WAPA currently leases the following equipment and software from Doble: a. Twenty-six (26) Doble Type M4100 test sets and associated hardware (test and control cables) for testing and evaluating in the field the condition of insulation systems in electrical power equipment by measurements of watts-loss, current and capacitance at a given applied voltage when connected to a commercial 110-volt, 60-hertz source. The test equipment shall have an output capacity of 100 milliamperes continuous and 300 milliamperes intermittent at voltages of from 2 to 10 kilovolts, 60 hertz, and be suitable for testing bushings, potheads, bus and disconnecting switch insulators, circuit breakers, instrument transformers, power transformers of all sizes, lightning arresters, insulating oil and other fluids, and power cables in lengths up to approximately 1,000 feet. b. Four (4) Doble Type M4110 Leakage Reactance Module for performing short-circuit impedance tests on transformers for diagnosing winding deformation. c. One (1) Doble Type M5400 Sweep Frequency Response Analyzers (SFRAs) with cables, including data interpretation and one (1) additional day of services (travel costs excluded). d. Thirteen (13) Doble Type M5500 Sweep Frequency Response Analyzers (SFRAs) with cables. e. Eight (8) Doble Type TDR900 Timing Function Tester for circuit breaker testing with cables. f. Associated Operating Software. The test equipment shall incorporate state-of-the-art features and capabilities for automatically processing, storing and transmitting test results using the contractor�s provided software system. The software system must be licensed with Doble to perform data updates to historical file systems.
