarifications for the purpose of naming some component in the photo and arrow the function of component. In the last part, I finally managed to finish the whole work without any troubles. I just needed to check and confirm about it and get approval for that. Hope everything going as I expected! (^^;)




During Friday (25/6/2010); after a two months passed, here we were with Aerobic program, once again. It was on Morning. The HR, Staff and all trainees got involved. The agenda was all about to contribute in some exercise to assist the contributor being in good physical shape as well as to perform some company activity. This activity was really wonderful (`^o^`) and exciting since you could see that the happiness :)) on face of all staffs and they were also having fun together and enjoying their time for some changes.

I’d also met Mr. Wahidin B. Baharom (Senior Technician) to discuss about the Vanguard for Malt-ripping tool. This time he showed me DIGITMR devices. It was used for the Digital Circuit Breaker Analyzer. This devices was as if Vanguard instrument. In addition, he explained to me when/ where they used it. So that, I could add some information about in my assignment project report!

Week #10

Here was the week #10 with the surprises of GIS activity. I had not forgotten revealing to my audiences about GIS activity. Geography Information System (GIS) is aiming to improve the electricity system distribution and develop the management of electricity. GIS contains a several activities; drawing (AutoCAD software by PC), SLD (Single Line Diagram) and Technical Rating Field. AutoCAD is a Computer Aided Design or Computer Aided Drafting (which often known by CAD) software application for 2D and 3D design and drafting. It considers in designing shapes. Each shapes/symbols are indicating to particular electrical station. it's actually up to TNBD designer. Here is a sample of AutoCAD schematic by TNBD

With Auto CAD software, we could use computer only to update the drawing of the substation. TNBD had been designed main electricity distribution areas before.

However; those days;

• There were a lot of developments happened.
• Some areas had been built/ renewed.
• There were some places needs a new substations and completion electricity distribution system.

Therefore; TNBD could use the schematic in order to update the new connection for the electricity.


Furthermore to that, this week was my semi-project work. I had finally accomplished some parts of Standard of Procedure for Maintenance Work. Even thought I was really stressful and busy mined nevertheless I had finally managed to achieve half of it. However; I had to confirm about the written procedure since my practical was coming into the end. In addition; I needed to proceed with my Industrial Training Project, because TNBD requested it before leaving!

1234567890 1234567890 1234567890

During Monday (14/6/2010); there was a sudden meeting done by maintenance engineer. This meeting conducted to check about all equipment/ tool that related to their work; particularly about the protection tool because it was essential for the maintenance work. The maintenance engineer requested to check what they had at first. Then, they needed to record any missing equipment. After that; they requested for a new tool s. At the end; the trainees had to register the data of tool by computer. In addition; I had consulted about some general information about the Power Factor.

As a revision, Apparent Power is a summion of Real Power and reactive Power;

S = P + Q
= KW + Kvar

 In your information; TNBD sat the power factor to;

PF= cosα = 0.85 ; where α (angle) is around 31.78 (Degree).

Note that:-
• Increasing the angle cause more losses & Kvar increases. [Therefore; we need to install a capacitor bank for power factor correction].
• Decreasing the angle cause more losses & Kvar decreases.

 Perfect Power factor happens when;

PF= cosα = 1 ; where α (angle) is around 0 (Degree).

Where;

 KW=KVAR
 No losses
 100% efficiency!

Here is a summarize photo indicating about the PF:-

During Tuesday (15/6/2010); after along research and reading a few guidelines about the Carbon Dioxide (CO2), at last I begun typing on computer the assignment project “the Standard of procedure (SOP) for Maintenance work of CO2” part. I was preparing my first draft. My first draft was to map out all necessary steps in the procedure with designing the suggested template pattern. Then, I typed the first page including a short introduction giving an overview of the entire job.

 Introduction.
 Objective.
 Overview of the Procedure.

