SUMMARY OF CHANGES

This document is substantially revised and must be completely reviewed. This revision of

AFI 32-1062 also replaces AFI 32-1063, Electrical Power Systems. AF Form 487, Generator

Operating Log (Inspection and Testing), has been updated and must be used for all generators installed after the publication date of this AFI. Generator authorization, classification, and validation have been consolidated in this revision. In accordance with the Director of Civil

Engineers’ memorandum for “Authorization and Size Validation of Emergency and Standby

Generators,” dated 1 April 2013, existing facilities with standby generators (RPIE or EAID) must be vetted through the generator authorization and classification process. New and replacement generators require Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC) authorization, classification, and design approval (paragraph 1.1). Authorization and classification must be obtained in advance of design approval (paragraph 6.1). Revalidation of facilities authorized standby generators must be conducted every five years (paragraphs 1.4.6, 9.1). A new authorization request is required for facilities with relevant changes to mission requirements or modifications to the electrical system (paragraph 9.1). Generator authorizations will be assigned by individual facility. Facilities with multiple generators must have a single authorization for all standby generators attached to the facility (paragraph 2.2).

Document and account for all RPIE generators awaiting installation in the appropriate work order documents. For excess generators and associated equipment (i.e., automatic transfer switches), request

MAJCOM review and disposition instructions before removing the generator and associated equipment from a RPIE facility. After removing a generator, account for it on Department of

Defense (DD) Form 1149, Requisition and Invoice/Shipping Document, if the generator is shipped to another base or to the CEMIRT. If the generator is turned in to the Defense

Reutilization and Marketing Office, account for it on DD Form 1348-1A, Issue

Release/Receipt Document.

4.2. EAID Generators. (T-1) EAID generators are listed in Allowance Standard (AS), requisitioned from Warner Robins Air Force Life Cycle Management Center

(AFLCMC/WNZEC), 235 Byron Street (Bldg 300-West Wing, Bay D), Robins AFB, GA

31098-1647, DSN 472-1640, Comm (478) 222-1640, and accounted for by Base Supply and

AFLCMC/WNZEC. EAID units must be reclassified as RPIE, and coordinated with the Item

Manager, AFLCMC/WNZEC when they no longer meet the definition for an EAID or turned in to Base Supply.

4.3. AFLCMC/WNZEC. (T-1) Report excess EAID generators to AFLCMC/WNZEC.

Any RPIE or commercial EAID generators that are no longer required or are inoperable must be identified to the MAJCOM for review and disposition coordination. Disposal of mobile electric power (MEP) EAID generators must be first coordinated with the EAID Item

Manager at AFLCMC/WNZEC. If generators are not required or needed by

AFLCMC/WNZEC, they must be disposed of in the same manner as RPIE and commercial

EAID generators.

5. DOCUMENTATION AND RECORDS.

5.1. Operations, maintenance, repair, and replacement of RPIE and EAID generators must be documented on the following forms and will become part of the shop record only: (T-1)

5.1.5. Waivers or environmental permits with restrictions, if any.

6. GENERATOR DESIGN AND INSTALLATION, AND EPA REQUIREMENTS.

6.1. RPIE Generator Authorizations and Designs. (T-1) RPIE generator authorizations and design approvals must be obtained from AFCEC/CO or its designee. Submit the generator authorization request during project initiation (programming) and submit the design approval request at the 65 percent design milestone. If electrical design changes are made after the 65 percent design submittal, another design approval request is required.

AFI32-1062 15 JANUARY 2015 11

Requests must be in accordance with the templates provided in Attachments 2 and 3, or downloaded from the Air Force Portal, AFCEC Electrical Engineering site. Authorization and approval memos become part of the generator permanent record.

6.2. EAID Generator Authorizations. (T-1) EAID generator authorizations must be approved in writing by AFCEC/CO or its designee. Submit generator authorization requests during project initiation (programming); design approvals are not required. Requests must be submitted in accordance with the template provided in Attachment 2, or downloaded from the Air Force Portal AFCEC Electrical Engineering site. The approval memo becomes part of the generator permanent record.

