Average Ohmic loss (kW) = Loss Load Factor X Line Length X No. of sub conductors X (Continuous operating
current)2 X AC Resistance corresponding to continuous operating current
(a) For 23.90 kms 132KV lines which ACSR Panther conductor is to be replaced

considering single conductor per phase,

loss load factor = 0.3, continuous operating current of 700 Amp;
 Average Ohmic loss (kW) =(0.3 * (23.90) * 3 * (700)2 * Rac(P) ) / 1000 = 10.539 * 103 * Rac(P) kW.

Where,
Rac(p) is the AC resistance per km of HTLS conductor eq. to ACSR Panther, guaranteed by the bidder at
temperature corresponding to the continuous operating current of 700 A under normal condition.

Therefore, the total loading of the package shall be = 10.539 * 103 * Rac(P) kW (Panther)
Differential Price evaluation for the conductors offered by the bidders shall be carried out considering the Average
Ohmic Losses calculated as above and considering Rs. 1,52,600/- per kW.
The best parameter of loss (lowest Ohmic Loss for conductor) corresponding to lowest AC resistance quoted among
bidders by any technically responsive and qualified bidder shall be taken as basis and that quoted by the particular
bidder shall be used to arrive at differential price to be applied for each bid.

subsequently require, that the Project Manager order the Contractor from time to time
during the performance of the Contract to make any change, modification, addition or
deletion to, in or from the Facilities (hereinafter called “Change”), provided that such
Change falls within the general scope of the Facilities and does not constitute unrelated
work and that it is technically practicable, taking into account both the state of advancement
of the Facilities and the technical compatibility of the Change envisaged with the nature of
the Facilities as specified in the Contract.
33.1.2 The Contractor may from time to time during its performance of the Contract propose to the
Employer (with a copy to the Project Manager) any Change that the Contractor considers
necessary or desirable to improve the quality, efficiency or safety of the Facilities. The
Employer may at its discretion approve or reject any Change proposed by the Contractor,
provided that the Employer shall approve any Change proposed by the Contractor to ensure
the safety of the Facilities.
33.1.3 Changes made necessary because of any default of the Contractor in the performance of its
obligations under the Contract shall be not be deemed to be a Change, and such change shall
not result in any adjustment of the Contract Price or the Time for Completion.
33.1.4 The procedure on how to proceed with and execute Changes is specified in OCC Sub-
Clauses 33.2 and 33.3.
33.2 Changes Originating from Employer
33.2.1 The pricing of any Change shall, as far as practicable, be calculated in accordance with the
rates and prices included in the Contract. If such rates and prices are inequitable, the parties
thereto shall agree on specific rates for the valuation of the Change.
33.2.2 The Contract Price for (i) the items for which quantities have been indicated as lumpsum or
lot or set and/or (ii) where the quantities are to be estimated by the Contractor shall remain
constant unless there is change made in the Scope of Work by Employer. The quantities and
unit prices (i) subsequently arrived while approving the Bill of Quantities (BOQ)/Billing
breakup of lumpsum quantities/lot/Set and/or (ii) estimated by the Contractor shall be for on
account payment purpose only. In case additional quantities, over and above the quantities
in BOQ/billing breakup and /or estimated by the Contractor, are required for successful
completion of the scope of work as per Technical Specification, the Contractor shall execute
additional quantities of these items for which no additional payment shall be made over and
above the lumpsum Contract Price. In case quantities of these items supplied at site are in
excess of that required for successful completion of scope of work, such additional
quantities shall be the property of the Contractor and they shall be allowed to take back the
same from the site for which no deduction from the lumpsum Contract Price shall be made.

indemnity bond to keep Employer harmless from any liability, before release of such
material to the Contractor by Employer.

