In case of any order, the losses of successful bidder will be measured during

acceptance testing and if the figures of looses are found equal to or lesser than

specified above, the shunt reactor shall be accepted. However, if any of the loss

figure measured during acceptance test is found more than specified above, the

GUJARAT ENERGY TRANSMISSION CORPORATION LTD.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE WORK OF DESIGN, SUPPLY, ERECTION AND COMMISSIONING INCLUDING CIVIL WORK OF NITROGEN INJECTION SYSTEM FOR PROTECTION AGAINST THE FIRE & EXPLOSION FOR TRANSFORMER/ SHUNT REACTOR.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION NO. GETCO/E/TS-FF/2902 DTD.JUNE 2008.



TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Name of work: Turnkey contract for the work of design, supply, erection and commissioning of Nitrogen Injection system for protection against the explosion for 400 KV Transformers and Shunt Reactors as indicated in Annexure-I. The

scope of civil work for the same is in the bidder’s scope which includes all required civil works

including oil sump/tank, foundations etc., for satisfactory operation of NIFPES.

Each oil filled transformer / reactor shall be provided with a dedicated Nitrogen Injection system for prevention against the explosion which shall use nitrogen as quenching medium. The system shall prevent transformer / Reactor oil tank explosion and possible fire in case of internal / external cause. In the event of fire by external causes such as bushing fire. OLTC fires, fire from surrounding equipment etc., it shall act as a fast and effective fire fighter. It shall accomplish its role as fire preventer and extinguisher without employing water or carbon dioxide. Fire shall be extinguished within reasonable with time (not more than 3 minutes so as not to harm the shunt reactor) of system activation and within 30 seconds (maximum) of commencement of nitrogen injection. The system shall have been in successful operation / commissioned in Indian / Abroad installations for at least last five years for protection of transformers/ shunt reactor of 220 KV and higher voltage class. The list of past supplies in India / Abroad along with performance certificate from users of the system shall be submitted for approval of purchaser. Activation of the system Mal-functioning of the Nitrogen injection system could lead to interruption in power supply. The supplier shall ensure that the probabilities of chances of malfunctioning of the Nitrogen injection system are practically zero. To achieve this objective, the supplier shall plan out scheme of activating signals which should not be too complicated to make the system inoperative in case of actual need. The system shall be provided with automatic controls to prevent the explosion of transformer/ shunt reactor. Besides automatic control, remote electrical push button control at Control box and local manual control in the cubicle shall also be provided. The following electrical-signals shall be used for activating the system under prevention mode/fire extinguishing mode. Auto Mode For prevention:

• Differential relay operation.

• Buchholz relay paralleled with pressure relief valve or RPRR (Rapid Pressure Rise Relay)

• Tripping of all circuit breakers (on HV & LV/IV side) associated transformer / reactor is the pre-requisite for activation of system.



For extinguishing

• Fire Detector

• Buchholz relay paralleled with pressure relief valve or RPRR (Rapid Pressure Rise Relay).

Tripping of all circuit breakers (on HV & LV/IV side) associated with transformer / reactor is the pre-requisite for activation of system. Manual Mode (Local / Remote) Tripping of all circuit breakers (on HV & LV / IV side) associated with transformer / reactor is the pre-requisite for activation of system. Manual Mode (Mechanical)

• Tripping of all circuit breakers (on HV & LV / IV side) associated with transformer / reactor is the pre-requisite for activation of system.

The system shall be designed to be operated manually in case of failure of power supply to the system. General description Nitrogen Injection system should be a dedicated system for each oil filled transformer / reactor. It should have a Fire Extinguishing Cubicle (FEC) placed on a plinth at a distance of 5-10 M away from transformer / reactor or placed next to the firewall (if fire fighting wall exists). The FEC shall be connected to the top of transformer / reactor oil tank for depressurization of tank and to the oil pit (capacity is approximately equal to 10% of total volume of oil in transformer / reactor tank / or existing oil pit) from its bottom through oil pipes. The FEC should house a pressurized nitrogen cylinder (s) which is connected to the oil tank of transformer /reactor oil tank at bottom. The Conservator Isolation Valve (TCIV) is fitted between the conservator tank and Buchholz relay. Cable connections are to be provided from signal box to the control box in the control room, from control box to FEC and from TCIV to signal box. Detectors placed on the top of transformer / reactor tank are to be connected in parallel to the signal box by Fire survival cables. Control box is also to be connected to relay panel in control room for receiving system activation signals. Operation On receipt of all activating signals, the system shall drain - pre-determined volume of hot oil from the top of tank (i.e. top oil layer), through outlet valve, to reduce tank pressure by removing top oil and simultaneously injecting nitrogen gas at high pressure for stirring the oil at pre-fixed rate and thus bringing the



temperature of top oil layer down. Shunt reactor conservator isolation valve blocks the flow of oil from conservator tank in case of tank rupture / explosion or bushing bursting. Nitrogen occupies the space created by oil drained out and acts as an insulating layer over oil in the tank and thus preventing aggravation of fire. System components Nitrogen Injection system shall broadly consist of the following components. However, all other components which are necessary for fast reliable and effective working of the system shall deemed to be included in the scope of supply. CUBICLE (FEC) The Cubicle Frame shall be made of CRCA sheet of 3 mm (minimum) thick complete with the base frame, painted inside and outside with post office red colour (shade 538 of IS -5). It shall have hugged / hinged split doors fitted with high quality tamper proof lock. The doors, removable covers and panels shall be gasketted all round with neoprene gaskets. The degree of protection shall be IP55. The following items shall be provided in the Cubicle.

• Nitrogen gas cylinder with regulator and falling pressure electrical contact manometer.

• Oil drain pipe with mechanical quick drain valve.

• Electro mechanical control equipment for draining of oil of pre-determined volume and injecting regulated volume of nitrogen gas.
