The total losses of a transformer shall be the sum of the excitation losses and the load losses (12R losses). Load
loss tests shall be performed and reported on all units regardless of whether or not a record of such tests is
available on duplicate units. Loss evaluations and loss costs will be based on the values shown in the "Special
Conditions and Supplemental Instructions to Bidders." Transformers will be evaluated on excitation losses and 12R
losses at the specified rates. If tested losses exceed quoted losses but are within the tolerances of paragraph 9.3,
ANSI C57.12.00-2000, the additional cost incurred from the differential of losses will be calculated using the
following equation and the above specified rates and will be deducted from the original Purchase Order or back
charged to the manufacturer. In the following equation "Units" shall mean 'Transformers of the same size and
design on one order."
Excess loss $ = [# of units] [(No Load Loss Evaluation $) (Avg. No Load Losses - Quoted No Load Losses) + (Load
Loss Evaluation $) (Avg. Load Losses - Quoted Load Losses)]. If this equation results in a negative number, no
credit will be given the Supplier.
If any unit or units exceed the tolerances of paragraph 9.3, ANSI C57.12.00-2000, that unit or units shall not be
shipped without express permission from the City. If accepted, the deduction for excess losses will be based on
the following equation:
Excess loss $ = (No Load Loss Evaluation $) (No Load Losses - Quoted No Load Losses) But Not Less Than Zero
+ (Load Loss Evaluation $) (Load Losses - Quoted Losses) But Not Less Than Zero.

• Rewrote specification with reference to IEEE submersible specification C57.12.23.
9/20/2005
• Overcurrent protection changed:
Secondary breaker in conjunction with under -oil full range current limiting primary
fuse.
• Only one thermal design is specified now. Previous revision allowed two thermal
designs, but did not indicate a preference.
Revision C
Kraig Bader
• Corrected stock numbers in Table 1.
11/17/05
• Amended paragraph 7.1 -1 to clarify the alloys specified for the construction of the
transformer.
• Section 7.4: Removed requirement for tank drain (1.00" NPT flush coupling with
brass pipe plug). Tank drain increases the vulnerability of the tank to rust, and
subsequent leaking in a submersible environment.
• Section 7.4: Amended statement regarding lifting eyes — removed requirement for
lifting eyes to be located on "the front and backside of"the transformer.
• Removed statement in paragraph 8 requiring "Bayonet warning decals located near
bayonet fuse." As design progressed, the decision to use secondary breaker in
conjunction with full range CL fuses removes the need for bayonet warning labels.
• Corrected secondary voltage rating in Section 5, Table 1 from 120/240 to 240/120.
(120/240 rated units require 4 LV bushings , and we specify 3 LV bushings.)

9 LOSSES
The total losses of a transformer shall be the sum of the excitation losses and the load losses (12R losses). Load
loss tests shall be performed and reported on all units regardless of whether or not a record of such tests is
available on duplicate units. Loss evaluations and loss costs will be based on the values shown in the "Special
Conditions and Supplemental Instructions to Bidders." Transformers will be evaluated on excitation losses and 12R
losses at the specified rates. If tested losses exceed quoted losses but are within the tolerances of paragraph 9.3,
ANSI C57.12.00-2000, the additional cost incurred from the differential of losses will be calculated using the
following equation and the above specified rates and will be deducted from the original Purchase Order or back
charged to the manufacturer. In the following equation "Units" shall mean "Transformers of the same size and
design on one order."
Excess loss $ = [# of units] [(No Load Loss Evaluation $) (Avg. No Load Losses - Quoted No Load Losses) + (Load
Loss Evaluation $) (Avg. Load Losses - Quoted Load Losses)]. If this equation results in a negative number, no
credit will be given the Supplier.
If any unit or units exceed the tolerances of paragraph 9.3, ANSI C57.12.00-2000, that unit or units shall not be
shipped without express permission from the City. If accepted, the deduction for excess losses will be based on
the following equation:
Excess loss $ = (No Load Loss Evaluation $) (No Load Losses - Quoted No Load Losses) But Not Less Than Zero
+ (Load Loss Evaluation $) (Load Losses - Quoted Losses) But Not Less Than Zero.

