L1-CHE-SPE-014
1. Purpose
This document is the technical specification for an Auxiliary Transformer, or an Essential
Services and Auxiliary Transformer, for use in MTM substations.
2. Scope
This document applies to the supply of a Power Transformer with a secondary voltage of
either 230V phase to phase (unearthed system) or a 400V phase to phase (230V phase to
neutral) MEN system and power rating of 50-500kVA for use in a substation installation as
part of the MTM Electrical Network.
This Transformer may be used to supply substation auxiliary services, the Essential
Services Power Distribution Network, maintenance buildings, stations or other similar
facilities.
3. Abbreviations
ACCB - Alternating Current Circuit Breaker
MTM - Metro Trains Melbourne
HV - High Voltage
4. Definitions
For all technical terms refer to AS 60076.
Essential Services Refers to services, apparatus and systems described in L1-CHE-
SPE-154. Also refers to the power distribution system supplying
these services.
Shall Is used as the descriptive word to express a requirement that is
mandatory to achieve conformance to the standard.
Should Is used as the descriptive word to express a requirement that is
recommended in order to achieve compliance to the standard.
should can also be used if a requirement is a design goal but not
a mandatory requirement.
5.1 Standards
The Transformer shall comply with all relevant Standards, including:
AS 60076 Power Transformers
AS 1767 Insulating Liquids Specification for Unused Mineral Insulating Oils for
Transformers & Switchgear
AS 2374 Power Transformers
Note: All materials and components shall comply with the relevant Australian Standard or,
where these do not exist, with the relevant IEC or EN Standard.

5.2 Latest Issues and Amendments
Reference to all standards shall be read as a reference to the latest edition of that standard
and amendments available at the time of tendering.
6. Background
The Transformer will be used for the purpose of converting power from the substation HV
supply to a 400V or 230V phase to phase supply for auxiliary power, essential services and
other purposes.
Due to the variable nature of these uses, the following will be specified at the time of
ordering:
• Primary Voltage (or equivalent table of ratings to that shown in section 9.1)
• Rated Power
• Indoor or outdoor installation
• Type of primary and secondary terminals required
• Oil insulated or dry type
7. General Requirements
7.1 The Transformer shall be designed and manufactured to give the highest level of reliability
whilst requiring the minimum level of maintenance under continuous operating conditions.
7.2 The Transformer may be either an oil-insulated or dry type.
8. Operating Conditions
9.2 The winding vector may be altered if the reason for it is established and submitted to MTM
for approval. For Essential Services and Auxiliary transformers, the phase angle must not
be changed.

10. Winding Connection
10.1 Five output taps on the primary windings shall be provided for the following range: +5.0%;
+2.5%; 0%; -2.5%; -5.0%.
10.2 The selection of the tapping shall be off-load.
10.3 The tap changing device shall have a continuous rating of 100% of the Transformer full
load current.
10.4 For oil type transformers, the tap position shall be selected by a robustly constructed,
external, pad-lockable, manually operated, spring-loaded selector switch, suitable for
operation by hand without the use of special tools. The switch positions shall be labelled,
and shall be readable from a distance of 1.2 m.
10.5 For dry type transformers, the tap position may be selected either as described in clause
10.4, or by moveable connection links located on each of the primary windings. Each of
these links shall be constructed from a single section of suitable conductor and shall be
capable of making all tap settings. The tap links shall be located behind a securely bolted
panel.
