2.2.3 Transformer Sections

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Indicate and specify the type of transformers

required for the project.

1. Use mineral oil filled transformers and locate

transformers at least 7.6 meters (25 feet) from

buildings wherever possible. Where adequate distance

from structures cannot be attained, consult NAVFAC

design manuals and MIL-HDBK-1008, "Fire Protection

for Facilities Engineering, Design, and

Construction." Caution should be used in specifying

less-flammable liquid filled transformers. A

thorough analysis should be made by the designer

prior to using silicone filled transformers due to

the concern over operation of tap changers within the

silicone liquid.

2. Use the following option(s) when additional

capacity is required. This involves special

coordination with transformer KVA rating, as well as

sizes and ratings of fuses and secondary breakers.

a. If it is anticipated that future load

requirements will necessitate increasing the capacity

of the transformer, the specification for the

transformer should require the provision of

components and brackets for future forced air

cooling. Forced-air-cooling increases capacity by:

15 percent (750-2000 KVA); 25 percent (2500-5000

KVA).

b. On rare occasions, change "... insulation

system rated for a 65 degrees C rise..." to read

"...insulation system rated for a 55/65 degrees C

rise to allow transformer(s) to have a continuous

overload capacity of 12 percent at rated voltage

without exceeding 75 degrees C winding temperature

rise."

performed in accordance with NETA ATS.[ The [_____] Division, Naval

Facilities Engineering Command will witness formal tests after receipt of

written certification that preliminary tests have been completed and that

system is ready for final test and inspection.]

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Thermographic surveying is not required on

most projects. NETA recommends that surveys be

performed during periods of maximum possible loading

but with not less than 40 percent of rated load on

the electrical equipment being inspected. Testing at

start-up will therefore not be beneficial except for

hard-to-reach areas where solid connections cannot be

verified by mechanical methods. Thermographic

surveying may be useful if equipment operates under

load for a specified period of time, preferably 3 to

6 months, before testing. The additional costs and

the additional trip (3 to 6 months after the initial

inspection) for the NETA contractor to perform the

survey should be considered prior to specifying the

requirement.

SECTION 26 12 19.10

THREE-PHASE PAD-MOUNTED TRANSFORMERS

05/17

***************************************************************************

NOTE: This guide specification covers the

requirements for three-phase pad-mounted transformers

of the dead-front and live-front types for exterior

applications.

Adhere to UFC 1-300-02 Unified Facilities Guide

Specifications (UFGS) Format Standard when editing

this guide specification or preparing new project

specification sections. Edit this guide

specification for project specific requirements by

adding, deleting, or revising text. For bracketed

items, choose applicable item(s) or insert

appropriate information.

Remove information and requirements not required in

respective project, whether or not brackets are

present.

Comments, suggestions and recommended changes for

this guide specification are welcome and should be

submitted as a Criteria Change Request (CCR).

***************************************************************************

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Use pad-mounted transformers (properly

protected with bayonet type, oil-immersed, expulsion

fuses in series with oil-immersed, partial-range,

current-limiting fuses) for kVA ratings up to and

including 1500 kVA on 5 kV systems and for kVA

ratings up to and including 2500 kVA on 15, 25, and

35 kV systems.

For voltages above 35 kV and in ratings above those

previously indicated, this specification requires

significant modifications and additional

specification sections may need to be added on the

project.

This specification is for standard step-down

applications in utility distribution systems. For

UFGS Energy Updates 2017-Option 1 60516512SO1

Section 26 12 19.10 Page 2

step-up applications (i.e. solar/wind generation,

etc.), this specification requires significant

modifications to address proper voltage designations,

overcurrent and fault protection, etc.

The use of pad-mounted transformers with secondary

currents exceeding 3000 amperes is discouraged due to

the size and quantity of secondary conductors.

Therefore, transformers above 1000 kVA serving

208Y/120 volt loads and transformers above 2500 kVA

serving 480Y/277 volt loads should be in a secondary

unit substation configuration.

