Why an RFQ document list changes quotation quality<\/h2>\n<p>Suppliers answer the questions they are asked. An RFQ that only states kVA and voltage invites quotations that hide loss values, tolerance assumptions, and accessory scope.<\/p>\n<p>A document checklist forces every bidder to reveal the same technical evidence, which shortens clarification rounds and exposes weak offers early.<\/p>\n<p>For related context, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/lbajiele.com\/id\/blog\/2000kva-oil-immersed-power-specifications-rfq-guide\/\">2000KVA oil immersed specifications and RFQ guide<\/a>.<br \/>\nFor related context, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/lbajiele.com\/id\/blog\/800kva-oil-immersed-specifications-rfq-checklist\/\">800KVA oil immersed specifications and RFQ checklist<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Part 2. Core technical documents to request<\/h2>\n<p>Request these documents together with the quotation, not after the purchase order.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Technical document review for a power transformer RFQ\" src=\"https:\/\/lbajiele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Distribution-Transformer.2.webp\" \/><\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Document<\/th>\n<th>What it confirms<\/th>\n<th>Tahap<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>General arrangement (GA) drawing<\/td>\n<td>Dimensions, weights, bushing and cable box layout<\/td>\n<td>With quotation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Nameplate draft<\/td>\n<td>Rated kVA and voltage combination, vector group, impedance<\/td>\n<td>Before PO<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Loss and impedance sheet<\/td>\n<td>No-load and load losses at one reference temperature<\/td>\n<td>With quotation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Routine test report template<\/td>\n<td>Which tests the factory performs on every unit<\/td>\n<td>With quotation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Type test evidence<\/td>\n<td>Design-level proof of temperature rise and short-circuit strength<\/td>\n<td>Before PO<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>O&amp;M manual sample<\/td>\n<td>Installation, commissioning, and maintenance scope<\/td>\n<td>Before shipment<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Ask which items are standard and which are priced options; the split varies by factory and export market.<\/p>\n<h2>Part 3. Electrical ratings the RFQ must state<\/h2>\n<p>State the rated kVA and voltage combination, frequency, vector group and tap range, cooling method and enclosure, and the short-circuit impedance target in one ratings table.<\/p>\n<p>Add altitude, ambient range, and any harmonic-rich or motor-starting duty so the factory can confirm design margins.<\/p>\n<p>Quotations built on complete ratings tables can be compared line by line without guessing what each bidder assumed.<\/p>\n<h2>Part 4. Test reports and quality evidence<\/h2>\n<p>Routine tests run on every production unit; request the report format and acceptance criteria in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Separate routine tests from type and special tests, and state which type test evidence you accept: reports on identical designs, or witnessed repeats.<\/p>\n<p>Reference IEC 60076-1 and IEEE C57.12.90 as the testing basis so both sides read the same definitions.<\/p>\n<h2>Part 5. Commercial and shipping documents<\/h2>\n<p>Request all quotations on the same Incoterm so freight, insurance, and export packing stay comparable.<\/p>\n<p>Ask for packing method, impact recorder policy, gross weights, and the customs document set for the destination market.<\/p>\n<p>Payment terms, warranty wording, and spare parts lists belong in the quotation stage, not after contract signature.<\/p>\n<h2>Part 6.
