Introduction
This document details the whole of life performance requirements for the purchase and
maintenance of 2 and 3 phase pole mounted distribution transformers for use in the
RailCorp electrical network. It covers primary voltages of 11 kV and 33 kV and secondary
voltages of 125 V, 250 V and 433 V. The standard RailCorp pole mounted substation
designs allow for a weight limit of 2240 kg. The standard design is based on oil-immersed
transformers..
This document does not cover transformers used on the 2 kV network as it is in the
process of being phased out. Any replacement transformers should be sourced from
decommissioned stock.
Additional 33kV pole mounted transformers are not permitted in the RailCorp network and
this document can only be used for the replacement of existing 33kV pole mounted
transformers.
The requirements of this document apply to all new pole mounted distribution
transformers.

Unearthed Secondary
Transformers used solely for supplying unearthed installations, such as signalling
locations, shall be provided with a copper or aluminium metal screen located between the
primary and secondary windings. The screen shall be at least 0.5 mm in thickness and is
to be connected to a special insulated terminal. The metal screen shall be arranged to
prevent leakage from any part of the primary windings to any part of the secondary
windings of the transformers.
The manufacturer must be made aware that the secondary side of the transformer is not
earthed under normal service conditions so that over voltages due to the capacitances
between windings and between windings and earth can be allowed for in the transformer
design.
6.6
Lifting Attachments
Suitable lifting lugs shall be provided for lifting the transformer.
6.7
Hangers
If a transformer is a replacement for an existing pole mounted substation, and it is
required that the transformer be physically interchangeable, then the bracket and hanger
designs shown on the drawings that form part of this document may be used. Refer to
drawing list in Section 2.3.
6.8
Temperature-Rise Limits
The transformer shall be capable of continuous operation at rated power without
exceeding the maximum temperature-rise limits as specified in AS 2374.2 Section 4.2.
6.9
Finish
All internal and external surfaces shall be treated with a coating that provides protection
against corrosion caused by water such as hot dipped galvanising. Protective coating on
the interior of the transformer tank shall not react with the insulating oil or its additives.
All welds shall be made smooth, rough edges rounded and weld splatter removed. The
transformer tank and cover shall remain corrosion free for the life of the transformer. The
internal and external surfaces shall be prepared and the paint applied strictly in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
When an existing transformer suffers damage to its finish the repair shall be to the
original standard of finish.
6.10
Colour
Painting of the transformer external surfaces shall be as per Section 4.2.2 of RailCorp
Standard EP 00 00 00 15 SP.
Outside surface of the transformer shall be painted storm grey, colour No. 42 to AS 2700.
Deviation from RailCorp Standard requirements may be accepted subject to RailCorp
Engineering approval.

Section 3.2 of RailCorp Standard EP 00 00 00 13 SP.
The installation may be located in close proximity to railway tracks that is subject to
significant dust and dirt ingress. The transformer shall not be adversely affected when
operating under these environments.
6.13
Sound Level
The transformer sound level shall be measured in accordance with AS/NZS 60076.10
and shall comply with the “Standard limit” as per Annex ZA of AS/NZS 60076.10.

6.15
Insulating Oil
Insulating oil shall comply with the requirements of AS 1767.1.
Insulating oil used in the transformer shall be mineral based, inhibited class-1 grade
naphthenic oil. New or regenerated oil used in the transformer shall not contain any
carcinogenic substances.
The transformer shall not have a moisture content of greater than 10ppm prior to the
filling of oil. Oil shall be filled under vacuum to minimise ingress of moisture.
In order to comply with NSW Environment Protection Agency guidelines for PCB free
materials the transformer oil must contain less than 2 milligrams per kilogram of PCB.
After the transformer has been delivered to site and any oil added, as may be necessary,
the suppliers shall arrange for the oil to be tested for PCB content and a certificate issued
to the Purchaser showing the PCB content. Should the PCB content exceed 2.0 mg/kg
then the suppliers shall arrange for the oil to be “treated” as necessary to reduce the PCB
level below 2 mg/kg.

RAM Requirements
The transformer shall exhibit a high level of reliability, consistent with the achievement of
availability targets specified for the equipment. Manufacturers shall provide details of
reliability claimed for each major element of the transformer in the specified operating
environment including the source of reliability data. If claimed reliability performance is

based on actual field operating performance, the source of the data, including details of
the installation and, where possible, methods of verification should be provided.
Reliability performance is to be expressed in the form of a mean time between failure
(MTBF), where a failure is defined as a condition which will prevent the item performing
its intended primary functions.
Manufacturers are to also to provide information on specific maintainability features
included in the design and are to provide typical and average times needed to replace
major replaceable items (including test where necessary) and to perform routine
inspection and replacement of consumable items.
Estimates should include a clear statement about whether the mean time to repair
(MTTR) quoted include any allowance for response times and waiting times to obtain
suitable spares and other equipment necessary for the task.
7.3
Maintenance
The relevant RailCorp Technical Maintenance Plans shall be adhered to for the
maintenance of the type of transformer. Where a new type of transformer is purchased
and installed that is not covered by the TMP then a new service schedule shall be
created and the TMP updated. This shall include:
• The “Maintenance Policy”, defining the practical means of maintaining the
equipment.
• The tasks to be performed at each level of maintenance and staff skill levels
required.
• Test equipment and tools.
It is preferable that the period for routine maintenance shall not be more frequent than for
the types of transformers currently detailed in the RailCorp Technical Maintenance Plan.

Requirements for Technical Aspects of Tender
Evaluation
Evaluation of tenders
The Chief Engineer Electrical requires that persons evaluating the technical aspects of
this tender have sufficient technical competence for the task.
Tender evaluation committees shall forward details of persons evaluating the technical
aspects of the tender to the Chief Engineer Electrical for concurrence. This will normally
be in the form of an email and is to include sufficient detail of the tender and the person to
enable the Chief Engineer Electrical to satisfy themself of the merits of the evaluating
person. A minimum of 4 weeks notice is required prior to the evaluation of the Tenders.
The Chief Engineer Electrical will advise only if the person is considered unsuitable for
the technical evaluation.
Acceptance of product
A number of the specifications require acceptance of product at both the factory and at
site. The purchaser is to advise the Chief Engineer Electrical the details of the person
carrying out the acceptance testing for the concurrence of the Chief Engineer Electrical. A
minimum of 4 weeks notice is required prior to the evaluation of the acceptance testing.
The Chief Engineer Electrical will advise only if the person is considered unsuitable for
the acceptance testing.
The Chief Engineer Electrical reserves the right to nominate a representative to review
and/or attend such acceptance.
Record Keeping
Where product is purchased against this specification, the Chief Engineer Electrical
requires that relevant detail be provided so that it can be logged against this specification.
For RailCorp purchases, the tender evaluation committee shall advise the Chief Engineer
Electrical the RailCorp registered file details containing the tender evaluation for future
referencing. This is normally a TRIM reference.
Where this specification is utilised by parties external to RailCorp (Alliance parties, etc)
then copies of all relevant technical information and evaluation shall be forwarded to the
Chief Engineer Electrical for filing against the specification. In addition copies of selected
commercial information pertaining to the ongoing support of the product as follows is also
required.
• Warranty details
• Spare parts and associated availability
• Product support information.