The objective of making the above aspects first is; to give the reader a clear picture about the titles written before getting to the main point (The procedure of the work). Those aspects were written in simple and brief.


During Wednesdays (16/6/2010); Once again I proceeded typing on computer the assignment project “the Standard of procedure (SOP) for Maintenance work of CO2” part. This day was for the second draft. It was about

• Determine if any large steps can be broken down into smaller steps.
• Select an appropriate photos match with the action.

Besides; I modified for some pictures with clarifications for example; naming some component in the photo and arrow the function of component because the written procedure shouldn’t be long & complicated and hard to understand. As a matter of fact; I found some difficulties to simplify the procedure as much as possible, nevertheless I managed to finish the whole first part without any problems. Praised Allah (*^_^*).

During Thursday (17/6/2010); on morning; I met my executive assignment project about the first thing I had done. In fact, I wanted to know that whether my first move was right or not. He had checked my work out and he was impressived :-)) by the report style and suggested me to check with the technician whether it needed some extra-modification or not. More importantly; I could move to the next part of my assignment project with no worries.
On afternoon; I had finally met my host supervisor about my Industrial Training Logbook. He checked it out and made some comment about it. I’d been asked some questions about some written information as if Open Discussion. This time the meeting didn’t include checking the whole things. He suggested me to meet him other time with other day to proceed with the checking. Thanks Allah – I finally managed to get approval for some part of my logbook (/‘^o^’\).

Week #9

This week was the opening of the last activity in my whole industrial training. The activity was called by Geography Information System (GIS). It seemed a little bit weird owing to one-month duration :-o. I guessed that you probably might wonder why it was longer than other activity. As a matter of fact, this activity was separated into several activities, therefore I was not currently going to expose to you about all activities since it was still mysterious then. Therefore; if you truly would know what this activity was really about, Find Out Next Three Weeks Later (*^o^*).

Week #9 was as if a study week. I was planning to search continuing about my assignment project title. My assignment project was neither about a Circuit Design nor Drawing Single Line Diagram, but it was about reading further for Maintenance Work. I n particular, I necessarily needed to read more about On Load Tap Changer (OLTC) where it existed on Transformer, so that I could write about Standard of Procedure (SOP). I had also managed to pay a visit to Main substation PPU for taking picture although.

||(`~_~`)>>>[‘~_|_^*]<<<(*^_^*) ||

During Monday (7/6/2010); I was having an appointment with En. Mohd Hazrin Bin Mohd Mokhtar (Assistant Engineer) regarding to my project /*^o^*\. This appointment conducted to visit Main substation for assignment project purposes. The assignment project part was about Standard of Procedure (SOP) for maintenance work Air-Conditioner. Furthermore to that, I had finally been to Main substation PMU for 132KV/33KV/11KV in Purtajaya & Cyberjaya. The visit was with GM, Engineers, Executive and some technicians. The place was really massive building and you could also observe the transmission line & massive transformers. It was my first time to visit PMU since two-months ago practicing my Industrial Training. The visit conducted to check about the statue of each room including the components within such as witchgears, Cables and Fires Extinguishing. Furthermore, the visit considered more about the Control Room since it was the main core of checking out. As a reminder, the control contained Relay Protection Devices, Metering and Control Unit.

During Wednesday (9/6/2010); I worked out searching about SOP of maintenance work for On Load Tap Changer (OLTC) through internet since it was the third part of my assignment project. I also read further about the OLTC title so as to understand more about OLTC before I begun writing. Even though the titles seemed difficult to understand by reading nevertheless I would try my all best to achieve this assignment project.





In addition; I had talked with my host supervisor about appointment that we should discuss about My Industrial Training Log Book because it had been a while since he last checked it out. Therefore; he suggested meeting him during next week.

