i) UTS Test on Stranded Conductor
Circles perpendicular to the axis of the conductor shall be marked at two places on a sample of
conductor of minimum 5 m length between fixing arrangement suitably fixed on a tensile testing
machine. The load shall be increased at a steady rate upto 50% of minimum specified UTS and
held for one minute. The circles drawn shall not be distorted due to relative movement of strands.
Thereafter the load shall be increased at steady rate to minimum UTS and held for one minute.
The Conductor sample shall not fail during this period. The applied load shall then be increased
until the failing load is reached and the value recorded.
ii) D.C. Resistance Test on Stranded Conductor
On a conductor sample of minimum 5m length two contact-clamps shall be fixed with a
predetermined bolt torque. The resistance shall be measured by a Kelvin double bridge by placing
the clamps initially zero metre and subsequently one metre apart. The test shall be repeated at
least five times and the average value recorded. The value obtained shall be corrected to the value
at 20°C as per IS:398-(Part-V)-1982. The resistance corrected at 200C shall conform to the
requirements of this Specification.
iii) Chemical Analysis of Aluminium and Steel
Samples taken from the Aluminium and steel ingots/coils/strands shall be
chemically/spectrographically analysed. The same shall be in conformity to the requirements
stated in this Specification.
iv) Visual and Dimensional Check on Drums
The drums shall be visually and dimensionally checked to ensure that they conform to the
requirements of this Specification.
v) Visual Check for Joints, Scratches etc.
Conductor drums shall be rewound in the presence of the Owner or his representative. The
Owner/his representative shall visually check for scratches, joints etc. and that the conductor
generally conforms to the requirements of this Specification. Ten percent (10%) drums from each
lot shall be rewound in the presence of the Owner's representative.

The individual strands shall be dimensionally checked to ensure that they conform to the
requirement of this Specification.
vii) Check for Lay-ratios of Various Layers
The lay-ratios of various layers shall be checked to ensure that they conform to the requirements
of this Specification.
viii) Procedure Qualification test on welded Aluminium strands.
Two Aluminium wire shall be welded as per the approved quality plan and shall be subjected to
tensile load. The breaking strength of the welded joint of the wire shall not be less than the
guaranteed breaking strength of individual strands.
ix) Chemical Analysis of Zinc
Samples taken from the zinc ingots shall be chemically/ spectrographically analysed. The same
shall be in conformity to the requirements stated in the Specification.
x) Galvanising Test
The test procedure shall be as specified in IEC: 888. The material shall conform to the
requirements of this Specification. The adherence of zinc shall be checked by wrapping around a

xi) Torsion and Elongation Tests on Steel Strands
The test procedures shall be as per clause No. 10.3 of IEC : 888. In torsion test, the number of
complete twists before fracture shall not be less than 18 on a length equal to 100 times the
standard diameter of the strand. In case test sample length is less or more than 100 times the
stranded diameter of the strand, the minimum number of twists will be proportioned to the length
and if number comes in the fraction then it will be rounded off to next higher whole number. In
elongation test, the elongation of the strand shall not be less than 4% for a gauge length of 250
mm.
xii) Check on Barrel Batten strength of Drums
The details regarding barrel batten strength test will be discussed and mutually agreed to by the

For this purpose Stringent testing of the material shall be done as per procedure given below:-
1- On offer of inspection for distribution transformers by the firm, a team of JKSPDC's
officials may go to the Works site of the Manufacturer to pick up samples from offered
lot and may send the same for testing as per GTP/JKSPDC's Technical Specifications at
some Govt. Testing Lab. Or at JKSPDC's Transformer Workshop at JKSPDC's cost.
2- At the same time after receipt of offer for inspection, Inspection Agency will be deputed
to inspect100% of the offered lot.
3- The checking inspection reports received from both the agencies i.e. sample checking
report from Govt. Testing Lab. and inspection report of inspecting agency will be
scrutinized and, if both the reports are found O.K. the dispatch authorization will be
issued to the firm
4- After the receipt of material in the Stores, the tests for no load and full load losses shall
be carried out on each TIF through post receipt inspection Committee constituted for the
purpose.
5- i) NO LOAD LOSSES AND FULL LOAD LOSSES ARE FIXED.
ii) During post receipt inspection if the losses of any transformer are found more than
the prescribed limit given in the technical specification, the transformer(s) shall be got
replaced and in addition the penalty equivalent to the cost of the transformer supplied will
be charged from the firm for supplying inferior quality material
6- If during the post receipt inspection the failure rate of Transformer is more than 10%
(Ten percent) of the lot supplied then the entire lot will be rejected and firm will not be
entitle for any payment. The payment, if any, made will have to be refunded back within
10 days of giving such notice of failure to the supplier.
7- Inspection will be conducted every year, for the first 5 years on a 2% sample of the
quantities supplied. Samples will be collected at random to establish that the guaranteed
technical parameters are as per the submitted bid by the supplier. In the case of non-
adherence, the purchaser may take suitable action on the supplier including cancellation
of vendor registration and banning further dealings, depending on the gravity of the
deviation. These random inspections may be entrusted to a third party.
8- If the distribution transformer rejection rate exceeds 5% of the total supply, the firm will
be automatically blacklisted.
9- All such firm's who after giving inspection call do not put up materials to Inspecting
Officer for inspection due to one or other reason, shall be required to remit Rs.20,000/- as
penalty for every such call made by the supplier.
