| | MARSHAL, WITH THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | |
| | 1) THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OR PRODUCT SUBMITTALS OF |
| | THE GENERATOR TYPE NOR FUEL SUPPLY. |
| | |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE THE GENERATOR SPECIFICATION SHEETS AND |
| | FUEL SUPPLY. |
| | |
| | |
| | 2) THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF WHAT CALSSIFICATION, |
| | TYPE NOR LEVEL PER NFPA 110, EMERGENCY AND STANDBY |
| | POWER SYSTEMS |
| | |
| | CHAPTER 4 CLASSIFICATION OF EMERGENCY POWER SUPPLY |
| | SYSTEMS (EPSSS) |
| | 4.1* GENERAL. THE EPSS SHALL PROVIDE A SOURCE OF |
| | ELECTRICAL |
| | POWER OF REQUIRED CAPACITY, RELIABILITY, AND QUALITY TO |
| | LOADS FOR |
| | A LENGTH OF TIME AS SPECIFIED IN TABLE 4.1(A) AND |
| | WITHIN A SPECIFIED |
| | TIME FOLLOWING LOSS OR FAILURE OF THE NORMAL POWER |
| | SUPPLY |
| | AS SPECIFIED IN TABLE 4.1(B). |
| | |
| | 4.2* CLASS. THE CLASS DEFINES THE MINIMUM TIME, IN |
| | HOURS, FOR |
| | WHICH THE EPSS IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE AT ITS RATED LOAD |
| | WITHOUT |
| | BEING REFUELED OR RECHARGED. [SEE TABLE 4.1(A).] |
| | 4.3 TYPE. THE TYPE DEFINES THE MAXIMUM TIME, IN |
| | SECONDS, |
| | THAT THE EPSS WILL PERMIT THE LOAD TERMINALS OF THE |
| | TRANSFER |
| | SWITCH TO BE WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE ELECTRICAL POWER. TABLE |
| | 4.1(B) |
| | PROVIDES THE TYPES DEFINED BY THIS STANDARD. |
| | 4.4* LEVEL. THIS STANDARD RECOGNIZES TWO LEVELS OF |
| | EQUIPMENT |
| | INSTALLATION, PERFORMANCE, AND MAINTENANCE. |
| | 4.4.1* LEVEL 1 SYSTEMS SHALL BE INSTALLED WHERE FAILURE |
| | OF THE |
| | EQUIPMENT TO PERFORM COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF HUMAN LIFE |
| | OR |
| | SERIOUS INJURIES. |
| | 4.4.2* LEVEL 2 SYSTEMS SHALL BE INSTALLED WHERE FAILURE |
| | OF THE |
| | EPSS TO PERFORM IS LESS CRITICAL TO HUMAN LIFE AND |
| | SAFETY. |
| | 4.4.3 ALL EQUIPMENT SHALL BE PERMANENTLY INSTALLED. |
| | 4.4.4* LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 SYSTEMS SHALL ENSURE THAT |
| | ALL LOADS |
| | SERVED BY THE EPSS ARE SUPPLIED WITH ALTERNATE POWER |
| | THAT |
| | MEETS ALL THE FOLLOWING CRITERIA: |
| | (1) OF A QUALITY WITHIN THE OPERATING LIMITS OF THE |
| | LOAD |
| | (2) FOR A DURATION SPECIFIED FOR THE CLASS AS DEFINED |
| | IN TABLE |
| | 4.1(A) |
| | (3) WITHIN THE TIME SPECIFIED FOR THE TYPE AS DEFINED |
| | IN TABLE |
| | 4.1(B) |
| | |
| | PLEASE REVIEW AND PROVIDE DETAILS. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3) THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | 7.10 EXHAUST SYSTEM. |
| | 7.10.1 THE EXHAUST SYSTEM EQUIPMENT AND INSTALLATION, |
| | INCLUDING |
| | PIPING, MUFFLER, AND RELATED ACCESSORIES, SHALL BE IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH NFPA37, STANDARD FOR THE INSTALLATION |
| | AND USE OF |
| | STATIONARY COMBUSTION ENGINES AND GAS TURBINES, AND |
| | OTHER APPLICABLE |
| | STANDARDS. |
| | 7.10.2 EXHAUST SYSTEM INSTALLATION SHALL BE GASTIGHT TO |
| | PREVENT |
| | EXHAUST GAS FUMES FROM ENTERING INHABITED ROOMS OR |
| | BUILDINGS |
| | AND TERMINATE IN SUCH A MANNER THAT TOXIC FUMES CANNOT |
| | REENTER A BUILDING OR STRUCTURE, PARTICULARLY THROUGH |
| | WINDOWS, |
| | AIR VENTILATION INLETS, OR THE ENGINE AIR-INTAKE |
| | SYSTEM. |
| | 7.10.3* EXHAUST PIPING SHALL BE CONNECTED TO THE PRIME |
| | MOVER |
| | BY MEANS OF A FLEXIBLE CONNECTOR AND SHALL BE |
| | INDEPENDENTLY |
| | SUPPORTED THEREAFTER SO THAT NO DAMAGING WEIGHT OR |
| | STRESS IS |
| | APPLIED TO THE ENGINE EXHAUST MANIFOLD OR TURBOCHARGER. |
| | |
| | PLEASE REVIEW AND PROVIDE DETAILS |
| | |
| | |
| | 4) THE AREA FOR THE GENERATOR APPEARS TO OUTSIDE THE |
| | STRUCTURE IN AN ENCLOSURE. |
| | |
| | PLEASE CONFIRM THE FOUNDATION IS NOT SEPARATE FROM THE |
| | MAIN BUILDING SLAB. IF NOT, PLEASE PROVIDE SLAB |
| | DETAILS. |
| | |
| | 7.2.2 OUTDOOR EPS INSTALLATIONS. |
| | 7.2.2.1 THE EPS SHALL BE INSTALLED IN A SUITABLE |
| | ENCLOSURE LOCATED |
| | OUTSIDE THE BUILDING AND CAPABLE OF RESISTING THE |
| | ENTRANCE |
| | OF SNOW OR RAIN AT A MAXIMUM WIND VELOCITY AS REQUIRED |
| | BY LOCAL BUILDING CODES. |
| | 7.2.2.2 EPSS EQUIPMENT SHALL BE PERMITTED TO BE |
| | INSTALLED IN |
| | THE EPS ENCLOSURE. |
