electricity 11KV/433V distribution network in the state of Qatar.
Distribution Package Substation Unit comprises of an Enclosure, Transformer, 11kV Ring main
unit(RMU) and LV Sub-station cable distribution board (SCDB) (also known as FEEDER PILLAR),
HV & LV inter-connections, auxiliary equipment and circuits, in a single transportable unit ready for
operation on being placed in position and jointed into the network.
The DPS shall be able to provide a minimum service life of 30 years under the specified environmental,
climatic, system and service conditions specified, with minimum maintenance requirements.
DPS are intended to install, outdoor, exposed to direct sunlight. However, each component or
compartment of DPS (i.e., transformer, HV & LV S/G units) shall also individually be capable of
withstanding these conditions in outdoor.
Different Power ratings of the DPS are: 315, 500, 1000, and 1600KVA.

operation where the energy originates from manual power, is stored and released
in one continuous operation, such that the speed and force of the operation are
independent of the action of the operator. It shall not be possible for the
operating mechanism(s) to be left in such a condition that any energy stored in
the initial part of the operation remains in the spring when the switch is in the
'ON', 'OFF', and 'EARTH ON' positions. In addition movement of an operating
handle against an interlock shall not charge any spring to any significant extent.
Lockable storage facilities shall be provided for removable operating handles in a

position readily accessible from the front of the equipment.
It shall be possible to lock the operating mechanism(s) in any operating position

'EARTH ON' to move a captive device which can be padlocked and which shall
be labelled 'MOVE BEFORE EARTHING'. The same device must prevent
operation from 'EARTH OFF' to 'ON' until the device is removed.
Mechanical indication of the operating positions of the switches and circuit

breaker shall be provided.
The indicators shall be positively driven in both directions so as to show whether

the switch circuit breaker contacts are in the ON, OFF or EARTH ON positions.
The positions shall be clearly indicated and the indicators shall be inscribed.

OFF White Green

EARTH ON Black Yellow
The height of the letters shall be approximately 10mm. Indication of only one of
these three positions shall be visible at any one time.

readily apparent. A label for this purpose shall be provided on the fixed portion
positioned close to the midpoint of the operating stroke and shall incorporate
arrows to indicate the direction of movement to achieve the final handle position
of the selected operation.
It shall not be possible to operate a non fault breaking switch from ON to OFF,
or an earth switch from EARTH ON to EARTH OFF for a minimum period of
three seconds subsequent to achievement of the ON or EARTH ON positions

through fault condition, the voltage developed across the shunt trip coil (or
the current through the shunt trip coil) shall not trip the transformer switch.
o) The scheme shall be tested for, CTs to prove ratio, polarity, magnetization
curve and winding resistance, ratio checks for confirming that the installed
CTs are adequate for the REF scheme and also the stability checks and
Tripping shall be proved.
p) Sensitivity of the scheme shall be tested by Primary injection. Also the
stability of the scheme shall be tested for external faults.
