PART 1: GENERAL
1. SCOPE
2. STANDARDS
The equipment shall comply with the latest editions of, and amendments
to, the international standards listed below. Where any provision of this

3. SERVICE CONDITIONS
Environmentally, the region where the work will take place is a coastal
area, subject to an overall medium relative humidity, which can give rise
to condensation. Onshore winds are frequently salt laden. On occasions,
the combination of salt and condensation may create pollution conditions
for outdoor insulators.
Indoor material and equipment shall be designed and protected for use in
buildings, which occasionally may be wet and damp.

Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
13. BUSHINGS
The bushings shall be of the solid glazed porcelain insulator type and
shall be bird proof. They shall meet the electrical and mechanical
characteristics required in IEC 383. Insulators shall be appropriate for
the switch's rated voltage of 33kV or 11kV, as the case may be. The
bushings shall be protected from mechanical damages while lifting up
the unit by providing holding grips around the bushings.
The bushing insulators for the 33kV load break switches shall
withstand for one minute, dry and wet 50Hz test voltages of not less
than:
The bushing insulators for the 11kV load break switches shall
withstand for one minute, dry and wet 50Hz test voltages of not less
than:
The bidder shall also give the following information in the technical data
schedule:
The maximum radio influence voltage for both 33kV and 11kV load
break switches shall be 250µV, measured in accordance with IEC 437.
S23A-14
Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
15. CLEARANCES
The bidder shall give the following information in the technical data
schedule for both, 33kV and 11kV load break switches:
The interrupting medium shall be air although the load break switch is
totally enclosed. This shall be achieved by use of arc chute also known
as elephant ears to quench the arc; similar to the load break switches
current in use on TANESCO distribution network
Lifting hooks shall also be provided at the top of the switch. These shall
be provided on all Load Break Switches and be so disposed as to allow
the entire switch to be lifted without damage, particularly to bushings
S23A-15
Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
The fixed contact at which the circuit is broken should have a split head
contact, shaped to take the switch's blade parallel to the direction of
motion. The contact area of current carrying components shall be
made of silver plated, high conductivity copper.
Each unit shall be provided with the necessary linkage rope to allow the
load break switch to be operated from ground level after the ropes are
connected to the operating handle mounted on the switch. Indications for
operation state, that is ON or OFF shall be provided. Markings of
ON/OFF indications shall be of painted illumines or reflecting colours
and they shall be readable from the ground level. Colours of preference
are GREEN for OFF and RED for ON positions.
The lead wires from the bushings on the load break switch units for
connecting to the line conductors shall be insulated annealed copper
conductors 125mm2 of minimum length 2 meters. Also each end of
the lead wires shall be ferrule ready for connecting to the line
conductor.
S23A-16
Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
All iron and steel parts shall be protected against corrosion by hot dip
galvanising to the standards of BS 729 or equivalent in so far as they
meet the requirements that follow.
The supplier shall ensure that internal stresses in the material brought
about by such treatments as extensive cold working, bending, welding
etc., are relieved as necessary before submission for hot dipping as these
stresses could lead to embrittlement and/or intercrystalline cracking after
galvanising.
Crevices and pin holes shall be avoided in welds as they trap pickling
acid and lead to premature corrosion of the zinc coating.
Articles shall not be galvanised if their design and shapes are such that
the pickling solution cannot be removed with certainty or if adequate
venting or drainage is not possible to ensure a safe and effective
galvanising dip. If it is necessary to bore drainage or vent holes in
articles, the galvaniser or supplier may do so only after the consent of
TANESCO representative has been obtained.
The zinc of the hot dip galvanising bath shall contain not less than
98.5% by mass of zinc according to ISO 752. No zinc impurities or
additives which could have a deleterious effect on the durability of the
zinc coating shall be acceptable.
S23A-17
Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
The thickness of the galvanising coating shall comply with the minimum
average values given in Table 1 overleaf when tested in accordance with
the requirements of this specification.
The mass of the galvanising coating per square metre of the surface area
shall comply with the minimum values given in Table 1 overleaf when
tested in accordance with the requirements of this specification.
S23A-18
Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
23. GUARANTEE:
Should any design fault become apparent to TANESCO after the expire of
the above guarantee periods, the manufacturer in collaboration with his
local agent shall deliver components necessary to correct the faults, together
with any necessary instructions and specialist assistance, FREE OF
CHARGE.
S23A-19
Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
24. TESTS
Routine tests for load break switches shall be carried out in accordance
with IEC 129. In addition galvanising tests shall be carried out, as
detailed below.
The following type tests shall be carried out in conformity with IEC 60,
IEC 129, IEC 437 and and IEC 507:
o dielectric test;
Where load break or making current tests have been performed on the
model being offered, these test results shall also be supplied with the bid.
Performance shall be tested after the load break switch has been
subjected to 1,000 hours of salt spray corrosion, in conformity with
IEC 507. An equivalent field experience in coastal sites shall be
acceptable.
The bidder shall confirm that the current carrying contacts shall meet the
temperature rise requirements after approximately 20 years of coastal
exposure and that other metal parts shall retain their mechanical strength.
S23A-20
Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
o visual inspection;
o thickness of galvanising coat; and
o uniformity of galvanising coat.
In the event of disagreement or dispute over the results of the above tests
a coating mass test shall be carried out, as set out below. The result of
this test shall be definite and binding.
The instrument used shall have the necessary degree of accuracy, range
of probes and probe adapters to enable reliable readings to be obtained
consistently. Otherwise, the TANESCO representative shall nominate a
suitable instrument for the purpose of obtaining the measurements.
S23A-21
Specification S23A - Load Break Switches
This test, when required, shall normally be carried out on two samples.
The two samples chosen shall be the ones that have given the lowest
readings when tested by the magnetic measurement method.
For shaped items, details of the method of calculating the surface area
shall be agreed between the contractor and the project manager.
