The overloads are in accordance with AS 2374.7. Any specific limitations as per
Clauses 1.6 and 1.7 of AS 2374.7 shall be met.

5.1.3

The transformers shall be capable of supplying the rated power continuously on


any tap position, without exceeding reduced temperature rise limits to those
specified in AS 2374.2. The reduced temperature rise limits are as follows:

Top oil temperature rise


Average winding temperature rise (ON or OF transformers)
Average winding temperature rise (OD transformers)

5.1.4

In an emergency, the transformers may be overloaded to a maximum of 1.5 times


the highest nameplate rating on any tapping for up to 2 hours after continuous
operation at 0.6 times this nameplate rating. The resulting winding hot spot
temperature should not exceed 150C when the ambient temperature is 30C.
Note also that where such transformers are located in a two-transformer
substation, ENERGEX may increase the loading above 1.5 p.u. for a period of up
to ten (10) minutes. This would only occur in the event of a transformer failure
and in such cases the tap-changer would remain inoperable until load is reduced
to 1.5 p.u. The maximum recommended rating under such circumstances shall
be stated in the guaranteed performance schedule. The figures supplied will aid
in the determination of what load needs to be shed instantaneously and what can
be transferred within the 10 minute period (bringing load on the transformer back
to 1.5 p.u. ).
Comments shall be made on whether the tap-changer needs to remain on a fixed
tap position during this condition. Comments shall also be made on how the
above is to be achieved, the design hot spot winding gradient to be used and the
affect this requirement has on the cost of the transformer.

5.1.5

Evidence is to be furnished that the bushings, tap changers, leads and other
current carrying parts are capable of carrying the 150% overloads without
excessive ageing.

5.1.6

The transformer shall be designed as a constant flux voltage variation in


accordance with AS 60076.1. The magnetising current shall be as low as is
consistent with good practice.
The transformer shall be suitable for continuous operation at 110% of rated
tapping voltage applied to any tap of the tapped winding. At no time shall the
transformer saturate for continuous operation at 110% of rated tapping voltage
on any tap of the tapped winding.

5.2

5.4.1
5.5

Certain transformers have been specified as requiring reduced sound levels in


order to eliminate the need for installing sound enclosures. For these items, the
average sound pressure level is not to exceed 60 dBA (with no tap-changer
operation). To limit the sound levels during tap-changing operations, the addition
of baffle systems to the tap changer compartment should be considered.

Radio and Television Interference


The transformers shall not cause any perceptible radio or television interference.

Transformer Losses

5.5.1

Guaranteed load and no-load loss figures are to be specified in Attachment 1.

5.5.2

Load losses are to be corrected to a reference temperature of 75oC.

5.5.3

In evaluating the tenders, ENERGEX will capitalise the guaranteed losses and so
determine the economic advantages of the transformers offered. Capitalisation
of losses will be based on the guaranteed losses at the required power rating for
each item as stated in Attachment "1". Load losses will be those specified on the
principal tapping. For this contract, the following values will be used for the
purpose of making a fair economic comparison:
F (No-load loss)
C (Load loss)

=
=

$2 460/kW
$475/kW

F and C are the $/kW capitalisation figures for the no-load and load losses
respectively.
5.5.4

As specified in AS 60076.1, the maximum allowable tolerance for the total losses
for all transformers to be supplied under this contract is +10%. For any
transformer, the maximum allowable tolerance for either the no-load loss or load
loss is +15%, provided that the total loss meets the above requirement of +10%.
Where the total loss exceeds the +10 % tolerance or either the no-load loss or
load loss exceeds the +15 % tolerance, ENERGEX reserves the right to reject
the unit. As an alternative, the unit may be accepted with the application of
Liquidated Damages as described in the Liquidated Damages portion of the
Standing Order.

6.3

Radiators

6.3.1

Where free standing radiators are required, the feet of the mounting frame and
any associated pipework supports shall be Grade 304 stainless steel.

6.3.2

With reference to Section 7.4 and Clause 13.3.3, transformers incorporating 110
kV or 132 kV windings will be protected by Tank Earth Fault Protection. This
protection requires the feet of the radiator mounting frame and associated
pipework supports to be insulated from the radiator foundation. This requirement
needs to be taken into consideration when designing these structures.

6.3.3

It shall be possible to remove or install the radiators at all times keeping the
transformer tank filled with oil. Isolating valves shall be provided where
necessary to meet this requirement and shall be supplied complete with blankingoff plates.

6.3.4

Each radiator shall be fitted with drain and bleed plugs.

6.3.5

The radiator banks shall be hot dip galvanised in accordance with Australian
Standard AS/NZS 4680.

