Appendix A - Main Circuit Breaker Electrical Characteristics

1. Rated voltage - 12 kV
2. Rated normal current - 1.25 kA
3. Rated breaking capacity (at 12 kV) - 12.5 kA
4. Short-time withstand current (3 s) - 14.5 kA

The main circuit breaker has the following protection relays connected to its trip and lock-out relay:

1. Generator differential
2. Over-temperature
3. Thermal image and inverse time negative over-current
4. Voltage restrained over-current
5. Reverse power
6. Loss of excitation
7. Earth fault over-voltage
8. AC over-voltage
9. Earth fault directional
10. Automatic voltage regulator failure

Electrical characteristics of bus-tie breaker:

1. Rated voltage - 12 kV
2. Rated normal current - 3.15 kA
3. Rated breaking capacity (at 12kV) - 31.5 kA
4. Short-time withstand current (3 s) - 31.5 kA

The bus-tie breaker has the following protection relays connected to its trip and lock-out relay:

1. AC over-voltage
2. Voltage restrained over-current

17. The average time taken for a DG to come on load after it has been started is 72 seconds, with about 35 seconds to stabilize the engine and 35 seconds required for synchronisation. This is a very broad generalization because it is based on limited sampling and because this time is governed by numerous variables; however, within the context of the events of this day, it can be taken to be a reasonable yardstick for establishing what probably occurred on the switchboard.

18. ISM Code, Element 8

19. The Netherlands Flag State Administration recognizes the certificates of competency of certain other flag states as being equivalent to their own certificates and on this basis issues such certificates of equivalency. These are usually valid for a year.

21. To accommodate industry needs, some administrations, such as Norway, India, Poland, Marshall Islands, and Canada, have developed educational and competency standards for electricians, though these are not standardized or uniform across countries.
