SCOPE OF THE STUDY Scope of the study to cover all the aspect of the TRADE UNIONS and the MANAGEMENT in BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRICALS LIMITED (B.H.E.L.) situated in JHANSI and by the process by which both of them maintain good INDUSTRIAL RELATION.
RESEARCH METHODOOGY Meaning and objective: Research simply means a search for fact- answer to question and solution to problem. It is purposive investigation, it is an organised inquiry. It seeks to find explanation to unexplained phenomenon to clarify the doubtful fact and to correct the misconceived fact. The objective of my research is to know about the INDUSTRIAL RELATION in any particular organisation and how they are helpful for the workers and management. The reason for choosing BHEL is very simple BHEL is successful pubic sector undertaking (psu) which employed large workers and have many trade unions (7 in case of BHEL JHS). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY DATA: A methodology is the way of approaching the problem in order to find out truth involved in a problem. SIZE OF SAMPLE: Sample size for the survey was units of units in which are workers, management and trade unions. The sample represented the whole of workers, management and trade union, which are selected through “Random Sampling Method” on the basis of data collected, and conclusions are drawn. SURVEY WORK: The information regarding the functioning of trade unions is obtained from almost every department of organisation on I
DATA SOURCES: Data is collected in three ways:1. Interview and Discussion 2. Observation. 3. Questionnaires INTERVIEWS AND DISCUSSION: Unstructured interview was conducted with HR officer. During the interview question were asked about trade unions and discussion were made regarding the effective implementation in BHEL. At the time of filling questionnaire some question were also asked respondent to obtain insight about the organisation. OBSERVATION: Second step for collecting data is observation. At the time of field survey, observation were made at there natural setting, employees were being observed therefore, observation were under taking in every realistic conditions. QUESTIONNAIRE: The third steps for collecting the data are structured questionnaire consist of a set of question presented to a respondent for his response. A structured questionnaire is one were the listing of question was in a pre-arranged order and were the object of inquiry was revealed to the respondent. The form of question was used in questionnaire such as ended question dichotomous question. The present work is based on the open-ended question. DATA PROCESSING: In the last step, collected data have been presented in the form of table, which has been analysed subsequently below the table. This analysis finally helped in drawing conclusion and making suggestion.
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY Completion of a project work is not a simple task. Many problems came into existence with passes of time. I had also faced many problems in my project work because my project was based on the survey work by distributing questionnaire. As the methodology adopted by me was a survey work through questionnaire, many respondents were unable to fill questionnaire within the time, because of their busy schedule. This causes lots of inconviences in getting filled questionnaire at the right time. Organisation is established in a large area and going from one department to another takes lots of time. 1. The time was the major limiting factor. 2. Some workers and officers were hesitating to give the information. 3. Random sampling method, on the basis of data is collected did not provide the correct insight of the organisation in some extent. 4. The answers received from the respondent sometimes were unable to meet the enumerated expectation.

BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRICALS LIMITED, JHANSI (UNIT) A Brief Introduction
By the end of 5th five-year plan, it was envisaged by the planning commission that the demand for power transformer would rise in the coming years. Anticipating the country’s requirement BHEL decided to set up a new plant, which would manufacture power and other types of transformers in addition to the capacity available in BHEL Bhopal. The Bhopal plant was engaged in manufacturing transformers of large ratings and Jhansi unit would concentrate on power transformer upto 50 KVA, 132 KV class and other transformers like Instrument Transformer s, Traction transformers for railway etc. This unit of Jhansi was established around 14 km from the city on the N.H. No 26 on Jhansi Lalitpur road. It is called second-generation plant of BHEL set up in 1974 at an estimated cost of Rs 16.22 crores inclusive of Rs 2.1 crores for township. Its foundation was laid by late Mrs. Indira Gandhi the prime minister on 9th Jan. 1974. The
commercial production of the unit began in 1976-77 with an output of Rs 53 lacs since then there has been no looking back for BHEL Jhansi. The plant of BHEL is equipped with most modern manufacturing processing and testing facilities for the manufacture of power, special transformer and instrument transformer, Diesel shunting locomotives and AC/DC locomotives. The layout of the plant is well streamlined to enable smooth material flow from the raw material stages to the finished goods. All the feeder bays have been laid perpendicular to the main assembly bay and in each feeder bay raw material smoothly gets converted to sub assemblies, which after inspection are sent to main assembly bay. The raw material that are produced for manufacture are used only after thorough material testing in the testing lab and with strict quality checks at various stages of productions. This unit of BHEL is basically engaged in the production and manufacturing of various types of transformers and capacities with the growing competition in the transformer section, in 1985-86 it under took the re-powering of DESL, but it took the complete year for the manufacturing to begin. In 198788, BHEL has progressed a step further in under taking the production of AC locomotives, and subsequently it manufacturing ACD/DC locomotives also.

