About this file
This document is an electrical riser diagram and power plan for the Ames Laboratory Metals Development Room 150, dated March 27, 2025. The drawing details a new Unit Substation #3 with a 1500kVA transformer, configured for 4160 Delta to 480Y/277V conversion, featuring a 2000A bus rating and Square D switchgear. The electrical system includes specific technical specifications such as NEMA 1 enclosure, infrared viewing windows, physical interlocks for safety, and metering capabilities with a Square D METSEPM5563RD meter and future remote monitoring connection.
The load calculation table shows equipment power requirements, with six circuit breakers serving various plasma arc and equipment power supplies. The total connected load is 1,716 kVA, with equipment loads ranging from 186,840 VA to 538,100 VA. The switchgear is located in Room 241C, supplied from Transformer T-3, with a 65kA short circuit current rating (SCCR) and configured for 3-phase, 4-wire wye system with solid grounding. The drawing also includes provisions for future expansion sections and detailed mounting and wiring specifications.