Available fault current level and arc-flash energy

become extremely hazardous at the larger kVA size

transformers. Designer should consider these

parameters and evaluate multiple service points.

***************************************************************************

***************************************************************************

NOTE: For Navy and Air Force projects, this

specification incorporates a "reduced shop drawing

submittal process" for listed manufacturers who

previously satisfied reduced shop drawing submittal

process requirements. This specification also

includes unique routine and other test requirements,

transformer loss certificate, transformer test

schedule, and field quality control acceptance tests

and reports. The preparing activity, NAVFAC LANT,

has significant experience and technical expertise in

these areas. If Reach-back support is desired, for a

specific NAVFAC or Air Force project, the technical

representative (electrical engineer) editing this

document for that project must contact the NAVFAC

LANT Capital Improvements Electrical Engineering

(Code CI44) Office for consultation during the design

stage of the project, prior to including the

requirement in the specification.

2.1 PRODUCT COORDINATION

Products and materials not considered to be pad-mounted transformers and

related accessories are specified in[ Section 33 71 01 OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION

AND DISTRIBUTION,][ Section 26 20 00 INTERIOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM,][ and][

Section 33 71 02 UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION].

2.2 THREE-PHASE PAD-MOUNTED TRANSFORMERS

***************************************************************************

NOTE: According to IEEE 386, 200 ampere separable

insulated connectors normally used on dead-front pad-

mounted transformers have both a fault closure and a

short-time current rating of 10,000 amperes.

Therefore, from a safety standpoint, dead-front

configurations which utilize these connectors should

only be used at system locations which have available

fault currents of less than 10,000 rms symmetrical

amperes.

This specification does not address the materials

used for the winding (copper versus aluminum) and it

is assumed that the manufacturer will provide their

standard product with respect to the winding

construction, based on the cost of materials at the

time of order acceptance. No failure data has been

obtained indicating that copper windings have a

longer life than aluminum windings. If copper

windings are specified, the cost increase for three-

phase distribution transformers has recently been

about 15 percent. Do NOT specify winding materials.

***************************************************************************

IEEE C57.12.34, IEEE C57.12.28 and as specified herein. Submit

manufacturer's information for each component, device, insulating fluid, and

accessory provided with the transformer.

2.2.1 Compartments

Provide high- and low-voltage compartments separated by steel isolating

barriers extending the full height and depth of the compartments.

Compartment doors: hinged lift-off type with stop in open position and

three-point latching.

2.2.1.1 High Voltage, Dead-Front

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Current policy is to use oil-immersed fuses in

series with current limiting fuses to achieve better

protection and obtain life cycle cost benefits.

For 15 kV and 25 kV, 200 A bushings, select bushing

wells and bushing well inserts. For 15 kV and 25 kV,

600 A bushings and for 35 kV bushings, select one-

piece bushings.

Do not provide standoff bushings unless this

transformer is the only dead-front transformer on the

base. The Public Works Department normally carries

standoff bushings in their vehicles. Provide

protective caps when providing standoff bushings and

to cover unused bushing well inserts when not

providing surge arresters.

Coordinate lead-in paragraph with bracketed options

below.

Choose minimum high-voltage compartment dimensions

for transformers used in loop feed applications to

accomodate installation of loop feed, feed-through

inserts, and surge arresters.

NOTE: For systems with a fault capability greater

than 10,000 amps, for applications utilizing loop

feed load-break switches, or when the primary cable

size is greater than No. 4/0 AWG, use 600A separable

insulated dead-break connectors.

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Use the following guidelines for specifying

transformers and insulating liquids.

1. On Navy projects use of biodegradable less-

flammable liquid is required.

