silicon steel and shall be precisely stacked to eliminate gaps in the corner
joints. The coil shall be insulated with B- stage, epoxy coated, diamond pattern,
insulating paper, which shall be thermally cured under pressure to ensure
proper bonding of conductor and paper.

requirements of National Electrical Code® Section 450 -23 and the
requirements of the National Electrical Safety Code (IEEE C2- 2007), Section
15. The dielectric coolant shall be readily and completely biodegradable per
EPA OPPTS 835.3100. The base fluid shall be 100% derived from edible seed
oils with performance enhancing additives. The fluid shall result in zero
mortality when tested on trout fry per OECD G.L. 203 and be non
bioaccumulating. The fluid shall be published under US EPA Environmental
Technology Verification (ETV) requirements, and tested for compatibility with

barrier, shall be located side -by -side on one side of the transformer tank.
When viewed from the front, the low voltage compartment shall be on the
right. Each compartment shall have a door that is constructed so as to
provide access to the high voltage compartment only after the door to the
low- voltage compartment has been opened. There shall be one or more
additional fastening devices that must be removed before the high voltage
door can be opened. The low- voltage compartment door shall be a flat
panel design, side hinged, and the compartment door shall have three
point latching with a handle provided for a locking device. Hinge pins and
associated barrels shall be constructed of corrosion- resistant material,
passivated AISI Type 304 or the equivalent. The front sill of the
compartment shall be removable to allow the transformer to be rolled or
skidded into position over conduit studs.
6.3.2. A recessed, captive, penta -head bolt that meets the dimensions per ANSI
C57.12.28 shall secure all access doors.
6.3.3. The enclosure integrity of the tank and cabinet shall meet the
requirements for tamper resistance set forth in ANSI C57.12.28 including
but not limited to the pry test, pull test, and wire probe test. Top shall be
domed or sloped for moisture runoff.
6.3.4. The compartment depth shall be 20 inches.
6.3.5. The tank base must be designed to allow skidding or rolling in any
direction. Lifting provisions shall consist of four lifting lugs welded to the
tank.
6.3.6. The tank shall be constructed to withstand 7 psi without permanent
deformation, and 15 psi without rupture. The tank shall include a 15 psig
pressure relief valve with a minimum flow rate of 35 SCFM. There shall

Transformers will be evaluated based on standard Power Industry methodology for
electrical efficiency evaluated over a 20 year period. Each bidder is required to submit
with their bid the guaranteed loss values for no load and full load in watts. Differences
in the amount of energy usage expected from each transformer will be used in
determining the best value to the City of Port Angeles.
