About this file

This document is a detailed technical specification (Attachment A, Addendum Two) for medium-voltage transformers issued by the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) for a procurement package in Lincoln, NE. The specification describes the procurement of two (2) pad-mounted, liquid-filled transformers with specific technical requirements, including a 3000kVA capacity, 12,470Y/7,200 primary voltage, and 480/277V secondary voltage. The transformers must comply with multiple IEEE, ANSI, and NFPA standards, and can be sourced from manufacturers such as ABB Control, Cooper Industries, Pioneer Transformers, Siemens Energy & Automation, Square D, and Virginia Transformer Corp.

The technical specification provides extensive detailed requirements for transformer construction, including insulating liquid specifications, tank and cabinet enclosure design, surge arrester configurations, and specific performance parameters. Manufacturers must meet stringent technical standards, including a tank design that can withstand 7 psi without permanent deformation and 15 psi without rupture, a pressure relief valve with a minimum 35 SCFM flow rate, and exterior painting in specified colors. The procurement includes comprehensive installation, testing, and follow-up service requirements, with post-installation voltage monitoring and potential corrective actions to ensure proper transformer performance and integration into the electrical system.
