The contract specifies the procurement of a submersible single phase solid insulation distribution transformer designed for 60 Hz operation with a 13,800 volt primary rated at 95KV BIL and a 240/120 volt three wire subtractive polarity secondary rated at 30KV BIL, suitable for installation on a 13,800 volt delta system. The transformer must meet or exceed all applicable requirements of NEMA TR-1, IEEE C57, and IEEE 386 standards, as last revised, and be engineered for continuous nameplate loading under ambient conditions of 40°C average and 50°C maximum daily temperature. The unit must not exceed 860 pounds in weight and 24 inches in length, width, and height. The core is to be constructed of silicon steel with burr-free laminations, properly annealed, and coated with a heat-resistant insulating material, grounded to the core frame, with smooth and clean welds on all core braces. Windings must be fully vacuum molded in epoxy resin using an automatic pressure gelation process, ensuring a void-free solid insulation system composed of non-hygroscopic materials stable at maximum permitted operating temperatures. The secondary leads must be securely fastened and sealed to prevent water ingress and protected from abrasion or vibration damage during transit and service. A tin-plated copper ground terminal with a two-hole pattern is required, and the entire 200°C insulation system must consist entirely of solid dielectric materials. Each transformer shall include two universal bushing wells equipped with stainless steel hold-down tabs and removable copper studs, with the bushing-well interface conforming to Figure 3 of IEEE Standard 386-1995. The solicitation is issued by Nashville Electric Service under Z4657 with a response deadline of July 8, 2026, and the point of contact is Jay Thompson.

General Info

Submersible 13.8kV to 240/120V transformer, solid insulation, NEMA/IEEE compliant, ≤860 lbs, 200°C rating, epoxy molded, seismic-ready.