During Thursday (10/6/2010); I finally began to prepare my report since TNBD requested me to hand the report over before I left. Due to three weeks left for me, I had to get it done as soon as possible. In addition, I had discussed and consulted my executive about some clarifications of my assignment project; particularly about OLTC. En. Mohd Hazrin gave me guide book about the titles and he’d suggested me a template pattern for my assignment project. He made it easier for me. (‘^o^’)Thanks Allah… I hope I can fulfill the assignment on time.

During Friday (11/6/2010); it was a general meeting as usual. The meeting conducted to remind the staff for keeping job well and it was reminded that the estimation & calculation for any project had to be keeping according the field place as usual. The staffs also had been compliment and impressed by chief engineer.(*^o^*) Besides, The GM had audited some engineers and technician for particular job. By the way; I’d almost forgotten that there was a happy occasion. There was an announcement promotion to some engineers and staffs. It was really great news to hear that somebody had finally been moved to next level with next honor.

Week #8

After two-month period of my Industrial Training, I realized that I had to start over to check out about my little achievement although it was a short period. As you all knew that the internship period is three-months and I needed to submit report for my internship.

This week was not stressful week. it was just an office week and I thought of calling my visiting supervisor and discussing with her about the company visit. My visiting supervisor was Madam Yanti Erana Binti Jalil. Fortunately; I had luckily been called by My Visiting Supervisor Madam Yanti and she asked me about one appointment with my host supervisor. At last, we’d finally managed to make appointment for the Company visit. Praise Allah! (*^o^*)

Regarding to my Planning Activity Assignment, I’d finally managed to figure out about the information /^_^\.

1) The Cable Rating & Size (Area, Current Rating & Standard Fuse Rating).

2) Transformer Size (capacity KVA).

• 300 KVA
• 500 KVA
• 750 KVA
• 1000 KVA

3) Ring Main Unit (RMU) Types
.
• 2S + 1F (2 Switch, 1 Feeder > Transformer).
• 2S + 2F (2 Switch, 2 Feeder > Transformer).
• 3S (3 Switch)
• 3S + 1F (3 Switch, 1 Feeder > Transformer).


4) Feeder Pillar Size (Rating)[Rating Amp/ Main Bar].

• 400 A
• 800 A
• 1600 A

Note that: all the information given is for Low Voltage (LV).

As a result; I met my Planning Instructor En. Pn. Hasliana Binti Mohd (Electrical Engineer) in order to check out and seek for some clarification about electrical knowledge /^o^\.

+ X - = % & / + X - = % & / + X - = % & /+ X - = % & /+ X - = % & /+ X - =

During Monday (31/5/2010); I began my week with searching information about one part of my assignment project. The part of assignment project was standard of procedure (SOP) for maintenance work to Carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a Fire Extinguishing System which is a non-flammable, non-damaging electrically and non conductive gas. Therefore, I went to Electrical Station with technician to check first about how the CO2 protection is being installed and organized inside the Electrical Station. Then, I asked about the maintenance standard procedure of CO2. The procedure was not really complicated. It just needed to carry the data-sheet maintaining and test out the component of CO2 Fire Extinguishing System.

During Wednesday (2/6/2010); I had attended to ceremony competition in ILSAS in my Unversiti Tenaga Nasional in Kajang. This ceremony called by Sport Technical Event done by Tenaga Nasional Berhad. This event was for TNB staff from different sectors such as Putrajaya, Subang Jaya, Klang, Bandar Baru Bangi, Shah Alam … ect. This program objectify to train and reveal the different level technical abilities among TNB worker during practical work. This program was really amazing since you could observe that a lot of various stylish in installing meter, jointing cable, install overhead cable, fire extinguishing and so on. Every sector was hardly attempting to prove their method among other sector.

