PART 2: TECHNICAL
9.
GENERAL
9.1
Design
This specification covers the design, manufacture, testing, supply, delivery
and performance requirements of 33kV and 11kV pole mounted, single
pole, rod operated, field renewable, dropout, expulsion type,
distribution MV fuse cutouts and fuse links for use in the 33kV and
11kV lines of Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited.
The fuse cutouts shall be capable of being opened on load by means of a
built in load-breaking device of an arc chute type. Figure 1 illustrates a
typical MV load break fuse cutout with Arc Chute type interrupter.
In general, the fuse cutouts will be installed at branch poles or for the
protection of distribution ground mounted and pole mounted transformers
and for the protection of small power factor correction pole mounted
capacitors. The fuse cutouts offered shall be class 2 as defined in IEC
282-2.
The size of ground mounted transformers in Tanescos networks varies
between 315kVA and 1,250kVA. The size of pole mounted transformers
varies between 50kVA and 315kVA (three phase) and between 5kVA and
25kVA (single phase). The maximum load current of branch lines is 153A
and the standard size of pole mounted capacitor banks is of 600kVAr.
The bidder shall confirm or otherwise that it is an accepted good practice
among utilities to apply the fuse cutouts offered for the load breaking
duties listed above. Should any of these applications be forbidden the
bidder should record this on the technical data schedule.
The distribution MV load break fuse cutouts offered shall be in accordance
with IEC 282-2 or ANSI C37.41 and C37.42. Other equivalent standards
may also be considered.
For easy mounting of the fuse cutout and surge arrester on a standard
auxiliary crossarm, the complete mounting assembly, shall include the type
X extended N.E.M.A bracket c/w bolts, nuts and washers; with an
additional extension above, to give enough clearance between the mild
steel crossarm & the arrester.
S24-13
The X extended N.E.M.A bracket is a little bit longer (65mm) than the
N.E.M.A type B bracket. Figure 8 in TANESCO specification S13:
Crossarms and associated steelwork represents a typical type X extended
N.E.M.A bracket with an additional extension above. The same figure is
also attached in this specification for easy reference, see page 34.
Typical 11 kV and 33 kV surge arresters intended to be used by Tanesco
are represented in page 35 and page 36 respectively. Both 11kV and 33kV
surge arresters will also be mounted horizontally on the bracket mentioned
above. However, 33 kV surge arresters may preferably be installed
vertically on a crossarm parallel to the MV load break fuse Cutouts.
The distribution MV load break fuse cutouts described in this specification
are intended to correspond to typical, expulsion type fuse cutout devices,
similar to those already used in TANESCO's networks in order to take
advantage of the familiarity of the Tanescos staff with this kind of
equipment.
However, the bidder is free to propose alternative equipment provided
there is no reduction in the operating characteristics required. Indeed
Tanesco may be well disposed to alternatives with enhanced operating
characteristics, such as load break fuse cutouts, which would avoid the
necessity of operators having to use load breaking tools; or fuse cutouts in
which all three fuse tubes drop at the same time when one or two fuse
elements melt as a result of an earth fault or a two phase short circuit.
However, since the price might be a critical element in bid evaluation, the
bidder shall present the basic offer separately with an alternative offer.
A small number of distribution MV fuse cutouts may be installed in
locations at an altitude between 1,000m and 1,600m. The bidder shall take
this into account, in accordance with IEC 282-2, when considering the
basic impulse level and the rated maximum voltage required.
A de-rating of the continuous current rating of the load break fuse cutouts
due to altitude, along the lines of IEC 282-2, will be acceptable, but the derating factor shall be given in the technical data schedule.
9.2
Guarantee
All products shall be guaranteed in writing, against all defects arising
from faults in design, material and workmanship. The guarantee period
S24-14
shall not be less than twelve (12) months from commissioning date or
eighteen (18) months from the delivery date. This period shall be
extended to five (5) years to cover all defects attributable to inadequate
corrosion protection.
The manufacturer in collaboration with his local agent shall rectify all
defects notified within the above periods entirely at their own expenses.
If a faulty equipment has to return to works for repair under the above
guarantee clause, the manufacturer in collaboration with his local agent
shall cover the cost of transport from site to works and back again to site.
Should any design fault become apparent to Tanesco after the expiry of
the above guarantee periods, the manufacturer in collaboration with his
local agent shall deliver components necessary to correct the fault,
together with any necessary instructions and specialist assistance, free of
charge.
