3 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
The list of the reference documents is indicated in the following paragraphs.
In case of discrepancy between these Specifications and any of the applicable Codes and
Standards, the following order of precedence shall apply:
1) TAQA/ADDC/AADC specifications
2) applicable reference standards
3) other documents.
The Supplier shall note that compliance of the manufacturer with the provision of these
specifications does not relieve him from his responsibility to supply the equipment and accessories
of proper design, electrically and mechanically suited to meet the operating guarantees at the
specified service conditions.
5.3.1 General
The Switchgear shall be dust & vermin proof construction and metal enclosed to FORM 4b of IEC
61439-2. The cubicles shall be internally partitioned to form individual metal enclosed
compartments.
The terminals for external conductors shall not be in the same compartment as the associated
functional unit, but in individual, separate, enclosed protected spaces, or compartments. All
separation shall be by metallic or non-metallic, rigid barriers, or partitions. Cables to be glanded
in common cabling chamber(s) (conforming to Type 6 of BS EN 61439-2).
For the sake of allowing the implementation of the proper earthing arrangement, depending on
whether the site classification (i.e. HOT or COLD), gland plate(s) shall be designed in a way that
they can be electrically isolated – via removable links – from the Switchgear frame/structure. The
removable links shall:
• Ensure electrical continuity when they are installed
• Be of suitable size against the maximum anticipated ground fault current
• Be in easily accessible positions
• Be removable with standard tools.
The frames of the switchgear shall be fabricated using suitable mild steel structural sections or
pressed and shaped cold-rolled galvanised sheet steel. Frames shall be enclosed in cold-rolled steel
U-channels. Doors and covers shall be made of cold rolled sheet steel as well.
Enclosures shall have mechanical impact resistance of IK10 as per IEC 62262. Frame thickness
shall be minimum 1.5mm. Test certificates for mechanical impact shall be provided for approval.
Edges and cover/door edges shall be reinforced against distortion by rolling bending or by the
addition of welded reinforcement member.
The switchgear shall be resistant to salt mist and tested accordingly based on IEC 61439-1.
The switchgear shall also be resistant to clamp heat according to IEC 68-2-30.
The complete structures shall be rigid, self-supporting, and free from flaws, twists and bends. All
cut outs shall be true in shape without sharp edges and shall be provided with neoprene/synthetic
rubber gasket.
Switchgears shall be supplied with base frame made of structural steel sections. Supplier shall
provide all necessary mounting hardware required for welding the base frames to the insert plates.
Switchgears shall be easily extendable on both sides.
The housing should be constructed so that they will be suitable for future extensions at either ends
and will allow for interchangeability of Switchgears. Provision shall be made for bottom cable
5.6.13.1 General
Provision for cable termination of LV Cables up to 4/C, 400 mm2 conductor shall be made for each
outgoing feeder.
Identification for LV outgoing cables shall be marked permanently above or below the respective
feeder according to Standard Technical Specification S-GEN-ID – “Components Marking and
Identification”.
5.6.13.2 LV Cable Supports and Cleats
Steel cable supports and non-ferrous cleats shall be provided and fixed above LV switchgear base
frame just below cable break-out position. They shall be adequate to support the cable in normal
service and when subject to short-circuit. Means shall be provided to seal cable entries into LV
compartment. LV base frame cover fabricated in two half plates with sealable cable entry holes
shall be provided for vermin proofing of LV compartment.
Gland plate to be detachable to avoid cutting the cable while replacing the panel (type BW).
5.6.13.3 Labels
Each outgoing feeder shall have a blank engravable plastic circuit label of dimension 30mm x
30mm.
6.1 General
All Switchgears components shall be tested. The Supplier may be required to carry out any one or
all of the tests stated in this Specification under witness of TAQA/ADDC/AADC or their
representatives.
Testing Indoor Switchgear components assembly shall be performed in line with this specification
and in accordance with IEC 61439-2.
Acceptance by TAQA/ADDC/AADC’s representative of any unit shall not relieve the
manufacturer from any of his performance guarantees or from any other obligations.
Test certificates for each unit shall be submitted prior to delivery of the unit.
TAQA/ADDC/AADC reserve the right to perform checks during manufacturing process at any
time or all the times. It shall be at the discretion of TAQA/ADDC/AADC to witness tests on 100%,
or any percentage quantity of each lot for routine tests, apart from the type tests, wherever called
for.
Testing of Indoor Switchgear assemblies shall include the factory and site tests.
6.2 Factory test
6.3.4.1 General
Upon installation of the VTs and CTs they shall be tested in the
presence of TAQA/ADDC/AADC engineers or their representatives.
The site tests shall be performed as applicable and shall comprise but not limited to the
following:
6.3.4.2 Voltage Transformers
• Visual and wiring checks.
• Insulation test.
• Ratio tests.
• Functional checks.
• Polarity checks.
6.3.4.3 Current Transformers
• Visual and wiring checks.
• Insulation test.
• Ratio tests.
• Functional checks.
• Polarity checks.
• Magnetization test.
9 EXCEPTIONS
Possible exceptions to the present prescriptions, concerning the adoption of technical and/or
manufacturing aspects different from the ones prescribed in the present specification, can be
evaluated by TAQA/ADDC/AADC.
In such a case, TAQA/ADDC/AADC will take into account the opportunity to require additional
tests with regard to the technical/manufacturing proposed solutions.
Such exceptions can be approved by TAQA/ADDC/AADC.
