To take advantage of business opportunities with BOR and DOI you must register your firm with Central Contractor Registration (CCR) at http://www.ccr.gov. The Bureau of Reclamation has a requirement for one (1) Portable High Voltage DC Hipot tester. The DC Hipot tester will be expandable from 175 kV to 700 kV and be better than or equal to a Hubbell Hipotronics 8175-PL Series, Model 8175-PL-4 with the salient characteristics listed below. The Portable High Voltage Tester will be used to perform tests on all types of electrical products, systems, and components. The Government currently owns and uses two Hubbell DC Hipot testers and is seeking uniformity between available on-project test sets. Workers will use the tester to verify the strength of the insulation between the current carrying components and enclosures. The test is done by applying a high voltage from the main-input lines to the enclosure of the product and measuring the resulting leakage current flowing through its insulation. To ease the ongoing training burden of keeping worker skills at the needed level the Government will standardize testing equipment. Requirement: CLIN 001: One each: Hubbell (brand name or equal) 8175-PL-4 Test Set which includes (4) 8175-MOD - 175 kV module with spinning insulator, resistor section and module interconnect leads; (1) 8175-CONT - Controller kit with controls and isolation transformer; (1) 8175-RES - Resister, 285 kohm, 7 kJ; (1) 8175-RES - DC Hipot Resistor Support Kit; (1) 8175-EXT-HV, High Voltage Expansion Kit; (1) input line cord, 10 feet; (1) extension cord, 40 feet; (1) interconnection cable, 10 feet; (1) calibration certificate 23; (1) User's Manual; (1) Training period, vendor will provide a minimum of one day of on-site training for up to six government employees on the operation of the new system; (1) The manufacturer shall warranty the unit to be free from defects in workmanship and materials for a period of 1 year. If a defect is found the manufacturer shall repair or replace the component at the discretion of the manufacturer. The warranty period expires one year from the completion of the training date; (1) Proposed delivery schedule (delivery, acceptance, and FOB will be: Bureau of Reclamation, Warehouse B, Grand Coulee, WA 99133; (3 minimum) References for like items: including name, company affiliation, and contact phone number with extension, for past performance rating. CLIN 002: 8175 Series DC Hipot Accessories: (1) 8175-LFT Lifting Tongs. Salient Characteristics: Shall be rugged, light weight, and portable, modular (expandable) construction to limit setup time; expandable from 175 kV to 700 kV; high current output for testing large loads; reversible polarity; ripple <0.2% per mA; zero start interlock and external interlock provisions for safety during operation; anti-corona toroid; ability to withstand repeated overloads; guard circuit; momentary current reversal switch; storage container; input voltage frequency 220 volts, 50/60 Hz; input current 30 amps; number of modules 4; output voltage 700 kV DC; output current 4.3 mA; duty cycle 15 minutes on / 1 hour off; output polarity reversible; output ripple 0-100kV dc and 0-200 kV dc; Ammeter 0-5 / 50 / 500 uA / 5 / 25 mA ; accuracy + or - 2% full scale; controller size: approximately 20" x 11" x 15" or less; controller weight 135 lbs. or less; HV section size: approximately 18" x 26" x18" or less; HV section weight 320 lbs. or less; Isolation Transformer size: approximately 20" x 15" x 20".