6.3.6

ENERGEX may require the erection of a sound enclosure around the


transformers. In such cases the transformers with free standing radiators shall
be required.
Contractors shall note the following requirements in relation to the free standing
radiators for these items:

The sound enclosure for 110/33 kV and 132/33 kV transformers shall be in


accordance with Drawing Numbers PLSPEC-GA013-06 and PLSPECGA013-09.

The sound enclosure for the 110/11 kV and 132/11 kV transformers shall be
in accordance with Drawing Number PLSPEC-GA013-05.

The sound enclosure for 33/11 kV transformers shall be in accordance with


Drawing Numbers PLSPEC-GA013-05 and PLSPEC-GA013-08.

The transformers shall therefore meet the dimensional limitations shown on


the above drawings.

Because of site limitations, the radiator banks may need to be positioned in


any of the alternative locations indicated on the applicable drawings
(position to be advised once known).

The design of the transformer cooling shall be such that when the
transformer is installed in a closed sound enclosure, the full rating will still
be obtained without exceeding any temperature rise limits.

6.3.7

6.4

ENERGEX may erect an aesthetic enclosure around the radiator bank of


33/11 kV transformers (refer Drawing Numbers PLSPEC-GA013-05 and
PLSPEC-GA013-08) and Contractors shall advise the amount of free space
(m2) to be incorporated in the enclosure around the radiators necessary to
avoid derating of the transformer. This free space would most likely be
achieved by louvres in the enclosure. Contractors are to comment on this
proposal.

ENERGEX Drawings PLSPEC-GA013-05, PLSPEC-GA013-06, PLSPECGA013-08 and PLSPEC-GA013-09 show the standard spacings that are required
between the transformer tank and the radiators in the three alternative positions.
Where transformers are to be installed as replacements in existing sites or into
new non-standard sites, the standard spacings as specified in the above
drawings may not be available. For these cases, specific designs will be required
to suit the location. New sets of general arrangement drawings will be required to
cover these designs. If applicable, notification of a change from the standard
design will be advised as soon as possible after ordering.

Valves

6.4.1

All isolating valves shall be an approved butterfly type and all drain filling and
circulating valves shall be an approved gate type. Manufacturer's name and test
certificates shall be provided. Other types of valves shall not be used unless
approved by ENERGEX.

6.4.2

A drain valve shall be fitted to each transformer to completely drain the main
tank.

6.4.3

A circulating valve shall be fitted in the wall of the transformer adjacent to the lid
and diagonally opposite the drain valve. Note: For transformers up to 15MV.A
the drain and circulating valves must be a minimum size of 25 NB. For
transformers 15MV.A and above, the drain and circulating valves must be a
minimum size of 50 NB.

6.4.4

possible, magnetic symmetry of the windings.

6.5.3

Windings shall be constructed from copper only. Connectors and terminals are to
be made from copper or copper alloys.

6.5.4

Windings must be dried, compressed, sized and clamped so that they remain
tight in service.

6.5.5

The core shall be insulated from its supporting framework and such insulation
shall be capable of withstanding for one minute a voltage of 5kV.
For all transformers rated 30 MVA or greater, the transformer core shall be
earthed to the tank at one point only. This shall be achieved by taking the earth
from the core via an insulating gland to an externally mounted removable earth

Sacrificial Paper Specimens for Paper Insulated Windings


Four representative specimens of kraft paper, recovered from surplus winding
conductor used in the transformer, shall be made up as follows:
6.7.1.1

Four layers of the kraft paper shall be taped, half lapped, onto a linear
piece of insulating material of approximate length 100 mm. The
shape of the piece (eg. round or rectangular with rounded corners)
shall allow the paper to be wound taut without mechanical damage.
The ends shall be bound securely.

6.7.1.2

The four specimens shall be attached to, and dried out with the
transformer. The Contractor will use one sample for testing for the
degree of polymerisation at the end of the dryout. A maximum of a
20% decrease in the degree of polymerisation will be allowed. The
three remaining specimens shall then be located near the top of the
transformer, attached securely to the transformer in a position where
it is exposed to the moving oil stream and accessible from an
inspection hatch (maximum distance 400mm) without the need to
lower the oil below the top of the winding.

The location of the paper samples shall be shown on arrangement drawings and
the manuals supplied with the transformer shall include a description of the
process by which samples may be obtained and the transformer returned to
serviceable condition.

Conservator

6.8.1

The conservator shall have sufficient capacity to keep the transformer tank filled

shall not be permitted to contaminate oil in the transformer tank.

6.8.4

Each conservator compartment shall be fitted with a sump to trap all sludge, thick
oil and water and prevent it from entering the transformer or tap-changer tank.

6.8.5

Depending upon whether it has one or two compartments, the conservator shall
be fitted with a detachable end plate at one or both end/s respectively.

6.8.6

The internal surfaces of the conservator shall be treated to resist corrosion.

