About this file
This is a Technical Specifications document for Low-Voltage Switchgear (Section 26 23 00) for Tinker Air Force Base, Oklahoma, issued in April 2019.
The specification establishes comprehensive requirements for metal-enclosed low-voltage power circuit breaker switchgear compliant with IEEE C37.20.1 and UL 1558 standards. The switchgear must include voltage ratings, continuous current ratings, and short-circuit current ratings as indicated in project drawings, with UL listing and labeling required. Construction requirements specify compartmentalized vertical sections with insulating barriers (NEMA LI 1, Type GPO-3, minimum 0.25 inch thickness), front-accessible circuit breakers with rear load connections, and enclosures per NEMA ICS 6 specifications. Enclosure materials must use ASTM A240/A240M type 304 or 304L stainless steel or galvanized steel (ASTM A123/A123M, ASTM A653/A653M G90 coating) with light gray paint per ASTM D1535. Bus bars must be copper with silver-plated contacts, insulated phase bus bars rated for 16,000-volt minimum breakdown, and neutral bus rated at 100 percent of main bus continuous current. The switchgear must include electrically-operated drawout, unfused power circuit breakers with motor-charged stored-energy closing mechanisms, electronic trip units with microprocessor-based true RMS sensing, and digital metering with multi-function, power, volt, ammeter, and watthour meter capabilities. Additional requirements include infrared viewing windows for thermal imaging inspection, nameplate data, field-fabricated laminated plastic nameplates, arc flash warning labels, available fault current labels, spare parts (two fuses of each type and size), and comprehensive acceptance testing per NETA ATS standards including visual, mechanical, and electrical inspections, contact-resistance tests, insulation-resistance tests, and primary current injection tests for breaker settings verification.
