FOR
33KV & 11KV SWITCHGEARS
1.0 INTENT OF SPECIFICATION
The equipment to be furnished under this specification shall, unless otherwise stated, be
designed, constructed and tested in accordance with the applicable sections of the latest
revision of relevant International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) publication.
3.2 One (1) set of 11 kV Switchgear Line-up as per Single Line Diagram.
For the purpose of equipment design, the following data shall be taken into consideration:
5.1 The 33kV & 11kV switchgears will be used to supply power to various distribution circuits, as
well as nearby localities through 33kV & 11kV line feeders & transformer feeders.
5.2 The switchgears will be located indoors in a clean but hot, humid and tropical atmosphere.
5.3 For continuous operation at specified ratings, temperature rise of the various switchgear
components shall be limited to the permissible values stipulated in the relevant standards and/or
this specification.
5.4 The switchgears and their components thereof shall be capable of withstanding the mechanical
forces and thermal stresses of the short circuit current of the system without any damage or
deterioration of material.
5.5 Each substation will have two (2) 33kV Incomer circuit breakers. Before each circuit breaker, one
set of 3-phase off-load Isolator will be provided for isolation and ease of maintenance. These
Isolators will be mounted inside panels and mechanically interlocked with corresponding Circuit
Breakers so that isolators could not be operated when the breaker is in Service. Breakers will
have built-in earthing arrangement. As soon as the breakers are withdrawn, corresponding cable
terminals will be earthed. Rating of the isolators will be same as the breaker. These two breakers
will directly feed power to HV sides of two 33/11.5kV transformers. The 11kV switchgears shall
have two incoming and one bus-coupler circuit breaker feeders. Each incoming feeder shall be
rated to feed entire load of the switchgear. Under normal condition, two incoming feeders of the
switchgear shall operate independently with bus coupler open. There shall be provision for
manual/auto changeover of the supply from one incomer to the other through trip selector switch
and under voltage relays. In addition provision shall be made to run both the source in parallel at
11 kV.
5.6 The ratings of all equipment including bus bars of the switchgears shall be as shown in the
attached single line diagrams. Each incoming feeder shall be rated to carry continuously 110
percent of rated secondary current of the transformer feeding the switchgear. The rating of the
bus coupler feeder shall be equal to the rating of the incoming feeder.
5.7 11kV outgoing breakers shall be suitable for switching oil filled type L.T. transformers both under
loaded and unloaded conditions as well as feed power through long lines (partially cables & OHL
conductors).
When switching inductive and capacitive currents, the over voltages produced on any switching
duty shall be less than 2.5 p.u. Where the switching over voltages exceed 2.5 p.u., the
manufacturer shall provide appropriate metal oxide surge arresters on both cable and bus bar
sides of the circuit breaker, on each circuit to protect the system at no extra cost to the customer.
These surge arresters shall be mounted inside the panel.