For other projects, biodegradable less-flammable

liquid and mineral oil are permitted. Previously the

use of mineral oil-filled transformers was

recommended wherever possible. Currently,

biodegradable less-flammable transformer liquids that

improve transformer operating characteristics are

available with little, if any premium cost. This

requirement is supported by UFC 3-600-01, "Fire

Protection Engineering for Facilities", identifies

building and equipment separation distances based on

insulating liquid type. Mineral oil is more

restrictive than less-flammable liquid. For example,

a 1500 kVA transformer containing 600 gallons of

less-flammable liquid requires a building separation

distance of 1.5 meters (5 feet) when the construction

is fire-resistant or non-combustible. An equally

sized mineral oil-filled transformer requires 4.6

meters (15 feet) and 7.6 meters (25 feet) of

separation for fire-resistant and non-combustible

construction, respectively. Do not specify silicone-

filled transformers.

2. Use IEEE C57.12.00, Table 8 - Designation of

voltage ratings of three-phase windings, such as

"4160 V - 480Y / 277 V". Connections must be Delta-

GrdY configuration for three phase systems. Other

system connections require waiver from UFC 3-550-01

criteria.

3. Include bracketed option to display transformer

rating on enclosure when directed by Activity. For

NASA projects only, include 3 inch yellow lettering

bracketed options.

4. Delete last sentence of item g regarding

removable ground strap if transformer secondary

winding is delta type.

PART 2 PRODUCTS

2.1 PRODUCT COORDINATION

Products and materials not considered to be pad-mounted transformers and

related accessories are specified in[ Section 33 71 01 OVERHEAD TRANSMISSION

AND DISTRIBUTION,][ Section 26 20 00 INTERIOR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM,][ and][

Section 33 71 02 UNDERGROUND ELECTRICAL DISTRIBUTION].

2.2 SINGLE-PHASE PAD-MOUNTED TRANSFORMERS (DEAD-FRONT)

***************************************************************************

NOTE: According to IEEE 386, 200 ampere separable

insulated connectors normally used on dead-front pad-

mounted transformers have both a fault closure and a

short-time current rating of 10,000 amperes.

Therefore, from a safety standpoint, dead-front

configurations which utilize these connectors should

only be used at system locations which have available

fault currents of less than 10,000 rms symmetrical

amperes.

Normally use single compartment (clam shell)

transformers. If two-compartment transformers are

required, their use must be approved by the the

technical review authority.

Utilization of 35 kV single-phase transformers is not

a recommended design practice. Therefore, approval

for use is required by the technical review authority

Page 98: ********************************************************** 26 Sections - Pr… · IEEE C57.13 (2016) Requirements for Instrument Transformers IEEE C57.96 (2013) Guide for Loading

and significant changes to this specification would

be required.

This specification does not address the materials

used for the winding (copper versus aluminum) and it

is assumed that the manufacturer will provide their

standard product with respect to the winding

construction, based on the cost of materials at the

time of order acceptance. No failure data has been

obtained indicating that copper windings have a

longer life than aluminum windings. If copper

windings are specified, the cost increase for single-

phase distribution transformers has recently been

about 15 percent. Do NOT specify winding materials.

***************************************************************************

IEEE C57.12.25, IEEE C57.12.28 and as specified herein. Submit

manufacturer's information for each component, device, insulating fluid, and

accessory provided with the transformer.

[a. Single compartment: Provide Type 1 combination high- and low-voltage

compartment, clam shell style, with lockable (having pad-locking

provisions) hinged cover and single-point latching. Type 1 is defined

by IEEE C57.12.25.

][b. Two compartment: Provide high- and low-voltage compartments

separated by steel isolating barriers extending the full height and

depth of the compartments. Compartment doors:

(1) Hinged lift-off type with stop in open position and three-point

latching.

(2) High voltage door fastening accessible only after the low voltage

door has been opened.

]2.2.1.1 High Voltage

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Current policy is to use oil-immersed fuses in

series with current limiting fuses to achieve better

protection and obtain life cycle cost benefits.

For 15 kV and 25 kV, 200 A bushings, select bushing

wells and bushing well inserts.

Use two bushing wells for phase-to-neutral systems

and four bushing wells for phase-to-phase systems.

