Schedules for project, as applicable.
The latest revision of the following Codes and Standards shall be applicable for the
equipment/material covered in this TMSS. In case of conflict, the vendor/manufacturer may
propose equipment/material conforming to one group of Industry Codes and Standards
quoted hereunder without jeopardizing the requirements of this TMSS.

100 % of the rated output. Recovery to steady state regulation of ±0.5% shall
take place within 50 milliseconds.
4.2.7 The output ripple and switching noise including spikes shall not exceed 30
mVrms over a bandwidth of 30 MHz.

4.3.3).
4.3.2 Both the power supply units i.e. DC-DC converter and AC-DC
converter/DC-DC converter shall be arranged in such a way that the unit
which has been tripped due to input supply failure will automatically resume
the operation on restoration of the input voltage.
4.3.3 The converter shall be protected against voltage or current transients by the
use of appropriate surge equipment.
4.3.5 The converter shall be furnished with a current walk-in control circuitry to
limit the input inrush current upon application of input voltage.
