(iv) The average circuit length, per circuit is 20 meters.

(v) The 13 plus 7 new circuits shall terminate on new, IEC 60309 compliant, straight, female, 230V, 30A, industrial socket outlets (which the contractor will provide, connect, and commission).

(vi) The contractor will label these new socket outlets to reflect the circuit breaker number and UPS section, it is fed from.

(vii) The contractor will assist the local SITA staff to connect the Network equipment to the new socket outlets.

(viii) UPS section #1 has sufficient spare 30A circuit breakers, which the contractor will use as supply points to the 13 new circuits.

(ix) UPS section #2 only has 5 spare circuit breakers, which the contractor will use as supply points to 5 new circuits.

(x) The contractor will supply, install, connect, and commission 2 new 1phase, 30A, circuit breakers in UPS section #2 as supply points to 2 new circuits. The new circuit breakers’ kA fault level rating will be the same as the current 30A circuit breakers in the distribution board. The manufacturer make and model of the 2 new circuit breakers shall be the same as the existing circuit breakers in UPS section #2.

(xi) These new power circuits will run within the floor void and will be mounted on two sections of new welded wire mesh cable tray systems.

(xii) The welded wire mesh cable tray will be galvanized, medium duty, 150mm wide, and have 50mm x 50mm mesh distribution (50mm x 100mm mesh distribution will not be allowed).

(xiii) No factory manufactured bends or tee pieces will be required. The contractor may cut the wire mesh to for the required bends and tees.

(xiv) The estimated total length of wire mesh required for this project is 36m for the A Feed and 36m for the B Feed, i.e. total 72m.

(f) Power circuit outlet point conversion

(i) The following work will only happen once the additional circuits have been installed and commissioned to provide a dual feed capability to each equipment rack. The intention then is that one dedicated socket outlet can be worked on at a time, while the equipment rack is still powered from the alternative power feed for that equipment rack. This will ensure minimum impact to the Switching Centre operations while the power work is undertaken.

1) The contractor will disconnect the existing dedicated switched socket outlet from the power circuit. This will be done for 21 circuits. The dedicated socket outlets will then be removed from the floor (once they are disconnected) and be handed to the local SITA representative.

2) The contractor will provide 21 new, IEC 60309 compliant, straight, female, 230V, 30A, industrial socket outlets and connect and commission these to the 21 power circuits.

3) The 21 new industrial socket outlets will be labelled to reflect the circuit breaker number and UPS section, it is fed from.

(ii) The contractor will assist the local SITA staff to connect the Network equipment to the new socket outlets.

(g) Balancing of existing UPS load

(i) The existing load connected to the UPS unit via the two UPS sections in the distribution board will be balanced by the contractor. The load balancing will only be done when the additional circuits as called for in this specification has been commissioned and the Network equipment been connected to the new circuits in a dual feed configuration. The UPS load will be balanced to within 5% of each other (over the three phases). The current UPS loading is approximate 110A, 32A, 81A over the three phases.

(ii) To ensure integrity of the Neutral connections, the contractor will not move phase conductors in the UPS panel #1 to the UPS panel #2, and vice versa.

(iii) The following process is proposed to allow the contractor to balance the UPS load and cause the least downtime to the Switching Centre operations.

Preparation work:1. Measure the individual UPS circuit loads. 2. Map out what circuits can be swapped over the phases to improve the

balancing.3. The contractor will also keep the physical number of circuits balanced

over the three phases (e.g. four circuits per phase).

Cutover work:1. The moving of circuits across the phases (per UPS section) will only

happen during an approved SITA Change Control period. 2. The moving of circuits across the phases (per UPS section) will only

happen once the additional circuits have been installed and commissioned to provide a dual feed capability to each equipment rack. The intention then is that the one UPS section can be isolated with minimum impact to the Switching Centre operations.

3. The contractor will then move the relevant circuits (as identified during the preparation work stage) to the alternative phase to achieve load balancing.

4. Once the circuit move has been completed, the contractor will recommission that UPS section again.

5. Once the circuits have been moved, and both power feeds have been restored, and all Network equipment has been recommissioned, the contractor will allow a 30 minute period for the UPS load to stabilize. The

Page 13: 1521... · Web viewlaminate foil in contact with the tinned earth wire and bonded to a sheath of hard grade PVC finished in a circular configuration. The average circuit length, per

contractor will then measure the loading again, to determine whether the required 5% balance has been achieved. If the required load balancing has not been achieved, the contractor will restart the process again and continue until the required result has been achieved.

6. One the required load balancing has been achieved, the contractor will relabel that entire UPS section of the distribution board:

a. The legend card will be replaced with a new legend card. The new legend card will indicate the circuit breaker number, the row and rack number it feeds, and relevant equipment (E.g. Circuit Breaker #1 – Row 2, Rack 1 – NMS)

7. The contractor will remove the existing label from all the socket outlets, and relabel the socket outlet to reflect the new circuit breaker number.

8. The contractor will also update the Switching Centre Equipment Rack Floor layout drawing to reflect the following for each equipment rack indicated on the drawing: indicate the circuit breaker numbers for each equipment rack, and indicate the load (Amp) that is drawn by that equipment rack.

(h) Servicing of Electrical Distribution Board

(i) The contractor will service the entire electrical distribution board during an approved SITA Change Control Period. This service will comprise the following:

1) Ensure all earthing cables are securely connected inside the distribution board.

2) Report any obvious missing earths within the distribution board or within two meters from the distribution board.

3) Confirm functionality of surge protection devices and proper connection of these devices to the earth busbar. Ensure that no earth conductor from the surge protection devices runs parallel to any phase or neutral conductors within the distribution board (to prevent re-induction of clammed surges back to the circuit wiring).

4) Remove the cover on the distribution board to ensure that no cabling has become damaged and that there’s no exposed copper at terminal connections.

5) Report any burnt or discolored wiring inside the distribution board.6) Clear any dust built up on the equipment.

7) Clean all components inside distribution boards with electrical cleaning agent (use electrical contact cleaner aerosol; use insulated brushes to remove thick dust).

8) Measure respective voltages and record values (especially between Neutral and Earth).

9) Calibrate all power meters (Amp meters, Volt meters, etc).10) Test earth leakage units for functionality within statutory ranges. 11) Ensure that all timers are operating correctly where installed and reset

time if necessary.
