mounting arrangement of different equipment on the control and relay
panels shall be as per standard practices in similar EHV substations.
The schematic/ wiring diagrams shall be in line with standard wiring
diagrams. These drawings shall be furnished by the successful
Tenderers along with the offer.

iv) All wiring shall be carried out with 660 V grade single core multi-strand
flexible copper conductor wires with PVC insulation. Colour coded
wires shall be used for CT/PT circuits. Wiring troughs shall be used for
routing the cables. Ferrule numbers shall be provided at both ends of
cable and the ferrule numbering shall correspond to the numbering in
the approved schematic drawings.

v) Terminal blocks shall be 660V grade, 10 Amps rated, one-piece

mounted type, complete with insulated barriers, stud type brass
terminals, washers, brass nuts and identification strips. Markings on
the terminal strip shall conform to the terminal numberings on the
approved wiring diagram. Terminals meant for CT and PT supplies
shall be provided with disconnecting type terminals, and having
shorting facility for CT circuits. The terminals meant for bus-wiring
shall be provided at the top.

vi) The overall dimensions of the control and relay panel shall be suitably
and appropriately designed by the Tenderer. The relay panels shall be
modular rack-mounting type in accordance with relevant standards.
The protective relays shall be drawout / plug in type as far as possible.
Non-draw out type relays and ancillary components like switches,
lamps etc. wherever required in protection circuits shall be installed on
plates suitable for mounting in racks.

vii) All front mounted as well as internally mounted equipment shall be

provided with individual labels having equipment designation engraved
on. Metal photo-printed anodized aluminum plates or PVC strips duly
engraved (white lettering in black background) shall be used for labels.

viii) All control switches and instrument switches shall be rotary type, with
escutcheon plates clearly marked to show the operating positions.

ix) Semaphore indicators with mimic diagram shall be provided for actual
status indication (ON/OFF) of isolators and circuit breakers.

x) Mimic diagrams depicting the bus-bar arrangement shall be provided

on the control panel. These shall be painted (overlaid) type or screw-
on type aluminum strips. The mimic shade shall be as follows:

a) 220 kV - Dark brown to shade no. 412 as per IS:5

b) 33 kV - Brilliant green to shade no. 221 as per IS:5

c) Earth - Black

xi) Static annunciators suitable for visual and audible alarm annunciation
shall be provided on the control panel. Annunciator fascia units shall
have translucent plastic windows for each alarm point. Annunciator
shall be provided with Accept/Reset/Lamp test push buttons. One bell
for trip alarm and one buzzer for non-trip alarm shall be provided for
each annunciation scheme. Visual alarm shall continue to glow till the
abnormality is cleared. Provision for testing of healthiness of visual &
audio alarm shall be provided.

xii) It shall be ensured that spurious/nuisance alarm does not occur due to
influence of external magnetic field or switching disturbances from
neighboring circuits within the panel.

xiii) Auxiliary supply available for the C&R panels will be as follows:

a) Main DC -110 V with variation (-15%) to (+10%) :

for control, indication, relays, trip etc.

Equipment Specifications NIT of 220/33kV Substation at Gevra OCP

b) AC supply -240V, single phase & 415V, 3 phase 50 Hz, with

voltage variation (-5%) to (+5%) and frequency variation (+/- )3% :
for cubicle lighting, space heaters, power plug etc.

xiv) All the indicating instruments shall be of suitable. size. All 220
kV and 33 kV meters shall be digital microprocessor based power
meters for various data display with memory for storing data. Meters
shall be provided with TTB (Testing Terminal Board). The meters shall
have long life and reliability. For this supporting literatures and test
certificates shall be provided with the offer.

2.4.8.2 Special Requirements

i) Contact multiplication relays if required for multiplication of auxiliary

contacts of breaker and isolator, a single latch relay (electrically
operated type) having N/O and N/C contacts as per the scheme
requirement may be provided for breaker/isolator. These relays shall
