4. Service Conditions
The Purchaser’s 11 kV system is 3 phase, 3 wire, 50 Hz. The substations may be installed
in effectively earthed and non-effectively earthed situations. When installed in non-
effectively earthed situations, significant voltage variations (up to line to neutral voltage)
may be produced at the neutral terminal during an earth fault.
The substations will be suitable for outdoor use at ground level in locations accessible to
the public.
The service conditions will be in accordance with Clause 1.2 of AS 60076.1, Part 1, with the
following exception that the maximum air temperature will be 40°C and the average daily
and annual air temperature will not exceed 35°C and 25°C respectively.
Although the transformer maximum air temperature will be 40°C per above Clause 4.3, the
High-voltage/low-voltage prefabricated substation items and all components are preferred
by the Purchaser to meet AS 62271.202 Clause 2.2.3 with a preferred temperature range
for items in this technical specification of -5degC to +50degC for very hot climates.
The ambient air is not materially polluted by dust, smoke, corrosive or flammable gases and
vapours; however, some substations may be installed in locations close to ocean beaches

that are subject to windborne salt spray. The mean relative humidity can vary between
40% and 90%.
Where not addressed and or specified by another Australian Standard or in another

technical specification or Annexure or Attachment or other applicable document(s) as noted
in this technical specification; any electronic equipment (EE) component part(s) of the High-
voltage/low-voltage prefabricated substation items whether in the enclosure or otherwise
must comply with AS 62103.
Any and all electronic equipment components shall be Fit for Purpose including in
alignment with the above noted Clause 4 Service Conditions this technical specification,
and required to function despite the failure of any air conditioning or forced air plant
servicing the items in this technical specification. Under AS 62103 Table 7 – Climatic
conditions, this is deemed to be EE that conforms to Type C (due to AS 62103 Table 7
NOTE 3), D (In storage) and E (During transport).
5. Design and Construction - General
5.1 Performance Parameters

Design and construction performance parameters are detailed in this specification and
supplemented by Attachment 1.
5.2 General
In alignment with the Purchaser’s previously accepted design type:
• The Purchaser prefers High-voltage/low-voltage prefabricated substations which are

cable-connected,
• Be fitted with a single transformer
5.2.1 The substations will be of aesthetic design and suitable for installation in public areas.
They will be weatherproof, rodent/bird proof and have all exterior surfaces finished flush
and free from protrusions of any kind except hinges and lifting lugs.
5.2.2 The overall design will ensure against unauthorised access to the energised components
inside, as well as against danger to the public in the event of a component failure or contact
with exposed transformer radiators.
5.2.3 The substations will be robust; they will be suitably stiffened and braced to prevent
distortion or damage under service conditions or during handling and transport. All sharp
points will be removed to prevent injury.
5.2.4 All bolts nuts and washers (fasteners, studs, lifting lugs etc.) will be to Australian Metric
Standards and be stainless steel Grade 316 or 304. Compatibility, with regard to corrosion
prevention, between the fasteners will be observed. To prevent binding, different grade
stainless steel nuts and bolts3 will be used together with anti-seizing lubricant on all bolt
threads. Tamper proof bolts will be used for all unenclosed components.
3
For example, 316 grade bolts and washers fitted with 304 grade nuts.

5.2.5 All metal work will be electrically bonded to permit earthing by the Purchaser. If a part
cannot be adequately bonded it will be constructed from a suitable insulating material
instead of metal. All earth straps will have a minimum cross-sectional area of 40 mm²
copper conductor.
5.2.6 The spacing of all adjacent parts will allow reasonable room for their proper inspection,
cleaning, painting and operation in service.
5.2.7 A ‘Very long term’ corrosion protection system, if not inherent in the construction materials
chosen, suitable for use in a ‘Category E-M, Very High Marine’ atmospheric environment
(as per AS 2312) is required for all internal and external surfaces. Finished coatings will be
heat resistant and non-corrosive. Exterior coatings will be coloured storm grey, N42 to AS
2700. Other long term corrosion protection systems, as used as standard in the industry,
may be considered by the Purchaser.
5.3 Functional Arrangement / Limiting Dimensions

