'Dear - Pratik',
Here the - 'Proximate - Cause - Theory' - will have to be 'applied'.
Let us arrange the happenings in a - 'sequence': -
(1)
Due to failure of spring mechanism of a Jaw Connection in an Air Circuit Breaker, during switching in Unit 3 ACB...
(2) Explosion.
(3) Fire - Ball.
(4)
Adjacent Units 1, 2, 4 & 5 got damaged, due to consequent fireball and blast force.
(5) Disintegration of Bus Bar due to Fireball - Heat - & - Blast - Force.
(6) Which in turn, caused back - flow of Current from the generator towards the Transformer.
(7)
This backflow caused damages - (short circuit - internal windings, Transformer oil, etc).
So, the Proximate Cause of Transformer Damage was Backflow of Current, which was caused by the disintegration of the busbar, which was because of the - 'Fire - Heat / Blast - Force'.
The cause marked in 'Blue' above, is covered in the 'Fire - Policy'.
So, the Claim for Transformer - Damage is covered.
Here, however, we need to 'check' with some - 'Electrical - Engineer', whether the backflow current is supposed to 'trip' the Transformer, to - 'protect' - it from the - 'Backflow - Current'.
If that is the case, then we need to check if such protection was provided & it did not function.
If it did not function then if, the - 'Such - Protection - Mechanism' - went under a - 'breakdown'.
If it was under a breakdown then, the transformer damage claim is not payable.
But if such a tripping mechanism was not provided/installed, then the claim becomes payable.
Regards,
Abhay.
N.B. :- I will also consult my old senior colleague, who is an - 'Electrical - Engineer'.
