40. 11 KV / 33 KV ISOLATORS- (PART-A)

40.1 SCOPE

This specification provides for design, manufacture, testing at manufactures works, delivery of
outdoor station type 11KV and 33KV (Local) manual operating mechanism isolating without
earthing blades and complete in all respect with bi-metallic connectors. Operating mechanism,
fixing details etc. shall be as described herein.

40.2 PARTICULARS OF THE SYSTEM

The isolators to be provided under this specification are intended to be used on 3 phase A.C.
50 cycles, effectively grounded system. The nominal system voltages are 11 kV & 33 kV
respectively.

40.3 STANDARD

The Isolator shall comply in all respects with IS: 9921 or IEC Publication No.: 129. Equipment
meeting any other authoritative standard which ensures an equal or better quality than the
standard mentioned above will also be accepted.

40.4 TYPE & RATING

Isolators shall have three posts per phase, triple pole single throw, gang operated out-door
type silver plated contacts with horizontal operating blade and isolators posts arranged
vertically. The isolators will be double break type. Rotating blade feature with pressure
relieving contacts is necessary i.e. the isolator shall be described in detail along-with the offer.
However, the design of turn & twist arrangement shall be subject to owner’s approval.
(Banging type feature is not acceptable). All isolators shall operate through 90 degree from
their fully closed position to fully open position, so that the break is distinct and clearly visible
from the ground level.

The equipment offered by the tenderer shall be designed for a normal current rating of 600 A
for 11 KV & 600 A for 33 KV suitable for continuous service at the system voltage specified
herein. The isolators are not required to operate under load but they must be called upon to
handle magnetization currents of the power transformers and capacitive currents of bushings,
bus-bars connections, very short lengths of cables and current of voltage transformers.

The rated insulation strength of the equipment shall not be lower than the levels specified in
IS 9921 JEC publication No. 129, which are reproduced below

33 KV 36 195 170 100 75

The 11 KV and 33 KV isolators are required with post insulators but without mounting
structures. The isolators should be suitable for mounting on the MPPKVVCL Indores standard
structures. The isolators shall be supplied with base channels along with fixing nuts, bolts and
washers for mounting on the structured.

40.5 TEMPRATURE RISE

The maximum temperature attained by any part of the equipment when in service at site
under continues full load conditions and exposed to the direct rays of Sun shall not exceed 45
degree centigrade above ambient temperature.