5.3.1 Drawing 02-02-01 details the Purchaser’s dimensional limitations and HV Terminal position
for the substations, with the exception that the substation height dimension has been
relaxed and the substation height shall not exceed a maximum of 1670mm (equivalent to
the maximum dimensional height limitation of the Purchaser’s Square Type PMTs –
enclosure + plinth total height maximum). The transformer fins (only) of Items 3, 5, 8 and 9
are permitted to protrude 200 mm each side. Drawing 02-02-01 shows four hinged doors
are required, all hinged on their left side.
However, the Purchaser may consider alternatives that may exceed these dimensional
limitations while maintaining a compact footprint as optimally as possible while satisfying all
other requirements of this technical specification.
Any alternatives that exceed dimensional limitations are to have full information and details
provided by the Tenderer as to deemed affects on installation and any impacts (e.g. civil
footing designs as noted in this technical specification, especially with respect to changes in
the centre of gravity of plant, and related earthing grid and or step-touch potential
requirements).
The Purchaser has a preference for designs that, regardless of KVA rating, can be
exchanged/ replaced without the necessity to alter or remake existing high voltage and/or
low voltage terminations. Please note that past requirements for interchangeability were
applicable to the transformer only, and are not required for this technical specification.
5.3.2 Drawing 02-02-02 details the concrete plinth base dimensions that align with the above
dimensional limitations of the substations, which are standard for all transformer ratings.
The position of holding down bolts for the transformers, High-voltage and Low-voltage
switchgear are in accordance with the dimensions shown on the drawing.
5.3.3 Any offered substation dimensions that vary from the 5.2.1 Purchaser dimensions or other
proposed changes must require the Tenderer to comment on all affects and any and all
changes required to the concrete plinth base, position of holding down bolts or other.

5.4 Loading
The transformers will be suitable for loading in accordance with AS 2374. 7. No part of the
substation (for example; bushings, tapping switch, leads, switchgear or enclosure) will
impose restrictions on the loading capabilities.
5.5 Sound Level

The design and construction of each substation will be such that the sound level will be no
greater than the applicable ‘reduced limit’ as per Appendix AA of AS 2374.6.
5.6 Radio and Television Interference

with the tank cover removed.
The taut string metal to metal clearances of the lugged bushing terminals will be not less
than 100 mm, phase to phase, and 60 mm phase to earth. Note. Tenderers are
encouraged to review the disposition of the LV bushings on the transformers with a view to
minimising the EMF levels associated with the equipment.
The neutral connection to the star point on the secondary winding will be brought out of the
tank unearthed and insulated in the same manner as the phase terminals.
6.9.3 Marking of Terminals

The terminals will be marked in accordance with AS 60076. The use of adhesives to attach
marking plates will not be accepted.
6.10 Minimum Power Efficiency (MEPS)

All transformers must meet or exceed the minimum power efficiency levels specified in
Table 1 of AS 2374.1.2 - 2003 Minimum Energy Performance Standard (MEPS).
Transformers with efficiencies not meeting or improving performance upon these MEPS
levels are unacceptable.
During the term of the Contract, the Purchaser reserves the right to negotiate with the
Supplier to enhance the transformer power efficiency levels to meet any future
amendments to the MEPS requirement of AS2374.1.2.

6.11 Comparison of Tenders
6.11.1 Guaranteed load and no-load loss figures are to be specified in Attachment 1.
6.11.2 Load losses are to be corrected to a reference temperature of 75°C.
6.11.3 In evaluating the tenders, the Purchaser will capitalise the guaranteed losses and so
determine the economic advantages of the transformers offered. Capitalisation of losses
will be based on the guaranteed losses at the required power rating for each item as stated
in Attachment 1. Load losses will be those specified on the principal tapping. For this
contract, the following values will be used for the purpose of making a fair economic
comparison:
• F (No-load loss) = $ 6 300 / kW
• C (Load loss) = $ 1 800 / kW
F and C are the $/kW capitalisation figures for the no-load and load losses respectively.
6.11.4 As specified in AS 60076.1, the maximum allowable tolerance for the total losses for all
transformers to be supplied under this contract is +10%. For any transformer, the maximum
allowable tolerance for either the no-load loss or load loss is +15%, provided that the total
loss meets the above requirement of +10%. Where the total loss exceeds the +10 %
tolerance or either the no-load loss or load loss exceeds the +15 % tolerance, the
Purchaser reserves the right to reject the unit. As an alternative, the unit may be accepted
with the application of Liquidated Damages as described in the Liquidated Damages portion
of the Standing Order.
7. Design and Construction – Enclosure and Base
7.1 Enclosure
7.1.1 General
Drawings 02-02-01 and 02-02-02 detail preferred enclosure dimensions, however, as noted
previously, allowances for interchangeability of transformers are now no longer required
and henceforth any notations on drawings regarding same can be ignored.
The design of the enclosure will be such that it is not possible to contact energised parts
through air vents or other openings using pieces of wire or other means. A degree of
protection of at least IP46 in accordance with AS 60529 is required for the HV and LV
compartments.
The enclosure will be manufactured from marine grade aluminium MF 5052-H32 or

equivalent) or 3CR12 steel (or better).
The enclosure will be bolted by its internal return edge to the base. Access to the bolts will
be possible in the event of the need to change an enclosure in the field. The lower edge of
the enclosure will not overhang the edge of the base.
Sufficient ventilation will be provided for reliable operation of the substation. This means
that the ventilation and thermal design of the entire prefabricated substation and each
compartment part will be such that the ambient temperature inside the substation must not
be higher than the limits fixed for the components in their respective product standards (and

