About this file
This is a technical specifications document for a Request for Proposal issued by the Jacksonville Electric Authority (JEA) for Unit Auxiliary Transformers (UATs) at the St. Johns River Power Park (SJRPP) Unit 3 Combined Cycle facility in Florida. The solicitation requires vendors to supply four transformers: two 20/26.7/33.3 MVA rated transformers for Unit 3 (one each for the Combustion Turbine Generator and Steam Turbine Generator) and two identically rated transformers for Unit 4, along with associated oil, delivery, installation materials, engineering services, and factory acceptance testing. The transformers are specified as outdoor, oil-immersed, step-down power transformers with de-energized tap changers, designed for 60 Hz operation at 65°C temperature rise with ONAN/ONAF/ONAF cooling capability. The optional pre-response meeting is scheduled for May 26, 2026, at 3:00 PM, with response due dates of June 23, 2026, and July 14, 2026. The Effective Date for the contract is defined as the EPC LNTP (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Lump-Sum No Time-Penalty) Date of February 2027, unless mutually agreed otherwise in writing.
The specification document details extensive technical requirements including transformer ratings, impedance specifications, accessory requirements, testing protocols, and material standards. Vendors must comply with IEEE C57 series standards, provide materials from approved manufacturers (including core steel from AK Steel TRANCOR, JFE, or POSCO; insulation from Weidmann; copper from Sam Dong, MW, ESSEX, or REA; and bushings from Hitachi, ABB, or PCORE), and submit numerous technical submittals on defined schedules with specified calendar day deadlines. The transformers must be designed to withstand seismic loads per project-specific data, through-fault conditions with 1.25 times rated voltage for 2 seconds for combustion turbine applications, and generator load rejection conditions. Additional scope includes shop drawings, instruction manuals, 3D equipment models in Tekla Structures format, field erection services, and technical advisor services. All design documents and certifications must comply with Florida state engineering requirements and be sealed by a Florida-licensed professional engineer. No pricing information, set-asides, incumbents, or funding source details are specified in this technical specifications document.

129 Technical Attachments
130 Technical attachments relevant to the work under this section are listed in Section 01100.
131 Supplemental Specifications
132 Technical supplemental specifications that are applicable to the work covered under this technical specification section are identified and included in Section 21000.
Products
133 General
134 This specification is intended for procurement of outdoor oil-immersed power transformers.
The Supplier shall provide a standard design for items within the scope of this specification, but which are not covered in detail by these specifications.
135 The standard design shall be in accordance with accepted industry practices for electrical power generation.
136 Transformer shall be suitable for both step-up and step-down operation and the source of power to be assumed from HV, LV or tertiary windings (if existed).
137 Loading and Rating
138 The current carrying capability shall be limited only by the capacity of the core and coils and not by other components such as winding leads, bushings, and tap changers.
139 The vendor shall verify, by computer simulations, that above temperatures are not exceeded at any time during this overload condition. Calculations shall be provided to verify that neither top oil nor the hot spot conductor temperatures specified above are exceeded during the overload condition described.
140 Generation Step-Up Application
141 The transformer should be designed for application of generating step-up and follow relevant standard (IEEE C57.116 ).
Source: 16151, 2023, 1.8 Power Transformers Page 13 of 81
142 Generator step-up and unit auxiliary transformers will be directly connected to the generator in such a way that they may be subjected to load rejection conditions that result in an abnormally high voltage from the generator.
143 Therefore, these transformers shall be designed to withstand, as a minimum, the resulting stresses with 1.4 times the rated voltage for 5 seconds, applied at the transformer terminals to which the generator is to be connected.
144 Through-Fault Withstand
145 Transformers furnished under these specifications shall be capable of withstanding, without damage, the mechanical and thermal stresses caused by short-circuit currents limited only by the impedance of the transformer.
146 System impedance shall be considered equal to zero.
147 System pre-fault voltage shall be equal to the voltage rating of the maximum tap or 1.05 times the principal tap, whichever is greater.
148 Generator step-up and unit auxiliary transformers shall also be designed to withstand the resulting forces caused by a surge in terminal voltage and fault current contribution from the generator while coasting to a standstill.
149 Unless additional information is specified about the time/current/voltage characteristics of the generator under fault conditions, the following criteria shall be considered the minimum acceptable to account for these factors:
150 Type of Generator
Type of Transformer
Voltage Overshoot (times rated voltage)
Time Duration of Fault (seconds)
151 Combustion turbine
Unit auxiliary 1.25 2
