1. SCOPE OF ENQUIRY
This specification covers the design, manufacture, assembly, testing and inspection at vendor’s/subvendor’s
works, packing and despatch to site of neutral grounding resistor as described in the various sections of this
specification.

Although erection and commissioningwill be not included in vendor’s scope, the vendor shall still not be
absolved of his responsibility of establishing the correctness of equipment at site.

2. CODES & STANDARDS

The material, constructional features and various processes involved in manufacture shall comply with latest
revision of Indonesian Standards.
The design, material, construction, manufacture, inspection, testing and performance of Neutral Grounding
Resistor shall conform to the latest revision of relevant standards and codes of practices mentioned in IEEE-
32.

In case of conflict between the applicable reference standard and this specification, this specification shall
govern.

3. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS AND CONSTRUCTIONAL FEATURES

The NGR will be used for medium resistance grounding of MV (20 / 11 KV) system. NGR will be
connected between earth pit and neutral point of applicable transformer as the additional work.
The NGR will be suitable for limiting the desired value of earth fault current and duty as specified in Book
III part 4 Technical Requirement Section 4.6 Electrical Works Sub section 4.6.5-Neutral Grounding
Resistor.

The resistor unit will be natural air-cooled type suitable for installation at outdoor locations.
The NGR will be installed in hot humid and tropical atmosphere. All equipment, accessories and wiring will
be provided with tropical finish to prevent fungus growth.

4. TERMINAL POINTS OF SUPPLY:

a) Neutral grounding resistor along with suitable cable glands and lugs for incoming cables from
transformer neutral.

b) Supporting structure along with insulators and necessary foundation hardware.

c) Bushing along with tinned copper strip of suitable cross-section and connecting hardware for neutral
connection of transformer. Copper strip will be applicable only when cable connection is not applicable
and vice-versa.

d) All Civil works, Erection & commissioning of equipment are excluded from bidder’s scope.

e) Termination and Jointing kits are excluded from bidder’s cope.

5. SPECIFIC TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

5.1 Neutral Grounding Resistor.
a) Each Neutral Grounding Resistor will be formed of non-aging (grade ASTM-A240/AISI-304 or better)
corrosion resistant punched stainless steel elements. Resistance material mentioned above shall have
high electrical resistivity and low temperature co-efficient of resistance.

b) Resistor bank will be provided in series and parallel combination to achieve the overall resistance value.
Minimum two banks in parallel will be provided in the system, unless specified otherwise.

c) The resistor unit shall consist of suitable number. of elements. All the elements will be mounted inside
the cubicle so as to ensure ease of inspection and replacement of individual element.

d) Each resistor element shall possess a balanced combination of both Mechanical and Electrical
properties over entire intended operating temperature range without any harmful effect on the elements
and their accessories.
e) All the resistor elements consisting the NGR will be assembled and supported inside the cubicle in such
a way that no distortion or breakage will occur during the passage of specified fault current to earth.
f) All elements connection will be bolted type to ensure stable resistance value throughout the working
life of the unit.
g) Wet process type brown glass porcelain insulators will be used for supporting resistor elements and
used to insulate the resistor element from enclosure. Porcelain insulators shall have high creepage value
suitable for heavily polluted atmosphere charged with dust particles.

h) The resistor elements will be provided with necessary installations and shall have maximum
temperature rise.

i) The NGR will be provided with suitable taps for cable/strip connection.
j) In case the connection between neutral terminal of transformer and NGR will be through a copper strip,
then copper stripwill be supplied by bidder. The required hardware for the termination of copper flat at
both ends will be supplied by the bidder.

6. ENCLOSURE
a) Each neutral grounding resistor will be housed in weather-proof enclosure having Degree of Protection IP
52 suitable for outdoor area as specified in Book III Part technical requirement subsection 4.6.5.2.

Enclosurewill be fabricated made of carbon steel with powder coating and having a minimum thickness of
2 mm..
b) The terminals for neutral and earthing connections will be housed in separate vermin-proof, weather-proof
terminal box with min. IP-55 degree of ingress protection.
c) A separate canopywill be provided above enclosure roof with a suitable air gap between them. It shall also
cover the terminal compartment. Suitable lifting arrangement will be provided to lift the canopy.
d) The bottom of the enclosure will be provided with a drain plug to remove water that may get collected in
the enclosure.
e) The enclosure will be supported on insulators placed on mounting structure in such a fashion that it is not
easily accessible for man standing on ground level. Any part of insulator will be at a height 2500 mm
above ground/plinth.

f) Each cubicle will be complete with front access door with handles, lock and also a removable bolted cover.
All doors and removable coverswill be properly gasketed with good quality neoprene /synthetic rubber
gaskets.
g) All cubicle door hingeswill be concealed type. The cubiclewill be suitable for cable bottom entry complete
with a mounted cable end box fitted with removable gland plate for fixing cable gland. Double
compression type cable glands and tinned copper lugwill be providedAll necessary galvanised bolts, nuts
washers etc.will be included by the BIDDER for installation of Cubicle at site.
h) The enclosure shall not be earthed to prevent bypassing of resistor in case of any inadvertent shorting of
resistor from inside.

7. INSPECTION & TESTS

a) All tests will be conducted as per relevant IEEE standards and will be performed in the presence of
purchaser's representative, if so desired by the purchaser.

b) Bidder shall furnish Type Test certificates as specified in Book III Part 4 Technical Requirement
Subsection 4.6.5.4 Performance, Testing and Guarantee.

c) For all components / materials, for which type test reports have been asked for in the specification, such
Type tests should have been carried out on identical components / materials. In absence of such type tests
reports or in case such reports are not found to be meeting the specification/standards requirements,.
d) All acceptance and routine tests as per relevant standards will be carried out by the manufacturer. Charges
for all these routine and acceptance tests for all the materials will be deemed to be included in the bid price.
e) Test reports of the various tests conducted at the time of inspectionwill be furnished by the vendor.
