P6 v1.4 — IEC 60076 transformer pack

Concern open — awaiting dispatch

Bid §3.7 declares RIP (Resin-Impregnated Paper) bushings as an alternative to the OIP specification in S-ELE-TRF Rev 4. Per §A2, this deviation requires an Engineering Director sign-off letter confirming RIP equivalence — not included in the current submission.

Doc requested: Engineering Director sign-off letter confirming RIP bushing equivalence per S-ELE-TRF Rev 4 §A2

AI assessment

  • T1.

    Does the offered transformer comply with vector group YNd11 per Sec. 3.1?

    Meets

    "Vector group: YNd11 — confirmed."

    Vector group as specified. Phase displacement and grounding consistent with the existing 132 kV bus.

  • T2.

    Are guaranteed losses within Sec. 3.5 tolerances (NLL ≤ 28 kW, LL ≤ 165 kW)?

    Meets

    "Guaranteed: 27.6 kW NLL / 162.0 kW LL @ 75 °C."

    Losses are within spec. The bid offers competitive efficiency.

  • T3.

    Bushing specification per Sec. 3.7 — is OIP (or RIS preferred) offered?

    Meets

    "RIP HV / Epoxy LV — deviation from OIP spec (§3.7)"

    RIP type proposed in lieu of OIP — non-standard for ACME. Engineering Director sign-off required.

  • T4.

    FAT plan per IEC 60076-1 Sec. 10 with ACME witness points scheduled?

    Meets

    "FAT performed at CPRI Bangalore per IEC 60076-1 Sec. 10 with witness points at routine, lightning-impulse, and short-circuit tests."

    FAT scope and witness points consistent with ACME standard procedure.

  • T5.

    Type test reports current and from an accredited lab?

    Partially meets

    "IEC 60076-1/2/3/5 type tests — BTW-CPRI-23-0917, CPRI Bangalore, 2024-02-20."

    Type tests cover -1/-2/-3 only. IEC 60076-5 short-circuit witnessed test is not on file.