AN IMPACT FEATURE BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRICALS LIMITED BRIGHTENING LIVES…… POWERING PROGRESS Establishment of B.H.E.L. At the time of independence, there was hardly any industrial infrastructure worth the name except perhaps the railways, post & telegraph and the only large steel mill of TISKO. Over two-third of India’s GNP was contributed by the agriculture sector and the country was woefully short of the basic ingredient for economic development, power. For a country with a population of 360 million in 1947, the total power generation was a meagre 1347 MW, with a per capita electric consumption of 14kWh. Led by Pt. Nehru’s vision, policy planners realized that without an adequate base to manufacture equipment required for generation, transmission and distribution of electric power, the desired levels of industrialization and economic development could not be achieved for the growth of the country. This led to the setting up of Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) in the late 1950s. Its mandate was to make the country self-sufficient in the indigenous manufacture of power equipment. The power equipment industry was thus established in India with setting up of the plant of BHEL at Bhopal in 1956 (under Heavy Electricals India Ltd. – HEIL). Subsequently, during the third five year plan, 3 more manufacturing plants were set up at HARIDWAR, HYDRABAD and TIRUCHIRAPALLI under BHEL. The formal merger of HEIL with BHEL happened in January, 1974. Since then, there has been no looking back and BHEL has fulfilled the objective of making India
self-reliant in the field of power plant equipment. BHEL has the unique distinction of being one of the very few companies in the world, manufacturing all major power plant equipment under one roof. BHEL has become an icon of an incredible success story, from its humble inception to becoming the largest engineering enterprise of its kind in the country and one of the foremost companies in the international power arena. There are 125 organised players in the machine tools segment, followed by welded steel pipes and tubes (123) and material handling equipments (50). There are as many as 34 public sector enterprises, with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) being the largest engineering and manufacturing enterprise in the country. Engineering India Ltd, Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. Crompton Greaves, HMT and Larson & Toubro comprise others players in the segment. A liberal policy regime, relaxation on import duties in some product categories and de-licensing of heavy electrical industry with 100% FDI allowed serve as icing on the cake. Quality control is gaining momentum, with more than 2,500 corporate in the engineering sector acquiring ISO 9000 accreditation. Many others are in the process of getting ISO certification. While India showed a magnificent growth in thermal generation in the past 50 years, a lot needs to be done in hydro and nuclear fronts.
The economy is slated to grow at over 8% in 2007-08. The future seems perfect, provided companies continue to focus on operational excellence through strategic planning. Indian corporate seems to be now setting the standards for themselves and offering world-class products and services. They are also marketing their products and services aggressively to thrive in the global competition. “A plethora of engineering colleges across the country are training thousands of students in electronics and electrical engineering every year”. With all its highs and lows, the heavy Electricals industry has managed to survive even in the most difficult situations, and today, when the market scenario seems favourable, it can look ahead for bigger gains.
STRENGTHS OF BHEL
“The customer is centric to all activities in a business organization. The real challenge in all about marshalling the resources in pursuit of customer excellence.” BHEL is today, a multi-product company offering over 180 highly sophisticates engineering products under one umbrella. The company is one of the most successful public sector enterprises consistently making profits since 1971-72 and paying dividends since 1976-77. One of the strongest points of BHEL has been its international competitiveness, which the company has successfully
proved by begging over 86% of power plant orders international competitive bidding in the domestic market, since 1978. BHEL’s inherent potential and consistently excellent performance has resulted in it being chosen as the only engineering “NAVRATNA” PUBLIC SECTOR ENTERPRIE. The company has a committed workforce of 43,000 employees at 14 manufacturing division, 8 service centers, 4 power sector regional centers and regional officers, besides project sites all over India and abroad.
BHEL has a corporate R & D center at Hyderabad and product-based R & D centers at its manufacturing division. Siemens, General Electric, Alstom etc. BHEL’s investment in R & D in amongst the largest in the corporate sector in India. BHEL has filed 84 patents during 2005-06, taking the total no. of patents to 339. In addition, 13 copyright applications were also filed during the year. The non-power business segment also includes supplies to the Indian Railways. The company has supplied over 55,000 traction machines to the Indian Railways. Its traction electrics and AC/DC locos power a railways network of over 12,000 kms.
A quality conscious organization with a strong customer focus, BHEL has upgraded to the latest ISO-9001:2000 Version for all its operations. To fulfill its corporate commitment towards protection and conservation of the environment and ensuring that its products and systems also meet such requirement, all the unit/divisions of BHEL have been awarded ISO-14001 environmental management system certification. As a responsible corporate in occupational health and safety, BHEL has secured the prestigious OHSAS-18001 certification for all its units/division. A pioneer in Human Resource Development India. BHEL realizes the value of quality human resource and that the development of this critical resource as an imperative, in the current business environment. As a step in this direction, aimed at encouraging individuals to take up improvement projects for capability building and for continuous improvement projects Reward Scheme (IMPRESS) has also been introduced company-wide.
POWER FOR ALL, BY 2012 The heavy electrical equipment and engineering sector is taking giant strides and is expected to flourish in the coming years, thank to liberal policies regimes, globalization. Heavy electrical and engineering is leading industrial production segment in India. Conglomerates in the field offer a wide variety of services and products for core sectors like power, oil and gas. The country, which had only 1.300 mw of power capacity in 1947, has an installed generating capacity of over 11,800 mw, nearly six decades after independence. This has to be further increased to more than
20,000 mw in the next six years if the government has to accomplish it mission of “POWER FOR ALL BY 2012”. About Rs. 80,000 crores will be required for doubling the power capacity by that period. Of this, Rs. 20,000 crores will required for the associated transmission system. The $10- billion electrical industry can provide up to 5000 mw generating sets, 400 kv AC, high voltage DC equipment and enough equipment for setting up of nuclear power plants, steel plants and petrochemical complexes. India’s transformer industry has gained a dominant position at the global level with companies foraying into joint ventures with manufacturers abroad. Rotating machines industries, comprising motors and generators, is meeting alternative power needs of SMEs, MNCs, as well as the domestic sectors. “Upgrading the technology and equipment has promised better efficiency and increased reliability”. The growth of the engineering sector can be attributed to end user industries (refining, automotive, textiles, railways), strides in power and construction sector, well developed supply chain qualified engineers, and global manufacturers interest in India as an out sourcing destination due to its cheap, yet skilled labour. Engineering exports
may notch up $30 billion by 2008-09, according to the Engineering Exports Promotion Council. Industrial machinery production rose from Rs. 8,932.24 million in April- September 2003-04 to Rs. 11646.47 million in April September 2004-05, a growth of 30.39%. The production of machine tools shot up from Rs. 10,782.86 million to Rs. 11,647.95 million in the same period ‘ELECTRICAL generators’ production went up from Rs. 4,438.87 million to Rs. 5,903.55 million, registering a remarkable jump to 33%.