During Thursday (3/6/2010); it was one of the major days in my entire life. This day was especially for my visiting supervisor to the TNB Company. As a reminder, my visiting supervisor was Madam Yanti Erana Binti Jalil and my mentor was En.Lokman Bin Yusoff (Chief Engineer). At first, the visiting conducted to see and consulate my mentor about my industrial Logbook and me in person. Then, my visiting supervisor asked me some general questions and remained me about some issues such as my industrial training logbook, weblog, report and oral presentation day’s submission. My visiting supervisor seemed very pleased (^o^) by the visit and I was really glad for that. In a confession; I was feeling a little bit under pressure (^^;) but thank Allah, everything was just fine (*^o^*)

Week #7

As they always say Plan thing before You Do. Planning is an assessment procedure that minimizes the unexpected consequences. In my opinion; planning is the premium step before initiating anything, however planning without having a prior knowledge is a disastrous since it possibly may cause serious consequences. Fortunately; I’d luckily have experienced some activities such as construction, maintenance and so on, and I’d finally understood how the working duty for each activity. Therefore, here comes the Planning Activity.

Whilst you can observe the above picture, it indicates that planning procedures proceeds after the Supply Application. The supply application activity was already done during the previous weeks with the customer & Services Activity. The main point was the diagram above declaresd to you about the TNBD methodical progression work procedures.

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

During Monday (24/5/2010); there was a Morning casual safety talk. This talk was to remain the TNB staffs about the essential of the Safety during outside work as usual. As I had noticed that “Repeating The Safety Talk monthly is extremely important at least once, since we are all humans and we need to be caution all time; especially for electrical technicians”. Any mistakes most likely may cause serious cost. In my point of view; this monthly talk is absolutely great idea showing that Staffs Careness :-o.

During Tuesday (25/5/2010); after a long period consultation, I’d finally settled mind about one project (*^o^*). This project is under supervision En. Mohd Hazrin Bin Mohd Mokhtar (Assistant Engineer). The project title is Standard of Procedure (SOP) for Maintenance Work. This project objectifies to facilitate the preparation of the reports. En. Mohd Hazrin had discussed with me about the titles and begun with organizing some current appointments in order to visit some substation once again and begun to collect some information which would be helpful and suitable in the title. I wish that I would fulfill on time! (^^:)

During Thursday (25/5/2010); It’s was busy day for the company. It was a seminar talk for the contractors done by TNBD staffs. This seminar was about the work achievements discussion and rewarding some contractor. Furthermore; there was also a happy occasion (^o^) in Mines since there was a bowling game between TNBD and contractors after the speech seminar organized by TNBD.

In the whole general; weeks 7# was a totally different weeks than previous, it was about my Planning activity. This activity doesn’t have much visiting for site. It concentrates about technical paperwork, costing paperwork and costing benefit analysis. In the end, I was assigned to figure out:

1) The cable Rating & Size (Area, Current Rating & Standard Fuse Rating)
2) Transformer Size (capacity KVA).
3) Ring Main Unit (RMU) Types.
4) Feeder Pillar Size (Rating).

Week #6

As I’d told earlier that if I had still been alive, I probably would share with you about my stopover in Kedai Tenaga. Before I get started, I shall give you a brief definition about the place since it’s a new place name for some of my friends. Kedai (Shop) Tenaga is an office that supports electricity service to customers where contractors can make a new application/ change of tenant for electricity and Consumers can pay their bills and solve any electricity enquiry such as customer complaint.

During Week #6; I was still having a customer & services activity and I started to go on what I had left off from activities. I was having two remaining activities; Customer Serving and Billing & Account Activity.

1st: Customer Serving (Kedai Putrajaya):-

• New Application

A sheet form which the applicant who apply for electricity supply from TNB either developer, consultant engineer, electrical contractor or the tenant at different stages of the Supply Application Process. There two-type of application paper.

a) Application Form (Domestic Supply).

b) Application Form (Business Supply).

Both of forms are like similar but they are different in billing, here is a clear picture for the Domestic Supply form;

• Change of Tenant

The replacement consumer uses the same meter fas the previous consumers. The previous Consumer has to notify TNB about the change owing to avoid releasing the bill by the previous consumers’ names. Thus; there are three-type of application form;

a. Application Form (Move In). It is the same paper as new application

b. Application Form (Move Out).

c. Application Form (Move In & Move Out).

