(iii) The testing set shall be capable of working in hostile condition of electrostatic field
prevailing in charged HV/EHV Substations up to 220 kV of high voltage and of high
interference environment.
9.0 DOCUMENTATION:

The supplier shall furnish nicely printed and bound volumes of the instruction manuals in
English language, prior to the dispatch of the equipment. The instruction manual shall
contain step by step instructions for all operational & maintenance requirements for all
the testing equipments. If should also include the GA & detailed schematic drawings
including internal wiring diagram of the various equipments to facilitate its repair at site
incase of any defect.

The number of sets of instruction manuals to be supplied shall be as under: -

i) Two sets for CE/MM, HVPNL, Panchkula

ii) Five sets separately bound for each item for SE/M&P-Cum-Carrier Circle,
HVPNL, Delhi & five sets for SE/M&P-Cum-Carrier Circle, HVPNL, Ambala.
