Kraig Bader Tim Sagen 9 / 11 / 2001 REVISION LL  Change fusing from oil-immersed current sensing weak link cartridge to a current sensing bay-o-net fuse link in series with an ELSP current limiting backup fuse (clause 3.2.2.10).  Change column header for impedance table in 3.2.2.1 to clarify that impedance numbers are nominal values. (Tolerances are consistent with ANSI C.57.12.00- 2000)  Changed wording from “Mr. Ouch” in 3.2.2.15 to “warning label” Kraig Bader 4/2/2004 Revision MM  Change clause 3.2.2.10 to specify current sensing bay-o-net fuse link by size and part number. Table 2 was added for this purpose.  Renamed table in 3.3.2.1 to from Table 2 to Table 3  Renamed table in 4.3. from Table 2A to Table 4 REV. SYM: PP 4 368-300  Added reference to IEEE C57.12.28 – Enclosure Integrity and requirement for an additional enclosure security design test (See section 3.1.3.2).  Added IEEE C57.12.37 – Electronic Reporting of Distribution Transformer Test Data as a reference standard. Amended section 5.1.2 to include details for the application of IEEE C57.12.37.  Changed requirement for operation of compartment doors so that access to the low- voltage compartment is allowed only after the door to the high-voltage compartment has been opened in order to reduce hazards associated with arc flash.  Added section on DOE Energy Efficiency Requirements.  Changed Table 1 to include Impedance Tolerances; deleted bushing arrangement from Table and inserted description and reference in Section 3.2.2.5.3.  Amended section 3.2.2.7.6 to specify a pressure relief device that includes detection and indication of internal transformer faults. The approved device is manufactured by IFD Corporation.  Changed Table 3 to include Impedance Tolerances; deleted bushing arrangement from Table and inserted description and reference in Section 3.3.2.2.  Moved and updated section on Losses (now Section 4) to include new required information to be submitted by manufacturers during the bid process. Additional information to be supplied includes expected winding’s stray losses and losses associated with auxiliary devices such as fuses, breakers, switches, etc. Also updated Special Conditions and Supplemental Instructions to Bidders with new required losses information.  Added Central Moloney to the Conditionally Approved Manufacturers list.  Deleted Individual Transformer Loss Evaluation Form. Typically, orders include more than one unit and the average form is used. Fort Collins Utilities has always and continues to reserve the right to calculate losses and assess penalties individually, if favorable to Fort Collins Utilities.  Added Special Conditions and Supplemental Instructions to Bidders to the end of this specification. Previously, this had been submitted to Bidders separately. This merge helps to maintain consistency among transformer specifications. Revision PP  Removed requirement for operation of compartment doors so that access to the low-voltage compartment is allowed only after the door to the high-voltage compartment has been opened in order to reduce hazards associated with arc flash. Changed back to previous language to have low-voltage door opened first. New version of C57.12.34, due to NESC requirements, will alleviate arc flash concerns.  Added requirement for silicon steel cores. Fort Collins is not currently specifying amorphous core technology at this time, but may entertain amorphous core proposals when the “No load losses” and “Load Losses” per watt are updated to reflect the current electric system in Fort Collins.  Added 3.2.2.5.4 to include low-voltage terminal supports on all low-voltage terminals in order to support cantilever weights that extend out farther than spade connectors specified in IEEE C57.12.34, Figure 15A.  Updated Figure 1 to clarify the minimum dimensions inside compartment.  Updated Figure 6 to reflect dimensions of transformer pads that are currently being specified and purchased.  Deleted CT mounting provisions from and added the IFD/PRV to Table 1A – Accessory Equipment.  Deleted reference to Figure 8 of IEEE C57.12.34-2009 for radial feed transformers. This reference is out of alignment with our requirement for low voltage bushing arrangements for loop feed (reference is to Figure 5 of this specification). There is no reason they should not be the same as we are utilizing the same set-screw connectors that bolt onto our spade terminals.  Added requirement for tested stray loss value in the “Reserved Space” field to electronic test data section 5.1.2.  Updated Transformer Pad figures in Appendix A with our current pad specifications.

SYM: PP 17 368-300 3.3 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS FOR DESIGN OF RADIAL -FEED Units 3.3.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The transformer shall be a three phase, pad mounted, radial feed safe break, “deadfront” type for use on a 13.2 kV grounded “Y” distribution system. 3.3.2 DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION The requirements for radial-feed transformers shall be the same as those of loop-feed with the following exceptions: 3.3.2.1 RATINGS Table 3 - Radial-Feed Transformer Ratings Stock No. kVA Low Voltage Nominal Impedance Impedance Tolerance1 Minimum Maximum 368-300- 006 75 208Y/120 1.9% 1.71% 2.09% 368-300- 007 75 480Y/277 1.9% 1.71% 2.09% 1. Tolerances for impedance voltage shall be consistent with requirements in section 9.2 of IEEE C57.12.00-2010. 3.3.2.2 BUSHING WELLS AND TERMINALS The number, location, and arrangement of bushing wells, terminals and parking stands shall be as shown in Figures 12 and 13A of IEEE C57.12.34-2009. EXCEPTION: high voltage bushings shall be 32 - 36 inches above the base of the transformer. 4. LOSSES The total losses of a transformer shall be the sum of the excitation losses and the load losses (I2R 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 I2R losses at the specified rates. If tested losses exceed quoted losses but are within the tolerances of paragraph 9.3, IEEE C57.12.00-2010, 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 $ = [No. 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, IEEE C57.12.00-2010, 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. Quoted losses submitted by manufacturers shall include the following:  Core material type  No load losses  Full load losses – it shall be clearly stated whether this number includes the winding’s expected stray losses and losses associated with auxiliary devices  Winding’s expected stray losses related to quoted transformer design  Losses associated with auxiliary devices such as fuses, breakers, switches, etc. All quoted loss values shall be corrected to a reference temperature of 85˚C. Quotations submitted during the bid process without the required losses information shall be deemed unresponsive and are subject to rejection by the City of Fort Collins. REV. SYM: PP 18 368-300 5.
