The main core activity of NLC is Lignite Excavation and power generation using lignite excavated.
NLC is having lignite mining units named as Mine I, Mine II, Mine IA and Barsingsar Mine. Also Raw
Lignite is being sold to small scale industries to use it as fuel in their production activities.

BARSINGSAR MINE 2.1 MT / A
NLC is generating power in its Thermal Power Station I, Thermal Power Station -II and in
Thermal Power Station I Expansion.
All the southern states are beneficiaries of this power generation project.
NLC is started generating power in Barsingsar Power Station in Rajasthan also.

History:
In February, 1978 Government of India sanctioned the Second Lignite Mine of capacity 4.7 MT of
lignite per annum and in February `83, Government of India sanctioned the expansion of Second Mine
capacity from 4.7 Million Tonnes to 10.5 Million Tonnes. Unlike Mine-I, Mine-II had to face problems in
the excavation of sticky clayey soil during initial stage. The method of mining and equipment used are
similar to that of Mine-I. The seam is the same as of Mine-I and is contiguous to it. The lignite seam in
Mine-II was first exposed in September 1984 and the excavation of lignite commenced in March, 1985.
GOI sanctioned the expansion of Mine-II from 10.5 MTPA to 15.0 MTPA of lignite in October 2004 with a
cost of Rs. 2295.93 crore. Mine-II Expansion project was completed on 12th March 2010. The lignite
excavated from Mine-II meets the fuel requirements of Thermal Power Station-II and Thermal PowerStationII Expansion under implementation.
Present:
Mine-II has a lignite capacity of 15 Million Tones per Annum. The earth above the lignite named
as overburdenis removed in different phases of excavation viz
1. New Surface bench,
2. Surface bench,
3. Top bench,
4. Middle bench and
5. Bottom bench.
The excavation of ligniteis carried out in the Lignite bench.

The water encountered due to deep excavation is pumped out. A department called GROUND
WATER CONTROL carries out this work. The Earth and Lignite excavated are transported to surface
using Conveyors.

Description
Bucket Wheel Excavator
Bucket-wheel excavators (BWEs)are heavy equipment used for continuous overburden removal
in surface mining applications. They use their cutting wheels to strip away a section of earth (the

working block) dictated by the size of the excavator. The primary function of BWEs is to act as a
continuous digging machine in large-scale open pit mining operations. What sets BWEs apart from other
large-scale mining equipment, such as bucket chain excavators, is their use of a large wheel consisting
of a continuous pattern of buckets used to scoop material as the wheel turns.
750KW with 3.3KV Bucket wheel Motors are used here.
Conveyor Belts
A Conveyor belt(or belt conveyor) consists of two or more pulleys, with a continuous loop of
material - the conveyor belt - that rotates about them. One or both of the pulleys are powered, moving
the belt and the material on the belt forward. The powered pulley is called the drive pulley while the
unpowered pulley is called the idler. There are two main industrial classes of belt conveyors; Those in
general material handling such as those moving boxes along inside a factory and bulk material
handling such as those used to transport industrial and agricultural materials, such as grain, coal, ores,
etc. generally in outdoor locations.
Spreader

Spreadersin mining are heavy equipment used in surface mining and mechanical
engineering/civil engineering. The primary function of a spreader is to act as a continuous spreading
machine in large-scale open pit mining operations. The purpose of the spreader is to receive
overburden from the haulage conveyor from the sorting area and dump it in an orderly and efficient
manner.

MINE-II SUB STATION
POWER SUPPLY.
For electrical power supply requirement of all the equipment for the above said activities is fed
from a 335 MVA, 230/11 KVsub station located at the pivotal point that is centre of mines.
SOURCE OF SUPPLY
The above sub station is fed from the Thermal Power station-II, through 230KV, 250MVAtower
line feeders called MF3 & MF4
CRITICAL ROLE OF 335MVA, 230/11 KV SUB STATION
This sub station caters to the entire needs of the Mine-II project. The 230 KV received is
converted into 11 KVsupply using 12 power transformers. The 11 KV switch yard has been provided
with 120 numbers outlets for connecting the mines loads. There is a control room manned round the
clock with engineers and technicians to monitor the Sub Station.

Isolator (Disconnecting Switch):
A switching device, which can be opened or closed only under no current condition. It provides
Isolation of a circuit for the purpose of maintenance.
Earthing Switch:
It is a switch that connects a conductor to the earth so as to discharge the charges on the
conductor to the earth. Earthing switches are generally installed on the frames of the isolators.
Relay:
It is an automatic device that closes its contacts when the actuating quantity/quantities reach a
certain predetermined magnitude/phase.
Current Transformer (CT).
The current ratio of current transformer is generally high (e.g. 500 A/5A and volt-ampere
capacity is relatively low (e.g. 50 VA) as compared with that of the power transformers.
Voltage Transformer (VT)
The volt-ampere capacity of a potential transformer is low (e.g.) 100 VA) and the voltage ratio is
relatively high (e.g. 230 KV. / 110V). The protective relays are connected in the secondary circuits of CTs
and VTs.
Lightning Arrester (Surge Arrester)
The equipment connected between the conductor and ground, to discharge the excessive
voltages to earth.
Distribution of 11 KV Supply
From Substation to Machines & Conveyors, The 11 KV supply comes through Landline Cables
terminating with Pillor Boxes, Couplers and Distribution Kiosk.
All the Excavators and Spreaders get supply through Trailing cableswhich are flexible in nature.
