Please provide specification/Make/Models

We are considering the design ambient temperature will be 40 degC.
Our GIS product will only confirm all the relevant standards of IEC only.

Our offered GIS will have LSC-2A PM class as the system is double busbar system.

Panels with rating of 3150A will have forced cooling as per the type tested design. Panels
with rating below 3150A will be cooled by natural air flow.
The closing coil shall operate satisfactorily at all values of control supply voltage between
85-110% of the rated voltage as per the type tested design.

Spring charging motors shall be capable of starting and charging the closing spring twice
in quick succession without exceeding acceptable winding temperature
when the supply voltage is anywhere between 85-110% of rated voltage as per the type
tested design.

As per the type tested design, Closing time < 95 m and Opening time 1st release: < 65
ms ;2nd release: < 55 ms

In our type tested design, cable compartment cover is not applicable as the cable
compartment will be in gas only.

View ports are not applicable in the type tested design of GIS. We will provide mechanical
indicator for that purpose.

As per the type tested design, the current transformer will be outside the gas
compartment without dieelctric stress.

Our offered GIS products will have innercone cable termination. So, we need the cable
details of each feeder to make the offer. In the SLD, cable details of outgoing feeders are
given but the incoming feeders are missing.
As per the design standard, our offered GIS will have innercone cable termination which
have several benefits.1.INNER CONE type cable Termination is a pure GIS technology as
the cable termination takes place inside the SF6 GAS filled cable housing chamber
imparting greater dielectric insulation/strength at the points of cable termination. Hence,
chance of flashover at cable plugs is extremely less as compared to Outer Cone
Termination where the dielectric medium is AIR. Also, there is no effect of external
environment, moisture,dust etc. in-case of INNER CONE termination. 2.In case of GIS with
inner cone cable termination with multiple cable runs , each cable termination will have a
separate bushing for power cable termination inside the INNER CONE BUSHING. Here, in
case one cable termination is affected, the other cable termination points inside the
INNER CONE will not be affected as there is sufficient insulation between the cable
termination points inside the INNER CONE. However, in case of Outer cone multiple
cables are connected to one single cable bushing via back to back Tee plug arrangement.
Here, if one T-off plug is affected due to internal arc in cable compartment, the complete
cable termination bushing is rendered inoperative.3.Our 8DA10 GIS is satisfactory type
tested with inner cone termination in submerged condition (up to 2 feet) so that
uninterrupted power supply obtained in case of sub-station is submerged due to flood.
Please consider Inner cone cable termination for 33kV GIS.

Cable details are given in the SLD for the OG feeder and we will design the panels as per
the SLD requiremnet only. Later if cable size or no. of runs will get changed, additional
price will be considered as cable housing will be different for different cable
requirements.

End termination required for cables should be touch proof type of pfisterer make

The type tests performed on 33kV GIS are according to the international standards, Type
Tests as per clause 6 of IEC 62271-200 are performed on every design if;
1. Relevant design changes of the switchgear has taken place from the original type
tested design
2. The requirement for the tests within standard has changed.
Since above two mentioned points are not valid for our offered design, the submitted
type test reports are valid. Further we also confirm that no relevant change in
market/design has been implemented in the offered ed design after type testing.
Hence, we have not considered any type testing cost, as type tests are older than 5 years
from tender issue date. We do not forsee to perform re-type test on already type tested
product considering finanacial implication.
Stage inspection is not applicable in GIS as per the standard practice. We will arrange FAT
after preparing the complete panel