6.3. Partial Facility Generator Power. (T-1)When only a portion of a facility is authorized generator power, that portion of the facility must be serviced by a separate subpanel fed from the generator and switched by either an MTS or ATS, depending on the mission of the facility. A whole-building generator may be requested only when the authorized mission-essential load is greater than 70 percent of the total facility load. For existing facilities without segregated mission-essential subpanels, size replacement generators and transfer switches only for the authorized mission-essential load, and develop a plan for load-shedding all non-essential loads.

6.4. Generator Sizing. (T-1) Existing, new, or replacement EAID or RPIE generator systems must be sized to achieve greater than 50 percent rated load, and capable of supporting measured or calculated, starting, and step load as defined by a qualified, licensed electrical design engineer or the senior electrical engineer in the unit for in-house designed projects. For existing generator replacements, load data supporting generator selection must be provided; acceptable forms of support data would include the monthly load data recorded on AF Form 487, for the past 12 months; meter data showing average load and peak over a three-day period during a period of full operation; or accurate facility one-lines with all associated panel schedules, equipment schedules, and load calculations.

6.5. Load Banks. (T1) For generator installations sized 250 kW and higher, the design must include provision for portable load bank/generator connection at the ATS or distribution equipment (not at the generator). The connection must be sized for the generator kW rating.

Reference UFC 3-540-01, Engine-Driven Generator Systems for Backup Power

Applications, for additional guidance.

6.6. Mission Uninterruptable Power Supplies (UPS). (T-1) Mission UPSs installed to provide power conditioning and transitional backup power until RPIE generators assume the load must be configured to minimize UPS battery charging during generator operation and disabled when possible. Size the generator for actual UPS configuration and not based on maximum UPS capacity.

6.7. ATS or MTS.

6.7.2. Solid neutral MTSs are allowed for connecting EAID generators only when the

EAID generator neutral-ground connection (main bonding jumper) is properly bonded or removed per NEC Article 250. (T-1)

12 AFI32-1062 15 JANUARY 2015

6.8. Medical Facility Generators. Design of medical military facility generator systems must comply with UFC 4-510-01. (T-0)

6.9. Standby Generators for Hangar Door Secondary Operation. (T-1) This is not usually authorized and must be strongly justified when a secondary method cannot be installed. Existing and new backup generator installations for hangar door systems require

AFCEC/CO approval, including instances where the generator is supplied as part of the hangar door installation. If approved, connections must be located within four (4) feet of the hangar floor below the hangar door motor.

6.10. Generator Connections. When a permanently installed generator is not authorized, manual connection points may be locally authorized by the BCE. For additional connection guidance, reference ETL 10-7.

6.11. Automatic Transfer Switches. Transfer switches must have either an internal or external bypass capability. (T-1)

6.12. Critical Operations Power Systems (COPS). (T-1) Power systems for missions critical to national security are required to comply with NEC Article 708, and must be pre-approved by AFCEC/CO. Submit COPS generator classification approval requests to

AFCEC/CO through the appropriate MAJCOM Senior Engineer.

6.13. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Requirements. Federal regulatory air quality requirements for generator engines must be complied with; however, they vary greatly from engine to engine, and are frequently amended. (T-1) Requirements address emissions limits, operating limits, management practices, maintenance requirements, performance testing, record keeping, and reporting. Specific requirements differ according to whether the engine is new or existing; whether the engine is located at an area source or major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions; and whether the engine is a compression ignition or a spark ignition engine. Several regulations (see paragraphs 6.13.1 through 6.13.2) have expanded the number and type of stationary RICE that must comply with federal requirements. (T-0)

6.13.1. Stationary Generators. The BCE shall ensure generators meet the following regulations: (T-0)

6.13.1.1. 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, National Emission Standard for Hazardous

Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for RICE - "the RICE rule".

6.13.1.2. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) -

Standards of Performance for Stationary SI Internal Combustion Engines – "the

Spark Ignition NSPS rule".

6.13.1.3. 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII, Standards of Performance for Stationary CI

Internal Combustion Engines – "the Compression Ignition NSPS rule".