description read in conjunction with relevant provisions of Technical Specifications and the
Billing breakup referred to above shall be issued by the Employer based on Contractor’s
 request, if and as may be required during the currency of the Contract.
33.2.3 If before or during the preparation of the Change Proposal it becomes apparent that the
aggregate effect of compliance therewith and with all other Change Orders that have
already become binding upon the Contractor under this OCC Clause 33 would be to
increase or decrease the Contract Price as originally set forth in Article 2 (Contract Price
and Terms of Payment) of the Contract Agreement by more than the percentage specified in
SCC, the Employer and the Contractor shall mutually agree on specific rates for valuation
of the Change beyond the specified percentage.
For the said purpose, the Contract Price means the Contract Price of the Facilities
notwithstanding the Construction of the Contract.
33.2.4 If rates and prices of any change are not available in the Contract, the parties thereto shall

the Change Proposal, the Employer may nevertheless instruct the Contractor to proceed with
the Change by issue of a “Pending Agreement Change Order” (“Pending Agreement
Amendment”).
Upon receipt of a Pending Agreement Change Order, the Contractor shall immediately
proceed with effecting the Changes covered by such Order. The parties shall thereafter
attempt to reach agreement on the outstanding issues under the Change Proposal.

date of the suspension and the reasons therefor. The Contractor shall thereupon suspend
performance of such obligation (except those obligations necessary for the care or
preservation of the Facilities) until ordered in writing to resume such performance by the

Contractor’s default or breach of the Contract, the Contractor’s performance of any of its
obligations is suspended for an aggregate period of more than ninety (90) days, then at any
time thereafter and provided that at that time such performance is still suspended, the
Contractor may give a notice to the Project Manager requiring that the Employer shall,

1.10 Evaluation of Ohmic Losses & Differential Price Loading

1.10.1 Based on the conductor parameters guaranteed by the bidders, average ohmic losses for
different type of conductors offered by the bidders shall be calculated as per the following formula:

Average Ohmic loss (kW) = Loss Load Factor X Line Length X No. of sub conductors X
(Continuous operating current) 2 X AC Resistance
corresponding to continuous operating current
 For 23.90 kms 132KV lines which ACSR Panther conductor is to be replaced

considering single conductor per phase,

loss load factor = 0.3, continuous operating current of 700 Amp;

Average Ohmic loss (kW) =0.3 x (23.90) x 3 x (700)2 x Rac(P)/1000 = 10.539 X 103 X Rac(P)
Where, Rac(p) is the AC resistance per km of HTLS conductor eq. to ACSR Panther,
guaranteed by the bidder at temperature corresponding to the continuous operating current of
700 A under normal condition.

Differential price evaluation for the conductors offered by the bidders shall be carried out
considering the average ohmic losses calculated as above and considering Rs. 1,52,600/- per kW.
The best parameter of loss (lowest ohmic loss for conductor) corresponding to lowest AC
resistance quoted among bidders by any technically responsive and qualified bidder shall be
taken as basis and that quoted by the particular bidder shall be used to arrive at differential price to
be applied for each bid.

work of transmission line. Incharge of the Transmission line (Divisional head) must ensure that due publicity
has been made to the public in all the villages/areas along the line route cautioning them against climbing the
towers etc. and that the line is proposed to be charged on so and so date. It is also to be confirmed that the
AGENCIES involved in the construction activities shall not carry out any job on the said line without a valid
WORK PERMIT.
It shall be ensured before charging that all men, material, Tools and plants and any temporary earthing
on any part of the entire length of line are removed.
It must be ensured that any power supply / low voltage charging used as anti-theft measure must be
disconnected and isolated to avoid accidental connection.
All equipment tests and pre-commissioning tests must have been completed, reterminated (in case cables were
isolated for testing purpose) and documented.
The system must be formally declared ready for energization and handed over for operation in writing.

All the jumpers shall be checked properly. In case, jumpers
(conductor/earthwire) is found loose, it shall be tightened sufficiently.
4.7.5 Foreign material
Ensure that all foreign materials viz dead bird. fallen tree branches, bird nests etc. on conductors,
earthwires, Jumper, insulator string, cross arms are re- moved.
4.7.6. Others
It shall be ensured that all temporary/local earthing, guys, T & P (Tools and Plants), foreign
material and other loose material which were used during stringing/tower erection have been removed.
In case there is any change in the ground profile before commissioning of line from the approved
profile, the extra earth/obstruction
/temporary sheds/any other construction shall be removed.

