Notes to Proposed Specs :

1. These specs are based on NFC 33-021 requirements

2. Requirements applicable to Bimetallic lugs are not included
3. Conductor sizes considered are 25, 35 and 50 sq mm as these are the
presently used sizes by most Indian users.
4. Type Tests have been extracted from Annex C and put into the body of the
text
5. Low Temp Test has been excluded as not required.

5
 6. Endurance test under mech and thermal stress has been excluded due to
likely difficulty in testing in India.
This may be included after obtaining feedback from CPRI etc.
7. Corrosion test is not applicable for sleeves as per NFC 3-021, and is
therefore excluded
8. Acceptance tests are based on the requirements of NFC 33-021, but
sampling plan for Visual, dimensional and materials tests is proposed by
author of this proposal.

The operating mechanism shall works satisfactorily between 85 -110o/o of rated supply
voltage.

5.2INSTRUMENT PANELS:

Each unit shall have its own instrument panel provided at the top & complete with small
wiring connections from relays, instrument transformers, metering instruments, indicating
instruments, selector switches & circuit breaker control switch. All wiring shall be carried out
by using stranded single annealed copper conductor, insulated with poly vinyl chloride
insufation suitable for 650 V service and in accordance with lS: 732 - 1963. CT/PT circuits
shall use wire of not less than 2.s mm2 cross -
sectional area whereas
control/alarm/supervision circuit shall use wire of not than 1.5 mm2 cross - sectional area.
All wires will be continuous from one terminal to the other and also will have no T - Junction
enroute. The connections shall be securely made with the help of suitable connecting lugs
duly crimped on the copper conductor. The meters and relays shall be mounted in a
convenient position so as these are readily accessible for inspection or repair. The terminal
board provided in the instrument panel of VCBs will be made of molded dielectric having
brass studs, washers, holding nuts & locking nuts. All holding nuts shall be secured oy
locking nuts. The connection studs shall project 6 mm from the lock nut surface. No OTHER
TYPE OF TERMINAL BORAD lS ACCEPTABLE. The panels shall have a degree of
protection of lP - 4X. The leads from the metering CTs shall be directly terminated at TTB
and there from at the KWH meter with a provision to seal TTB and KWH meter. The said
. CT leads will be effectively concealed to prevent their tempering enroute as well as at TTB.
Similarly PT leads from secondary box of the PT to TTB & there from to energy meter,
including inter panel PT leads, will also be effectively concealed to prevent their tempering.
The mode and extent of concealing the metering leads of CTs & PTs, to prevent their
tempering (by unscrupulous operating personnel), will be discussed and mutually agreed
upon with the successful bibber (s). TTB, used on the instrument panel, should be suitable
for front connections.
Earthing of current free metallic parts or metallic bodies of the relays switches mounted on
the instrument panel and metal enclosed switchgear shall be done by a suitable sized
copper conductor. Eafth bus made of 25 X 3 mm bare copper flat will be extended through
entire length of 1'1KV switch-board with suitable provision to connect it to the sub-station
earth at the extremities. The earthing arrangement will meet with the requirements laid
down in lS:3427, read with its latest amendments.

5.3 INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMER:

The secondary voltage & current rating of the instrument transformers shall match with the
metering and protective equipment. The CTs shall have ratio & accuracy class as
mentioned in the schedule of requirement. The CTs shall be wound/ring type in accordance
with their ratings. The terminal boards, associated with REF CTs &Over Current / Earth
Fault Protection CTs will be of disconnecting type, having short circuiting facility & thus
facilitate secondary 1e..gting of concerned protective relay without disturbing the associated
small wiringf- Interchangeability of housing of CTs, from one panel to another, must be
ensured. A resin cast potential transformer of ratio (11000d3X110{3) volts, having 1q) VA
output per phase with accuracy class 0.5 as per tss: 3156 (part-il) - 196s, shalt be
provided on the incoming side of each panel set and shall be star - star connected. lt shall
be provided with HT ahd LT fuses. i

resistors with highly non linear voltage-current characteristics,
connected in series, but having no integrated series or parallel
spark gaps.

2.3 POLYMERIC HOUSED SURGE ARRESTOR:-

A surge arrestor with a housing made of polymeric material
without air voids neither between the housing and the zinc
oxide resistor nor the housing itself. Arrestors must have
directly moulded housings. Arrestors manufactured by slip-on
premoulded housing will not be accepted in view of weak
interface between the housing and the assembled disc.

and ground leads.

4.4.3 DISCONNECTORS: -The arrestors should have a safety device

(arrestor disconnector) for outdoor, duty, in the event of failure to
prevent a persistent fault on the system & to give visual indication of
the failed arrestor to facilitate its timely replacement. Arrestor
disconnector will also conform to either IEC 99-4 of 1991 or
IS:3070(part-I & III) Detailed drawing and dimensions will be
