As far as possible the control box should be such devised that all the transformers
and reactors or group thereof should be controlled from single spot. Potential
Free contacts shall be available for alarm troubles for input to SCADA system.
Also, separate hooter & emergency trip provision shall be provided in control
room over & above provided in control box (as control box is to be provided in
respective yard kiosk)
The TCIV should be of the best quality as malfunctioning of TCIV could lead to
serious consequence. The closing of TCIV means stoppage of breathing of
transformer / reactor.
Detectors
The system shall be complete with adequate number of detectors (quartz bulb)
fitted on the top cover of the transformer / reactor oil tank.
Signal box
It shall be mounted away from transformer / reactor main tank, preferably near
the transformer marshalling box, for terminating cable connections from TCIV &
detectors and for further connection to be control box. The degree of protection
shall be IP55.
Cables
Fire survival cables (capable to withstand 750º C.) of 4 core x 1.5 sq. mm size for
connection of detectors in parallel shall be used. The fire survival cable shall
conform to BS 7629-1, BS 8434-1, BS 7629-1 and BS 5839-1, BS EN 50267-2-1 or
relevant Indian standards.
Fire Retardant Low Smoke(FRLS) cable of adequate size shall be used for
connection of signal box / marshalling box near transformer / reactor and FEC
mounted near transformer/ reactor with control box mounted in control room.
Fire Retardant Low Smoke (FRLS) cable of 4 core x 1.5 sq. mm size shall be used
for connection between control box to DC & AC supply source, FEC to AC supply
source, signal box / marshalling box to transformer conservator isolation valve
connection on transformer / reactor. Separate cables for AC supply & DC supply
shall be used.
Pipes
Pipes complete with connections, flanges, bends and tees etc. shall be supplied
along with the system.
(a) Oil drain and nitrogen injection openings with gate valves on transformer /
reactor tank at suitable locations.
(b) Flanges between Buchholz relay and conservator tank for fixing TCIV.
(d) Spare potential free contacts activating the system i.e. in differential relay,
Bucholz relay. Pressure Relief Device / RPRR , Circuit breaker of
transformer / reactor.
(e) Pipe connections between transformer / reactor and FEC and between FEC
and oil pit required for collecting top oil.
(g) Inter cabling between signal box, control box and FEC.
(h) Butterfly valves / Gate valves on oil drain pipe and nitrogen injection pipe
which should be able to withstand full vacuum.
(i) Supports, signal box etc. which are to be painted with enameled paint.
Power supply
The bidder apart from the below mentioned spares shall submit a list of
recommendation spares for three years trouble free operation of the equipments
and also furnish unit rates. The owners will scrutinize the said list and decide on
the items on spares to be ordered and the quantities. These spares shall be
supplied by the contractor before end of guarantee period. The owner reserves
right to order the spares with twelve (12) months from the date of order for main
equipments and the rate shall be kept valid till this date. The prices of these
spares shall not be considered for evaluation of the bid.
Mandatory Spares
Interlocks
It shall be ensured that once the NIFPES gets activated manually or in auto
mode, all the connected breakers shall not close until the system is actually put in
OFF mode. Also PRV shall get closed only if all the connected breakers are open.
Tests
Contractor has to submit valid type test reports as per relevant IS/IEC.
including IP 55 on FEC, control box etc., from NABL approved Laboratory or any
other reputed authority nationally or internationally not older than 5 years &
must be valid till expiry of validity of offer.
Reports of all routine test conducted as per relevant IS/IEC standards in respect
of various bought out items including test reports for degree of protection for FEC
/ control box / signal box shall be submitted by the supplier.
The supplier shall demonstrate the entire functional test associated with the
following as Factory Acceptance Tests:
The performance test of the complete system shall be carried out after erection of
the system with transformer at site.
Detailed layout drawings, equipment drawing along with 4 sets of Operation and
Maintenance manual along with soft copies (In CDs) shall be submitted by the
supplier along with the consignment.
The guaranteed and other technical particulars for the offered system are
indicated in Section - "Guaranteed and Other Technical Particulars". Any
other particulars considered necessary in addition to those listed in that Section
may be furnished by the Bidder.
