31.1 Temperature Indicating Devices and Alarms

The transformers shall be provided with approved devices of Kilhstrom for indicating the top oil
temperature and hottest spot winding temperatures. The devices shall have a dial type indicator
and, in addition, a pointer to register the highest temperature reached. Each winding temperature
device shall have four separate contacts fitted, two of which shall be used to control the two groups
of cooling plant motors (i.e. AF1 and AF2), one to give an alarm and one to trip the associated
circuit breakers. The Temperature indicating device shall be from MR Germany or equivalent
European class.

To simulate indication of the hottest spot temperature of the winding the device shall comprise a
current transformer associated with one phase only and a heating device designed to operate
continuously at 130 percent of transformer CMR current and for30 minutes at 150 percent of CMR
current, associated with a sensing bulb installed in an oil tight pocket in the transformer top oil.

The winding temperature indicators (WTI) shall be housed in the marshalling cubicle. The tripping
contacts of the winding temperature indicators shall be adjustable to close between 80°Cand 150°C
and to re-open when the temperature has fallen by not more than 10°C.

The alarm contacts and the contacts used to control the cooling plant motors on the above devices
shall be adjustable to close between 50° C and 100° C and to re-open when the temperature has
fallen by a desired amount between 10° C and l5° C.

All contacts shall be adjustable to a scale and must be accessible on removal of the relay cover.
Alarm and trip circuit contacts shall be suitable for making or breaking 150 VA between the limits
or 30 volts and 250 volts AC or DC and of making 500 VA between the limits of 110 and250V
DC. Cooler motor control contacts shall be suitable for operating the cooler Contractors direct or,
if necessary, through an interposing relay.
The temperature indicators in the marshalling kiosk shall be so designed that it is possible to move
the pointers by hand for the purpose of checking the operation of the contacts and associated
equipment. The working parts of the instrument shall be made visible by the provision of cut-away
dials and glass-fronted covers and all setting and error adjustment devices shall be easily
accessible.

Connections shall be brought from the device to terminal boards placed inside the marshalling
cubicle.
Terminals, links and a 63mm moving iron ammeter shall be provided in the marshalling kiosk for
each WTI for:
a) Checking the output of the current transformer.
b) Testing the current transformer and thermal image characteristics.
c) Disconnecting the bulb heaters from the current transformer secondary circuit to enable the
instrument to be used as an oil temperature indicator. Links shall be provided as shown on
the drawing enclosed with the offer.

31.2 Gas and Oil-Actuated Relays (Buchholz Relays)

Each transformer shall be fitted with gas and oil-actuated relay equipment having alarm contacts
which close on collection of gas or low oil level, and tripping contacts which close following oil
surge conditions. The Relay shall be from MR, Germany or equivalent European class.

Each gas and oil-actuated relay shall be provided with a test cock to take a flexible pipe connection
for checking the operation of the relay by inserting air in the relay. The floats of the Buchholz shall
be solid body. Each relay shall be fitted with UV protective covered glass window for indication of
gas volume.

cock of the gas and oil-actuated relay and brought down to appoint approximately1400 mm above
ground level, where it shall be terminated by a cock which shall have provision for locking to
prevent unauthorized operation.

The design of the relay mounting arrangements, the associated pipe work and the cooling plant
shall be such that multi operation of the relay will not take place under normal service conditions,
including starting or stopping of oil circulating pumps, whether by manual or automatic control
under all operating temperatures.

The pipe work shall be so arranged that all gas arising from the transformer will pass into the gas
and oil-actuated relay. The oil circuit through the relay must not form a delivery path in parallel
with any circulating oil pipe, nor is it to be fed into or connected through the pressure relief vent.
Sharp bends in the pipe work shall be avoided.

When a transformer is provided with two conservators, the gas and oil-actuated relays shall be
arranged as follows:

a) If the two conservators are connected to the transformer by a common oil pipe, one relay
shall be installed in the common pipe.

b) If the two conservators are piped separately to the transformer, two relays shall be installed,
one in each pipe connection.

The clearance between oil pipe work and live metal shall be not less than the minimum clearances
stated in the schedule of requirement.
