The bidder should submit Type test certificate for compact transformer from
KEMA or equivalent along with bid. This is to prove that the offered equipment
satisfies all the design requirements set out in this specification.
11.2 ROUTINE TEST
These tests shall be carried out on each individual of the equipment offered as per
IEC at the manufacture’s works to ensure that the product is in accordance with the
requirements of this specification.
These tests shall include:
a) Induced over voltage withstand test at 66kV for 33kV winding,
b) Resistance test,
c) No-load test,
d) Short-circuit test,
e) Measurement of transformation ratio and vector group,
f) Measurement of impedance voltage,
g) A test report containing the test results is to be drawn up for each transformer.
h) Insulation test
i) AC hi-pot test
j) Dielectric loss test
k) Circuit Breaker cotnact resistance test
l) Circuit breaker time-travel resistance measurment
11.3 ACCEPTANCE TEST
The Acceptance test procedures for any delivery of the equipments are as
follows:
a) Visual inspection,
b) Inspection of the complete equipment,
c) Insulation test
d) AC hi-pot test


235

e) Dielectric loss test

f) Circuit Breaker contact resistance test
g) Circuit breaker time-travel resistance measurment
h) Checking of the result of the routine and type test as per IEC,
i) Carrying out all or part of tests mentioned in the routine test,
j) Checking of conformity to specification.
The following tests on transformer shall also be carried out,
1) dielectric tests of high voltage and low voltage winding(s) at rated one minute
power frequency withstand voltage,
2) double voltage test ( 1 minute at double voltage and double frequency)
induced via the low voltage winding;
3) measurement of no-load loss and no-load current,
4) measurement of load loss and impedance voltage with the off circuit tap
changer in the normal position,
5) Measurement of the insulation resistance (oil, paper and press board) between
high voltage and low voltage, and tank (Meggar test),
The Corporation reserves the right to apply, penalty or reject particular equipment
in the event of non-compliance with the guaranteed losses.
12. PACKING AND MARKING

The Compact Substations shall be packed in sea-worthy solid wall wooden cases in
a manner to avoid damage during transport, handling and storage. They shall also
be packed in such a way that no corrosion occurs on the equipments due to salty
moisture when stored at the port of destination.
Each package shall be marked with the main details of the equipment contained
therein, the type designation or the catalogue number and with the manufacturer's
name or trademark.
Each wooden case shall be clearly marked with the address of EEU and the relevant
contact number and title. All markings shall be legible and durable. Bushing units
shall be packed in a manner to avoid damage during transport, handling and storage.
The compact transformer and its wooden case shall be fitted with an easily readable
nameplate of weatherproof material giving the following details:
