26. General Conditions :
a) The bus duct with internal bus and flexible connection shall be introduced between the
Alternator terminal box and existing Single core 630 Sq mm Copper cables (2 per phase and
one for neutral)
b) The bus duct shall be designed, fabricated and installed with suitable support insulators rated
for 1100V, bus bars and Flexible braided copper links along with rubber bellow to connect the
Alternator terminals with existing single core 630 Sq mm Copper cables.
c) After getting firm order, the firm shall send detailed engineering drawing for the bus duct
indicating, list of material used for various components, detailed dimension of bus duct, size of
copper buses, size of copper flexible, gland plate, support structure, along with Bill of material
for review and approval
d) Adequate Hot dip Galvanized support structure shall be given to the bus duct to take care of
mechanical integrity and arrest the vibration.
e) The dimensional drawing of the Alternator (1010KVA) is attached here with for reference
(The dimensions mentioned in the drawing shall be verified at the field)
f) The design, Fabrication and installation shall be made to suit the site condition.
g) Fabrication shall be started only after approving the drawing by NPCIL-MAPS
h) All the relevant test certificate shall be submitted for verification
i) QA Plan shall be produced for final verification to NPCIL.
j) The Bus duct shall be offered for inspection before delivery and the inspection date shall be
informed well in advance to NPCIL.
k) Even though the drawing and BOM is approved by the department, during installation, the
responsibility of matching the bus duct with generator terminal box, supply of material if any
required to suit with site condition and alignment of bus duct with generator terminal box and
 interconnection of generator terminal leads to bus duct leads for phase and neutral rest with the
contractor.
l) Installation and commissioning of the supplied item is under the scope of the contract
m) To terminate 630Sqmm single core copper cables (2 per phase and one on neutral) on the bus
duct, the required copper lug, double compression brass cable glands, non-magnetic gland
plate of sufficient thickness and other hardware requirement are under the scope of the
contract.
n) While visiting site for installation and commissioning they shall strictly comply with the safety
and security guidelines issued by station.
o) After receiving the purchase order the firm can make a visit to site to understand the field
requirements.