Coordinate with transformer voltage designations in

paragraph TRANSFORMER. If feed through applications

are required, special transformer compartment sizing

may be necessary.

If feed through inserts are used, then ensure the

enclosure is specified to be wide enough and deep

terminated.

Delete dead-break connectors and load-break switch

handle options except for systems with a fault

capability greater than 10,000 amps or when the

primary cable size is greater than No. 4/0 AWG. This

design requires approval of the technical review

authority.

Do not provide standoff bushings unless this

transformer is the only dead-front transformer on the

Section 26 12 21 Page 18

NOTE: Use the following guidelines for specifying

transformers and insulating liquids.

1. On Navy projects use of biodegradable less-

flammable liquid is required.

For other projects, biodegradable less-flammable

liquid and mineral oil are permitted. Previously the

use of mineral oil-filled transformers was

recommended wherever possible. Currently,

biodegradable less-flammable transformer liquids that

improve transformer operating characteristics are

available with little, if any premium cost. This

requirement is supported by UFC 3-600-01, "Fire

Protection Engineering for Facilities", identifies

building and equipment separation distances based on

insulating liquid type. Mineral oil is more

restrictive than less-flammable liquid. For example,

a 1500 kVA transformer containing 600 gallons of

less-flammable liquid requires a building separation

distance of 1.5 meters (5 feet) when the construction

is fire-resistant or non-combustible. An equally

sized mineral oil-filled transformer requires 4.6

meters (15 feet) and 7.6 meters (25 feet) of

separation for fire-resistant and non-combustible

construction, respectively. Do not specify silicone-

filled transformers.

2. Use IEEE C57.12.00, Table 7, voltage

designations, such as "4160 V - 240/120 V" for

transformers connected phase-phase on the primary

side, or "4160GrdY/2400 V - 240/120 V" for

transformers connected phase-neutral on the primary

side. Coordinate the number of bushing wells (either

two or four depending on phase-to-neutral, or phase-

to-phase systems) with the primary voltage.

3. Tap ratings may vary from those indicated,

especially in lower kVA ratings.

4. Include bracketed option to display transformer

rating on enclosure when directed by Activity. For

NASA projects only, include 3 inch yellow lettering

bracketed options.

2.1.1 Physical and Common Requirements

***************************************************************************

NOTE: This specification is designed for projects

where multiple metering systems will be installed as

part of the same project. It is expected that

different buildings may have different metering

systems depending on the metering system that can be

installed economically for any specific building and

that meets the needs of the facility analysis and

billing system.

This specification has been developed for 60-Hz

applications. Designer must review and provide

additional modifications necessary for 50-Hz use.

Sub-metering (versus single-metering at a facility)

is not specifically addressed and the specification

will require modification to address unique sub-

metering requirements.

If the "Two-Way Automatic Communications System

(TWACS)" is used for communications, this system has

additional wire size and fuse requirements. The use

of TWACS might limit the maximum voltage provided at

each meter. Edit this specification to address these

unique needs.

Class 320 meters are not allowed by this

specification.

Define the configuration that is required to be

initially programmed into each meter. If possible,

define a standard programming profile and identify

any exceptions to that profile.

***************************************************************************

a. Provide metering system components in accordance with the Metering

System Schedule shown [in this specification][on the drawings].

Provide Meter configuration template.

***************************************************************************

NOTE: The bracketed option below allows the

selection of whether to use or replace existing meter

bases.

Meter bases should be inspected if they are to be re-

used. The second bracketed option requires an

assessment of their physical condition before use.

For existing panelboard, switchboard, and switchgear

installations, provide the same style meter. A

direct replacement with a similar configuration can

Page 151: ********************************************************** 26 Sections - Pr… · IEEE C57.13 (2016) Requirements for Instrument Transformers IEEE C57.96 (2013) Guide for Loading

Section 26 27 14.00 20 Page 14

minimize the need for a design change and avoid

clearance issues inside the enclosure.

