Bidders’ Clarification Request

As per Technical Specification: The switchgear shall

be of single phase enclosure.
As per the single line diagram, three phase enclosure
is required.
The 132kV GIS of three phase enclosure is
recommended.
Please kindly confirm.

We understand that as per subject specification, only

GIS with single phase enclosure design shall be
accepted. Please Confirm.

As per Single Line Diagram, Line traps, Capacitor

Voltage Transformer and Surge Arrester have been
shown as part of the GIS.
Please Confirm the limit of scope as Line Traps are
functional Air Insulated Switchgear type only and
confirm whether we shall include or not Earth &
Disconnector Switches as well as Surge Arrester for
Transformer feeder

As per Single Line Diagram, Capacitor Voltage

Transformer is required for the GIS Bays. We
understand that only Inductive Voltage
Transformer is required in place of Capacitor Voltage
Transformer for GIS Bays. Please confirm our
understanding.
Employer’s Response

Bidders are advised to comply with provisions of the

technical specification.

Not Confirmed. GIS design will be with THREE PHASE

ENCLOSURE.

The Surge Arresters, CVT and Line traps shall be

outdoor equipment

Confirm. Your understanding is correct but only for

the GIS Bay.

Bidders’ Clarification Request

In one and a half system, you have provided one bay

with double bus concept. However, in the tender
layout the same is shown as one and a half concept
only (132kV Karu). Please revise the layout and
provide the correct layout to analyze the actual
scope.

The bay configuration of 330kV system is considered

to one and a half CB scheme. However, the 362kV
Circuit breaker for shunt reactor bay is considered to
be double bus scheme. Please confirm if this remains
same or we have to propose a one and a half CB
scheme instead?

As per Single Line Diagram, Line traps, Capacitor

Voltage Transformer and Surge Arrester have been
shown as part of the GIS.
Please Confirm the limit of scope as Line Traps are
functional Air Insulated Switchgear type only and
confirm whether we shall include or not Earth &
Disconnector Switches as well as Surge Arrester for
Transformer feeder

As per Single Line Diagram, Capacitor Voltage

Transformer is required for the GIS Bays. We
understand that only Inductive Voltage
Transformer is required in place of Capacitor Voltage
Transformer for GIS Bays. Please confirm our
understanding.

As per Single Line Diagram, outgoing disconnectors

and Earth switches for OHL and transformers bays
are shown outside the scope of GIS. We propose to
include all outgoing Disconnectors & Earth Switches
within the GIS scope. Please confirm.

Please confirm if the line feeders need to be capable

of single pole operation?
Please confirm the type of interface: through Cable
or bushing or directly to Transformer
Employer’s Response

The SLD shows the scheme employed for Karu 132kV

Line. Quotation should be based on the SLD.

The arrangement for the shunt reactor bay shall

remain the same as stated in the Bidding Document.

The Surge Arresters, CVT and Line traps shall be

outdoor equipment

Confirm. Your understanding is correct but only for

the GIS Bay.

Bidders are advised to adhere to the Bidding

Document.

Bidders are advised to adhere to the Bidding

Document.
The type of interface shall be through cable for the
line and Bushings to the transformers.