NEW INITIATIVES FOR POWER CAPACITY ADDITION •
Ministry of power has proposed Ultra mega power projects using coal-fired, environment friendly supercritical technology at five locations, totalling to 20,000 MW additional capacity in the 11th and 12th Plans. Additionally, two new locations are in the process of identification.
• To accelerate the hydro-power development, 50,000 MW hydroelectric initiatives were launched by the Prime Minister of India on May 24, 2003.
RAJIVE GANDHI GRAMEEN VIDYUTIKARAN YOJNA • Central government has launched this new scheme for providing access to electricity to all households in the country in five years. The scheme would be implemented through Rural Electrification corporation (REC).
• Under the scheme 90% capital subsidy would be provided for the overall cost of the project. • Till February 2006, approximately 5,000 villages have been electrified during 2005-2006.
ROTATION REPORT
TRANSFORMER COMMERCIAL (TRC): The objective of the department is interaction with the customers. It brings out tenders and notices and also responds to them. It is this department that bags contracts of building transformers. After delivery regarding faults, this department does failures and maintenance. All such snags are reported to them and they forward the information to the concerning department. One of the major task of this department is to earn decent profits over all negotiations. Transformer industry has become very competitive. The company offering the lowest price gets the contract but this process may continue does the work on very low profits. To avoid such a situation, a body by the name of India Electrical Manufactures Association (IEMA) was set up. This association helps to maintain a healthy competitive atmosphere in the manufacturing of electrical appliances. The main work of the TRC is classified as: Tenders and notices. Interaction with design department. Place of the work. Approximate cost of the work. Earnest money. The place and time where contract documents can be seen. The place and time where tender documents can be obtained.
The time up to which the tender documents will be sold. The amount if any to be paid for such documents. The place and the date and the time when tenders are to be submitted and are to be opened. TRANSFORMER ENGINEERING (TRE): The transformer manufactured in BHEL Jhansi range from 10 MVA to 240 MVA and up to 220 KV. The various transformer manufactured in this unit are:Power transformer a) Generator transformer b) System transformer. c) Auto transformer. Special transformer. a) Freight loco transformer. b) ESP transformer. c) Instrument transformer. d) Dry type transformer. All above types are oil cooled except dry type, which are air-cooled. The generated voltages at the power station are 6.9 KV, 11 KV and 13.8 KV but due to certain advantages like economical generation 11 KV is the most widely used. For this voltage needs to be stepped up. Transmission at high voltage is desirable because it results in lesser losses, needs thinner wire and hence is economical. If the current is
kept high the copper losses become very high but iron losses are practically constant. In certain cases the required voltage may be less than the output voltage, so in order to obtain it we require a tapping circuit. The output voltage may have a certain percentage variation, which may be tapped in 4 or 6 equal steps. The type of tap changer depends on the application of the transformer. Where a continuous power supply is not required an Off Circuit Tap Changer (OCTC) may be used. Where a continuous power supply is a must e.g. at a sub station in cities etc. On Load Tap Changer (OLTC) is used. FABRICATION: Fabrication is nothing but production. It comprises of 03 bays i.e., Bay0, Bay1 &Bay 2.
BAY-0: It is the preparation shop while the other two bays form the assembly shop. This section has the following machines : o Planner machine – To reduce thickness o Shearing machine

4-foot assembly Before assembly, short blasting (firing of small materials i.e., acid picketing) is done on different parts of jobs to clean the surface before painting.
After assembly some tests are done known as NON DESTRUCTIVE TEST 1.
Ultrasonic test: to detect the welding fault on the CRO at the fault place high amplitude waves are obtained.
2.
Die Penetration test: Red solution is put at the welding and then cleaned. After some time white solution is put. Appearance of a red spot indicates a fault at the welding.
3.
Magnetic crack detection: Magnetic field is created and then iron powder is put at the welding. Sticking of the iron powder in the welding indicated a fault.
4.
X-Ray Test: It is same as human testing and the fault is seen in X-ray film.

The type of winding depends upon job requirement. Also, the width and thickness of the conductors are designed particulars and are decided by design department. Conductors used for winding is in the form of very long strips wound on a spool, the conductor is covered by cellulose paper for insulation. For winding first the mould of diameter equal to inner diameter of required coil is made .The specification of coil are given in drawing. The diameter of mould is adjustable as its body is made up of wooden sections that interlock with each other. This interlocking can be increased or decreased to adjust the inner diameter of coil. The moulds are of following types:1. Belly types 2.Link types 3. Cone type

BAY 8: It
is
the
instrument
transformer
and
ESP transformer
manufacturing section. INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMER These are used for measurement. Actual measurement is done by measuring instruments but these transformers serve the purpose of stepping down the voltage to protect the measuring instrument. They are used in AC system for measurement of current voltage and energy and can also be used for measuring power factor, frequency and for indication of synchronism. They find application in protection of power system and for the operation of over voltage, over current, earth fault and various other types of relays.