The designer must have concurrence from the Activity

and should exercise caution if changing an existing

installation to a socket arrangement using a Form 9S

adaptor kit. This can reduce the number of unique

meters styles to maintain for spares, but can also

cost more during the initial installation and can

result in inadequate clearances within the equipment

and the exterior.

***************************************************************************

b. [Replace all existing meter bases. For socket arrangements, use meter

and base form of 9S unless installation-specific limitations require

the use of a different form type. For panelboards, switchboards, and

switchgear, match the existing installation with the new meter base.]

[Existing meter bases can be re-used if they are electrically

functional, in physically good condition, and show no signs of

corrosion on the electrical contacts. If the existing meter base is

usable, the meter base determines meter form factor. If a new meter is

being installed, use meter and base form factor of 9S unless

installation-specific limitations require the use of a different form

type.] [If use of a socket adaptor arrangement has been approved by

the activity, contractor shall verify that all clearances are met and

doors are able to be properly closed.]

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Select the bracketed option below if the meter

will be installed in an enclosure. A stainless steel

enclosure might be necessary for coastal or high

humidity areas.

***************************************************************************

c. [Meter shall have NEMA [3R] [3R stainless steel] enclosure for surface

mounting with bottom or rear penetrations.]

d. Surge withstand capability shall conform to IEEE C37.90.1.

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Modify the color scheme below if the activity

uses a different identification system. This color

scheme is for metering wiring only and does not match

the color coding requirements for power conductors.

Wire labeling is also an acceptable approach to

identification. If wire labeling is selected, modify

the color scheme listed below to identify the label

information for each wire.

***************************************************************************

e. Use #12 SIS (XHHW, or equivalent) wiring with ring lugs for all meter

connections. Color code and mark the conductors [as follows:

***************************************************************************

NOTE: The electricity meters covered by this section

are intended for low voltage applications and should

be capable of receiving input nominal voltages of 120

to 480 volts. This section assumes that the

available low voltage will be used as the meter

supply. Potential transformers are not required.

If new medium voltage applications are planned, then

include potential transformer requirements as part of

the associated switchgear specification. If this

section is applied to an existing installation, then

use the bracketed options below to establish the

potential transformer requirements.

***************************************************************************

2.1.2 Potential Transformer Requirements

a. Meter shall be capable of connection to the service voltage phases and

magnitude being monitored. If the meter is not rated for the service

voltage, provide suitable potential transformers to send an acceptable

voltage to the meter.

b. Voltage input shall be optically isolated to 2500 volts DC from signal

and communications outputs. Components shall meet or exceed IEEE

C37.90.1.

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Fusing is required to provide circuit

protection and to minimize arc flash levels. Include

bracketed option if pull-out type arrangement is

required.

***************************************************************************

c. Provide [a pull-out type fuse block containing] one fuse per phase,

Class RK type, to protect the voltage input to the meter. Size fuses

as recommended by the meter manufacturer. Fusing shall either be

inside the secondary compartment of the transformer or inside the same

enclosure as the CT shorting device.

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Select the following bracketed option if

potential transformers will be used to transform 480

volt inputs to 120 volts.

***************************************************************************

[d. Potential transformers will be used to convert 480 volt inputs to 120

volts for the locations shown on the metering schedule. Potential

transformers shall be rated indoor or outdoor, as required for the

specific application. Voltage rating shall provide 120 volts, wye-

connected, 3 phase, 4 wire, 60 Hz, insulation class, 600 volts.

class of 0.3 at burdens w, x, and y. Thermal rating shall be 500 VA.]

***************************************************************************

NOTE: The following paragraphs are necessary only

for medium voltage applications.

***************************************************************************

[e. The Contractor shall be responsible for determining the actual voltage

ratio of each potential transformer for medium voltage applications.

Transformer shall conform to IEEE C57.13 and the following

requirements.

(1) Type: Dry type, of two-winding construction.

(2) Weather: Outdoor or indoor rated for the application.

(3) Frequency: Nominal 60 Hz.

