Commentary Notes:
1. The kVA rating specified on the data sheet has been increased (de-rated) as
required by Saudi Aramco Engineering Standards to obtain a satisfactory site
rating for ambient temperatures higher than 30°C.
2. Specified transformer ratings are based on ANSI standard 65°C rise over a
30°C average ambient.
3. Vendor should not consider additional de-rating beyond what is listed on the
data sheet.
4 (Addition-2) Transformers are subject to sand and dust storms, salt laden
winds and fog, and airborne chemical contaminants from industrial process
plants. The airborne salt levels of NaC1 may be 300 ppm and of MgC1
50 ppm.
4.2 (Addition-1) Power transformers shall be designed such that the actual OA
and FA derating factors do not exceed the ANSI Loading Guidelines for
continuous operation at unusual ambient temperatures without reducing
normal life expectancy.

The Vendor shall provide in Data Schedule 2 as part of his Bid the
guaranteed values of load and no-load losses including tolerances as per IEC
