In general, all hardware and accessories shall be made from corrosion resistant materials.
Transformers of the same type and rating shall be interchangeable both electrically and
mechanically. Like parts, when interchanged, shall perform their function equally well in every
respect.
The minimum design service life shall be as stated in the Owner Data Sheets.
6.1.1 Rated Power Output
_________________________________________________________________________________
Each transformer shall have a rated power output (MVA) in accordance with the
Owner Data Sheets and, under site conditions, shall be capable of (without exceeding
the normal temperature rise limit (IEC 76-2 2.1)) the following:
 Delivering its rated power from any winding continuously, irrespective of the
direction of power flow, at any tapping, with the output winding at ±10% rated
voltage, the frequency at ±5% rated and a load power factor between 0.8
lagging and 0.9 leading.
 Operating continuously at no load at any tapping, when neither the output

winding voltage nor volts per hertz exceed 110% rated values.
For multi-winding transformers each winding shall be capable of being loaded to its
specified rating irrespective of the loading on other windings. The arithmetic sum of
the winding loads shall not exceed the source winding capability.
6.1.2 Vibration and Noise Level
The maximum vibration level of the transformers and its appurtenances shall be such
that visible motion is not detectable.
The maximum noise level for the power transformers shall not exceed the levels
specified in NEMA TR1. The noise output shall be confirmed by testing to IEC 551.
_________________________________________________________________________________
6.1.3 Overloads
Each transformer and all component parts shall be capable of overload operation in
accordance with IEC 354.
6.1.4 Short Circuits
The transformer shall be capable of withstanding, without any permanent damage or

deterioration, the mechanical and thermal stresses caused by short circuits on the
external terminals of any winding or windings in accordance with IEC 76. The

6.2 Detailed Requirements
6.2.1 Tank
The transformer tank shall be of welded steel construction capable of withstanding

125% of the maximum positive and negative operating pressures as a minimum. A
minimum of one manhole shall be provided for each transformer to facilitate the
removal and installation of bushings and current transformers, tap changer
mechanisms, winding temperature current transformers, etc., and to provide access to
the terminal board without disturbing the leads. All manhole covers shall be placed on
gaskets which shall be confined in recesses machined in the tank flange or the lower
side of the cover.
All joints of oil-filled fabricated chambers, other than those which have to be broken,
shall be welded. Care shall be taken to ensure that the chambers are oil-tight.

cork or similar, oil resisting synthetic rubber may be used as a bonding medium subject
to Owner approval. The gaskets shall be at least 6 mm thick when compressed. All
mounting bolts shall be external to the gasket.
The tank and conservator (if required) shall be designed to withstand vacuum filling at
full vacuum in the field.
All covers shall have an inside surface flush with the inside of the tank to avoid
pockets for collection of gas.
Special precautions shall be taken to ensure that any gas evolved is directed as quickly
as possible to the gas detector relay. The tank covers shall be slanted or domed away
from the direction of the major axes to prevent gas from being trapped at the ends or
sides of the tank cover. The gas collection point shall be located at the "high spot" of
the cover. If there are any internal pockets where gas could collect they shall have a
collar extending down into the oil, so that only that gas which is evolved vertically
below the collar is trapped by the collar. All such pockets shall be piped to the gas
detector relay and shall also be provided with bleed devices for venting of large
quantities (over 800 cm3) of trapped air or gas. Any gas collection pockets which
cannot be piped to the gas detector relay, such as the pressure relief vent pipe and
spaces between bushing draw leads and bushing central tubes, shall be provided with
gas deflectors to prevent gas from entering such points.
Movement of the tank in any direction shall be possible using either rollers (90 degree
swivel, removable after installation), flanged wheels or steel skid plate/skid base. The
skids shall extend to the edge tank and beyond, where necessary, to give the
transformer a minimum tipping angle of at least 25 degrees when completely
assembled.
Pulling eyes shall be provided near the tank base and shall be located to permit
skidding and slewing the transformer through an angle of 90o. The pulling eyes shall
_________________________________________________________________________________

Suitable cooling liquid passages shall be provided to limit the hot spot temperature rise
above the average winding temperature rise at rated load to those values specified in
IEC 76.
Lifting lugs shall be included to facilitate removal of the complete core and coil
assembly for repairs.
The current carrying capability of the transformer shall be limited only by the capacity
of the core and coils, not by the capacity of other current carrying components such as
bushings and tap changers.
The Contractor shall furnish three complete sets of photographs of each core and coil
assembly. The photographs shall be taken just prior to placing the completed core and
coil assembly into the tank .

withstand without damage the impulse and low frequency dielectric tests.
Each transformer shall be designed so that with the impulse test voltage or the
maximum "let-through" voltage of the associated surge arresters, applied to any
winding, the maximum surge that can be transferred to the other windings shall not
exceed their insulation level.
Where tertiary windings are required the manufacturer shall provide them. They shall
be designed to withstand without damage the effects of short circuits on the tertiary or
other windings up to the short circuit capabilities.
Where tertiary windings are not specified, but are required, a stabilising winding or
"buried" tertiary can be provided.
On three phase units one corner of the "buried" or stabilising winding shall be provided

entrained air and moisture from within the tank and windings.
If the dielectric test strength of any oil received in the field, whether shipped separately
or in the transformer, tests less than 30kV when tested in accordance with the
procedures of IEC 156, the Contractor shall ensure that the manufacturer provides all
labour, supervision, material and equipment required to furnish the oil quality specified
with no additional cost.
A transformer oil collecting pit shall be provided surrounding the transformer

foundation. The pit shall have the capacity to collect the total volume of oil in the tank.
