FOR
500kV AUTO‐TRANSFOMER BANK
0. FOREWORD
0.1 This specification has been prepared by Design Department NTDC.
0.2 This specification is intended for procurement of material but does not include all
the necessary provisions of contract.
0.3 The specification for 500kV auto‐transformer bank was initially written by M/s
NESPAK being consultant for NTDC/WAPDA 500kV projects. Later on many
amendments had been made in the specification due to revision in IEC standards and
as per NTDC/WAPDA field requirements.
0.4 This revised edition, besides incorporating the previous amendments, covers
following major additions/alterations necessitated by practical experience with the
auto‐transformer during the course of time.
i) 750 MVA auto‐transformer bank is being introduced on the basis of studies of
Planning Department NTDC by keeping in view the increasing load demands
and NTDC network current & future extensions.
ii) In order to ensure proper load sharing under parallel operation of
transformers, the impedance voltage on all tap position is being specified.
Previously, it was specified for the principal tap only.
iii) In most cases of transformer damages, the tertiary windings were found to
be damaged. In order to increase the strength of the tertiary windings for
with‐standing the rigors of the forces under frequent short circuit conditions,
its rated capacity is being enhanced from 20% of the ONAN rating of HV/LV
windings to 30%.
iv) Due to problems faced during dismantling the shell type transformers for
repair of windings, only core‐type construction is being specified.
v) Provision for only conventional type tank design has been specified and bell
type tank construction has been excluded.
vii) Testing requirements for transformers and accessories have been specified as
per latest IEC standards.

0.6 This specifications supersedes and replaces the previous edition and amendments to
that issue.
0.7 This specification is subject to revision as and when required.

13.5.2 General Notes on Routing
13.5.2.1 Railway regulations regarding oversized consignments:
a) Oversized consignments can be allowed to moved with minimum 153 mm
clearance on sides and top from minimum profile of fixed structures after
curve allowance.
b) The movement of the train shall be by daylight only and at a speed not
exceeding 40 km/hour.
c) The speed of the train carrying the consignment shall be restricted to 8
km/hour through station limits and through grider bridges.
d) The train carrying the consignment shall not cross a train between stations on
a double line section or in yards.
e) The special train shall not pass on a track adjacent to a goods platform.
13.5.3 Comments Regarding Routing
a) The limiting dimensions shown by the sketch, “Combined Dimensional Limits,
Karachi‐Lalamusa via Chord”, are all found in the Kiamari‐Rohri Section,
which adjoins Karachi and is common to all practicable routes to Tarbela.
Hence, this sketch shows the maximum limits for oversized consignments
from Karachi Port to the Tarbela Dam Project. All the other sketches are
pertiment only to the extent that they diminish these limits.
b) Route 1 may be considered the main line routing, with attendant traffic
congestion and the smallest tunnels.
c) Route 2 is the same as Route 1 from Karachi to Khanewal. From Khanewal
North to Basal through Khushab and Jand, Route 2 is believed to be free of
tunnels and with dimensional limits as shown on Jan‐Basal Section sketch.
Between Basal and Campbellpur, there are a series of tunnels, of which
Tunnel No. 7 is the smallest. Comparison of the last with the Karachi‐
Lalamusa sketch shows only a small additional reduction in the upper
corners.
d) Route 3 is the same as Routes 1 and 2 to Lodhran. From Sher Shah to
Kundian, Route 3 follows the Indus River and no tunnels are encountered.
From Kundian to Lawrencepur, Route 2 and 3 are the same. The dimensional
limits in the Lodhran‐Sher Shah‐ Khanewal Sections are shown to indicate
the limitations additional to the Kiamari‐ Rohri and Basal‐Campbellpur
Sections if they occur in the Lodhran‐Sher Shah Sector. If they occur in the
Page 42 of 72
Sher Shah Khanewal Sector, the dimensional limitations of Routes 3 and 2 are
identical.