They are of two types. 1-Current transformer (CT) 2-Voltage transformer (VT) CURRENT TRANSFORMERIt is a step down transformer. High current is not directly measured by the CT but is stepped down to lower measurable voltages. BODY: • The main body is a bushing, which houses the winding and also acts as an insulator. • The CT has a bottom and top chamber. • The top chamber is a cylindrical tank of mild steel. It has terminals
for
connection of HV coils. It also has a glass
window to indicate the oil level. • Below the top chamber is the bushing made of porcelain. It has several folds or “rain sheds” to provide a specific electric field distribution and long leakage path. Some bushings are cylindrical while modern ones are conical as amount of oil porcelain used is reduced without any undesirable defect. • Bottom chamber houses the secondary winding. There is also connection box to which the connection of the low voltage (LV) coil is made.
WINDINGS: The primary winding consist of hollow copper/aluminium pipe bent in form of a ‘U’ aluminium is used for low rating. For higher rating a set of wires is passed through the pipe. For still higher ratings, a copper pipe is used and for highest rating copper pipe with copper wires passing through it is used. This arrangement depends on the current carrying capacity. The bent portion of primary as in the bottom chamber where as the free end is the top chamber. The straight portion lies inside the bushing. The primary is wound with crepe paper insulation. The thickness of the insulation goes in increasing as we go downwards in the bottom chamber. The free ends are provided with ‘ferrules’, which are, small hollow cylinders through which wires can pass connection to the primary are made through these ferrules. The secondary is divided in a number of coils for different set of tapings. Connections are different tapings are made in connection box. Each coil has an annular core of CRGO (silicon steel). The wire use is insulated copper wire. The winding may be done both manually and by machine. After winding the coils are covered with paper tape insulation. The coils are then slipped into both the legs of the primary winding and connections are made in connection box for different tapping. VOLTAGE TRANSFORMERS:
This is also a stepped down transformer. The outer construction is same as that of the CT that is this also has a top chamber, bushing and a bottom chamber. The difference is only in the winding.
WINDINGS: The primary winding is of the thick wire having a few turns. The winding is heavily insulated with paper insulation. It has a hollow cylinder passing centrally through it, which houses the secondary winding. The clean and painted with either enamel or epoxy paint. The customer gives the choice of paint. Epoxy paint is generally used in chemical plants and seashore installation. Terminals are then mark and ratings and diagram plate is fixed. The job is then sent to the shipping department, which takes care of its dispatch by packing it in the wooden boxes. ESP TRANSFORMER: The
Electrostatic
Precipitator
transformer
is
used
for
environmental application. It is used to filter in a suspended charge particle in the waste gases of an industry. They are of particular use in thermal power stations and cement industry. The ESP is a single-phase transformer. It has a primary and secondary. The core is laminated and is made up of CRGOS. It is a step up transformer. An AC reactor is connected in series with primary coil. The output of the transformer must be DC the is
obtained by rectifying AC using a bridge rectifier (bridge rectifier is a combination of several hundred diodes). A radio frequency choke (RF choke) is connected in series with the DC output for the protection of the secondary circuit and filter circuit. The output is chosen negative because the particles are positively charged. The DC output from the secondary is given to a set of plates arrange one after the others. Impurity particles being positively charged stick to these plates, which can be jerked off. For this a network of plates has to be setup all across the plant. This is very costly process in comparison with the transformer cost. A relive vent is also provided to prevent the transformer from bursting it higher pressure develops, inside it. It is the weakest point in the transformer body. An oil temperature indicator and the secondary supply spark detector are also provided. One side of the transformer output is taken and other side has an ‘marshalling box’ which is the control box of the transformer.
BAY-9: In this bay power transformer are assembled. After taking different input from different bays 0-9 assembly is done Power transformer is used to step and step down voltages at generating and sub-stations. There are various ratings –11KV, 22KV, manufactured, they are a) Generator transformer. b) System & c) Autotransformer. A transformer in a process of assemblage is called a job. The design of the transformer is done by the design department. & is unique of each job; depends on the requirement of customer. The design department provides drawing to the assembly shop, which assembles it accordingly. The step involved in assembly are: 1. Core building 2. Core Lifting. 3. Unlacing. 4. Delacing and end-frame mounting. 5. High voltage terminal gear and low volt terminal gear mounting.
6. Vapour phasing and oil soaking 7. Final servicing and tanking. 8. Case fitting. Core Building: It is made of cold rolled grain oriented steel ‘CRGO’. The punched core is sent to this shop from core punching shop. Here it is assembled with the help of drawing a set of 4 laminations is called a packet. The vertical portion of the core is called a ‘leg’ the horizontal one is called as ‘yoke’. Packets of both are interlinked. It is undesirable to keep the X section of core circular to provide low reluctance part with out air space. A perfect circle can not be made so the core is stepped to achieve a near circle. Whatever spaces left are filled with thin wooden rod. After core building the end frames are bolted. The bolts are insulated from the core.
Core Lifting: The core is lifted by a crane and is placed vertical. The rest of assembly is done on the core in this position.
Unlacing & Core Coil Assembly: The yoke of the core is removed using crane. Bottom insulation in form of 50MM thick UDEL sheets is placed PCB and press board are also used for filling the gap and to provide a good base
for the coil to rest. The coil are then lowered primary, secondary, tertiary and tap in that sequences. Replacing & End-frame Mounting : After lowering a coil the top insulation similar to the bottom one is provided. The removed yoke is placed end-frame bolted back into its position. The connections are then made as per drawings. All the conductors are insulated using crepe paper. Brazing copper makes the connections. For brazing silphos is used. The following tests are done during re lacing: 1. Megger Test. 2. Ratio test. 3. Meg current / High Volt test. Testing at this stage is called pre testing. This is essential because if false are seen at a later stage, whole of the transformer will have to be dissembled. H.V.T.G & L.V.T.G. : Terminals gears are accessories provided at high voltage and low voltage terminals. Main device used is tap changer. Tap changer can be on load or offload. In offload type the supply has to be tripped, then the tapings changes but in on load type the tapings can be changed while the supply is on. On load tap changer (OLTC) are used where the supply is desired to be continuous.
