TECHNICAL SPEICIFICATIONS FOR TRANSFORMER OIL AS PER IS: 335

1.0 SCOPE: The scope include manufacturing, refining, testing, packing and supply of high quality electrical insulating oil for use in EHV equipments, as per specification here under. No inhibitors shall be used in oil. 2.0 DESCRIPTION: Insulating oil shall be of high quality electrical insulating oil, manufactured using specially selected base stocks to help provide protection against oxidation and sludge formation. It shall be ensured for careful processing and handling so that insulating oil is stable and free of water and other contamination and remains so until it reaches for final use. Insulating oils shall be manufactured from predominantly naphthanic or paraffinic crude. This shall be indicated in the offer. Distillates from crude will be acid refined, hydrogen treated, solvent extracted or processed by suitable refining methods. 3.0 APPLICATIONS: It is intended to use this oil as an electrical insulation and oil as coolant in applications such as transformers, reactors, tap changes, switchgear, oil filled capacitors etc. This oil shall also make an important contribution to the efficiency of the solid insulation by penetrating into and filling the spaces between layers of winding. 4.0 PROPERTIES: The transformers oil shall be of low viscosity and shall offer the minimum resistance and maximum convective assistance to the flow. The oil shall be thin enough to penetrate into narrow ducts and assist in the circulation through transformer winding to prevent local over healing. It must have low pour point. The viscosity of oil shall be such that the flow is not significantly impeded. Low volatility for oil is desirable. Oil shall have excellent chemical stability such that degradation due to decomposition of high molecular weighed hydrocarbon molecules into lighter, more volatile fraction shall not occur at normal operating temperatures. The oil shall have high electrical strength, good impulse strength and good are quenching properties. It shall be clear, bright but non toxic. It shall be free from objectionable quantities of elemental and thermally unstable sulfur bearing compounds. If present, these compounds shall not cause corrosion

of certain metals used in transformer. There should be no significant quantity of furanic compounds detected in new oil. The oil shall have ability to resist transient voltage stresses caused by lightning strokes and high voltage switching surges. Good oxidation stability is principal requirement for longer service life of oil. It shall not contain detectable amounts of polychlorinated biphenyls. The specification of oil shall be as per Annexure - A attached with this specification. 5.0 TESTS: The test reports for the all the tests listed in Annexure - A shall be submitted with technical bid to justify technical particulars guaranteed by supplier. Type Test Certificates shall be of accredited laboratory (accredited based on ISO/IEC Guide 25 / 17025 or EN 45001 by the National accredition body of the country where laboratory is located), as per IEC / IS / technical specification. The type test reports shall not be older than FIVE years and shall be valid up to expiry of validity of offer. However, supplier shall carry out following tests at NABL approved laboratory on the samples selected from the each lot offered for inspection, in presence of GETCO representative, as listed in Annexure A, before dispatch. All the test reports shall be complied and submitted to GETCO for approval for dispatch clearance in spiral bound volume for each offered lot. Also, the same shall be sent to each consignee after dispatch clearance is issued. 6.0 QAP & FQP: QUALITY ASSURANCE PLAN: The bidder shall invariably furnish following information's along with his offer, failing which his offer shall be liable for rejection. Information shall be separately given for individual type of equipments offered. 1. QAP for incoming material, in process and final checks and testing. 2. Statement giving list of important raw materials, names of sub suppliers for the raw materials, list of standard according to which the raw materials are tested. List of tests normally carried out on raw materials in presence of bidder's representatives, copies of test certificates. 3. Information and copies of test certificates as in (i) above in respect of bought out accessories. 4. List of manufacturing facilities available. 5. Level of automation achieved and list of areas where manual processing exists. 6. List of areas in manufacturing process, where stage inspections are normally carried out for quality control and details of such tests and inspections. 7. Special features provided in the equipment to make it maintenance free.

8. List of testing equipments available with the supplier for final testing of transformer specified and test plant limitation, if any, for the special acceptance and routine tests specified in the relevant standards. These limitations shall be very clearly brought out in 'The schedule of divinations' for specified test requirements. Field Quality Plan shall be submitted with the technical bid. 7.0 PACKING & DISPATCH: Special care shall be taken during packing of oil for dispatch. The oil shall be supplied in grade-B, new steel drum/barrels conformity to IS: 1783 (latest) on non refundable basis. The capacity of steel barrels shall be 209 / 210 liters. Each barrel shall carry markings viz., IS:335, suppliers designation, classification, lot no. with date of manufacturing, quantity of oil, GETCO order No. and date, and special instruction for handling, etc. All the oil filled steel barrels shall be properly sealed for any in grease of moisture or contamination such that the oil is delivered free from moisture or any contamination by maintaining uniform quality at user end. Any incident of deterioration of properties at user end is noticed, then it will be at discretion of GETCO, to reject whole/part of supply delivered so far. Each oil delivery shall be accompanied by the documents specifying suppliers designation, oil classification, GETCO order no., and compliance certificate. Quantity verification: From the lot received by consignee, duly verified and checked by GETCO representative, sample will be selected randomly as per IEC 60475 and Gross weight of said drum/barrel will be done. The net weight of oil will be worked out after deducting the tare weight of the drum. Quantity in liters will be work out after considering density of oil at temperature of weighing. The shortages of oil, if any, found during verification will be applicable to whole lot on prorate basis and amount of shortage such arrived will be deducted from bills of the supplier. 8.0 GUARANTEED TECHNICAL PARTICULARS: (to be filled in and submitted with technical bid)