• Payment

There are two types of payment; new application payment & Billing.

• The Application Payment:-

Before install electricity to consumer; the contractor are giving 40 days for paying the deposit. If contractor doesn’t pay within mentioned days, the new application can’t be proceed and if the 40 days period passed, the new application would be disqualified. The main purpose of deposit is to begin work.

• Billing:-

The consumer should go to Kedai Tenaga to pay their electricity bill monthly. TNB also provides paying by bank or over online.

• Enquiry

Enquiry is an open service to customer giving the opportunity to make suggestions, recommendations or complaints in Kedai Tenaga. For instance; if consumer got any trouble with electricity supply; Customer Enquiry would check the situation and how to handle the problem in proper way. It’s really quite good ideas since TNB can improve their customer service and trying to apply one of the most common Shared Value in TNB plan; Customer First (`^o^`) ; looking to customer satisfaction.

2nd: Billing & Account (Kedai/Site):-

• Accounting Software (Using PC)

 Indicate about the address & meters no. of customers.





 Data that can be uploaded to the HHT device for Particular Purposes

• Hand Held Terminal (HHT).



 Upload the customer data
 Read the customer address.



 Scanner Meter Bar code Number.
 Type in the power consumption (KW/h) and Bill out.



 Distribute the Bill.

• Type of Customer

 OPC (Ordinary Power Consumer).
 LPC (Large Power Consumer).

• Type of Meter

 Electronic Meter.
 Mechanical Meter.

As I went for site with Kedai technicians; I’d seen that each of technicians’ duty was to meteorite approximately 74 customers per day; to scan, read power consumption and bill out. I just wonder that when registering the Power Consumption in KW/h on Hand Hat Computer device (HHC), the printer device on technician Belt would estimate the price directly and print the bill automatically without HHT is being wired. COOL (*o*) Here is a picture about it: -

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

During Friday (21/5/2010); it was gathering talk for EPE Switchgear (M) Sdn Bhd. This talk made by EPE worker. The purpose of this talk is; to inform and guide TNB staff, particularly the maintenance team technician, about various types of Switchgear with different rated voltage. This talk was slightly different. It looked like as open conservation between the speaker & audiences. Audiences sometime discuss with the speaker about switchgear with various type of protection (VCB, SF6, Oil…). The speaker also recommended about “Maintenance Services” such as:-

• Preventive Maintenance.

• Corrective Maintenance.

• Condition Based Maintenance.

In spite of everything; this week was not much exposing about my engineering Electrical major. It was all about business & Accounting. In contrast; this activity taught me a lot about how essential of the electricity in our life. Particularly; it taught me that “the 21th century people are, indeed, demanding more electricity over and over years, they are not able to live without it which will definitely prove that the electricity company are really having increase in the number of customers as well as the company necessarily needs the protection system for the purpose of keep improving the business and maintenance issue” Besides; although the electricity consumption are increasing more and more; I learnt that “with saving the energy consumption of the electricity; we could use more power as well as reduce the cost of billing”.

Week #5

By stepping down Voltage Twice from Main-Substation 33KV/11KV ---------> 11KV/415V, we shall see the Meter (*o*). I assume that everyone has seen the Meter since it is spread everywhere (Homes, Malls, Universities ect..). For this reason; I’m going to share with you one of the most common electricity equipment that you may see in your life.

During week #5, the activity that I had been through was; Customer & Services activity. This activity was not really simple and it does not have so much going for site but if they do, they just deliver the electricity bills, customer problem, installing meter & interrupt the electricity supply if it requested earlier from customers. In general; Customer, Services & Metering activity are divided into to three criteria; Metering, Billing & Account and Customer Servicing. During week #5; I was going out with technician for Metering (*o*)


Metering Activity:-

A) Installing Meter.

