TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Name of work: Turnkey contract for the work of design, supply, erection and
commissioning of Nitrogen Injection system for protection against the
transformer explosion for 400 KV Transformers and Shunt Reactors as indicated
in Annexure-I.
Each oil filled transformer / reactor shall be provided with a dedicated Nitrogen
Injection system for prevention against the transformer explosion which shall
use nitrogen as quenching medium. The system shall prevent transformer /
Reactor oil tank explosion and possible fire in case of internal / external cause.
In the event of fire by external causes such as bushing fire.OLTC fires, fire from
surrounding equipment etc., it shall act as a fast and effective fire fighter. It
shall accomplish its role as fire preventer and extinguisher without employing
water or carbon dioxide. Fire shall be extinguished within reasonable with time
(not more than 3 minutes so as not to harm the transformer) of system
activation and within 30 seconds (maximum) of commencement of nitrogen
injection. The system shall have been in successful operation / commissioned in
Indian / Abroad installations for at least last five years for protection of
transformers of 220 KV and higher voltage class. The list of past supplies in
India / Abroad along with performance certificate from users of the system shall
be submitted for approval of purchaser.
Activation of the system
Mal-functioning of the Nitrogen injection system could lead to interruption in

power supply. The supplier shall ensure that the probabilities of chances of
malfunctioning of the Nitrogen injection system are practically zero. To achieve
this objective, the supplier shall plan out scheme of activating signals which
should not be too complicated to make the system inoperative in case of actual
need. The system shall be provided with automatic controls to prevent the
explosion of transformers. Besides automatic control, remote electrical push
button control at Control box and local manual control in the cubicle shall also
be provided. The following electrical-signals shall be used for activating the
system under prevention mode/fire extinguishing mode.
Auto Mode
For prevention:
• Differential relay operation.

• Buchholz relay paralleled with pressure relief valve or RPRR (Rapid
Pressure Rise Relay)

• Tripping of all circuit breakers (on HV & LV/IV side) associated

transformer / reactor is the pre-requisite for activation of system.
For extinguishing
• Fire Detector
• Buchholz relay paralleled with pressure relief valve or RPRR (Rapid
Pressure Rise Relay).
Tripping of all circuit breakers (on HV & LV/IV side) associated with transformer
/ reactor is the pre-requisite for activation of system.
Manual Mode (Local / Remote)
Tripping of all circuit breakers (on HV & LV / IV side) associated with

Manual Mode (Mechanical)
• Tripping of all circuit breakers (on HV & LV / IV side) associated with

The system shall be designed to be operated manually in case of failure of

power supply to the system.
General description
Nitrogen Injection system should be a dedicated system for each oil filled
transformer / reactor. It should have a Fire Extinguishing Cubicle (FEC) placed
on a plinth at a distance of 5-10 m away from transformer / reactor or placed
next to the firewall (if fire fighting wall exists). The FEC shall be connected to
the top of transformer / reactor oil tank for depressurization of tank and to the
oil pit (capacity is approximately equal to 10% of total volume of oil in
transformer / reactor tank / or existing oil pit) from its bottom through oil pipes.
The FEC should house a pressurized nitrogen cylinder (s) which is connected to
the oil tank of transformer /reactor oil tank at bottom. The Transformer
Conservator Isolation Valve (TCIV) is fitted between the conservator tank and
Buchholz relay. Cable connections are to be provided from signal box to the
control box in the control room, from control box to FEC and from TCIV to signal
box. Detectors placed on the top of transformer / reactor tank are to be
connected in parallel to the signal box by Fire survival cables. Control box is
also to be connected to relay panel in control room for receiving system
activation signals.

Operation
On receipt of all activating signals, the system shall drain - pre-determined

volume of hot oil from the top of tank (i.e. top oil layer), through outlet valve, to
reduce tank pressure by removing top oil and simultaneously injecting nitrogen
gas at high pressure for stirring the oil at pre-fixed rate and thus bringing the
temperature of top oil layer down. Transformer conservator isolation valve
blocks the flow of oil from conservator tank in case of tank rupture / explosion
or bushing bursting. Nitrogen occupies the space created by oil drained out and
acts as an insulating layer over oil in the tank and thus preventing aggravation
of fire.

However, all other components which are necessary for fast reliable and
effective working of the system shall deemed to be included in the scope of
supply.