as per the Service Conditions stated in this technical specification), when the substation is
operating fully loaded including up to Emergency Cyclic Rating as per AS 2374.7.
De-rating of components is not preferred. Air ducts will be provided in that part of the
enclosure covering the transformer radiators. Such ducts will have a degree of protection
IP1X in accordance with AS 60529.
Any pop rivets used will be made from "Monel" or stainless steel. Any hinges will be
manufactured from grade 316 stainless steel and will have a minimum hinge pin diameter
of 10 mm.
Any seams (eg. door returns, door stay location brackets, etc) will be fully seam welded.
All surfaces (covers, etc.) will be sloped to prevent the accumulation of water.
Condensation within the substation will be prevented from dripping on the switchgear.
The prefabricated substation which complies with the maximum outer dimensions outlined
in Section 5.2.1 shall preferably be designed to conform with the internal arc withstand
requirements of AS 62271.202, Annex A, A.2.3 Prefabricated substations classified IAC-A,
for an IAC classification test prospective arc fault current of 20 kA for 1 second for 11 kV
HV Switchgear including Cable Box.
The Tenderer shall outline how the design meets the IAC Classification or outline
development plans including timelines to meet the IAC Classification. The Purchaser
reserves the right to negotiate a transition to the IAC compliant item that meets the limiting
dimensions.
Submissions with marginal increases in dimensions to accommodate the IAC classification

may also be considered provided such padmounted substations can be retrofitted to the
existing network. Acceptance of the increase in dimensions will be at the Purchaser's
discretion.
7.1.2 Doors
Four hinged, lift-off doors shall be provided as shown on Drawing 02-02-01. The doors will
be located a minimum of 30 mm above the surface of the base. Removable door sills and
gutters will be provided on both end doors to facilitate the laying in of cables. It is preferred
that side doors have the sills and gutters welded.
Doors will be fully recessed into and sit flush with the enclosure panel mullions. They will
have a return edge, not less than 24 mm, for adequate strength and stiffness. It will not be
possible to pry open the doors by inserting a screw driver or similar object and gain
unauthorised access to the switchgear compartments. The thickness of the door material
will be not less than 2.0 mm.
A suitable door seal material will be provided to prevent chafing and damage to painted
surfaces around the door and frame.
All doors will be fitted with 3-point locking to all items; the doors will be padlockable to

parts, including :
• To meet general Routine test requirements

• Dielectric test on the High Voltage interconnection
• Voltage withstand tests on auxiliary circuits
• Functional tests
• Verification of correct wiring
• Tests after assembly on site
11.3 Temperature Rise Type Test

The transformers to undergo the temperature rise test will be the fully assembled units,
including LV and HV switchgear. Extrapolations of temperature rise for guaranteed load
and no-load losses will be incorporated in the test report to verify conformance. During the
test, sealing around thermometers, etc. will be adequate to ensure the units are sealed
during the test. Also, tap switch operation will be free (that is, not overtightened) during the
test. Oil leaks during temperature rise tests will constitute failure of the unit.
11.4 Overload Temperature Rise Type Test

Tenderers are required to conduct a temperature rise test on the same unit that underwent
the temperature rise type test (refer to Clause 11.3) to verify that the maximum hot spot
winding temperature of 140°C is not exceeded when the ambient is 20°C for an overload
condition of 1.45 times the normal rated load on any tapping for up to 2 hours after
continuous operation at 0.6 times the normal rated load.

The results of this test will be incorporated in the test reports for temperature rise.
During the overload test, the LV switchgear assembly will be fitted with 400 A fuses to the
400 A fuse switches and 630 A fuses to the 630 A switches. All load terminals of the
assembly will be short circuited allowing overload currents to flow (1.45 times normal rated
load). Record temperatures of 'A' phase or the top most (whichever is vertically the highest)
load contact on each fuse switch.
Tenderers will state in the schedules the designed top oil/winding temperature rise for this
condition.
Oil leaks during temperature rise tests will constitute failure of the test.
11.5 Routine Pressure Tests

To prove that transformers have been adequately sealed, a routine pressure test will also
be performed. Each transformer will be pressurised to not less than 30 kPa with dry air. If
after 30 minutes, the pressure has not dropped more than 2 kPa, the transformer is
considered to have passed the test.
11.6 Acceptance Tests

11.6.1 Subsequent to delivery and before approval is given for full payment, the equipment may
be tested by the Purchaser to prove that it conforms with the requirements of this
specification.
11.6.2 Any equipment showing evidence of failure to comply with the requirements of this
specification will be liable to rejection.
11.7 Witnessing of Tests

11.7.1 The Purchaser reserves the right to witness all type tests and randomly witness routine
testing.
11.7.2 The supplier will give the Purchaser reasonable notice of when each and every type test
will be carried out.

11.8.1 One copy of the routine test results will accompany each unit delivered. A second soft copy
will be forwarded to the Purchaser’s Supervising Officer or Purchaser’s nominated contact
for the contract via electronic mail. (For Ergon Energy:
[email protected])
All test certificates will include the manufacturer’s serial number. On allocation, the
Purchaser’s transformer number (structured plant number), the order number, contract/item
