4.16.1.1

Approximately 1000 KVA of station service load will be installed on the autotransformer tertiary. An additional 60 MVA of reactive compensation, either reactive or capacitive, may be installed in the future. The autotransformer shall be capable of simultaneous three winding operation provided that the MVA rating of any particular set of terminals is not exceeded and that the current in the common winding does not exceed the 65 degree C rise, ONAN/ONAF/ONAF ratings. (Common winding current equals rated LV current minus Series Winding current at highest voltage tap connection). Autotransformer overload capability shall be 110% of maximum forced cooled rating for a period of four (4) continuous hours without increased loss of life. Components such as bushings, tap changers, winding leads, oil expansion capacity, gasketing, stray flux heating, etc. shall not be the limiting factors in the autotransformers capability to meet overloads. This design overload capability will be at an average ambient temperature of 30C during overload and an average ambient temperature during the 24-hour period not exceeding 40C. This design overload capability will be based on a transformer loading condition of 90% of the maximum forced cooled rating during the 24 hour period surrounding the overload. The autotransformer shall be capable of operating above rated voltage as specified by IEEE C57.12. The Contractor shall supply information to help LCRA TSC determine loading capacity and loss of life for the autotransformer. A minimum requirement for this information is as defined in the IEEE C57.115 standard, section 2.6. 1. Top-oil temperature rise over ambient temperature 2. Bottom-oil temperature rise over ambient temperature 3. Average conductor temperature rise over ambient temperature 4. Hottest-spot conductor temperature rise over ambient temperature 5. Load loss at rated load 6. No load loss 7. Confirmation of oil flow design 5

The DETC shall be on the high voltage end of the series winding. (See Section 4.17.3) Load Tap Changer (LTC): Common End of Series Winding: LTC +/- 10%. Sixteen 5/8% steps above and Sixteen 5/8% steps below neutral position. (See section 4.17.4) Common Winding (LV): Tertiary Winding (TV): 4.16.4 No Taps Required No Taps Required

Dielectric Insulation Levels: Autotransformer shall be designed to withstand the following impulse levels based on IEEE C57.12 Table 5.

See Test section for required tests. 4.16.5 Vector Relations: Standard vector relationships shall be used. 4.16.6 Transformer Impedance Impedance shall be as designated on the Purchasers Purchase Order Release.

Tertiary shall be completely self protected. Tertiary impedance shall be designed so the maximum allowable fault on the tertiary does not exceed 750 MVA based on the 345kV and 138kV busses being infinite. If internal reactors are used to limit tertiary short circuit currents, those reactors shall be designed and constructed by the autotransformer contractor using the same high standards as the main windings. Data shall be submitted by the contractor to verify the short circuit capability of the reactor design. 4.16.7 Sound Level: Autotransformer sound level shall not exceed 77dB for Oil Natural Air Natural (ONAN) rating and 80dB for maximum forced cooling rating as measured by procedures in NEMA TR1 for standard average audible sound levels. 4.16.8 Losses: Autotransformer proposals will be evaluated based on total owning costs, including the cost of losses. The following costs will be used to evaluate losses: No-Load: Load Loss: Aux. Loss: $3,020/KW $1,225/KW $810/KW

Guaranteed no-load and load losses shall be at rated voltage and Oil Natural Air Natural (ONAN) loading and at the 1 raise LTC position, or at the 0 LTC position whichever has the highest no-load losses. Guaranteed auxiliary losses shall be at maximum forced cooled rating. Factory tests that yield losses exceeding those guaranteed in the Proposal shall result in a credit to LCRA TSC. The credit will amount to the differences (no-load and load losses only) between the tested and guaranteed losses times the appropriate loss cost. Auxiliary losses will not be used in the credit calculations. No price adjustment will be given to the Contractor for losses less than those guaranteed. The Contractor shall submit with their proposal, the percentage maximum total measurement error for the no load loss measurement and the load loss measurement systems. The errors must contain all components of the error including probable calibration errors and other uncertainties in the measurement system. The data shall be traceable to the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology and calculated per Section 8 of NBS Technical Note 1204. A system check to insure that all errors have been properly applied may be required. Failure to submit a loss measurement system error or the submission of an error that is obviously erroneous will result in the rejection of the proposal. The maximum loss measurement error that is acceptable is + 3 percent as per IEEE C57.12.00-1993. Loss measurement errors greater than + 3 percent will result in the rejection of the Contractors proposal. 4.16.9 Short Circuit Requirements: The autotransformer shall be capable of withstanding the maximum current and associated mechanical and thermal stresses produced by external short circuits under the conditions specified in IEEE C57.12.00 Section 12. 7

The autotransformer shall meet or exceed the requirements of IEEE C57.12.00, Section 7, Short Circuit Characteristics, limited to two seconds. The Contractor shall also show evidence that the design will meet or exceed the requirements stated by either: (1) Submitting certified test reports covering two fully offset shorts per phase at rated voltage with the short circuit current limited only by the autotransformer impedance on a prototype unit, or (2) Submitting data and drawings showing that the successful short circuit strength design has been accomplished. The autotransformer shall be self-protecting without the aid of external impedance from a through fault standpoint. This design criteria shall apply to primary, secondary, and tertiary windings. 4.16.10 Auxiliary Power: 4.16.10.1 A 120/240 volt, 4-wire delta power supply will be provided to handle both three-phase and single-phase loads.

In the event that the front exceeds 2.0 s and the tail is less than 40 s, the increases in required test voltage shall be applied additively, e.g., a 10 % increase for the front and 4 % increase for the tail result in a required increase of 14 % in the crest test voltage.

(5) Identification as an Approval, Certified for Construction, or Final As-Built drawing. (6) Date of transmittal. FOR APPROVAL DRAWINGS The drawings listed below shall be submitted folded and collated in sets for approval. Drawings, which are not approved and/or request a revision by the LCRA TSC, shall be re-submitted to the LCRA TSC for final approval. All drawings in the six categories listed below must be submitted on one transmittal. The LCRA TSC will not accept partial submittals at different dates. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) Outline - showing location of all external parts and accessories Nameplate Wiring schematic and connection diagrams (including LTC diagrams) Control panel layout Bushing and arrester outline drawings Ground bar detail drawing per section 4.18.3.2 Center of gravity, fully assembled Center of gravity, as shipped

The Contractor shall furnish six (6) sets of prints of all drawings applicable to this order to LCRA TSC for review and approval. The Contractor shall follow the drawing formats shown in Specification Appendix 2 when developing the wiring and connection drawings for this autotransformer. LCRA TSC will return one set of drawings stamped "APPROVED AS NOTED". The Contractor will make corrections to the drawings as noted and return the modified drawings to LCRA TSC as soon as possible. Drawing changes will be transmitted to the Contractor by mail, E-Mail, or handed to the Contractor at the design review meeting. The drawing review by LCRA TSC does not relieve Contractor of responsibility of (1) strict adherence to the specifications except where deviation is fully described in writing by LCRA TSC and (2) for corrections of engineering, draftsmanship, design, workmanship, materials, and all other matters and liabilities hereunder, such as product liability and delivery schedule. Approval drawings shall also be supplied in AutoCAD 2012 or DXF format for an IBMcompatible PC. All drawing files shall be submitted on a CD-ROM labeled with all transmittal information.
