Section 6 - Employer’s Requirements ICB No: HDI/ICB/GIS/HTD-INA

The transformer shall be designed to withstand for short circuit duration of 2

seconds for Thermal stress and the same shall be verified during design review.

3.8. The maximum flux density in any part of the core and yoke at the rated MVA,
voltage and frequency shall be such that under 10 % continuous over-voltage
condition it does not exceed 1.9 Tesla at all tap positions.

3.9. Transformers shall withstand without damage, heating due to the combined
voltage and frequency fluctuations which produce the following over fluxing
conditions:

110 % for continuous

125 % for 1 minute
140 % for 5 seconds

3.10. The air core reactance of HV winding of transformer shall not be less than
20% for 400kV class Transformer.

3.11. Tertiary Windings (if applicable as per Annexure - A)

The tertiary windings shall be suitable for connection of reactors or capacitors

which would be subjected to frequent switching and shall be suitable for
connection to LT Transformer for auxiliary supply. All the windings shall be
capable of withstanding the stresses which may be caused by such switching.
The Tertiary winding shall be designed to withstand mechanical and thermal
stresses due to dead short circuit on its terminals.

3.12. Radio Interference and Noise Level

The transformers shall be designed with particular attention to the

suppression of harmonic voltage, especially the third and fifth so as to
minimize interference with communication circuit.

The noise level of transformer, when energized at normal voltage and

frequency with fans and pumps running shall not exceed the values specified at
Annexure - A, when measured under standard conditions.

3.13. Dynamic Short Circuit Test requirement

3.13.1. For 400 kV Class Auto transformer

For 315 MVA, 400/220/33kV, 3-Phase Auto transformer

Manufacturer should have successfully carried out Dynamic Short Circuit test as
per IEC in accredited laboratory (accredited based on ISO/IEC Guide 25/17025 or
EN 45001 by the national accreditation body of the country where laboratory is
