declared loss value, they have to strictly achieve the same loss value during the course of
testing of transformers, offered for supply. No tolerance as per IS/IEC will be applicable.
f) If they fail to do so, the offered transformer will be rejected and only replaced
transformer with declared loss value will be accepted.
g) In this process, the delay so occurred will be on the vendor's account.
h) If the vendor fails to achieve the declared loss during second time, the contract will be
terminated at the vendor's risk and cost.

guaranteed values as depicted in the following tables:
SL Item Tolerance
1 Voltage ratio at no load on principal The lower of the following values:

tapping for a specified first pair of a) ±0.5 % of declared ratio
windings b) ±1/10 of the actual percentage impedance
on the principal tapping
2 Voltage ratio on other tapings, same pair To be agreed, but not less than the lesser of
the values in a) and b) above
3 Voltage ratio for further pairs To be agreed, but not less than the lesser of
the values in a) and b) above
4 Short-circuit impedance for:

– a separate-winding transformer with two
windings, or
– a specified first pair of separate
windings in a multi-winding transformer When the impedance value is ≥10 % : ±7,5 %
of the declared value
a) principal tapping When the impedance value is <10 % : ±10 %
When the impedance value is ≥10 % : ±10 %

b) any other tapping of the pair of the declared value
When the impedance value is <10 %: ±15 %
5 Short-circuit impedance for:

– an auto-connected pair of winding, or
– a specified second pair of separate
windings in a multi-winding transformer
a) principal tapping ±10 % of the declared value
b) any other tapping of the pair ±15 % of the declared value for that tapping
c) further pairs of windings To be agreed, but ≥15 %
6 No-load current +30 % of the declared value

NOTE - For certain auto-transformers and booster transformers the smallness of their
impedance justifies more liberal tolerance. Transformers having large tapping ranges,
particularly if the range is asymmetrical, may also require special consideration. On the
other hand, for example, when a transformer is to be combined with previously existing units,
it may be justified to specify and agree on narrower impedance tolerances. Matters of special
tolerances shall be brought to attention at the tender stage, and revised tolerances agreed
upon between manufacturer and purchaser.
NOTE - 'Declared value' should be understood as meaning the value declared by the
manufacturer.
46 DRYING OUT AT THE MANUFACTURER’S WORKS:
All the Tests shall be conducted after complete Drying out at the works. The transformer shall
be despatched complete after being dried out under vacuum and filed with inert gas, ready to
be put into commission, without further drying out at site.
47 SUPERVISION OF ERECTION, TESTING & COMMISSIONING:
The MANUFACTURER shall arrange for the services of their Supervisor/Engineer from the
manufacturer during erection, testing and commissioning of the equipment at sites at free
of cost as many time as required by WBSETCL.
