002-PP & EP-003-PP

DS-LG: Drawings EP-002-PP & EP-003-PP show DS-LG as a single purpose docking station mounted ground level in the loading dock with male camlocks which would be for temp gen only. The temp connection going into DS-LG is shown as temporary cable with female camlocks for “Temporary generator or portable load bank”, however, with a single purpose unit both temp gen and load bank connections are not available. In order to achieve both, the docking station needs to have both male and female camlock connections and needs to be rated for dual purpose use. Spec 260500 section 2.12 also points to a single purpose temp gen docking station as well. Please clarify if this docking station is to be single or dual purpose.

Docking station DS-LG is to be single purpose docking station with breaker. Refer to added detail #4 on sheet EP502PP for diagram showing how maintenance temporary connections are to be made to allow for connection to temporary generator or portable load bank.

002-PP & EP-003-PP

DS-RG: Drawings EP-002-PP & EP-003-PP show DS-RG as a single purpose docking station mounted on the roof being fed from DS-LG in the loading dock. DS-LG and DS- RG appear to be KK interlocked together per the drawings as well which will not work considering the interlocks prevent the (2) units from being used at the same time. The notes on EP-002-PP indicate camlock cable connections between DS-RG, DS-G1, DS- G2, & MTS-GD for load bank connection, while also specifying camlock cable connections for temp generator connection between DS-RG & MTS-GD. Spec 260500 specifies a TryStar GDS-2 for this unit, however, a TryStar GDS-2 is single purpose for temporary generator connection only. Please clarify if DS-RG is to be single or dual purpose. Per code, the docking station cannot be mounted on the roof and is required to be mounted ground level to comply with 700.3(F). Using temporary cable connections on the roof to daisy chain the docking stations is not recommended. It is also not recommended to use female-female or male-male cables as that is a safety hazard. The current design should be revised. Please clarify what accessories need to be provided. Spec 260500 section 2.13, K specifies every available accessory, but TryStar can only fit 8 accessories max. If this is to be single purpose for load bank only, a load dump receptacle is the only accessory needed. If dual purpose, we recommend A, C, D, & Q as standard items.

Kirkkey interlock shall be deleted from DS-LG & DS-

RG.

Docking station DS-RG is to be single purpose docking station. Refer to added detail #4 on sheet EP502PP for diagram showing how maintenance temporary connections are to be made to allow for connection to temporary generator or portable load bank.

NEC section 700.3(f) makes no distinction that a docking station needs to be ground level. This code only specifies how cables cannot be routed through windows, door, or similar openings. A rooftop docking station would meet code.

Spec will be updated to require the following accessories with the following accessories for DS-

DS-G1 & DS-G2: Drawings EP-002-PP & EP-003-PP show DS-G1 & DS-G2 feeding a pull box tied to the permanent generator feeds, while being fed via temporary cabling from DS-RG for “load bank testing”. The notes for DS-G1 & DS-G2 specify KK interlocking between the docking stations and the perm gen breakers, and the spec calls out a TryStar GDS-2 while also calling for it to be dual purpose showing a modified TryStar GDS-2 one-line. TryStar GDS-2 units are single purpose for temp gen only so the modified one-line is incorrect. Please clarify/confirm if DS-G1 & DS-G2 need to be single or dual purpose. If this is single purpose for load bank only, having the docking stations KK interlocked to the perm gen breakers will not allow you to load bank the units as you will be locking the perm gen breaker in the open position in order to use the docking station. Please clarify what accessories need to be provided. Spec 260500 section 2.14, K specifies every available accessory, but TryStar can only fit 8 accessories max. If these are to be single purpose for load bank only, load dump is the only accessory needed. If dual purpose, we recommend A, C, D & Q as standard items.

Per code, the docking stations cannot be mounted on the roof and are required to be mounted ground level to comply with 700.3(F). Using temporary cable connections on the roof to daisy chain the docking stations is not recommended. The current design should be revised.

Specification sections 2.13 & 2.14 have the incorrect name for the Trystar product. The model numbers within these sections do accurately indicate single purpose docking stations. DS-G1 & DS-G2 need to be single purpose. Refer to added detail #4 on sheet EP502PP for diagram showing how maintenance temporary connections are to be made to allow for connection to temporary generator or portable load bank.

Kirkkey interlock between perm gen breakers and DS- G1/DS-G2 shall be deleted.

– is it simply a desired starting KVA value? Repeat, See Response to #12

Typical base rail frame for generator enclosures skid is not designed for torsional loads that would be imposed by the side mounted vibration spring isolators. The detail #4 on EP501 PP is not typical of generator enclosure frame mounting connections. Please verify with BOD factory that enclosure frame can support the side mounted vibration isolators with height saving brackets?

Per spec section 263200 2.2.B.3, the side mounted spring isolators are to be installed on the structural steel sub-base of the generator (i.e. enclosure frame). The generator manufacturer shall be responsible for installing the brackets/isolators in the factory and ensuring their frame is designed for this installation.
