1.21.2 ACCEPTANCE AND ROUTINE TESTS
All acceptance and routine tests as stipulated in the latest IEC- shall be carried out by the
supplier in the presence of DGVCL’s representative. The supplier shall give at least 7 days
advance intimation to the DGVCL to enable them to depute their representative for witnessing
the tests. The partial discharge shall be carried out as routine test on each and every completely
assembled RMU gas tank and not on a sample basis. As this test checks and guarantees for the
high insulation level and thus the complete life of switchgear.
During the above tests the contractor representative should be present till the RMUs are put in to
service.
The supplier shall keep the DGVCL informed in advance, about the manufacturing programme so
that arrangement can be made for inspection. The DGVCL reserves the right to insist for
witnessing the acceptance/routine testing of the bought out items. The DGVCL has rights to
inspect the supplier’s premises for each and every consignment for type & routine test.
No material shall be dispatched from its point of manufacture unless the material has been
satisfactorily inspected and tested / unless the same is waived by the DGVCL in writing.
The good/equipments/ materials shall be dispatch first form manufacturer place to RSO Navsari of
DGVCL. From RSO Navsari the material will be re-issued to contractor for execution at work site.
The bidder shall invariably furnish following information along with his offer / in case of event of
order. I. Statement giving list of important raw materials including but not limited to
c) Sealing material
Name of sub-suppliers for the raw materials, list of standards according to which the raw
materials are tested, list of test normally carried out on raw materials in presence of Bidder’s
representative, copies of test certificates.
II. Information and copies of test certificates as in (I) above in respect of bought out accessories &
raw materials. III. List of areas in manufacturing process, where stage inspections are to be carried
out.
IV. Normally carried out for quality control and details of such tests and inspections. V. Special
VI. List of testing equipment available with the Bidder for final testing of RMUs and associated
combinations vis-à-vis the type, special, acceptance and routine tests specified in the relevant
standards. These limitations shall be very clearly brought out in the relevant schedule i.e.
schedule of deviations from specified test requirements. The supplier shall, within 15 days from
the date of receipt of Purchase Order submit following information to the DGVCL.
a) List of raw materials as well bought out accessories and the names of sub-suppliers selected
from those furnished along with offer.
b) Necessary test certificates of the raw material and bought out accessories.
The supplier shall submit the routine test certificates of bought out items and raw material, at the
time of routine testing of the fully assembled breaker.
1.23 TRAINING:
The supplier shall give rigorous training to the engineers & staff for 2 days in attending
trouble shooting and maintenance.
The RMU should be provided with provision of following minimum signals available at separate
SCADA terminal box.
The tenderer shall submit along with his tender dimensional general arrangement drawings of
the equipments, illustrative and descriptive literature in triplicate for various items in the RMUs
which are all essentially required for future automation.
a. Copies of printed and bound volumes of operation, maintenance and erection manuals in
English along with the copies of approved drawings and type test reports etc.
b. Sets of the manuals as above shall be supplied to the Chief Engineer/Distribution. A soft copy
of the all Technical and Drawing furnished in a CD
a. Name of manufacturer
d. Rated frequency
g. Rated short time current and its duration h. Purchase Order number and date
k. Feeder name (Incoming and Outgoing), DTs Structure name, 11000 Volts Dangers etc.
NOTE:
I) THE WORD RATED NEED NOT APPEAR ON THE NAME PLATE. RECOGNIZED ABBREVIATIONS
MAY BE USED TO EXPRESS THE ABOVE PARTICULARS.
II) WHETHER THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS FITTED WITH CLOSING/TRIPPING DEVICES NECESSITATING
The sensors to be bushing mounted. The number of FPI should be put in all the three phases of the
outgoing branch of the RMUs
FPI should have suitable connectivity with the FRTUs for the SCADA purpose.
The FPI inside the RMU may be non communicable and hard wired to the TB for the signals
1.28 TROPICALISATION
Due regard should be given to the climatic conditions under which the equipment is to work.
Ambient temperatures normally vary between 20 deg C and 40 d e g C, although direct sun
temperature may reach 45 deg C. The climate is humid and rapid variations occur, relative
humidity between 60% and 95% being frequently recorded, but these values generally correspond
to the lower ambient temperatures. The equipment should also be designed to prevent ingress of
vermin, accidental contact with live parts and to minimize the ingress of dust and dirt. The use of
materials which may be liable to attack by termites and other insects should be avoided.
1.29 MOTORIZATION:
All the functions within the RMU i.e Isolators/Breakers should be fitted with motor mechanism and
closing coil making it suitable to make it on from remote.( However, manual mechanism should be
possible in case of failure/ non working of motor)
1.30 METERING:
Multifunction Energy meter shall be provided by DGVCL, of accuracy class of 0.5s at incoming
isolator of all RMUs. The Metering CTs and PTs of suitable rating shall be provided and wired in
SCADA terminal TBs by the bidder.
II. No of Phases :3
Isolating distance between ON and OFF position in isolator :80 mm (min). Rated
Operating mechanism: Circuit breaker with spring assisted anti reflex mechanism. Rated
frequency : 50 Hz
& Ring switches & Number of mechanical/ remote operations for circuit breakers 60298
DGVCL/SP/1004/Project/Khajod/Technical Specifications Page 35/44
1.36 TRAINING:
All successful tenderer for RMU shall provide training facility for DGVCL’s engineers. The training
shall be for not less than 4 man weeks for operation and maintenance of RMU. Syllabus and other
details of the training shall be finalized in consultation with the DGVCL. Boarding, lodging and
travel expenses for deputed trainees shall be borne by DGVCL. Charges for training shall be
quoted by in the offer separately. This will not be considered for evaluation of the offer.
