offered lot and may send the same for testing as per GTP/Nigam's Technical

Page 14 of 29
________________________________________________________________________

Specifications at some Central Govt. Testing Lab. Or at Nigam's Transformer

Workshop at Nigam's cost.
2- At the same time after receipt of offer for inspection, Inspection Agency will be
deputed to inspect100% of the offered lot.
3- The checking inspection reports received from both the agencies i.e. sample
checking report from Central Govt. Testing Lab. and inspection report of
inspecting agency will be scrutinized by Office of CGM/MM and, if both the
reports are found O.K. the dispatch authorization will be issued to the firm.

The transformers shall have the following CSP features:
34.1 Internal HV fuse on the HT side of transformer:
Specification for the HV fuse: Expulsion/any other suitable type of fuse placed in
series with the primary winding. The fuse is mounted normally inside of the
primary bushing for the three phases and it is connected to the high voltage
winding through a terminal block. This has to protect that part of the electrical
distribution system, which is ahead of the distribution transformers from faults,
which occur inside the distribution transformers i.e. either on the windings or
some other part of the transformers. It shall be ensured that the fuse does not
blow for faults on the secondary side (LT side) of the transformer i.e. the blowing
characteristics of the fuse and LT breaker shall be so coordinated such that the
fuse shall not blow for any faults on the secondary side of the transformer
beyond LT breakers and those faults shall be cleared by the LT breaker only.
34.2 Internally mounted oil immersed LT breaker on the LV side of the transformer:
34.3 3 Pole LT circuit breaker: All LT faults after the breaker shall be clear by this
breaker. As such it shall be designed for perfect coordination with the HT fuse
link. The bidder shall furnish the time/current characteristics of LT circuit breaker
of 11 kV fuses for various current multiples.
The two characteristics shall be drawn on the same sheet to indicate
coordination between the circuit breaker and fuse. The Bidder shall carry out
coordination test as indicated above and this forms one of the tests as for acceptance
test.
The breaker shall be coordinated thermally with the transformer design to follow
closely the variations of coil acceptance test.
The breaker shall be coordinated thermally with the transformer design to follow
closely the variations of coil temperature due to fluctuating load and ambient
temperatures.
This is to be accomplished by connecting the breaker in series between the
secondary windings and the secondary bushings. The breaker shall be located in the
same oil as the core and coil assembly so that the bimetal are sensitive to the
temperature of oil as well as the load current
The circuit breaker shall also be closed and opened manually standing on
ground. The current carrying parts of breakers shall be copper plus a set of copper
tungsten current interrupting contacts.

Page 20 of 29
