associated.
The method of securing current transformers in position shall be such that no undue pressure
is exerted on the windings.
All connections from secondary windings shall be brought out and connected by means of
separate insulated leads to a terminal board, and each shall be securely braced and so
arranged as to prevent accidental contact with main connections due to displacement or
breaking of the leads. Secondary cables greater than 2 metres in length shall be 6 mm.
The Contractor shall state the accuracy, capacity and ratio of the transformers are suitable for
the particular duty with which they are associated.
Protective current transformers shall maintain their ratio to ensure stability of protective
systems under fault conditions.

All indicating instruments shall be to AS 1042 accuracy class 1.5 and have scales in
accordance with BS 3693. They shall have a scale length of not less than 100mm and a scale
movement of approximately 270, and shall be of the flush mounting type with square bezels.
All instruments and apparatus shall be capable of carrying their full load currents without
undue heating. They shall not be damaged due to the passage of fault currents up to the
maximum fault current of the switchgear. All instruments and apparatus shall be back
connected. Accepted means shall be provided for zero adjustment of instrument without
dismantling.
All indicating instrument scales shall be clearly divided and indelibly marked, and the points
shall be of clean outline. Unless otherwise accepted the marking of the main area of the dials
shall be restricted to the scale marking; instrument transformer ratios, makers name, accuracy
grades etc shall not appear on the dials, but shall be marked in an accepted position,
preferably below the bezel.
Ammeters may be directly connected in circuits having a rated full load current not exceeding
25 amp. Ammeters in circuits having a rated full load current above 25 amp shall be current
transformer operated. Ammeters shall be checked against actual primary current and
adjusted to suit.
Ammeters shall be capable of carrying rated currents continuously without undue heating, be
suitable for operation without damage when carrying direct on-line starting currents of motors
and shall withstand the passage of fault currents until operation of the main circuit protective
device.
Ammeter scaling shall be such that normal full load current gives approximately full scale
deflection.
Supply and install limit and proximity switches complete with all necessary base plates, striker
arms, cams and brackets as required for the correct operation of the plant. Liaise with the
Mechanical Contractor to ensure the limit and proximity switches are correctly located. The
Electrical Services Contractor is responsible for the correct operation of all limit and proximity
switches.
Limit switches shall be of metal construction, plastic body types shall not be permitted.
Proximity switches used for level monitoring or for detecting grain shall be fitted into a steel
flange to allow for easy testing of the unit.
The Contractor shall install and commission lanyard operated emergency stop system as
shown on the drawings and complying with AS 1755. Each lanyard system shall be complete
with lanyard wires, heavy duty compensating springs, eye bolts, turnbuckles and all fixings to
commission the system. The Contractor shall also install Conveyor Stop signs at intervals of
not more than 30 metres in accordance with AS 1755 clause 3.15.5.2.
Lanyard wires shall be PVC sheathed covered, flexible galvanised steel wire rope, 6 x 19
construction, minimum 3.5mm diameter where 5mm is not available. The wires shall extend to
within 1 metre of the end of the conveyor structure and shall be no longer than 120 metres.
The end of each lanyard cable, adjacent to the switch shall be anchored to a rope thimble with
clips and a galvanised turnbuckle. The turnbuckle shall be complete with an adjustable screw
eye bolt and locknut.
Where the lanyard cables changes direction a durable pulley block shall be supplied and fitted
under this contract.
Where two or more lanyard pull switches are installed on one side of equipment, the lanyards
shall not be connected in series through the switches, but each switch lanyard shall have
separate anchor points.
Where specified, these units shall be installed such that the heat dissipation does not
adversely effect other electrical equipment.
All auto transformers shall be manufactured in accordance with AS 1202 and have class A
insulation. Taps shall be provided at 50, 65 and 80%.
The duty classification shall not be less than 0.1; i.e. 12 starts per hour.
Thermistors shall be incorporated in the windings to provide thermal protection of the auto
transformer.
Soft starters shall have external bypass contactors installed where required. The soft starter
shall be set as per drawing Soft Starter Parameter Settings. This may be varied during
commissioning depending on equipment connected. Fine tuning of the current limit start shall
ensure that the motor reaches full speed within 15 seconds. If this is not achieved other
parameters may be varied.
All Areas
Motors fitted with a Soft starter to have a Control Panel mounted manual reset push button.
General
Motor overloads shall be rated 10% greater than the manufacturers stated full load current of
the motor.
The Contractor warrants that where the functioning of any aspect of the Works relies on,
incorporates or otherwise utilises a date code the Works have been specifically designed and
tested, where applicable, in conjunction with associated software and/or hardware, to
accommodate and implement the transition from the Year 1999 to the Year 2000. John Cairns
to confirm.
This Year 2000 Warranty will survive termination of this Contract and will continue for the life
of the Works. TBC.
Where modifications to existing switchgear or cubicles in non hazardous areas are specified,
the Contractor shall install indicating lamps, push buttons and similar accessories that match
the existing equipment. The requirements of this clause supersede the information detailed in
the schedule of equipment.
Where existing Mimic Panels are to be modified, the contractor shall remove the existing
Panel and have it engraved as shown on the drawings. The contractor shall nominate in his
Tender the Engraving sub-contractor.
Where modifications to existing switchgear or cubicles in hazardous areas are specified, the
Contractor shall treat the upgrade as a new installation and such shall comply with all current
standards and industry requirements as specified in Clause 2.0 - Definitions and Clause 3.0
Standards, of this document.
The contractor shall install cable (see drawings for number of pairs) in an unbroken (no joints)
section between the weighbridge and the sample platform. The cable shall be installed in

every 100 metres and or change of direction. If the pits are likely to be damaged by vehicles
and or machinery the contractor shall install trafficable pits and lids. Terminate using SC
connectors.
During installation, the cable bends no greater than 20 times the diameter.
After installation, the cable bends no greater than 10 times the diameter.
Storage loops, the cable bends no greater than 30 times the diameter.
The contractor shall install 20 pair cable (or as nominated) in an unbroken (no joints) section
between the weighbridge and the sample platform MDFs. The cable shall be installed in
separate, continuous and glued 50mm communication conduits in all cases. Install draw-in pits
every 100 metres and or change of direction. If the pits are likely to be damaged by vehicles
and or machinery the contractor shall install trafficable pits and lids. See Appendix A for
cable type.
The REPOLS system shall be tested in accordance with Appendix D of this specification.
The Contractor shall install a lightning protection system that will prevent damage or injury
