5.7.3. Release reactive torque


When the load torque is larger than preset torque, drill pipe may be jammed and could not
drill; two methods are recommended shown as below to release the reactive torque.
Releasing torque reverse:
a) Keep the Throttle handle and the brake switch position, ensure the master motor can
output torque continually. Decrease the setting value of Drilling Torque handle. It makes
the master motors output torque down slowly. The drill reverses slowly until the
Drilling Torque handle to Zero; The reverse velocity of drill is down to Zero.
b) Keep the value of Drilling Torque handle and the Throttle handle goes back to ZERO
position when the drill torque is limited. The system brakes down when the motor stop to
output. Operation Mode and Direction switches hold their status. The drill starts to
reverse slowly after releasing the brake switch. Based on the reverse velocity, the
operator will apply the brake in suitable situation to ensure the drills interface can not be
thrown off. Repeated the above process until the drills reverse velocity cuts down to
Zero.
The using of method 2 is decided by the ability and status of the brake. And it is also
influenced by the experience for the drilling operator. So we recommend you to use the
method 1 for releasing reverse torque. Only when the drive device can not work, we can adopt
the method 2.

To avoid drill pipe thread off happens during the release reactive torque operation,
all operations should strictly follow the routine procedure. To avoid the accident,
the ccw rotate speed should be strictly controlled during release reactive torque
operation.

8.7. Trouble shooting


Top Drive control system has a monitor computer. Operator could check the fault or alarm
diagnosis on monitor screen if system cant work correctly.
8.7.1 Air switch diagnosing
If air switch broken by accident, the diagnose mainly consists of over current, the connection
cable or load equipment shorting cut to earth or phase shorting cut.
8.7.2 Earth fault
The top driver electrical system is IT system, it has isolation indication equipment in main
power line. The equipment can examine the isolation of rectifier input side, main power cable
and main transformer. If it gives an alarm, while main power is OK, the system can work
continually, but you must check the power systems isolation as quick as possible, because the
alarm shows that the power system isolation resistor has reduced or one phase of power
system is short cut to the earth.
The humidity or dirty of cable connector or isolation damage of power cable or transformer
can cause the isolation resistor reducing.

It is dangerous to human safety when one phase is short circuit to earth!


8.7.3 PLC fault checking
Top Drive PLC program has the function that the CPU can still run even lose a distributed I/O
station. But if CPU could not run, the CPU hardware or I/O module may be damaged.
Before checking the CPU, Please check its power supply first, the correct voltage is DC 24V.
To check the CPU, operator should remove the memory card after power off first, and then
power on the CPU and do memory clear operation. If CPU can run after this operation, this
means CPU is OK. Otherwise the CPU hardware may be damaged already.
Programmer with STEP7 software could exam the I/O equipment; it has fully diagnostic
function for fault checking. For detail please see STEP7 manual.

whether it has broken or loosed bus connector. If power supply and cable connection are OK,
the base module may be damaged already.
The network can also be diagnosed by STEP7 software.
To check the PROFIBUS cable by multimeter, operator must power off all
stations power supply and pull out every bus connector.
8.7.5 Drive system
The drive system includes Rectifier and Inverter. The Rectifier and Inverter have PMU
operation board to show the equipment status, fault, and alarm. The explanation can be found
in Rectifier and Inverter manual, the fault could be reset by P key on PMU or RESET key
on Driller Console (PROFIBUS communication is OK.) except hardware damage.

This manual has offered general request and precautions for electric system installation and
troubleshooting, if you want to know more information, please refer to the <Installation and
Trouble Shooting Manual>.
After arriving at destination, please mount it according to the following items. Check all
connecting, and then troubleshoot the electric system separately.

9.1. Electric System Reinstallation


a)

The electric house must be put on horizontal place, and away from the ground to avoid
water flow in from the bottom.

b) All cables should be connected with motor or local panel side first. All cable connectors
must be locked strictly to avoid water and loosing.
c)

Earth bar must be built (resistor <4) near the electric house and connected with the
main PE point of electric house.

d) The insulation of motors and cables must be checked before being connected with electric
house.
e)

All cables must be checked carefully to make sure correct connection before power on.

f)

Checking element parts and relevant supporters inside control cabinet to find any loose or
damage caused by transportation.

g) Switch off all air switches inside PLC/MCC cabinet. Generally, it is no need to open all
air switches inside Inverter and Rectifier cabinets.
h) Checking initial position of some mode select switches (refer to appendix 1).

9.2. Power on and Checking


After main 600V power has ready, and every cable from electric house to local equipment has
been correctly connected, then operator could power on Top Drive electric system.
a)

Operating the voltage select switch on Rectifier cabinet to check that each phase voltage
is in correct range (-15 to +10% of rated voltage 600V).

b) Switch on the control power switch inside Rictifier cabinet.


c)

Switch on the light inside PLC/MCC cabinet and light of electric house.

d) If in wet or high temperature environment, air conditioning must be switched on first to


reduce humidity and temperature.
e)

Power on each function block from high level to low level.

f)

Checking power on status from monitor system, for detail, please see related chapter.

g) Switch on theSystem Starton PLC/MCC cabinet to start Rectifier, checking DC output


voltage, the correct voltage is 810V.
h) Manually start cooling fan of main motor to check motors cooling fan, Rectifier cooling
fan and Inverter cooling fan.
i)

Checking oil level of HPU and starting each pump manually.

j)

9.3. Daily maintenance


a)

For electric system, dust proof and damp proof are most important. Operator should pay
attention to keep it dry and clean, and do not work in high (temperature higher than 45)
or low (temperature lower than -13) temperature environment. If Top Drive doesnt
work for a long time, before restart, operator should clean the dust on element parts by
dust collector, and dry them by hairdryer. Check the insulation resistance value finally, be
1M at least, generally the value is over 5M.

b) Start cooling fan first, and then select direction before start main motors.
c)

While running, pay attention to the current meter value of all control cabinet in electric
house.

d) Every cable should connect firmly, screw thread could not loose, and the weld parts
should be firm too.
e)

Because the light shine and air oxidation, cable will aging. Operator should pay attention
to check whether it split, flake or not after using two years. Usually operator should
change the cables after using four years.

f)

Driller Console is EX type, operator should use air filter and water separator to keep air
dry and clean, and make sure that there are no flammable and explosive gases exist.
