State each primary voltage, the secondary voltage, switching arrangement and operating conditions in the RFQ.
Specify each voltage explicitly
For a dual-primary-voltage transformer inquiry, list both requested primary voltages and the required secondary voltage. Include rated capacity, phase, frequency and quantity. A description such as “10/6 kV primary, 0.4 kV secondary” identifies the intended voltage options, but the final connection and switching arrangement still require design confirmation.
Explain how the unit will be used
Describe the application, network conditions and why two primary voltage options are required. Identify any destination utility requirements or buyer specification. Ask the supplier to review whether the requested arrangement is suitable for the selected capacity and operating conditions.
Approve the switching and connection documents
Agree the proposed method of selecting the primary voltage, the connection diagram, nameplate information and operating instructions before production. Do not assume that a voltage-change arrangement may be operated while energized. Only qualified personnel should carry out switching in accordance with the approved equipment instructions and project procedures.
Keep the quotation scope clear
Compare offers against the same voltage options, guaranteed particulars, accessories and required documents. Confirm any departures from the requested schedule in writing. Include available drawings when asking for a quotation and identify any details that remain undecided. The final design and supply scope must match the approved technical schedule rather than a general product title.
Frequently asked questions
What voltage information should the RFQ include?
State both primary voltages, the secondary voltage, frequency, capacity and the intended operating arrangement.
Does dual voltage mean switching is allowed while energized?
No. The permitted switching procedure must be confirmed in the approved equipment instructions and carried out by qualified personnel.
