66 kV Surge Arrestors 1.3 SERVICE CONDITION 1.3.1 SA shall, in all respects, be suitable for operation under the service conditions stated in the RFQ. 1.3.2 The SA shall be fully stabilized thermally to give a life expectancy of twenty five (25) years under site conditions and take care of effect of direct solar radiation. Periodic maintenance interval shall be greater than 5 years.

2.0

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS 2.1 DUTY REQUIREMENTS 2.1.1 The Surge Arresters (SA) shall be capable of discharging over-voltages occurring due to switching of unloaded transformers, reactors and long lines. 2.1.2 The reference current of SA shall be high enough to eliminate the influence of grading and stray capacitance on the measured reference voltage. Values and calculations shall be furnished with offer. 2.1.3 The SA shall protect power transformers, circuit breakers, disconnecting switches, instrument transformers, shunt reactors, etc with insulation levels specified in this specification. 2.1.4 The SA shall be capable of withstanding meteorological and short circuit forces under site conditions. 2.2 CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES 2.2.1 Each Surge Arrester (SA) shall be hermetically sealed single phase, heavy duty, station class unit. 2.2.2 The non linear blocks shall be sintered metal oxide (ZnO) material. The SA construction shall be robust with excellent mechanical and electrical properties. 2.2.3 SAs shall have pressure relief devices and arc diverting ports suitable for preventing shattering of porcelain housing and to provide path for flow of rated fault currents in the event of SA failure. 2.2.4 The SA shall not fail due to porcelain contamination.

66 kV Surge Arrestors 2.2.5 Seals shall be effectively maintained even when SA discharges rated lightning current. 2.2.6 Outer insulator shall be silicone polymer or porcelain type and so coordinated that external flashover will not occur due to application of any impulse or switching surge voltage up to maximum design value for SA. 2.2.7 2.2.8 The end fittings shall be non-magnetic and of corrosion proof material. The Contractor shall furnish the following: The heat treatment cycle details with necessary quality checks used for individual blocks along with insulation layer formed across each block. Metalizing coating thickness for reduced resistance between adjacent discs along with procedure for checking the same. Details of thermal stability test for uniform distribution of current on individual discs. Detailed energy calculations to prove thermal capability of discs.

3.0

SPARE PARTS Bidder shall submit list of spares recommended by him for satisfactory operation of the surge arrestors for first two (2) years and rate for each spare shall also be quoted. The owner will decide the actual quantity of spare parts to be ordered on the basis of the prices of the spare parts, quoted by the bidder.

4.0

FITTINGS AND ACCESSORIES a) b) c) Each SA shall be complete with insulating base for mounting on structure. SAs shall be provided with grading and/or corona rings as required. Self contained discharge counters, suitably enclosed for outdoor use (IP: 55 degree of protection) and requiring no auxiliary or battery supply shall be fitted with each SA along with necessary connections to SA and earth. The connection from the surge arrestor to monitor shall be carried out by insulated cable and adequately supported from the structure by suitable insulators. Suitable leakage current meters shall also be supplied in the same enclosure. The reading of milli-ammeter and counter shall be visible through an inspection glass panel to a man standing on ground.

66 kV Surge Arrestors d) A pressure relief vent/suitable provision shall be made to prevent pressure build up. The earth connection for the surge arrestor shall be carried out in such a manner so that the discharge current path is directed to earth and the path through structure is avoided. e) The Contractor shall also supply micro-processor based maintenance equipment for monitoring resistive current of SA. The equipment shall be able to measure the resistive current without any disconnection of the earthing circuit. The equipment shall be adequately shielded for measurements in a charged switchyard. If portable equipment is not available then the measurement shall be possible for all the arrestors.

5.0

TESTS The surge arrestors shall confirm to type tests and shall be subjected to routine and type tests in accordance with the relevant IEC/IS.
