About this file
This document is a technical specification section for electrical requirements for the Relay Ground Station-South (RGS-S) project at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado. The specification provides comprehensive details for electrical system design, installation, and testing, covering aspects such as power distribution, lighting, grounding, cable installation, transformers, generators, and equipment requirements.
Key technical requirements include providing a 12.47KV to 480V three-phase pad mounted service transformer, establishing an N+1 generator system with three 500kW generators, implementing a comprehensive grounding system, and designing interior and exterior lighting systems using LED fixtures. The project involves multiple facility types including site facilities electrical and communications shelters, radomes, and various electrical distribution panels. The specification emphasizes compliance with multiple standards from organizations like NFPA, IEEE, and UFC, and requires detailed testing, commissioning, and documentation of all electrical systems and components.

1.2 SCOPE OF WORK
This project will include all design, calculations, etc., for all systems required to accommodate RGS-S project at Schriever Space Force Base in Colorado. See Specification Section 01 81 00 for a description of the facility, functional requirements, and overall scope of work under this contract.
Select electrical characteristics of the power system to provide a safe, efficient, and economical distribution of power, based upon the size and types of loads to be served. Use distribution and utilization voltages of the highest level that is practical for the load to be served.
The effect of nonlinear loads such as computers and other electronic devices shall be considered and accommodated as necessary. These loads generate harmonics, which can overload conventionally sized conductors or equipment and thereby cause safety hazards and premature failures.
Circuits shall be equipped with a separate neutral conductor not shared with other circuits. Panelboards and any dry-type transformers shall be rated accordingly.
All associated references listed in Paragraph 1.1 REFERENCES are required to be included in the design and construction of the building.
The Designer shall edit the applicable UFGS specifications sections and submit them as a part of the design submittal specification.
1.2.1 Cybersecurity
Provide cybersecurity in accordance with specification 01 86 25 CYBERSECURITY FOR FACILITY RELATED CONTROL SYSTEMS for all systems that meet the definition of an industrial control system (ICS), SCADA, or facility related control system (FRCS).
1.2.2 Exterior Distribution
Power will be routed from E-House in new underground conduit to [*Am-4]a new manhole 100A and new conduit will connect to[**Am-4] an existing
SECTION 01 86 26 Page 15Am #0004
[*Am-4]a new manhole 100A and new conduit will connect to[**Am-4] manhole infrastructure [*Am-4]which starts at M-101[**Am-4]. The [*Am-4]existing[**Am-4] manhole infrastructure will be utilized from M-101 to M-110. New conduit will be connected from [*Am-4]M-111[**Am-4] to an existing manhole M-111B.
