About this file
This is an amendment to transformer design specifications for a federal contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for manufacturing spare power transformers at the Lower Snake River hydroelectric facilities. The amendment revises technical requirements for two classes of single-phase generator step-up transformers: Class II GSU Power Transformer (T2) with specifications for two units rated at 82,000/109,334 kVA, 500 kV high-voltage, 13.2 kV low-voltage, and Class II GSU Power Transformer (T1) with specifications for three units rated at 164,000/218,666 kVA with the same voltage ratings. Both transformer classes must meet ONAN/ONAF cooling capabilities and include extensive safety, operational, and testing requirements aligned with IEEE standards.
The specifications detail comprehensive manufacturing requirements including tank fabrication, winding design with fiber-optic temperature probes, cooling systems with radiators and fans, multiple valve configurations, bushings (high-voltage, low-voltage, and core ground), control and power cabinets fabricated from stainless steel, and both inert-gas pressure and conservator tank oil preservation system options. Factory acceptance testing is mandatory and must include dissolved gas-in-oil analysis, temperature rise tests, impulse tests, partial discharge measurements, audible sound level testing, leak tests, leakage reactance measurements, and sweep frequency response analysis at multiple manufacturing stages. Deliverables include transformer design data review reports, detailed shop drawings, welding quality control documentation, bushing test reports, and complete factory acceptance test reports with digital waveforms and thermal imaging. The contract specifies a five-year manufacturer warranty covering transformer gassing, oil leaks, paint failures, bushing integrity, and cabinet heater functionality. All transformers must be suitable for shipment by sea, rail, and heavy truck transport to Little Goose Lock & Dam storage yard, with additional assembly and field testing required per Section 48 20 00.04 26.