(4) Accuracy: Plus or minus 0.3 percent at 60 Hz.

f. Potential transformers installed inside switchgear and panels shall be

connected, 3 phase, 4 wire, 60 Hz, insulation class, 600 volts.

Potential transformers BIL shall be a minimum of 10 kV, and have an

insulation class and BIL rating that equals or exceeds the ratings of

the associated switchgear. Potential transformers shall have an

accuracy class of 0.3 at burdens w, x, and y. Thermal rating shall be

500 VA. Potential transformers shall be accessed from the front and

mounted in a metering section.]

2.1.3 Current Transformer Requirements

a. Current transformer shall be installed with a rating as shown in the

schedule.

b. Current transformers shall have an Accuracy Class of 0.3 (with a

maximum error of plus/minus 0.3 percent at 5.0 amperes) when operating

within the specified rating factor.

c. Current transformers shall be solid-core, bracket-mounted for new

installations using ring-tongue lugs for electrical connections.

Current transformers shall be accessible and the associated wiring

shall be installed in an organized and neat workmanship arrangement.

Section 26 27 14.00 20 Page 17

(1) Insulation Class: All 600 volt and below current transformers

shall be rated 10 KV BIL. [Current transformers for 2400 and 4160

volt service shall be rated 25 KV BIL.]

(2) Frequency: Nominal 60 Hz.

(3) Burden: Burden class shall be selected for the load.

(4) Phase Angle Range: 0 to 60 degrees.

e. Meter shall accept current input from standard instrument transformers

(5A secondary current transformers).

f. Current inputs shall have a continuous rating in accordance with IEEE

C57.13.

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Single-ratio current transformers (CTs) are

specified below and are based on a per-meter

application. Dual-ratio or multi-ratio CTs are only

allowed if future requirements are expected to change

the load demand.

This specification will require additional editing if

dual-ratio or multi-ratio CTs are used.

***************************************************************************

g. Provide one single-ratio current transformer for each phase per power

transformer with characteristics listed in the following table.

***************************************************************************

NOTE: This specification uses the CT rating factor

and requires 55 degrees C as the basis for selection.

Many CTs are installed outdoors; relying on the CT 30

degrees C rating is not appropriate for these

installations.

Select the appropriate CT ratio, continuous-thermal-

current rating factor (RF) at 55 degrees C (versus 30

degrees C which was used for previous guidance) and

ANSI Metering Accuracy Class values based on

transformer kVA size and secondary voltage. The

basis for the 55 degrees C value is to allow for CT

heating effects and higher ambient temperatures

during operation.

The rating factor establishes the minimum electrical

current range that will meet the CT accuracy rating.

The CT should meet its accuracy requirement for

measured current between 10 percent of the CT ratio

and the rating factor multiplier applied to the CT

ratio.

Example #1: for a 500 kVA transformer at 208 volts -

select 1200/5, 1.33, 0.3 - B-0.5. For this selection,

the CT should be accurate within its specifications

for an input current between 10 percent to 133

percent of the rating, or 120 to 1,600 amperes. The

transformer full-load current rating is 1,388

amperes.

Example #2: for a 150 kVA transformer at 480 volts -

select 200/5, 2.0, 0.3 - B-0.1. For this selection,

the CT should be accurate within its specifications

for an input current between 10 percent to 200

percent of the rating, or 20 to 400 amperes. The

transformer full-load current rating is 180 amperes.

The table below lists the minimum allowed rating

factor. Some manufacturers might be capable of higher

rating factors.

2.1.6 Installation Methods

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Pad-mounted transformers have proven to be

very reliable over a long life span. Installing one

meter on the outside of the secondary wiring

compartment has become the standard installation for

military facilities resulting in minimal maintenance.

However, to prevent additional compromise of the

transformer enclosure integrity, if more than one

meter is required for a location or service, add a

separate free-standing unistrut frame with each meter

in its own enclosure or use commercial meter

pedestals for each meter.

Meters may be installed on the sides of buildings.

