About this file

This document is a technical specification section for interior electrical distribution systems at Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, dated April 2019.

The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for electrical materials, equipment, and installation practices. Key product requirements include rigid and nonmetallic conduit, busway systems with copper buses, cable trays (basket, trough, ladder, and channel types), surface raceways, outlet boxes, panelboards with circuit breakers, transformers (dry-type, self-cooled, ventilated), motors, motor controllers, enclosed circuit breakers, fuses, receptacles, switches, and telecommunications system components. All materials must comply with UL standards where established and NFPA 70 requirements. The specification mandates stranded copper conductors with specific color coding: black/red/blue for 208/120V three-phase; brown/orange/yellow for 480/277V three-phase; and green for grounding, white for neutral. Transformers rated 15 kVA and above require 220-degree Celsius insulation systems with 115-degree Celsius temperature rise. Panelboards must have circuit breaker-equipped designs with specific breaker placement matching indicated schedules, isolated neutral buses, and separate ground buses. Installation requirements specify rigid steel conduit as the primary wiring method, with minimum 1/2-inch diameter for low-voltage circuits, proper support intervals, grounding specifications not exceeding 5 ohms resistance, and telecommunications grounding per TIA-607 standards. The specification includes detailed field quality control testing procedures for 600-volt wiring, transformers, ground-fault receptacles, and grounding systems, with test results required in writing before equipment energization.