1. Type of Meter
>> Electronic Meter.

Reads more accurate and gives more details about power consumptions in different unit

>> Mechanical Meter.

Read less accurate than Electronic Meter and gives only one unit of power consumptiom.

2. Type of Customer
>> OPC (Ordinary Power Consumer). Customers which consume a low power electricity .

3. Meter conduct 240V

4. Secure the Meter & Fusion.

>>Cut-Out Fuse (R,Y,B,N) locked by Plastic Secure avoiding electricity interruption from consumer

B) Physical Check.

1. Reading and Recording the Power Consumption KW/h.

Measure and check current out to indicate alive cable

2. Type of Customer
>> OPC (Ordinary Power Consumer). Consumers whom has a low cability of consuming electrical power

3. Discuss with customer if complaint occurs.

4. Secure the Meter & Fusion (Mentioned Earlier) .

After all, It was not truly a complicated job but it spent so much time. As I observed that we needed to visit every assigned building to achieve any of those activities mentioned above earlier. Even though this work is not really a hard job nevertheless; it require someone memorize road and address of buildings & houses in such a way to fulfill a complete work simply.

$$$$$$$$$$$

During Thursday (13/5/2010); it was a busy day for the company. Everyone was in rush and there were a meeting then. I had also assigned to Kedai Tenaga technician and I made an appointment that I should come next Monday & Tuesday (17-18/5/2010) to Kedai Tenaga in Putrajaya in such a way to start one of the remaining activities (^_^). Just wait for me; if I have been staying alive next week, I probably would have exposed about it (*o*). –In Sha Allah-

During Friday (14/5/2010), it was also an important gathering. It was remaining the TNBD staff about Cleaning the Desk office since next Monday TNBD shall be visited to check about the office and cleaning. We, all trainees, have also notified that "before we leave, we have to keep the meeting room clear and tidy". Besides; two of my trainee friends named ‘Mohd Azim & Fiera Ismail’ had just done their practical training for six-months :-o . It was really having a great (/^o^\) and enjoyable time with them and it was little bit sad :-( because they left us. I wish them BEST OF LUCK.

At the End; I’d met my host supervisor En.Lokman Bin Yusoff and I asked him about one-title of project (*^o^*). That project was under his direction and He started to give me some information and clarification about the title so that I could see whether I would be able to achieve the project under him or I have to select another title (^^;). I hope that I could fulfill this project! –In Sha Allah-

Week #4

Week 4 was an office week since I started to check out what I had been doing during the past four weeks. As a matter of fact, I begun to prepare and settle my weblog for the past four weeks as well as set my pre-report up even though I had just completed training for around four weeks, nevertheless I believed that it was better to begin before anything get accumulated. In this week, I’d also been getting acquainted more with my new friends (^_^). In other word; I started to get along with my new friends’ trainees since we, all trainees, had been shifted into meeting room and it became our courtyard. Therefore; I started to know them even more. Besides; I consulted about some clarifications about maintenance practice from technicians.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

During Monday (3/5/2010); it was about Safety Presentation Talk to refresh and remind all staffs the essential of safety work and more importantly; the event was also concentrating about the great complete successfully Achievement Google Building in Cyberjaya. Since Google Building was supplied electricity 33KV with a complete and great protection system (/^o^\). The construction work, in general, had been done mostly during April 2010 and the supplement was begun on Sunday (2/5/2010).

During Wednesday (5/5/2010); it was also another gathering ordered by the General Manager (GM). The meeting was totally different from other. It was particularity for the trainee students. This meeting was only for reminding about discipline, policy, rule and regulation of company (TNBD). Furthermore; The GM had assigned the trainee practical a project. There were a 24 titles and the trainee must to select one and they had to get it done before the trainees ended up their training period and they would be giving acknowledgement and certification for complete project.