The upper portion of the OLTC contains mechanism by which tapping is changed. There is switch which changes tap in very small type (Micro-seconds). But there is a possibility of sparking. To get rid of it, OLTC
IS
filled with oil. The bottom part houses
the terminals and the mechanism, which makes automatic connections. The terminals are made of thick aluminium strips. Vapour Phasing & Oil Soaking: It is well known fact that water (impure) is a conductor electricity. Therefore, moisture presence in transformer will effect insulation, the process of moisture removal from transformer is called vapour phasing. The job is put in dummy type and place in a vacuum vessel. It is an airtight chamber with heating facilities. A solvent vessel is released is the chamber which enters all transformer parts and insulations. It absorbs water rapidly. The job is heated in vacuum. All the solvent vapours are sucked out with moisture. Metals contain no moisture but a lot of insulations is provided which contains this moisture and if not taken care of, may burst the job After moisture removal tank is filled with transformer oil and soaked for at least three hours, so that every gets wet with oil.
The job remains in vessel for three days during phasing. It is then taken out of the vessel and also out of the dummy time. Final Servicing & Tanking : After taking the job out of dummy time all the parts retightened any other defects are rectified and job is retimed in mild steel tank. After tanking oil is filled. Case Fitting: The accessories are fixed and final touches given to job. The accessories include tank cover, fixing bushing, fixing valves etc. The terminals are marked and R and D. (Rating and Diagram) plate is fixed. Bolting and not riveting because it may require maintenance and hence opening close the tank. Bushings are hollow to provide a passage for conductor; oil is filled inside the hollow spaces for better insulation. Bushing is built on a mild steel base, which is bolted to bottom chamber with a cork gasket in vacuum. The bottom chamber is mild steel tank with a steel frame attached to its base for earthling. This chamber houses the secondary winding. STORE: There are three sections in store: • Control Receiving Section
• Custody Section • Scrap Disposal Section FUNCTIONS: list of material coming in stores is prepared and Quality Control people are called for inspection. If material is found as per standard, SRV (Store Receipt Voucher) is issued for each material. A total of 08 SRV’s are prepared. Some materials such as Silicon oil, Transformer oil, Insulating material etc are directly stored in the Bays.

Traction transformer: It is fixed on under frame and gets supply from an overhead line by equipment called pantograph. The type of pantograph depends on supply. This transformer steps down voltage and is fitted with a tap changer. Different taps are taken from it for operating different equipment. One tap is taken and is rectified into DC using MSR and is fed to the DC motor.
Railways has two types of power supplies – 25 KV , 1 Phase ,50hz AC -1500 V DC An AC/DC loco is able to work on both of these supplies. For e.g. WCAM-3. WORK ENGINEERING & SERVICES (WE&S) This department looks after the commissioning and maintenance of all the machinery used in the factory.

The
sequence
of
process
of
manufacturing is decided for timely and economic completion of the job.
Operation time estimate : It includes incentive scheme management
Allowed operation time: It includes incentive amount
Facilities identification: It includes looking for new equipment or plant or tools to increase productivity
Special process certification: Special processes are the ones requiring expertise for example identifying errors, cracks, air bubbles in welding
Special tools requirement: Special tools are allotted, if possible, when required else the design has to be reconsider.
Productivity projects compilation: It includes the initial analysis of the problem and their appropriate solution to enhance productivity.
The
principle
of
working
is
that
“IF YOU DO NOT MAKE THE CHANGES IN YOUR COMPANY, THE CUSTOMER WILL CHANGE YOU”. BUS DUCT: Bus ducts are used as connections between generators and transformers. They are used in power connections over 150 MV. The question now arises why are bus duct preferred over ordinary conductors, in such connections? In high power applications, insulation is the major problem and frequent insulation breakdown occurs. If this does happen then there is a possibility of shorting of conductors and hence serious damage may occur t both the transformer and generator. Bus ducts are hollow pipes made of aluminium. The cross-section of these ducts depends on the requirement of the customer and is done by the design department. The cross-section may have different shapes circular, square, hexagonal, octagonal etc. the casing is also made of
aluminium sheets. Although aluminium is not as good a conductor as copper still is preferred over it because it is lighter than copper. Moreover it is cheaper than copper. Bus ducts are of two types: - (i) Segregated bus ducts. (ii) Isolated bus duct In segregated bus ducts one casing is divided into three separate chambers for three phases. In the isolated bus duct each phase is provided with a separate casing. The conductor i.e. the duct is separated from the casing by porcelain or epoxies (chemical) insulators. The bus duct assembly contains three cubicles: P.T and S.P cubicle. N.G cubicle. L.A.V.T cubicle. These cubicles have the circuits and the controls of the bus duct assembly. The connections may be star or delta. The line enters from the top of the top of the top chamber. The top chamber has the neutral side and the line side. On each side there are three terminals of aluminium to provide connections. The bottom chamber lies below the top chamber. These chambers are provided just below the generator.
CENTRAL QUALITY SERVICE:
First we get acquainted with a few terms concerning this department. QUALITY It is the extent to which products and services satisfy the customer needs. QUALITY ASSURANCE All those plants and systematic action necessary to provide adequate confidence that a product or service will satisfy the given requirement is called quality assurance. QUALITY CONTROL The operational technique and activities that are used to fulfil requirement for quality are quality control. QUALITY INSPECTION Activities such as measuring, testing, gauging one or more characteristics of a product or service and comparing these with specified requirement to determine conformity are termed quality inspection.
