Additionally required project data
Example:
- Name of the end customer
KPLC
- country of transformer installation
Kenya
- end customer specification

Enables MR to add end-customer specific accessories
KPLC schematic
Transformer manufacturers benefits:

- Drawings & schematics are already in line with end custumer requirements
- Price is more representative (Quoted price comes very close to final price in case of order)

Page 22
Summary: Required information

- Power rating (MVA)
- Number of phases (Single- or Three-Phase?)
- Vector group
- Regulated Voltage (kV)
- Regulating range (%)
- Number of steps
- Connection type (linear, reversing, coarse/fine?)
- In case of Delta connection: Regulation at line end or in center?
- In case of auto transformer: Constant voltage (kV)
- OLTC voltage stresses during transformer testing, for example in case of Neutral End
application: BIL (OLTC)
- Name of the end customer & country of transformer installation

- Only OLTC prices required or also the enclosures (dimension drawings, schematics etc.)?
