Additionally required project data Example:
- Name of the end customer
KPLC
- country of transformer installation
Kenya
- end customer specification
Enables MR to add end-customer specific accessories
KPLC schematic
Transformer manufacturers benefits:
- Drawings & schematics are already in line with end custumer requirements
- Price is more representative (Quoted price comes very close to final price in case of order)

Summary: Required information
- Power rating (MVA) - Number of phases (Single- or Three-Phase?) - Vector group - Regulated Voltage (kV) - Regulating range (%) - Number of steps - Connection type (linear, reversing, coarse/fine?) - In case of Delta connection: Regulation at line end or in center? - In case of auto transformer: Constant voltage (kV) - OLTC voltage stresses during transformer testing, for example in case of Neutral End application: BIL (OLTC)
- Name of the end customer & country of transformer installation
- Only OLTC prices required or also the enclosures (dimension drawings, schematics etc.)?