6.8.7

The air space in the main tank conservator section shall not come into contact
with the air space in the OLTC conservator due to a common breathing
arrangement or for any other reason. This is in order to prevent contamination of
DGA results on the main transformer.

6.9

Conservator Bladders

6.9.1

All transformers shall include bladders connected to breather pipes in the


conservator to prevent the ingress of moisture into the oil. Where separate
sections are used for the main tank and the OLTC tank, separate bladders are to

specified in Section 6.1.1 while operating on the lowest ratio tapping.

6.11.1.5

The on-load tap-changer shall be the high-speed resistance type.

6.11.1.6

The on-load tap-changer shall be arranged so that the same tapping


on each of the three phases is selected at any one time. When a
change of tapping is commanded, the tappings of all three phases
shall change simultaneously, one step at a time. Variation of voltage
during a change of tapping shall be smooth causing minimum
disturbance to line conditions. An oscillogram showing typical voltage
variations during a change of tapping taken from similar equipment to
that offered shall be provided if required by ENERGEX during the
tender evaluation period.

6.11.1.7

The on-load tap-changer offered shall be, where possible, a robust


maintenance free unit eg a Maschinenfabrik Reinhausen (MR)
vacuum style tap-changer or equivalent. To limit the number of
variations in tap-changer models, common models should be used as
far as practical. For example, the same model tap-changer could be
considered for all 60 MV.A and 80 MV.A transformers. Where
vacuum OLTCs are not available, units requiring minimum
maintenance shall be offered. ENERGEX has a preference for intank OLTCs with a proven reliability.

6.11.1.8

The on-load tap-changer shall not cause any change of phase-angle


at any time.

6.11.1.9

The on-load tap-changer shall be capable of either mechanical or

maintenance without the need for scaffolding. Also the access cover
shall be hinged to remove the risk of lifting injury.
6.11.2

Diverter Switches
6.11.2.1

The tap-changer diverter switches shall be immersed in oil in a tank


separate from the transformer tank.

6.11.2.2

Inspection, removal and maintenance of the diverter switches shall be


possible without lowering the level of oil in the transformer tank.

6.11.2.3

If the tender provides for diverter switches and tapping selectors


which must be withdrawn from the top of the transformer for removal,
the Contractor shall provide details for their removal with the height
limitation stated.
Such details shall include the clearance, with allowance for slings, etc.
above the transformer required together with the weight to be lifted.

6.11.3

Tap-Changer Power Actuating Mechanism and Associated Switchgear


6.11.3.1

The on-load tap-changer shall incorporate a power actuating


mechanism and associated control circuitry housed in a weather
proof and vermin proof cubicle with a hinged access door, hereafter
referred to as the OLTC mechanism box.

6.11.3.2

adequately rated 415 volt, 3 phase, 50Hz electric motor. The power
actuated 3-phase motor shall be protected against overload and
single phasing by a hand reset thermal overload relay that
incorporates a changeover alarm contact.

6.11.3.3

The power actuating mechanism shall be arranged so that, once a


tap change is initiated, the mechanism will not stop part way through
or overrun any step. If necessary, a self-aligning brake with provision
for taking up wear shall be fitted to the mechanism to prevent
overrun.

6.11.3.4

A mechanical tap position indicator shall at all times clearly indicate


the currently selected tap.

6.11.3.5

Maximum and minimum position indicators shall be fitted to show the


extreme taps reached since the indicators were last reset. Such
indicators shall easily be read and readily reset without the removal of
covers.

6.11.3.6

The number of tap-charger operations shall be recorded by a


mechanical counter of not less than five digits.

6.11.3.7

Steps shall be taken to ensure that the mechanism cannot be driven


by any means beyond the top or bottom tap positions.

6.11.3.8

The OLTC mechanism box shall be fitted with an anti-condensation


heater suitable for continuous operation from a 240 V, 50 Hz supply.
The heater circuit shall incorporate an on-off switch and a thermostat

Hinged panels carrying live terminals shall be fitted with a rear cover
of suitable material which completely surrounds all live parts thus
preventing access to live terminals without first removing the whole
cover.
6.11.3.12 A two-position control selector switch located in the OLTC
mechanism box shall govern operation of the control circuitry. With
the control selector switch in the 'local' position, the control circuitry
shall respond to 'raise' and 'lower' commands generated by a control
switch provided by the Contractor and located in the OLTC
mechanism box. With the control selector switch in the 'normal'
position, the control circuitry shall respond to 'raise' and 'lower'
commands generated by ENERGEXs equipment.
6.11.3.13 The control circuitry shall be arranged so that, once a tap change is
initiated, the circuit will self seal and complete the change irrespective
of any change of input command. At the completion of each step, the
sealing circuit shall be opened, allowing the mechanism to come to
rest. A stepping circuit shall be incorporated so that continuous
assertion of a 'raise' or 'lower' input command will not cause the
