mechanical stress etc., and any additional equipment found to be necessary to meet these
requirements shall be deemed to have been included in the Contract Price.
The layout and design of plant and equipment on substation sites shall make provision for the

Insulation creepage distance shall be as per relevant IEC Standards.
The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that insulation co-ordination in accordance with
recommendation of IEC-71 is achieved. Dynamic and temporary over voltages shall be assumed
to be in accordance with normally accepted IEC levels.
33 kV Gas Insulated SF6/Vacuum Circuit Breaker shall be Indoor, Metal clad, dust & vermin proof,

shall be filled with insulating gas and fitted with gas monitoring device with contact. SF6 may be
used as an insulating medium, not for quenching.
All control and monitoring elements should be accessible from the front.
Each sealed-off gas compartment must have its own pressure relief facility, which in event of
arcing fault prevents uncontrolled rupturing of the compartment. The manufacturer must
guarantee an adequate pressure reserve between the operating value of the pressure relief and
the rupturing pressure of the vessels. The pressure relief facilities must limit the effects of a fault
arc to one compartment. Gas escaping under pressure must divert in a direction that is not
dangerous for operating personnel; the same applies to fixed parts (rupture diaphragms etc).
Effecctive Pressure Monitoring system shall be provided in the front of GIS Panel.

must not exceed 1% per year and compartment. The filling pressure must be selected so that
after thirty years of operation the full test voltages can still be withstand, without any topping up.

busbar is to be located in a metalclad compartment.
The switchgear must be extendable at both ends of the bus bars.
The Vacuum Circuit Breaker as a making/breaking unit, including operating mechanism, must be
maintenance free.
The three-position disconnector (ON-OFF EARTH) is to reduce the number of functional
elements within the encapsulation and together with the circuit breaker, provide make-proof
earthing.

are to be insulated against the earthed housing by SF 6 gas.
The Transformers are to be exchangeable toroidal-core transformers which are to be used
outside the SF6 encapsulation so that they are not exposed to dielectric stress.
The Medium Voltage section must be maintenance free and immune to environmental influences.
The installation must be resistant to accidental arcs.
All switches are to be operated from the front. The circuit breakers must be remotely controllable.

uncontrolled bursting of the gas compartment when an accidental arc occurs. The manufacturer

must guarantee a sufficient pressure reserve between the operating pressure of the pressure
relief devices and the bursting pressure of the container.
The gas compartment must be tightly sealed. The filling pressure is to be such that at least 30
years service is guaranteed without the necessity of refilling.
The pressure of the SF6 gas is to be monitored inside the gas compartment by means of
pressure-gauge boxes. In this way, complete temperature compensation can be achieved.
Locking Devices
Three-position disconnectors (ON- OFF- EARTH) must be mechanically locked against the circuit
breaker
The inductive type Cast-resin insulated Voltage transformer shall be mounted outside the primary
enclosure. The VTs can be plugged into the bus bar. The Voltage transformer on bus bar must be
designed for 80% Power frequency withstand voltage so that repeat tests can be carried out on

be capable of withstanding over 100% power frequency withstand voltage under normal operating
conditions.
The LV compartment shall be made of high quality sheet steel with powdered coated painting with

TIMES FOR DELIVERY AND COMPLETION

The individual dates all contractually binding.
The times given under column D are the commissioning target dates at present planned to be
achieved and may be the subject of mutual adjustment.
Column A details the earliest dates by which access to site can be given for storage purposes.
The times entered under column B are to be dates guaranteed for arrival at site for the first
shipment of parts for the circuits in question being also the dates when the contract requires
access to the site for plant erection, to the extent necessary to enable him to proceed with work to
meet the dates under column C guaranteed for complete delivery, erection and commissioning of
the shipment.
The times include all necessary control, relay metering , auxiliary power ancillary equipment to
enable the respective circuit or item of plant to be completely commissioned and put into
commercial operation, together with such other associated equipment, e.g. busbars, etc. as will
ensure that subsequent shutdown are unnecessary or at least only of a temporary or short time
nature.