INDUSTRIAL RELATION 1. Industrial relation:- The concept Industrial relations are viewed as the process by which people and their organisation interact at the place of work to establish the terms and conditions of employment. The term “industrial relation” commonly denotes” employee-employer relations” in both organised and unorganised sectors of the economy. Industrial relations also known as labour-management relationship or labour relations. The basic thrust of the discussion is to examine the relationship between the management, workers and the tradeunions representing the work force. 2. Features of industrial relation 1- Industrial relations do not emerge in vacuum. They are born out of “employment- relationship” in an industrial setting without the existence of two parties i.e. labour and management, this relationship cannot exist. It is the industry which provides the environment for industrial relations. 2- Industrial relations are characterized by both conflict and cooperation. This is the basics of adverse relationship. So the focus of Industrial relations is on the study of attitude, relationship, practices and procedures developed by the contending parties to resolve or at least minimize conflicts. 3- As the labours and the management do not operates in the isolation but are part of large system. So the study of industrial relation also includes vital environmental issues like technology of work place, country’s socio- economic and political environment, nation’s labour policy, attitude of trade-union, workers and employers.
Industrial relations also involve study of conditions conductive to labour, management co-operation as well as they practices and procedures required to elicit the desired the co-operation from both the parties. 5- Industrial relations also study the law, rules, regulations, agreements, award of court, tradition as well as policy framework laid down by the government for the eliciting co-operation between labour and management. 4-
2. Principles of sound industrial relations Maintenance of sound Industrial relations is as critical and difficult as that of human relation. Hence, the following principle should be followed to maintain sound Industrial relation. 1. Recognition of the dignity of the individual and of his right to personal freedom and equality of opportunity. 2. Mutual respect, confidence, understanding, goodwill and acceptance of responsibility on the part of both employer, management and workers and their representative in the exercises of the rights and duties in the operation of the industry. 3. Similarly, there has to be an understanding between various organisations of employers and who represent the management and workers.
FUNCTION OF INDUSTRIAL RELATION Function of Industrial relation include:1. Communication is to be established between workers and the management in order to bridge the traditional gulf between the two. 2. To establish a rapport between managers and the workers. 3. To ensure creative contribution of trade unions to avoid industrial conflicts, to safe-guard the interest of workers on the one hand and the management on the other hand, to avoid unhealthy, unethical atmosphere in an industry. 4. To lay down such consideration this may promote under-standing, creativity and cooperativeness to raise industrial productivity, to ensure better workers participating.
COMPONENTS OF INDUSTRIAL RELATION According to JOHN T. DUNLOP, “Industrial societies necessarily create industrial relation defined as the complex of interrelations among workers, management and workers”. There major participants or actors of Industrial relation:1. Workers and their organization. 2. Management. 3. Government.
FACTOR AFFECTING INDUSTRIAL RELATION The Industrial relation system of an organization influenced by a variety of factors. A few important are:1. Institutional Factors- Under institutional factors are include items like stage policy, labour laws, voluntary codes, collective bargaining agreements, labour unions, employers organizations/federation Act. 2. Economic Factors- Under economic factor are included economic organizations. (socialist, communist, capitalist) type of ownership, individual, company- whether MMC or domestic, government economic cycle etc. These variable influence Industrial relations in myriad ways. 3. Social Factor- Under social factor items like social group (like caste or joint family) creed, social values, norms, social status (high or low) influences industrial relation in the early stage of industrialization, these factors gradually lose their entity but one cannot overlook their importance. 4.Technological factors-Under technological factors fall items like work method, type of technology used, to cope with emerging trends etc. These factor considerably influence the industrial relation. OTHER FACTORS ARE5.PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS 6.POLITICAL FACTORS 7.ENTERPRISE-RELATED FACTORS 8.GLOBAL FACTORS
INDUSTRIAL RELATION IN B.H.E.L., JHANSI B.H.E.L. JHANSI is one of the production unit which is achieving success in every sphere of power sector and locomotives. The credit goes to both the management and workers. In BHEL JHANSI, there are mainly 7 trade unions which are in contract with the management for the workers enlistment. In JHANSI unit, the industrial relation between the management and trade unions are very sound i.e. very good industrial relations. In Jhansi unit the healthy labour-management relation develops due to following condition:(1)
In BHEL Jhansi, the existence of strong, well-organized, democratic and responsible trade unions and associations of employer. These organizations enhances job security of employees, help in increased workers participation in management and give labour a dignified role in a society. These associations in BHEL Jhansi also tend to create vantage ground for negotiation, consultations and discussions on a mutual basis which ultimately lead to good labour-management relationship.
(2) The spirit of collective bargaining and willingness to take recourse to voluntary arbitration. The collective bargaining recognizes equality of status between the two conflicting groups and prepares the ground in an atmosphere of trust and good will for discussions, consultations and negations on matters of common interest to both industry and labour. BHEL JHANSI the collective bargaining, plant discipline and union relation are the principle items which form the core of industrial relations. (3)Besides all these, welfare works whether statutory or non-statutory, provided by the BHEL MANAGEMENT. Trade-unions and employers create, maintain and improve labour-management relations.
IN BHEL JHANSI, INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY exists in which labour have the right to be associated with the management which is an important factor in this plant for maintaining very good industrial relation. IN BHEL, for industrial democracy worker’s participation in management occurs through the JCM, plant council, shop councils and other committees. The main councils and committees which exist in BHEL,JHANSI are1. PLANT COUNCIL. 2. SHOP COUNCIL – 1(Production transformer & PPC)
3. SHOP COUNCIL – 2 ( Loco PPC, BUSDUCT & FBM) 4. SHOP COUNCIL- 3 ( Design, Productivity & Main store, FCX) There are nine committee exist in BHEL JHANSI. They are1. NATIONAL FESTIVAL ORGANIZES COMMITTEE. 2. CULTURAL COMMITTEE 3. PROVIDENT FUND COMMITTEE 4. SAFETY COMMITTEE 5. CANTEEN COMMITTEE 6. MEDICAL COMMITTEE 7. TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE 8. BHEL EDUCATION COMMITTEE 9. SPORTS AND WELFARE COMMITTEE
The trade unions members become the part of such committees.
