56-SDMS-01, Rev. 01 DATE: 6-04-2004G

This SEC Distribution Material Specification (SDMS) specifies the minimum technical requirements of design, engineering, manufacturing, inspection; testing and performance of outdoor unit substation intended to be used in 13.8 kV system of the Saudi Electricity Company (SEC), Saudi Arabia. A unit substation combines power transformer and LV distribution panel in a single transportable unit ready for operation on being fixed in position on prepared plinth and connected to the power system. The MV switchgear is not an integral part of the unit substation. 2.0 CROSS REFERENCES This SEC material standard specification shall always be read in conjunction with SEC specification No. 01-SDMS-01, titled General Requirements for All Equipment/Materials, which shall be considered as an integral part of this SDMS. These standard specifications shall be also read in conjunction with SEC Purchase Order (PO) requirements. 3.0 APPLICABLE CODES AND STANDARDS The latest revisions of the codes and standards listed in the SEC specifications as given below shall be applicable for the equipment / material covered in this SDMS. In case of conflict, the vendor / manufacturer may propose equipment / material conforming to one group of industry codes and standards quoted hereunder without jeopardizing the requirements of this SDMS. 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 3.6 51-SDMS-01 31-SDMS-01 37-SDMS-01 11-SDMS-03 IEC- 61330 IEC- 60529 Distribution Transformer Up to 33kV Low Voltage Distribution Panel Low Voltage Molded Case Circuit Breakers 15 kV XLPE Insulated Power Cables High-voltage / low-voltage prefabricated substation Classification of degree of protection provided by enclosures