6.13.2. Portable Generators. The BCE shall ensure generators meet 40 CFR PART 89, Control of Emissions from New and In-Use Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines. (T-

0)

AFI32-1062 15 JANUARY 2015 13

7. RPIE GENERATOR AND ATS TESTING AND INSPECTIONS. (T-1 except as otherwise noted)

7.1. Accomplish inspections and full-system tests (generator, ATS with typical mission-essential facility load) on RPIE generators semiannually. Test generators under facility load.

7.2. The using organization may not deny the BCE permission to accomplish a full-system test. The BCE will make every effort to accommodate the user’s mission operations within the testing month, but in no case will the time since the last full-system test exceed six months. (Exception: A semiannual full-system functional test with facility loads may be denied one time, if approved in writing by the MAJCOM/CV, resulting in an automatic three-month extension that will extend the maximum time between full-system tests to nine months.) If the MAJCOM/CV directs that a full-system test not be performed, the BCE must advise the Installation Commander that a second postponement will result in decertification and removal of the RPIE generator from the facility. The BCE will copy the MAJCOM

Senior Engineer and AFCEC/CO on this action. Correspondence will be filed in the generator folder. The MAJCOM/CV may not delegate this authority.

8. REPORTING RPIE GENERATORS. (T-1 except as otherwise noted)

8.1. If functional load testing indicates the generator is loaded less than 30 percent of rated capacity over a 12-month period, BCEs will take actions described in paragraphs 8.1.1 through 8.1.1.2.

8.1.1. Compile a list of generators that do not meet the required 30 percent loading for facility loads over a 12-month period. Categorize and certify the generators as

“Replacement Eligible,” “Replace by Attrition” or “Replacement Not Feasible” (See

Attachment 1, Terms) and document the category in a memo and file it with the generator records.

8.1.1.1. RPIE generators used to support large in-rush currents may be sized for starting current. These generators may be excluded from paragraph 8.1.1.

8.1.1.2. RPIE generators for fire pumps and RPIE generators rated 25 kW and lower are not required to comply with paragraph 8.1.1.

8.2. Any generator installation (new or replacement) and generator removal or relocation requires AFCEC/CZ coordination to ensure EPA clean air compliance regulations are met.

8.3. Consult with AFCEC/CZ when an EPA-permitted generator is removed from the base;

that generator must be removed from the Clean Air Act Title V air permit. Additionally, because the permit requires an accurate list of active permitted generators on base, the BCE must check with AFCEC/CZ to determine if the generator size is small enough to be excluded from the permit.

8.4. By 1 October each year, MAJCOM Senior Engineers will review base generator inventory reports and provide AFCEC/COM CEMIRT a list of “Replacement Eligible” generators that cannot be redistributed within their command.

9. FIVE-YEAR REVALIDATION OF GENERATOR AUTHORIZATIONS. (T-1)

9.1. Every five years by 1 August of the reporting year, BCEs must revalidate through the

MAJCOM Senior Engineer the generator authorization memorandum for changes to mission

14 AFI32-1062 15 JANUARY 2015

or modifications to the authorized electrical system. MAJCOM Senior Engineers will coordinate with AFCEC/CO for reauthorization or extension of the existing generator authorization.

9.2. AFCEC/COSM must be notified through the MAJCOM Senior Engineer when a generator authorization is no longer required.

9.3. The BCE will prepare a plan for all generators that do not have an AFCEC authorization and are available for relocation or disposition. The plan will be included as a part of the revalidation process.

10. PRIME GENERATOR REQUIREMENTS. (T-1)

10.1. Generators used for prime power must be authorized by AFCEC/CO. Fuel and configuration requirements for standby generators do not apply to prime power generator installations.

11. POWER CONDITIONING AND CONTINUATION INTERFACING EQUIPMENT

(PCCIE). (T-1)

11.1. PCCIE, which typically includes UPSs, is classified as equipment and must be owned by the mission and not the BCE. For guidance on acquisition and maintenance of UPS equipment, contact the PCCIE Product Group Manager, 500 CBSS/GBLD, Building 1207-N, 6029 Wardleigh Road, Hill AFB, UT 84056-5838.

