3.2.1 230 V A.C. Lighting for Level Gauges and various local panel as well
complete lighting of central cabinet room, central control room and central
engineering room shall be included in the “E / I&CS power supply

interfaces list” with a reference to the level gauge tag number for which
the lighting fixture is required. This shall be by BIDDER Electrical.
3.2.2 For level gauge, supporting bracket (part of level gauge assembly) and
fixture specification is the responsibility of BIDDER Electrical.
3.2.3 Engineering, design and supply by BIDDER Electrical
3.2.4 Distribution boards, if applicable, shall be located on the outside of the
analyzer house and shall be suitable for hazardous area classification of
the plant. However for each analyser, the individual 110 V AC UPS
supply cables (in required sizes) will be laid from central cabinet room
located non-system UPS PDB by BIDDER I&C. Instead of laying 3 core
power cable from central control room located non-system UPS PDB to
each analyser, there shall be 2 core cable for each analyser. The final
safety earth cable in redundant loop format from each analyser shall be
brought to a common safety earth pit located near control room for
instrumentation safety earth purpose. These earthing cables from each
analyser houses, local panels, etc. to control room safety earth pits shall
be redundant.
3.2.5 No UPS supply shall be provided to analyzer house, local panel for any of
the instruments by BIDDER Electrical, directly from MCC. These shall be
laid from the various UPS non-system PDB panels, located at central
cabinet room by BIDDER I &C, as per requirement.
3.2.6 For Electric motor operated valves, position switches shall be connected
to DCS via Electrical / Instrument interface panel (IRC) via interposing
relays only. Hence from MOV all the signals including torque switches,
limit switches, etc. shall be wired to MCC and from MCC, the required on-
off indication limit switches signals shall be wired to instrumentation
system for indication/control/logic purpose to I&C. Hence it is the
responsibility of BIDDER Electrical including supply of cables, glands,
terminations, etc. from field MOV to MCC and MCC to
electrical/instrument interface cabinets.
3.2.7 Power supply to these MOV’s is also the responsibility of BIDDER
Electrical.
3.3.1 This shall be provided by BIDDER I &C from the central cabinet room
located non-system UPS PDB panel located at only one location to each
of the package units in the field. Further sub distribution shall be carried
out inside the package unit by package unit vendor.
3.3.2 230 V A.C. power supply required for non-instrument purpose shall be
provided by BIDDER Electrical to all package units, directly from MCC in
panel shed lighting, shelter illumination, etc. However, local instrument
panel inside illumination shall be by BIDDER I&C, which will be wired
form central cabinet room located 230 V AC utility PDBs by BIDDER I&C.

tracing, etc. For analyser sample tube heat tracing, etc., it is BIDDER I&C
responsibility to provide 110 V AC UPS supply for sample heat tracing
line from centrally located non-system UPS PDB.
3.4.2 Various Lube oil heater circuits, in general, shall be controlled by DCS by
BIDDER I&C. For the purpose, there shall be separate and dedicated
Lube oil level and temperature transmitters installed on the LO tank.
3.4.3 LO heater shall automatically start and stop from DCS interlock/Logic on
Low LO temperature and High LO temperature/ Low LO level,
respectively, via two separate DCS DO for auto start and process trip, via
interposing relays in IRC driven by DCS Logic.
3.4.4 Additionally, there shall be manual start and stop facilities from DCS
graphic as a soft target. This soft target will actuate a DCS DO, which will
be wired via IRC panel located interposing relays to MCC for start and
stop of LO heater manually.
4.1 The E&I interface point for process and safeguarding systems
measurement, monitoring, control and protection I/O’s is the IRC and/or
the IFC which shall be located in the central cabinet / marshalling room
within I&C premises.
4.2 The IFC will be used for analogue signals (e.g. VSDS). From this panel,
all 4-20 ma signals shall be wired to relevant I&C DCS marshalling
panels.
4.3 Since there shall not be any RTD or T/C type input cards in DCS/DCS ,
all Motor bearing/winding related trips shall be realized by BIDDER
Electrical via their MCC SCADA. Only the redundant software
communication link from MCC SCADA to DCS shall be made available to
I&C for making all such RTD and T/C real time indications/alarms
available to DCS operator on graphics. Hence there shall not be any
motor bearing/winding trip related hard wired signal exchange between
DCS and DCS and DCS to MCC.
4.4 Engineering, procurement and laying of cables and all termination from
MCC/Field Motors to MCC SCADA, logic realization in SCADA with
sequence of event reports, etc. shall be carried out by BIDDER Electrical
for all these signals.
4.5 All potential free/dry contacts for pump / motor running indications, MOV
open/close limit switches, etc. from MCC/SWB or VSD panels from
electrical shall be wired to IRC via interposing relays and by BIDDER
Electrical, including design, procurement and installation/laying of various
cables between MCC/SWB/VSD panels to IRC. IRC panel shall be of two
types, i.e. DI IRC, which will accept all input signals to DCS wired from
MCC via interposing relays and the DO IRC which will provide various pot
free digital output contact from DCS to MCC via interposing relays. The
relays in IRC for interposing purpose shall be by BIDDER I&C. All RUN
signals shall be hard wired between MCC and DCS. The redundant
software communication link between SCADA and DCS shall be used to
monitor various other signals like motor trouble, motor fault, ready-to-start
signals which are not used in control or interlock/logic by I&C in DCS. If

signals required for electrical control to the interface point as detailed for
each project.
4.14 BIDDER I&CS shall include the tag number on the interface document.
4.15 Instrument Loop Diagram shall show the complete loop inclusive a
reference drawing number with respect to the electrical wiring up to the
point of interface, i.e. IRC/IFC.
4.16 For all pumps/motors, emergency stop command, BIDDER I&C shall use
a Mushroom Push Button with key lock, installed on Operator console.
This buttons shall operate a 24 V DC interposing relay located in IRC.
The potential free contact from these relays shall be wired to relevant
MCC/SWB/Motors at Electrical Substation by BIDDER Electrical for
stopping those motors. The other spare contact of such relay from IRC
shall be wired by BIDDER I&C as a feed back to DCS as digital inputs to
their system for registration of pressing of push buttons with alarms on
DCS and DCS graphics.
4.17 This emergency push buttons shall be in addition to any Trip/Auto stop
contact generated from DCS interlock from I&C System. In this case the
two contacts (Em. Stop and process trip) shall be wired to
MCC/SWB/Motors by BIDDER Electrical in their protection circuitry in
series.
4.18 In genral, remote start from Operator Console from Central Control room
is not envisaged for any Motor/Equipments. These shall not be provided,
unless process group requires such facilities for a few of very critical
equipments, which will be decided during detail engineering.

BIDDER Electrical and BIDDER Process Group, based on various
process requirement, facilities and interlock/control necessity. A
consolidated format is attached herewith as Annexure-1.
10.1 To the extent possible, the MOV shall not be used in the plant. However,
if the requirement can not be avoided, it shall be the responsibility of
BIDDER Electrical for all type of procurement, erection, commissioning,
power supply provision, laying of necessary cables from Substation and
final operation, testing and maintenance of the same shall be carried out
by BIDDER Electrical. The body/bonnet and trim MOC and other
specifications/ construction of MOV shall be as per mechanical
