within 30seconds (maximum) of commencement of nitrogen injection. The list of
past supplies in India / Abroad along with performance certificate from users of the
system shall be submitted for approval of purchaser.
Nitrogen Injection system should be a dedicated system for each oil filled
Transformer. It should have a Fire Extinguishing Cubicle (FEC) placed on a plinth
at a distance of 5-10m away from Transformer or placed next to the firewall (if fire
fighting wall exists).

16/10562/001/PUN/ 001 Revision B3 Page 31 of 54


Yarrow Infrastructure Limited RFP for Power Transformer

The FEC shall be connected to the top of Transformer oil tank for depressurization
of tank and to the oil pit (capacity is approximately equal to 10% of total volume of