Terms

Classification—Backup generators may be Real Property Installed Equipment (RPIE) or

Equipment Authorized Inventory Data (EAID) portable units. RPIE generators support mission-critical functions where delayed power restoration is unacceptable. RPIE generators may be approved for missions that require immediate power restoration, uninterrupted power, or support to emergency systems defined in NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 700. EAID generators support mission-critical or infrastructure-critical functions where delayed power restoration is acceptable.

Compression Ignition Engine (Diesel Engine)—A RICE that is not a spark ignition engine.

Compression ignition engine (diesel engine) is an internal combustion engine that uses the heat of compression to initiate ignition and burn the fuel that has been injected into the combustion chamber.

Continuous Power (International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Engine

Classification)— Power that a generator can continuously deliver for an unlimited number of hours per year while following the manufacturer's stated maintenance intervals. Load rating is continuous or nonvarying. Normally, a generator can operate at 110 percent of this rating for a limited period, usually 1 hour, with or without interruption, within a 12-hour period of operation.

However, some generators do not offer overload capability and designers have to specify it if required.

Emergency Systems—NEC 700 life safety (e.g., hospitals), not mission-critical functions.

Portable Generator—Any generator that is used in a portable (or transportable) application in which the engine will not stay at a single location for a full year or more. Legally considered

“NonRoad” RICE engines under 40 CFR 89. By definition no RIPE generator is a “portable generator” and nearly all EAID generators are “portable generators”. However, any EIAD generator remaining in a single location for at least a full year is legally reclassified and a

“stationary generator.”

Prime Power—Generators rated for continuous operation. Generator may considered prime when utility source is not available or unreliable. Generators designed to operate in parallel with the utility are also considered to be prime power.

Qualified Person—One who has skills and knowledge related to the construction and operation of the electrical equipment and installations and has received safety training on the hazards involved. Supervisors will set additional criteria as well as determine and document where each person within his control is qualified.

AFI32-1062 15 JANUARY 2015 19

Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engine (RICE)—Means any reciprocating internal combustion engine which uses reciprocating motion to convert heat energy into mechanical work and which is not mobile. Stationary RICE differs from mobile RICE in that stationary RICE is not a non-road engine as defined at 40 CFR 1068.30, and is not used to propel a motor vehicle or a vehicle used solely for competition.

Semiannually:—Every six months.

Spark Ignition Engine (Gasoline or Natural Gas Engine)—A RICE with a spark plug (or other sparking device) and with operating characteristics significantly similar to the theoretical

Otto combustion cycle. Spark ignition engines usually use a throttle to regulate intake air flow to control power during normal operation. Dual-fuel engines in which a liquid fuel (typically diesel fuel) is used for CI and gaseous fuel (typically natural gas) is used as the primary fuel at an annual average ratio of less than 2 parts diesel fuel to 100 parts total fuel on an energy equivalent basis are spark ignition engines.

Standby Power—Alternate power source that is available for through either automatic or manual operation. Standby power may be real property or equipment based on HQ AFCEC authorization.

Stationary Generator—Any generator that is used either in a fixed application or in a portable

(or transportable) application in which the engine will stay at a single location for at least a full year. Legally considered “stationary RICE” engines under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, 40

CFR Part 60 Subpart JJJJ, and 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII. By definition, all RPIE generators are “stationary generators”; however, if an EAID generator remains in one location for one year of more it is also legally considered a “stationary generator.”

Switchgear—An indoor or outdoor metal structure containing electrical switching and interrupting equipment with buses and connections and associated control, instrumentation, metering, protective, and regulating devices. The associated devices are in separate grounded metal compartments from the switching and interrupting equipment.

UPS—Uninterruptable power supply purchased with funds other than 3400 (Operations and

Maintenance Appropriations). Owned by a mission, not the BCE. Classified as equipment, not

RPIE. Meets NEC (NFPA 70-2011) definition as “...used to provide alternating current power to a load for some specified period of time in the event of power failure.”
