offered values during evaluation as well as during testing oftransformer.
c) Bids offering with losses beyond the maximum limits mentioned above shall be treated as
non-responsive andrejected.
d) Loss Capitalization shall be done with the accepted bids with loss values within specified
limit . For the purpose of evaluation of bids, the capitalized cost of iron loss, load loss and
auxiliary loss (KW) shall be added to the quoted price of the transformer at the following

ii) Capitalized value of load loss perKW – Rs. 2,02,345/-

iii) Capitalized value of Auxiliary loss per KW – Rs. 1,98,377/-
e) However once a bidder becomes successful on the basis of loss capitalization with certain

1 Voltage ratio at no load on principal The lower of the following values:

tapping for a specified first pair of ±0.5 % of declared ratio
windings ±1/10 of the actual percentage impedance on
the principaltapping

2 Voltage ratio on other tapings, same pair To be agreed, but not less than the lesser of
the values in a) and b)above

3 Voltage ratio for further pairs To be agreed, but not less than the lesser of
the values in a) and b)above

WBSETCL / TECH SPEC / Rev.-6.1 Page 30of 47 Power Transformer

 4 Short-circuit impedance for:
– a separate-winding transformer with two
windings, or
– a specified first pair of separate windings
in a multi-windingtransformer
When the impedance value is ≥10 % : ±7,5 %
of the declaredvalue
a) principaltapping When the impedance value is <10 % : ±10 %
of the declaredvalue

When the impedance value is ≥10 % : ±10 %

b) any other tapping of thepair of the declaredvalue
When the impedance value is <10 %: ±15 %
of the declaredvalue

5 Short-circuit impedance for:

– an auto-connected pair of winding,or
– a specified second pair of separate
windings in a multi-windingtransformer
a) principaltapping ±10 % of the declared value
b) any other tapping of thepair ±15 % of the declared value for that tapping
c) further pairs ofwindings To be agreed, but ≥15 %

6 No-load current +30 % of the declared value

NOTE - For certain auto-transformers and booster transformers the smallness of their impedance
justifies more liberal tolerance. Transformers having large tapping ranges, particularly if the range
is asymmetrical, may also require special consideration. On the other hand, for example, when a
transformer is to be combined with previously existing units, it may be justified to specify and
agree on narrower impedance tolerances. Matters of special tolerances shall be brought to
attention at the tender stage, and revised tolerances agreed upon between manufacturer
andpurchaser.

NOTE - 'Declared value' should be understood as meaning the value declared by the
manufacturer.

43. DRYING OUT AT THE MANUFACTURER’SWORKS:

All the Tests shall be conducted after complete Drying out at the works. The transformer shall be
despatched complete after being dried out under vacuum and filed with inert gas, ready to be put
into commission, without further drying out at site.

44. SUPERVISION OF ERECTION, TESTING &COMMISSIONING:

The MANUFACTURER shall arrange for the services of their Supervisor/Engineer from the
manufacturer during erection, testing and commissioning of the equipment at sites at free of cost
as many time as required by WBSETCL.

 45. General Note

A) A tentative I/O signal list of BCU of RTCC is mentioned in the technical specification.
However the detail exhaustive I/O signal list will be finalized during detail Engineering.

Annexure- 1

Definitions of a similar transformer

[ As per IS-2026 PART-5 ]

Transformers similar to a reference transformer can be identified by comparison using the following
non-exclusive list of critical features:

1. Same type of operation, for example generator step-up unit,

distribution, interconnection transformer as the referenceunit;

2. Same arrangement of main windings and geometrical sequence as the referenceunit:

3. Same type of main windings for example, helical, disc, layer, pancake, as the referenceunit.

4. Absorbed power at short-circuit (rated power per unit short-circuit impedance)

between 30% and 130 % of that of the referenceunit;

5. Axial forces and relative winding stresses (ratio of actual stress to critical stress) at short-
circuit not exceeding 120% of those in the referenceunit;

6. Same type of winding conductors, for example, aluminum, aluminum alloy, annealed or
hardened copper, metal foil, wire, flat conductor, continuously transposed conductors and
epoxy bonding, if used, as the referenceunit;

7. Same manufacturing processes as the referenceunit;

8. Same clamping and supporting arrangement.

9. Same conceptual design, for example dry-type, oil-immersed type, core type with concentric
windings, sandwich type, shell type, circular coils, non-circular coils as the referenceunit.
