Mantenimiento Mejorativo en las Intalaciones Eléctricas de la Planta de Lácteos Tunshi y Corrección del Factor de Potencia del Sistema Eléctrico en la Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo.

Abstract

An improvement Maintenance Plan at the Electrical Installations of the Tunshi Dairy Product Plant and the Correction of the Power Factor at the ESPOCH were carried out, to improve the Tunshi Dairy Product Plant and diminish the electrical cost at the ESPOCH. The electrical parameters were measure and the technical in both establishments was surveyed. The improvement maintenance at the Tunshi dairy product plant, involves the use of cables, protections and other devices according to the UNE-EN 60617 norms. A charge balancing was performed improving the existing de-phasing by 63.3% and the calculus for the placement of a grounding wire mesh. At the ESPOCH, a study of the electricity bills showed that one of them presented a penalty of 21.37 USD due to the low power factor as compared to the 900 USD measured by this gauge which represents a low cost, demonstrating the little possibility of having a benefit upon carrying out the calculus and the acquisition of a capacitor bank. With the study implementation at the dairy product plant the efficiency and yield of the equipment will considerably improve, benefitting its production, increasing the service life of the equipment and avoiding faults in the electrical system. The immediate budget management is recommended for an opportune implementation of the Improvement Maintenance at the Tunshi Dairy Product Plant, considering the use of the lightening designs as well as boards in the present document.
