ON PLOT NO. 332-1549 (PLOT E) AT JUMEIRAH FIRST, DUBAI, UAE
FOR M/s. wasl LLC.
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Generator shall have its neutral solidly connected to the system earth through the
transfer switch. No local system earthing means shall be used as it would create
a multiple earthing of the neutral which may cause stray currents. Alternatively the
Contractor may use a local earthing of the neutral if he uses an overlapping
neutral transfer contact in the automatic transfer switch.
Generator frame shall be connected to the equipment earthing system through a

separate equipment earth conductor. Additionally a local earth electrode might be
required if generator is appreciably remote from the main electrical room. Neutral
and frame of generator shall not be bonded except in the case of local neutral
earthing as mentioned above.
The generator set earthing shall be separate from the general earthing of the
building.
2.14 Alarm Annunciator
Annunicator shall be constructed or sturdy sheet steel enclosure having a

removable front panel and adaptor ring.
Annuniciator shall be flush mounting unit. The face of the front panel shall
incorporate nine lamps, an audible alarm. A toggle switch marked NORMAL and
OFF, and a lamp test push-button switch. The printed circuits internal wiring,
terminal block and battery voltage sensors shall be accessible on removing the
front panel.
The nine lamps shall be for:
1- Generating Power
2- Failed to Start
3- Low Lube Oil Pressure
4- Excessive Water Temperature
5- Engine Over Speed
6- Low Fuel Supply
7- Low Battery Voltage
8- High Battery Voltage
9- Low Water Jacket Temperature
Annunciator panel shall operate on DC source taken from the batteries of the
generator it-self.
Audible Alarm shall sound for the above status except for 1, 7 & 8.
2.15 Tests on Site
Tests and inspection procedures shall be formulated to check the performance

requirements and characteristics of the diesel generating sets.
2.16 Visual Inspection
Addendum no-3 15 of 188 FEBRUARY 2016

FOR M/s. wasl LLC.
All equipments which form part of the diesel generating plant shall be visually
inspected for damage and checked against the manufacturer
catalogues/drawings and schedule, for the following:
1- Type of generating set

2- Serial number
3- Engine details
4- Alternator, exciter and AVR
5- Rated speed
6- Rated voltage
7- Number of phases
8- Rated frequency
9- Rated KVA at continuous rating
10- Rated KW at continuous
11- Rated KVA at service rating
12- Rated KW at service rating

13- Ancillary equipment
2.17 Preliminary Inspection Check
Preliminary inspection check shall include the following:
1- Alignment of engine/alternator assembly on bed plate.

2- Installation of vibration isolators
2.18 Preliminary Running Test
Preliminary running test to check the following:
1- Engine start and stop control

2- Engine oil pressure
3- Generator voltage and frequency including phase sequence
4- Control and protection devices
5- Leaks in oil, water and exhaust
6- Excessive vibration
7- Adjustments of meters and potentiometer related to generated output
parameters.
2.19 Load tests
The set shall be run continuously for 8 hours test run at rated load followed by
110 percent of rated load of a period of one hour.
Every 15 minutes for the first hour and every hour thereafter, the following
parameters shall be recorded
1- All electrical output parameters associated with main alternator.

2- Parameters of charging alternator.
3- Measurements of all engine parameters
4- Lubricating oil consumption
FOR M/s. wasl LLC.
5- Cooling air medium flow
6- Alternator cooling air inlet and outlet temperatures.
2.20 Transient Load Switching
Resistive load shall be applied and switched ON and OFF in STEPS, with the
diesel generator running at rated speed and generating rated voltage.
Transient recordings of maximum, minimum and nominal voltage and frequency

levels together with the response time shall be obtained.
2.21 Insulation Test
1- Remove all external wiring between the plant and load bank/test panels.
2- Isolate sensitive electronic equipment in alternator and control panel as per

manufacturers recommendation.
3- Open any neutral earthing links.
4- Using 1000V meager check the insulation resistance:
a.) Between the load terminals and plant structure
b.) Between the generator terminals
5- Reconnect electronic equipment and neutral earth links.
2.22 Functional Test
The operation of interlocks and interconnections with all external equipment and
controls to be connected on site, shall be simulated as part of these tests.
Controls, Alarms and Protection
Local controls, alarms and shutdown functions associated with the generator set
installation shall be simulated and demonstrated on site. These tests shall
include, but not limited to the following:
1. High coolant temperature test

2. Over speed test
3. Low oil pressure test
4. Overcrank test to look after failure to start after five consecutive attempts.
2.23 Schedule Of Requirements
2.23.1 Schedule No. 1
Generator set reference:
1. Type of generating set operation: Prime/Standby]
2. load Data
- nominal voltage
- nominal current frequency
- steady state voltage tolerance