5.0 STATUTORY REQUIREMENT

5.1. The concerned authorities shall be informed before commissioning the lines and ,if necessary, their
approval shall be obtained in accordance with Indian Electricity Act, 1910 and Indian Electricity Rule,
1956. and Electricity Act 2003.
6.0 HANDING OVER
The transmission line shall be inspected prior to energization and a formal handing over document to be
jointly signed by the representative of Contractor and UPPTCL. However all contractual taking over has to
be resolved separately as per the terms and conditions of the contract. The Handing over shall be limited to
the completion of Erection and ready for Energization. Any outstanding points or remaining activities are
to be listed jointly by UPPTCL and contrctor and signed jointly. These documents are also to be retained
at Head Quarter with a copy to Consignee. The remaining activities/outstanding points are classified in
the following category.
Details of the SECTIONS :
A. List of outstanding activities remaining in any part of the line
B. A list of temporary arrangements introduced.
C. Check list records properly documented, completed and signed.
D. Original tracing of Profile, Route Alignment, Tower Design, Structural Drawings,
Bill of Materials, Shop Drawings, Stringing charts (initial and final as applicable) etc. of all
towers/line submitted to UPPTCL.
With the outstanding activities mentioned above are solved or with only minor points without influence on
the charging remain (minor issues handing over of the transmission line shall be accepted by the pre-
coinmissioning team. This handing over for energization with or without remaining activities shall be
made by the group head to the commissioning in charge in writing .
Shortcomings noticed during the inspection, "List of outstanding activities" shall be recorded and a copy of
the format is to be given to the responsible parties like SUPPLIER(s) and ERECTION AGENCY etc. for
corrective action to be taken on a time schedule.
7.0 PROTECTIVE SYSTEM
Before energization it must be ascertained that all protective systems for the unit to be energized are
operative.
This includes confirmation that the protections have been properly tested and that the tests have been
documented.
It also includes verification by inspection or otherwise, if necessary by repetition of trip test, that the
protections are actually functionally enabled. This verification serves to prevent that energization takes
place of a unit where a protection has been disabled for test or other reason.
8.0 DISPATCH PROCEDURES
All operational activities (switching etc.) must be coordinated and communicated with the system
dispatcher i.e. I0CC / CPCC / RLDC.
In this respect the general procedures already established by UPP T CL
will be followed.
9.0 SWITCHING PROCEDURES
For each activity the instructions to the operators and the communications to the dispatchers will be made
in writing or by confirmed telephone messages. The switching procedures first to be properly documented
step by step and understood by everybody involved in the switching operation prior to the energisation.
Any clarification required in the procedures must be resolved. The format established by UPPTCL
for switching orders and operational data logging shall be followed.
The implication of this is that each and every activity must be listed and described, so that complete
information is available for detail investigation, if required in future.
10.0 TESTING AND MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
10.2.2 Conductor Continuity Test
10.2.2.1 The objective of this test is to verify that each conductor of the overhead line properly connected
electrically (the value of electrical resistance of line does not vary abnormally from that of a continuous
conductor of the same size and length). The electrical resistance of the conductor shall be measured with
a Whetstone bridge or other suitable instrument, if available taking the safety aspects of Equipment as well
as testing Engineer.
11.0 ENERGIZATION
Execution of the energization is simply the last event in the switching sequence, switching of the close
control button for the relevant circuit breaker.
12.0 DE-ENERGIZATION
Instructions about de-energization will be given only if this is part of the test. Otherwise de-energization
will be considered part of regular operation.
13.0 OBSERVATION AND DURATION
Visual and audible inspection (look and listen) of the relevant equipment and reading of permanent
instrumentation will be made.
The system shall be charged at least for 8 hours. During this time continuous monitoring and inspection
will be maintained in control room, auxiliary systems areas and switch yards.
This will include frequent, scheduled inspection of all equipment and reading of all permanent
instruments and recorders, and surge arrester counters, especially system parameters as per standard
procedures adopted by UPPTCL.
14.0 PASSING CRITERIA
Neither insulation breakdown nor protective system actions must occur. No irregular equipment behaviour
noise, vibration, high temperature is permitted.
Corona discharges may not be “unreasonable”. Local discharges that may be attributable to sharp points
shall be carefully located and recorded. After termination of the energization the equipment shall be
closely inspected and the points rounded or covered.
No unscheduled changes of system nor of equipment is permitted during the 8 hour energized condition.
15.0 DOCUMENTATION
Switching and operational activities will be recorded in regular manner in the operators log. Likewise all
readings of permanent instruments. Copies of this log, notes on special observations from inspections and
other measurements will constitute the test records.
