TRANSFORMER OIL
Transformers shall be insulated with new (unused) mineral oil. The oil shall meet the requirements of ANSI C57.12.00, Article 6.6.1 (1), ANSI C57.106 and ASTM 3487 Type II. The transformer nameplate shall indicate that the PCB content of said transformer is less than 1 PPM or at time of manufacture gas chromatographic analysis certified non-detectable PCB. The oil shall be inhibited mineral oil containing 0.2 % by weight DBPC. The nameplate shall show the gallons of oil.

9.1

NOISE
Transformer sound levels shall not exceed the values specified in the latest revision of NEMA Publication TR 10.11.

10 PAINT FINISH
10.1 The transformer shall have a corrosion resistant finish that shall be capable of meeting the functional specifications or exceed paint requirements of ANSI C57.12.28, latest revision. The outside shall be properly prepared, primed and painted with highly weather resistant finish coat. All transformers shall have the manufacturers premium paint system. 10.2 Transformers shall be given a phosphatizing bath, or sand blasted, grit blasted or shot blasted, then primed with epoxy or vinyl primer. Transformers shall have a corrosion resistant finish that shall be capable of meeting the functional specifications or exceed ANSI c57.12.28. The exterior finish coat shall meet or exceed the following: be semi-gloss polymer , free of runs and sags, primed with a primer, no less than 2.0 mils dry thickness and a coat of semi-gloss polymer type enamel paint no less than one (1) mil dry thickness (total measured thickness 3 mils). 10.3 Pole Mounted Transformers the finish coat shall be semi-gloss sky gray similar in color to ANSI Standard no. 70. The transformer top shall meet or exceed the following: have at least 10 mils of paint. The transformer sides and bottom shall have at least 3 mils of paint. The inside of the transformer shall have at least 3 mils of paint from a point 2 inches below the oil level up to and including the top. Complete painting of the inside is acceptable. 10.4 Pad Mounted Transformers - the finish coat shall be semi-gloss olive-green gray similar to Munsel no. 7GY3.29/1.5. The interior cabinet surfaces shall be primed and finished, with no less than 2.0 mils dry thickness 10.5 NAMEPLATES 10.5.1 Nameplates shall be made of stainless steel or anodized aluminum and permanently marked with essential operating data meeting ANSI standard c57.12.00 for nameplate b. 10.5.2 The transformer nameplate shall specifically state that the transformer is filled with Mineral Oil and the number of gallons of oil it contains. 10.5.3 The nameplate shall indicate that the PCB content of said transformer is less than 1 ppm or that at the time of manufacture gas chromatographic analysis certified non-detectable PCB. 10.5.4 Each nameplate shall contain a transformer bar code. The bar code label shall meet all requirements of IEEE standard c57.12.35 1996. 10.5.5 The bayonet and current limiting fuse part numbers will be displayed on the nameplate for all Padmount units 10.5.6 Nameplates shall be mechanically fastened with rivets, bolts, screws or corner tack welds.

12 TESTS
12.1 Each transformer shall receive complete tests at the factory in accordance with latest ANSI standards. At the option of the district, transformers may be tested for acceptance upon receipt. 12.2 All transformers manufactured under this specification shall be tested for core and winding (copper) losses at 85oC, percent impedance at 85oC, and exciting current (100% voltage and subjected to a full wave voltage impulse). Actual loss data shall be prepared in accordance with the bid form. 12.3 Vendor shall supply verification that the design has passed short circuit criteria per ANSI C57.12.00 and c57.12.90 latest revision. 12.4 Guaranteed losses: the losses submitted by the bidder for bid evaluation shall be considered as guaranteed losses by the district. DOE efficiencies will be calculated off of these quoted losses. 12.5 Certified test reports shall be furnished to the district at time of delivery or invoicing of transformers. Invoices must reference serial number of transformer, bid item and quoted losses. No payment will become due until proper serial numbers and the corresponding certified test reports are received by the district.

13 WORKMANSHIP, MATERIAL, AND FINISH

13.1 All workmanship and material used on the equipment shall be first class, the best of their respective kinds and shall be in full accordance with the most modern manufacturing practices for distribution transformers.

14 DELIVERY METHODS
14.1 Destination 14.1.1 The transformers shall be shipped f.o.b. destination to 1150 Hawley Street, Wenatchee, WA. 98801. The delivery will be accepted Monday through Friday between the hours of 9:00 am and 2:00 pm. No delivery of transformers will be accepted on holidays. Please call the Hawley Street Warehouse Forman at (509) 663-8121, ext. 4730, 24 hours prior to delivery. No transformers will be received on national holidays. 14.2 Methods 14.2.1 Polemount transformers shall be filled with the proper amount of transformer oil and shipped, completely assembled, in an enclosed van. 14.2.2 Padmount transformers rated up to 300 KVA shall be shipped on individual pallets made with 4 by 4 lumber minimum (one transformer per pallet) and securely attached to the pallets to facilitate handling with forklift and shipped, completely assembled, in an enclosed van. 14.2.3 Padmount transformer rated 500-2500 KVA shall be capable of being unloaded with an overhead crane (skids are not required on these sizes) and must be shipped on flatbed trailers and tarped or otherwise protected from the elements during shipping. 14.3 Rejection Of Shipment 14.3.1 Transformers exhibiting damaged parts, broken securing devices, or are dirty from lack of proper shipping, shall be cause for rejection of shipment.
