The document discusses specifications for control panels, including requirements for fuse bases, space heaters, and earthing. Fuse bases must be rated for at least 9kA and imprinted with the fuse rating and voltage. Each panel must include a thermostatically controlled space heater rated for 240V AC to prevent moisture condensation. The panels must be equipped with an earth bus of at least 25x6mm copper, with threaded holes for connecting cable armor, equipment, and extending earthing to future panels. Provisions must also be made on end panels for connecting to the substation earthing grid.

type fuse bases.

The short time fuse rating of Fuses shall be not less than
9 KA. Fuse carrier base shall have imprints of the fuse 'rating' and
'voltage'.
9.4. Space Heater: Each panel shall be provided with a thermostatically
connected space heater rated for 240V, single phase, 50 Hz AC supply for
the internal heating of the panel to prevent condensation of moisture. The
fittings shall be complete with switch unit.
10. EARTHING
10.1. All panels shall be equipped with an earth bus securely fixed. Location of
earth bus shall ensure no radiation interference from earth systems under
various switching conditions of isolators and breakers. The material and
the sizes of the bus bar shall be at least 25 X 6 sq.mm copper with
threaded holes at a gap of 50 mm with provision of bolts and nuts for
connection with cable armours and mounted equipment etc for effective
earthing. When several panels are mounted adjoining each other, the
earth bus shall be made continuous and necessary connectors and
clamps for this purpose shall be included in the scope of supply of
Contractor. Provision shall be made for extending the earth bus bars to
future adjoining panels on either side.
10.2. Provision shall be made on each bus bar of the end panels for connecting
Substation earthing grid. Necessary terminal clamps and connectors for
this purpose shall be included in the scope of supply of Contractor.
10.3. All metallic cases of relays, instruments and other panel mounted
equipment including gland plate, shall be connected to the earth bus by
copper wires of size not less than 2.5 sq. mm. The colour code of
earthing wires shall be green.
10.4. Looping of earth connections which would result in loss of earth
connection to other devices when the loop is broken, shall not be
permitted. However, looping of earth connections between equipment to
provide alternative paths to earth bus shall be provided.
10.5. VT and CT secondary neutral or common lead shall be earthed at one
place only at the terminal blocks where they enter the panel. Such
earthing shall be made through links so that earthing may be removed
from one group without disturbing continuity of earthing system for other
groups.
10.6. An electrostatic discharge point arrangement shall be provided in each
panel so as to discharge human body before he handles the
equipments inside the panels.
11. INDICATING INSTRUMENTS & TRANSDUCERS FOR CONTROL
PANEL:
All instruments, meters and transducers shall be enclosed in dust proof,
moisture resistant, black finished cases and shall be suitable for tropical
use. All megawatt , megavar, Bus voltage and frequency indicating
instruments shall be provided with individual transducers and these shall
be calibrated along with transducers to read directly the primary
quantities. They shall be accurately adjusted and calibrated at works and