• Corrected stock numbers in Table 1.
11/17/05
• Amended paragraph 7.1 -1 to clarify the alloys specified for the construction of the
transformer.
• Section 7.4: Removed requirement for tank drain (1.00" NPT flush coupling with
brass pipe plug). Tank drain increases the vulnerability of the tank to rust, and
subsequent leaking in a submersible environment.
• Section 7.4: Amended statement regarding lifting eyes — removed requirement for
lifting eyes to be located on "the front and backside of"the transformer.
• Removed statement in paragraph 8 requiring "Bayonet warning decals located near
bayonet fuse." As design progressed, the decision to use secondary breaker in
conjunction with full range CL fuses removes the need for bayonet warning labels.
• Corrected secondary voltage rating in Section 5, Table 1 from 120/240 to 240/120.
(120/240 rated units require 4 LV bushings , and we specify 3 LV bushings.)

9 LOSSES
The total losses of a transformer shall be the sum of the excitation losses and the load losses (12R losses). Load
loss tests shall be performed and reported on all units regardless of whether or not a record of such tests is
available on duplicate units. Loss evaluations and loss costs will be based on the values shown in the "Special
Conditions and Supplemental Instructions to Bidders." Transformers will be evaluated on excitation losses and 12R
losses at the specified rates. If tested losses exceed quoted losses but are within the tolerances of paragraph 9.3,
ANSI C57.12.00-2000, the additional cost incurred from the differential of losses will be calculated using the
following equation and the above specified rates and will be deducted from the original Purchase Order or back
charged to the manufacturer. In the following equation "Units" shall mean "Transformers of the same size and
design on one order."
Excess loss $ = [# of units] [(No Load Loss Evaluation $) (Avg. No Load Losses - Quoted No Load Losses) + (Load
Loss Evaluation $) (Avg. Load Losses - Quoted Load Losses)]. If this equation results in a negative number, no
credit will be given the Supplier.
If any unit or units exceed the tolerances of paragraph 9.3, ANSI C57.12.00-2000, that unit or units shall not be
shipped without express permission from the City. If accepted, the deduction for excess losses will be based on
the following equation:
Excess loss $ = (No Load Loss Evaluation $) (No Load Losses - Quoted No Load Losses) But Not Less Than Zero
+ (Load Loss Evaluation $) (Load Losses - Quoted Losses) But Not Less Than Zero.

REVISION DESCRIPTIONS
REVISION DESCRIPTION
APPROVED
REVISION A
Tim Sagen
• Revised tank material in section 6
Bill Bray
12/15/2000
REVISION B
Kraig Bader
• Rewrote specification with reference to IEEE submersible specification C57.12.23.
9/20/2005
• Overcurrent protection changed:
Secondary breaker in conjunction with under -oil full range current limiting primary
fuse.
• Only one thermal design is specified now. Previous revision allowed two thermal
designs, but did not indicate a preference.
Revision C
Kraig Bader
• Corrected stock numbers in Table 1.
11/17/05
• Amended paragraph 7.1 -1 to clarify the alloys specified for the construction of the
transformer.
• Section 7.4: Removed requirement for tank drain (1.00" NPT flush coupling with
brass pipe plug). Tank drain increases the vulnerability of the tank to rust, and
subsequent leaking in a submersible environment.
• Section 7.4: Amended statement regarding lifting eyes — removed requirement for
lifting eyes to be located on "the front and backside of the transformer.
• Removed statement in paragraph 8 requiring "Bayonet warning decals located near
bayonet fuse." As design progressed, the decision to use secondary breaker in
conjunction with full range CL fuses removes the need for bayonet warning labels.
• Corrected secondary voltage rating in Section 5, Table 1 from 120/240 to 240/120.
(120/240 rated units require 4 LV bushings , and we specify 3 LV bushings.)
Revision D
Kraig Bader
• Revised Approved Manufacturer Table to confirm receipt and inspection of
4/10/06
prototype units manufactured in conformance with this specification.
