November 2013
SPECIFICATION SS-20/5
STEEL STRUCTURES FOR SUBSTATION AND SWITCHING
STATION MATERIAL
I. SCOPE
This Specification covers the technical characteristics, the
manufacturing and testing of steel structures used in outdoor
Substation and Switching station switchyard
II KEYWORDS
Steel structures, Lattice type structures, Steel structures for
Substations and Switching stations.
III USE
The steel structures shall be used in outdoor substations and switching
stations to carry extra - high, high and medium voltage (400KV, 150KV,
66KV, 30KV, 20KV) equipment such as disconnecting switches, post
insulators, Voltage transformers, Current transformers, Surge
arresters, Coupling capacitors, etc.
IV STANDARDS
1 SS-20/5
V TYPE OF STRUCTURES
The steel structures shall be either of the lattice type or shall be made
of prefabricated structural steel members.
2 SS-20/5
o Other members with thickness not exceeding 10mm or
14mm, for S355 or S235 steel correspondingly, according to
EN 10025.
4. With each anchoring rod shall be delivered two (2) nuts (screwed
on the bolt), two (2) washers and one (1) lock washer
2. Nuts
Steel nuts shall be used of hardness 6 according to standard DIN 934
3. Washers
Shall be used washers according to standard DIN 7989. For the parts
of U-shaped profiles shall be used washers according to DIN 434.
4. Lockwashers
Shall be used lockwashers of type B according to standard DIN 127.
3 SS-20/5
All the bolts, nuts washers and lockwashers shall be galvanized
according to standard DIN 267, part 10.
X. TESTS
The following checks and tests shall be carried out in every for
inspection quantity.
1. Check of certificates, which concern the chemical composition of
the material.
2. Galvanizing
Samples of all galvanized material shall be subjected to the
galvanizing tests. Tests shall be carried out according to
standard DIN 50976 and are referred to the coating thickness,
the mass per unit area, the adhesion strength and also the
homogeneity of the zinc coating.
In the table 1 are shown the coating thickness and
corresponding mass per unit area.
Table 1
3. Dimensional check
1. Verification of the main dimensions
2. Verification of the cross sections
3. Check of interchangeability between the steel structure parts.
4. Bending test
Bending test (180o) shall be carried out according to standard
DIN 50111and DIN 17100 on samples selected from members
of structures of each one steel - type and cross section used.
4 SS-20/5
5. Impact test
Impact test shall be carried out according to standard
DIN 50115 and DIN 17100 on samples selected from members
of structures of each one steel type and cross section used.
6. Tensile
Tensile tests shall be carried out according to standard DIN
17100 or EN 10002 on samples selected from members of
structures of each one steel - type and cross section used.
Dimensions of test pieces shall be in accordance with the
standard DIN 50125. For the tensile test the ultimate breaking
load, the yield point load and the elongation shall be measured
in order to verity if they are within the permitted limits, which are
referred in the table 2.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF STEEL QUALITIES
FOR STEEL STRUCTURES
PPC maintains the right to ask from the suppliers to assemble (erect),
in their own plant sites, any of the structures that sees fit in order to
verify that they have been properly constructed.
XII. PACKING
All parts of the steel structures shall be delivered packed as follows
and never steel structure loose inside a container and if they are
delivered inside a container this must be in any case open from the
upper part in order to facilitate the unloading.