Furthermore; I’d been gone to Preventive Routine, this work is little bit similar to the maintaining routine for Substation Denominator Home (Main-substation). This time would on the Electrical Substation (Mini-substation).

1. Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB).
• Resistance test for the vacuum tank, the mechanism of switch breaker and oil the steel part to avoid Echo
2. Relay Device.
• Cable interconnection, test and troubleshoot.
3. Fault display.
• Test the Overcurrent Protection and Earth fault.
4. Cleaning.
• Wipe SG surface and blowing the dust.

*Here are some general photo about;

During Friday (7/5/2010); it’s a Friday Morning Talk. This ceremony was aiming to reward some staffs and introduced the new incomer trainees and some of new staff. This gather was really impressive since the GM started giving some gifts with certificates acknowledging the work of TNBD staffs. It was truly motivating behavior to encourage not only the other staffs but also the trainees to performance better during work. I wish I could get a opportunity like this before I leave! – In Sha Allah -

Week #3

In this week 3#; it was really the longest week ever that I had never seen in my life (-o-) and there were new three trainees from UTM. They were just only for 10 weeks. They were having the same major like me.

However, third week; I can call it by The TWO-DAY Maintenance for 11kV Switchgear [Right & Left]. The right & left indicate to the Switch gear, transformer and feeder. In revision; the Substation Denominator Home (Main Substation) consists of (2-Switch gear, 2-transformer, 2-feeder) for both 11KV and 33KV. For this reason; the Left side indicate to the Switch gear 1, transformer 1 and feeder 1 and the Right side indicate to the Switch gear 2, transformer 2 and feeder 2.

During past days; I realized that the maintenance procedure could not be done quickly; it actually required more careful and concentration and it also couldn’t be fulfilled by one technician only. For instance; in order to shut down the Switchgear in every Electrical Substation (Mini-Substation) (11KV); we needed two technicians at least; one technician for safety (the one who is responsible for shutting down the switch gear since it is so risky (‘o’)) and the other technician for calling the Control Center to inform about the current situation.

At this moment; I shall tell you a brief description about how maintenance procedure happens (^_^). Maintenance Routine, in the whole general, happens up to the places, dates and times. Sometime this routien happens annually/every eighteen-month/3-month or 3 weeks for the purpose of maintain the machine. So that it can save the company a lot of money (^o^) as a replacement for wasting in buying a new machine (-_-). During my experiences (/^o^\), there were two aspect for maintaining; shut down the Switch gear at Electrical Substation (Mini-substation) and maintaining routine for Substation Denominator Home (Main-substation).

Firstly; shut down the Switch gear at Mini-substation:-

1. Need to have data sheet related to switchgear sequence indicating; no of switch gear, its location & its status.

2. Before shutting down; call to control center to alert about situation.
3. Safety technician is the one responsible for shutting down the switch gear.

Secondly; Maintaining routine for Main-substation:-

1. Vacuum Circuit Breaker (VCB).

• Resistance test for the vacuum tank, the mechanism of switch breaker and oil the steel part to avoid Echo

2. Relay Device. [Pic.]

• Cable interconnection, test and troubleshoot.

3. Fault display.

• Test the Overcurrent Protection and Earth fault.

4. Cleaning.
• Wipe SG surface and blowing the dust.

During Friday (30/4/2010); there were two seminar programs. The 1st one was about the Aerobic program. It was on Morning. The GM, HR, Staff and all trainees were all involved. The program was all about to participate in some exercise to help the participant being healthy as well as to perform some company activity. This activity was really great (`^o^`) and interesting since you could see that the happiness :)) on face of all staffs and they were also having fun together and enjoying their time for some changes.

The 2nd one was for Health Talk Seminar. This seminar was about slides presentation guiding the staff about the type of food, TNDB statistic and Suggestion & Recommendation for health. The talk was useful and interesting. I ’ve even learned about how to keep your health for the purpose of not only to perform the work but also to have longer life. – In Sha Allah -