STYLE OF MANAGEMENT IN BHEL JHANSI:Every the industry believe to sound i.e. very good relationship with the workers through trade-unions as medium so was the case in BHEL, JHANSI. In BHEL JHANSI, participative style is adopted by the BHEL management. Under this type, labour is treated on an equal footing by management i.e. neither as a “commodity” nor as a “child” but as an ally and a friend, even a partner in the joint endeavor of improving the efficiency and productivity of the enterprise. • Very sound personal policies are adopted by the BHEL jhansi management so that very good industrial relation is maintained in the industry and plant go on the path of productivity and success. •
Statuary and non-statuary welfare in the worker’s favours are provided and supported by the BHEL management.
•
Besides all this, BHEL management had provided white passes, telephone connections. Mobile connection, space for office, furniture for the trade-unions so that good industrial relation being maintained.
• As a social responsibility, BHEL management had adopted a nearby village providing primary level education and facilities for the factor which maintained good relation with the trade-unions. BHEL management always supports the fair, democratic and free trade union election in jhansi unit which maintains very good Industrial relations.
TRADE-UNIONS IN B.H.E.L., JHANSI 1.BHEL SHARAMIK SANGH(BMS)It is an active union from the establishment of Jhansi unit BHEL. Sharamik sangh is very influence from the starting years of foundation in 1975 elections. It was placed at IInd position & emerged as strong opposition union. In initial era of its emergence one representative of BMS got the opportunity to represent the joint committee and also got the chance to took to management. BMS representative above got the opportunity to represent the different committees.
In July 2002 JCM election, BMS secured the highest vote stood at first position which is 33.62% of total votes. As it is secured more than 10% vote it got the chance to represent the joint committee & councils. BHEL sharmik sangh affiliated with BMS (Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh).
2. BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRICALS MAZDOOR UNION JHANSI(CITU)It is also active from the initial years of foundation but it is not much effective among workers. In recent years it gained popularity among the workers through maintaining deep personal relationship with workers to improve their living standard. In 2002, JCM elections it
secured 20.10% vote & placed at IInd position CITU has the right to talk to most & it is affiliated with CITU(CENTER OF INDIAN TRADE UNION).

TRADE
UNIONS(HMS)After the establishment of jhansi unit, there were five- trade unions which are active, heavy trade unions is one of these. If we go through the study of history of heavy electrical shramik trade unions, it was not influence in organization. But after 1985 when it stake its struggle against management for the safe guards among workers eventually it emerged as a strong unions in 1997 elections and gained IInd position. But it didn’t retain its position so as. In 2002, JCM elections placed at IIIrd position. It is affiliated with HMS (HIND MAJDOOR SABHA).
4. BHEL KARAMCHARI UNIONIt is newly born union in BHEL.

In 2002 election it emerged as new rising stars & placed 4th position among seven union.
OTHERS UNION ARE:-
5. BHEL WORKERS TRADE UNION:This union is also active from the foundation year of unit. This union was never able to make good position in its weak leadership and neutral attitude towards workers. Its effectiveness always is negligible in unit. But in last few years its gradually increasing and make the workers feel about its presence and emerged as active and aware unit. Eventually in 2002 elections, its got 119 votes and stood at 5th position. It is affiliated with AITUC (All India Trade Union Congress). 1.
BHEL EMPLOYEE UNION :-

But because of its neutral attitude towards workers and closeness to most made its unpopular among workers. Eventually they had to pay for that in 1997 election it placed at 5th place and in 2002 election it continue to loose its reputation and placed at 6th position. It got only 78 votes which was only 6.67% of total votes. It is affiliated with INTUC (The Indian National Trade Union Congress). 2.
BHEL KARAMCHARI SANGH :-

These are the certain provisions in BHEL Jhansi which maintains a “HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP” between “LABOUR – MANAGEMENT”.
One of the important factor which is also very important in maintaining good industrial relationship is that in BHEL Jhansi every provision given in factory act and labour loss or in other acts is followed by management.
WELFARE FACILITIES Welfare service may broadly be classified into two categories:1. Intramural activities as rest centers, canteens, uniforms, library, medical aid, subsidized food, and shift allowance etc.
2. Extramural activities which are undertaken outside the establishment such as family planning, child welfare, cooperative stores, credit societies, vocational guidance, holiday homes, leave travel facilities, transport to and from the place of work etc. Labour welfare work may also be divided in to two categories:1. Statutory welfare work comprising the legal provisions in various pieces of labour legislation.
2. Voluntary welfare work includes those activities, which are undertaken by employers for their workers voluntarily. Many employers now a day offers the following welfare amenities voluntarily.
Statutory Employee’s Welfare Provision Employers are required to offer welfare facilities to workers under different labour laws. These are given below:
The Factories Act 1948 This act provides the following services to worker: • Washing facilities to male and female workers separately. • Facilities for storing and during clothes. • Facilities for occasional rest for workers who work in a standing position for long hours. • First aid boxes or cup boards one for every 150 workers and the ambulance facilities if there are more than 500 workers. • Canteens, where there are more than 250 workers. Shelters, rest rooms and lunchrooms where over 150 workers are employed. • Creche, if 30 or more workers are employed. • Welfare officer, if 500 or more workers are employed.