Installing meters inside of a building and behind

locked doors has proven to be a burden for meter

readers in some instances and is not recommended.

***************************************************************************

a. Transformer Mounted ("XFMR" in Metering Systems Schedule). Meter base

shall be located outside on the secondary side of the pad-mounted

transformer.

Page 161: ********************************************************** 26 Sections - Pr… · IEEE C57.13 (2016) Requirements for Instrument Transformers IEEE C57.96 (2013) Guide for Loading

Section 26 27 14.00 20 Page 24

b. Stand Mounted Adjacent to Transformer ("STAND" in Metering Systems

Schedule). Meter base shall be mounted on a structural steel pole

approximately 1.2 meters (4 feet) from the transformer pad. This can

be used for multiple meters associated with a single transformers.

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Provide a drawing to show details for building

mounting and routing conduit and wires. Typical

detail drawings are referenced at the beginning of

this specification.

***************************************************************************

c. Building Mounted ("BLDG" in Metering Systems Schedule). Meter base

shall be mounted on the side of the existing building near the service

entrance.

d. Panel Mounted. ("PNL" in Metering Systems Schedule). Meter shall be

mounted where directed.

e. Commercial meter pedestal ("PED" in Metering Systems Schedule).

2.2 COMMUNICATIONS INTERFACES

***************************************************************************

NOTE: The default metering condition is to provide

two-way communication with an existing DAS, if

installed at the Activity already. If a DAS is not

installed or is outdated (inadequate), then

coordinate with the activity to determine if a new

DAS should be provided as part of the contract. If a

new DAS is determined to be necessary, edit the

requirements below as needed to identify the DAS

requirements.

The communications requirements must be determined

for each location and are not addressed by this

specification. Possible communications options

include:

RS-232

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Total harmonic current distortion (THD) is

usually specified as follows: modules 15-224 kVA: 10

percent; modules above 225 kVA: 5 percent. If UPS

will be supplied from a generator, the generator

capacity must be at least twice the UPS capacity if

THD exceeds 5 percent. Some of the manufacturers can

provide units with the above THD without input

filters while others require optional input filters

to achieve the desired THD. Delete transformer

inrush paragraph if input isolation transformer is

not required. Use 50 Hz for units shipped or

purchased in Europe. Before specifying them, be

certain units having 60 Hz input with 50 Hz output

and units having 50 Hz input with 60 Hz output are

available in the size specified. Be certain that

units having foreign voltages are clearly specified

since they are not standard for U.S. manufactured

products. For transformer sub-cycle inrush,

selecting a lower value like 6 or 4 in lieu of the

range (4 to 8) is better for coordination of UPS

feeder protection but might add some cost and extra

components. If the range is selected than upstream

breaker should have instantaneous current adjustment.

][2.2.2.2 Metal Halide (MH) Light Sources

***************************************************************************

NOTE: Metal halide light sources are available in a

wide variety of configurations and wattages. Only a

few typical examples are shown below. Utilize pulse-

start technology for all wattages as they become

available. They have longer life and better lumen

maintenance. Some are rated for vertical use only,

so be wary of light source orientation. Like other

HID sources, re-strike time is a factor to consider.

PAR envelopes are an efficient choice for lower

wattage applications, but must be specified with beam

type and angle. In most cases, choose light sources

rated for use in an enclosed luminaire. Typically,

choose sources with highest CRI and longest life, and

closest CCT to match LED temperature of no greater

than 4300 degrees K.

***************************************************************************

ANSI/ANSLG C78.43, NEMA ANSLG C78.44, ANSI C78.1381, and NEMA ANSLG C78.380.

Provide type and wattage as indicated in luminaire schedule on project

plans. Open fixtures are prohibited unless provided with a mechanism to

utilize only Type O light sources and prohibit the use of Type E or S light

sources. Light sources shall be specifically suited to operate in the

burning position which they are installed, and shall be compliant with the

most current TCLP test procedure per NEMA C78.LL 3 at the time of

manufacture.
