DE-SOL-0010889

Question 6: In Standard 9 paragraph 9.1.2 Acceptance Tests – Method B, there is no mention of any testing needed for shunt reactors, motor operated switches, surge arresters, substation bus/insulators, or substation grounding. These seem to be major apparatus in need of testing, please provide desired field tests for this equipment.

Answer 6:

a. Shunt reactor tests are similar to the transformer tests described in Standard 9 paragraph 9.1.2 Acceptance Tests – Method B and shall be bid accordingly.

b. The contractor shall adjust motor operated switches per the manufacturer's instructions. Prior to piercing the operating linkage, operation of the switches will be witnessed by Western. Upon Western's acceptance, the operating linkage shall be pierced.

c. Surge arrestors will be tested by Western.

d. There is no requirement to test substation bus, insulators, or grounding.

Question 7: If Shunt reactors are to be tested please provide information on the accessories contained in the shunt reactors, such as the temperature/pressure sensing systems, other protective devices, alarms, fans, pumps, controls, etc, if these accessories must also be tested. A full set of shop drawings for each shunt reactor would be very helpful.

Answer 7: Shop drawings and particulars of accessories are not available at this time.

B. Date and time for bid opening remains unchanged, bid opening is April 19, 2017 at 2:00 PM local time.
