7 Writer select unit shall be *[mineral oil-] [biodegradable electrical insulating fluid from high oleic oil sources] [silicone/high fire point liquid-] [high-molecular-weight hydro-carbon/high fire point liquid-] filled and shall be in accordance with the latest edition of the NEC. High fire point fluids shall be Factory Mutual and UL transformer shall carry its continuous rating with average winding or temperature rise by that shall not exceed 65 degrees C rise, based on an average ambient of 30 degrees C over 24 hours with a maximum of 40 degrees *OR --The transformer shall carry its continuous rating with average winding temperature rise by that shall not exceed 55 degrees C, based on average ambient of 30 degrees C over 24 hours with a maximum of 40 degrees C. The insulation system shall allow an additional 12% kVA output at 65 degrees C average winding temperature rise by resistance, on a continuous basis, without any decrease in normal transformer transformer shall be designed to meet the sound level standards for liquid TRANSFORMERS defined in NEMA and and low-voltage windings shall be *[aluminum] [copper].

8 Insulation between of the windings shall be by thermally set insulating paper or main transformer tank and attached components shall be designed to withstand greater than the required operating design value without permanent deformation. Construction shall consist of carbon steel reinforced with external, internal or sidewall braces. All seams and joints shall be continuously assembly shall be individually welded and receive a quality control pressurized check leaks. The entire tank assembly shall receive a similar leak test before tanking. A final six-hour leak test shall be transformer(s) shall be compartmental-type, self-cooled and tamper-resistant for on a pad. The unit shall restrict the entry of water (other than flood water) into the compartments so as not to impair its operation.
