About this file
This file contains detailed technical specifications (Volume 3 of 3) for an Advanced Skills Training Barracks construction project at Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico. The specifications cover electrical systems, specifically Divisions 26-33, and provide comprehensive technical requirements for various building systems including interior and exterior lighting, electrical distribution, seismic protection, solar photovoltaic systems, power system studies, fire protection, and utility infrastructure.
The project involves constructing a new barracks facility with complex electrical and utility systems, including detailed specifications for components like LED lighting, surge protective devices, electrical equipment, cable trays, telecommunications cabling, physical access control systems, and water utility distribution. The specifications outline precise technical requirements for materials, installation methods, testing procedures, quality control, and performance standards across multiple building systems. The document is a certified final design dated 27 May 2025, with a requirement to maintain documentation for 15 years after construction.

Submit reports of the studies along with protective device equipment submittals. Apply Arc Flash Hazard labels to equipment after the studies are approved. Update and resubmit the studies after any changes to the equipment or systems which may affect the study results, and re-apply Arc Flash Hazard labels to equipment after the resubmitted studies are approved. The Government is not responsible for any changes to equipment, device ratings, settings, or additional labor for installation of equipment or devices or labels ordered and/or procured before approval of the study.
3.2.1 Scope of Studies
The scope of the studies must begin at the source bus and extend down to system buses where fault current availability is 10,000 amperes or less (symmetrical) and at most 600 volts for facility-level distribution buses.
The "source bus" is the source of energy for system being analyzed. This may be the energy feed from a utility, the first bus upstream of the work, generators within the work or upstream of the work, or any other source capable of contributing significant energy into the system being analyzed.
In the systems model for the studies, incorporate all existing and new equipment within the scope of the studies. Incorporate any additional
SECTION 26 05 73 Page 3 sources or load equipment necessary to accurately model the system's performance.
3.2.2 Determination of Facts

3.2.4 Load Flow Study
Perform the load flow study in accordance with IEEE 3002.2 to identify initital steady-state conditions for the fault current study. For each operating scenario, provide load flow results on the diagram or in the report. Show or describe the loading factors and assumptions used in each operating mode.
3.2.5 Fault Current Study

For each location, show in tabular form on the diagram or in the report the maximum and minimum available fault currents of all modes of operation for that location.
Where the available fault current at the source bus is not available, describe how the fault contribution from the source bus was determined and why this method is reasonable for the study.
3.2.6 System Coordination Study
Use the results of the load flow study and fault current study. For normal modes of operation, demonstrate that selectivity has been obtained between the devices within the scope of the project. Demonstrate the equipment, machines, and conductors are protected from damage from overloads and fault conditions. Include a description of the coordination of the protective devices in this project. Provide a written narrative describing which devices may operate in the event of a fault at each bus;

coordination between upstream and downstream devices; and relay settings.
Provide recommendations to improve or enhance system reliability, and detail where such changes would involve additions or modifications to the contract and cost damages (addition or reduction). Provide composite coordination plots on a log-log scale. Where recommendations are provided to improve or enhance system reliability, provide separate coordination plots on log-log scale showing the system coordination before and after the implementation of the recommendations. Where coordination has been adjusted to lower arc flash values, include a discussion of the change and the impact on the system within the report.
3.2.7 Arc Flash Hazard Study
Perform the arc flash hazard study in accordance with IEEE 1584.1 .
Utilize the data from the fault current study to determine the worst case incident energy per IEEE 1584 and OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269 Appendix E. Use identified modes of operation to determine the worst case arc flash energy. If not included in another study, include a description of the devices and device settings for the operating modes that provided the highest arc flash energy. The use of a "maintenance switch" to temporarily reduce the Arc Flash incident energy for maintenance work is acceptable. Where the adjusting the coordination of devices to obtain lower arc flash values, include a discussion of the change and the impact on the system within the report. Where the arc flash energies exceed 8 cal/cm 2 provide recommendations to reduce the arc flash energy to 4 cal/cm 2.