Non-Statutory Employees Welfare (1)
Education:
A scheme of workers education was envisaged on all India bases by the government of India, way back in 1957. The scheme had four main objectives. • To develop strong unions through trained officials and more enlightened members. • To develop leadership from the rank and file. • To equip organised labour to take its place in 9 democratic societies and discharge its social and economic function. • To promote among workers a greater understanding of the problems of their economic environment and their privileges and obligations as unions members and official and as citizen. After assessing the scheme the National Commission on labour, 1969 (NCL) felt that scheme is not perfect and requires improvement. The committee on labour welfare 1969 recommended that trade unions should assume on active role in educating workers and run school for promoting literacy among the children of workers. To be effective the programme of workers education should be formulated administered and implemented by the trade union themselves.
(2) Transportation: The committee on labour welfare 1969, recommended the provision of transport facilities to workers so that they can reach the work place punctually and comfortable, most employers have, how even recognised the workers need for transport services and therefore responded favourably by providing company owned/leased vehicles to workers in major industrial centers- especially in the private sector. They have also come out with innovative financing schemes in recent times enabling workers to buy their own bicycle, scooters, motorcycle etc.
(3)
Housing:
Housing is the primary need of a family in civilized life without of roof to cover his head, the worker naturally feels frustrated about his poor standard of living in big cities. Good houses mean possibility of home life happiness and health; bad houses spell squalor, drink, diseases, immorality crime etc. Overcrowding of people in dark quarter in slum areas is mainly responsible for the outbreak of tuberculosis. According to Radha Kamal Mukherjee “In the thousand slums of the industrial centres, manhood is unquestiable brutalised womanhood dishonoured and childhood poisoned at its very source. Recognising the need for housing accommodation. An industrial housing scheme was introduced in 1952. Under this scheme the central government offers loans to industrial workers for constructing houses at confessional rates. The low-income grouphousing scheme (1954) subsidized housing scheme for economically weaker section of society (1952). Rural house site-cum-hut construction scheme for landless workers (1972) has been introduced to reduce the housing shortage to workers. The government has also introduced housing scheme for winners and plantation workers in early 50s. Housing scheme for dockworkers was drawn up in 1964. To reduce shortage of housing units in major industrial centers the central government must extend it’s helping hand in a big way. Employers and housing finance institution must also join hand to improve the lot of workers. The problem of housing in India is of such a nasty climenslon that no single agency can reasonably be expected to solve it.
Other facilities: Other amenities such as washing facilities, drinking water provision of first aid box, rest room, canteens, recreation centres have more or less, because statutory obligation of employers now a days. Consumer cooperative societies have also been flooded in various units to meet the credit needs of industrial workers.
Employers: Enlightened employers like TISCO, Hindustan lever, Godrej, L&T Siemens, Voltas, Philips, HMTY, LIC, and B.H.E.L. have undertaken welfare activities in the interest of workers. The management of TISCO runs a well-equipped hospital in Jamshedpur, supported by health centers and dispensaries in different residential gymnasiums. Clubs, & school are also set up by TISCO for the benefit of workers. Employers association have also joined hand with employers in doing some welfare work for their workers. The Indian jute mill Association, The Bombay mill owner Association are worth mentioning here medical educational recreation facilities are also extended in paper, sugar, steel, engineering industries also by the “employers to employers” association.

CONCLUSION
After analysis every aspect by the data obtained through personal interview questionnaires, the main substance that is extracted is that “a very healthy industrial relationship is maintaining between the trade unions and management in B.H.E.L. Jhansi”. Trade unions are essential part of the organization, without the mediation of trade union management can’t communicate with the workers properly because trade unions are close to the workers so they can easily interact with them, can understand their problems in better manner. In case of the BHEL all the seven trade unions believes in peaceful table talk none of them involves in any kind of destruction negative activities. Although workers are not fully satisfied with the trade union’s polices but still they consider that unions play important role in the organization for their welfare. Trade union act as bargainers for demanding the fair wages from management for them and also act as enemies if they find that management is trying to exploit the workers. To achieve their objective, trade union may employ a variety of means- the means depend upon the attitude of the management regarding the matter. On the other hand, participative type of management occurs in B.H.E.L. Jhansi. Under this type, labour is treated as equal footing by the management that is neither as a “commodity nor as a child but as an ally and a friend”, even a partner in the joint endeavour of improving the efficiency and productivity of the enterprise. Every police which is made by the management has got the full support of the trade union which was in power. Management also accept the importance of the trade union in an enterprise.
SOME MORE SUGGESTIONS FOR ORGANIZATION 1. Number of trade union must be decreased so as to reduce the inter rivalry and intra rivalry in the organization. 2. Management must talk to representative of trade unions timely to make them aware of the new polices. 3. Management must have complete faith on the workers. 4. Management and trade union must work as team and provide workers adequate support to enhance their efficiency. 5. Higher management should need to reduce the lower grade management so that it can reduce the over-head. 6. Management should adopt fair polices for all workers. 7. Management should constitute a grievance committee which can understand the problem of workers and recommend the solution to management. 8. Adopt positive attitude towards workers. 9. Surveys regarding the problems in plant should be done frequently. 10. Management should give equal respect for the suggestion for problems from the worker level. By acting on the above suggestion by both “trade union and management”, a healthy INDUSTRIAL RELATIONSHIP will be maintained at B.H.E.L. JHANSI.
FOR MANAGEMENT 1. Management should deal strictly for stopping of corruption which occur in the production line managers occasionally. So that workers remain satisfy. 2. Selection of right person at right place at right time should adopted by the management. 3. Fair selection of sports men should done by committees without any pressure.
