yellow. The main DC distribution board should have 100% extra MCBs installed.
2 The DC sub distribution boards shall be located as follows
 SDB1 located in the 33kV switchroom
 SDB2 & SDB 3 located in each 11kV switchroom
 SDB4 & SDB 5 located near each frequency converters
 SDB6 located in the control room
 Any other SDB as required for example in each QSS switchroom.
3 The exterior finish and colour of the secondary distribution boards should preferably be

shall be calculated according to the demand supplied from these distribution boards.
4 Separate DC supply circuits should be extended to a number of zones from each SDB.
5 Any protection relay cabinet should have its own circuit.
12. 8.3.4 Uninterruptible AC supply
 Scope
Claus Requirement
e
1 The Contractor shall supply, install and commission an on-line uninterruptible AC supply
consisting of two groups of inverter and static/manual bypass switch combinations
(UPSs).
2 The UPSs are to operate inside an air-conditioned section within each container but
should still be capable of operating at full load in an ambient temperature of 45°C.
3 The UPSs should comply with IEC 62040 or equivalent.

4 The UPSs will provide uninterrupted AC supply to critical equipment that operates from an
AC supply such as computers and monitors, telecommunication devices, fire and intruder
alarm systems. The UPSs must be able to supply an extra 20% load which shall be used
by the Contracting Authority for its telecommunications devices.
5 UPS supplied 13A socket outlets for equipment in 4 above must be clearly distinguishable
(the socket outlets should be RED in colour) from similar socket outlets supplied from the
normal AC supply.
 Supply
Claus Requirement
e
1 The main supply shall be from the 110VDC distribution board supplied by the battery and
charger.
2 The bypass AC supply shall be obtained from the distribution board located in the LV
switchgear room and shall be 230VAC ± 10 % and 50Hz. ± 6%.
 Output
Claus Requirement
e
1 Each UPS should be able to supply the complete load in case the other combination is out
of service for any reason. The Contractor should show calculations justifying the sizing of
each inverter and static switch.
2 The output waveform shall be nominally 230V, 50Hz. single phase and should be
classified as ‘true sinewave’.
3 Each UPS shall be rated for continuous output for the power factors expected.
4 The output should be synchronized with the standby AC supply such that a transfer from
main to stand-by will occur with no disturbance to the load. The output of the two UPSs
should also be synchronized with each other such that the connected load can be
transferred from one UPS to the other without interruption.
5 The UPSs should be capable of a 10% overload for at least 30s.
 Operation

Claus Requirement
e
1 In normal mode, the load should be supplied by the UPSs. In case of battery or inverter
failure or the sudden application of large load, the UPS static switch should
instantaneously transfer the load to the standby supply without loss of supply. When the
load is stabilised or main supply is restored, the UPS should automatically revert back to
it.
2 The Contractor should supply a system that should automatically transfer the load
connected from one UPS to the other in the event of total failure of that UPS. Such a
transfer should not occur if the failure of the UPS was caused by external means, e.g. the
failure of a device connected to the UPS. This changeover system should not be tied to
one particular UPS, but should be independent, such that a failure on any of the UPSs will
not shut down the system.
3 If it is required to take a UPS out of service for maintenance or repairs, a manual by-pass
to the stand-by supply can be effected without loss of supply for the load, and the inverter
switched off. Once maintenance is performed, the reverse operation can be performed
safely and without loss of supply to the load.
 Enclosure and Location
Claus Requirement
e
1 The UPSs should be installed in a 19-inch rack cabinet with fans equipped with dust
filters. There should be an extra fan for redundancy. The cabinet should be designed for
bottom cable entry.
2 The cabinet should incorporate double-pole circuit breakers compliant with IEC 60947 for
each circuit. There should be 10% free outputs circuits available for future expansion and
this need should also be provided on each UPS to cater for future expansion.
 Indications, protection and alarms
Claus Requirement
e
1 The preferred list of indications (status and process variables) to be displayed on the UPS
mimic panel is shown in Table 8.3. They should be relayed to the SCS using a
communication interface.
2 The UPSs should be protected against overload, short-circuits, overvoltage, undervoltage,
high temperature and low battery voltage. Overvoltage protection on the input to the UPS

should also be provided.
3 The Contractor must install adequate types of Surge Protection Devices to protect both
the input and the output of the Uninterruptible AC supply
4 The preferred list of alarms to be shown on the mimic panel and sent to the SCS is shown
in Table 8.4.

2 The generator bay should be located and designed in such a way that the generator can
draw in a sufficient amount of air from outside the bay and exhaust it in a way that it
cannot be re drawn into the bay. Given that the generator must have an all-weather sound

be enhanced. Similarly, the two opposite short sides of the generator bay (one of which
will include the entrance door) should be fully louvered for ventilation purposes.
3 The silencer should preferably be mounted separately from the engine with a flexible
expansion joint. If the silencer is engine mounted, the flexible pipe should be mounted

the normal supply. When the generator set has attained correct voltage and frequency,
the generator will be connected to the main distribution panel.
