Alternating current (AC) motors shall be designed to operate on 60-HZ. All electrical motors shall meet NEMA-MG 1 requirements. Each motor shall have an identification plate to identify the manufacturer, model identification, serial number, voltage, amperage, horsepower, phase, and frequency.

1.3 Bearings. All bearings contained within this machine and the entire system shall be U.S. or Canadian manufactured. If they are not U.S. or Canadian manufactured bearings, the vendor must provide a list of exact U.S. or Canadian made equivalent bearings that can be used for replacement of each bearing within this equipment or system. This requirement is in accordance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS 252.225-7016).

1.4 Electrical System. Electrical components including motors, starters, relays, switches, and wiring shall conform to and be located in accordance with NFPA 79. Electricity available at the installation site is 230 VAC, 3 Phase, 60 Hz. The equipment shall be designed to operate on the available electric utilities. The electrical system shall be complete including any electrical transformer(s) required to modify the existing source voltage to the proper operating voltage of the equipment. A properly rated and fused single disconnect device shall be provided on the machine with a means of lockout. All electrical components shall conform to applicable NEMA ICS 1 standards.

1.5 Energy Isolating Devices. The equipment shall be provided with energy isolation devices (e.g. power switches, safety devices, circuit breakers, valves, etc.) that protect personnel from the release of hazardous energy. Hazardous energy includes electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, gravity, or other energy that could harm employees involved in servicing or maintenance of the equipment. The devices shall be installed as the first energy control device on all major components of the system such that the component can be isolated at the component level. The devices shall be designed and manufactured such that they can be padlocked in the user-selected position (ON or OFF, OPEN or CLOSED) to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized change.

1.6 Electrical Connections. Electrical connections within the equipment shall be complete and shall be made via terminals on the components, terminals, or circuit boards and bussing. Splices between terminations are not permitted. Connections and terminals shall be supported and spaced without the dependence upon the wiring in the components and braced as necessary to assure withstanding the distortion forces associated with available short-circuit currents. Proper identification of wiring, bussing, terminals and circuits for function, polarity, phasing, etc., shall be adhered to throughout the equipment. Identification shall be in the form of wire markers, color coding, permanently engraved plates, and permanent markings on the devices. Adequate spacing shall be maintained throughout to avoid excessive bending of cabling and wiring, to maintain adequate separation and creepage distance between electrical potentials and between these potentials and ground, and to permit ease in disconnecting wiring and cabling during trouble-shooting and repair. In no instance shall clearances and creepage distances be less than those described under NEMA ICS, Part ICS 1-111.

1.7 Grounding. Exposed, non-current carrying metal parts shall be maintained at common, zero ground potential. A grounding stud/lug shall be provided as a means for grounding the equipment. For cord connected equipment, a NEMA type grounding plug which effectively grounds the equipment for the safety of personnel shall be acceptable in lieu of a ground stud or lug on the equipment.

1.8 Electrical Enclosure. Electrical components of the equipment shall be contained in an enclosure(s) of structural and sheet steel. Provisions shall be made for power cable entrance. The enclosure(s) shall be of drip-proof construction and of minimum size consistent with good design practices and ventilation of components.

1.9 Emergency Stop Buttons. The equipment specified herein shall be provided with emergency stop buttons (switches) at the equipment control panel. These stop buttons shall be the mushroom type, shall be colored red with a yellow background, and shall be labeled as such. When activated, the emergency stop buttons shall disconnect all electrical power to the equipment such that all operations or functions will immediately stop or cease.

1.10 Hydraulic Systems. Hydraulic systems shall include filtration, protection from over pressurization, and comply with requirements of ISO 4413. The system shall be complete, including all pumps, valves, piping, cylinders, and pressure controls. Overpressure protection shall be provided to prevent damage to components and fluid conductors. A filter system shall be provided to insure delivery of clean fluid to the system. Where ventilation of the hydraulic unit is necessary for lubrication or hydraulic purposes, tall vents shall be filtered and located in a position that will prevent contamination or loss of lubricant. The hydraulic pump inlet shall be protected with an inlet strainer. Reservoirs used for lubrication or hydraulic fluid, shall have a means of visually determining fluid level, temperature and over pressurization, as well as a drain plug for routine maintenance and cleaning. All reservoirs used as a holding tank, shall be tested and certified to prevent leakage. Lubrication and hydraulic systems having reservoirs located in the bed or base shall have filters mounted outside the bed or base to facilitate maintenance and prevent inadvertent contamination. A positive means of fluid temperature control shall be provided to prevent the system from exceeding 130°F under normal operating conditions.

1.11 Painting. All surfaces shall be painted in conformance with the manufacturer’s standard practices and good workmanship. Painting shall result in a highly wear-resistant finish that guarantees continued protection to surfaces in an indoor environment with a temperature range of 15 to 110 F, up to 100% Non-condensing relative humidity. The manufacturer’s standard color shall be provided. Lead or chromium base paints are prohibited.

1.12 Controls and Instrumentation. Operator controls, instrumentation and indicators shall be mounted convenient to operating personnel. Such devices shall be clearly and legibly marked for function and identification. Controls shall be fitted with suitable handles, pushbuttons, or control knobs, as applicable. Gauges and instruments shall be designed for recalibration. Pressure gauges shall be calibrated in the U.S. system of measurement.

1.13 Safety devices. All machine parts, components, mechanisms, and assemblies furnished on the unit shall comply with all specific requirements of “OSHA Safety and Health Standard (29 CFR 1910), General Industry” that are applicable to the equipment itself.

1.14 Safety signs and labels. Safety signs and labels in accordance with ANSI Z535.4 shall be securely attached to the equipment in visible locations, with any safety precautions to be observed by the operator or maintenance personnel permanently marked on the signs.

1.15 Informational Plates. The following informational plates shall be marked by engraving or photo imaging on wear and corrosion resistant metal and permanently affixed to the equipment.

Identification Plate. The following information shall be securely attached to the equipment on an identification plate: Nomenclature, Contractor’s name, manufacturers name, equipment model number, equipment serial number, electrical utilities (Volts, Full Load Amps, Frequency, and Phases), date of manufacture, contract number and any other pertinent information for identifying the part as a unique component of the system.
