Construction Documents <br />20052.02 / Orange County - Justice <br />Facility <br />26 0519 - 5 POWER CONDUCTORS AND <br />CABLES <br />2. Maintain separation of Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 remote-control, signaling, and <br />power-limited circuits in accordance with NFPA 70. <br />3. 0 - 10V lighting dimming conductors may not be routed in the same raceway with line <br />voltage conductors. <br />4. Maintain separation of wiring for emergency systems in accordance with NFPA 70. <br />5. Common Neutrals: Unless otherwise indicated, sharing of neutral/grounded conductors <br />among up to three single phase branch circuits of different phases installed in the same <br />raceway is not permitted. Provide dedicated neutral/grounded conductor for each <br />individual branch circuit. <br />6. A dedicated green equipment grounding conductor shall be provided for all raceways <br />containing branch circuit or feeder conductors. Equipment ground conductor shall be sized <br />in accordance with the NEC. <br />B. Install products in accordance with manufacturer's instructions. <br />C. Install conductors and cable in a neat and workmanlike manner. Neatly train and lace wiring <br />inside boxes, equipment, and panelboards. <br />D. Installation in Raceway: <br />1. Tape ends of conductors and cables to prevent infiltration of moisture and other <br />contaminants. <br />2. Pull all conductors and cables together into raceway at same time. <br />3. Do not damage conductors and cables or exceed manufacturer's recommended maximum <br />pulling tension and sidewall pressure. <br />4. Use suitable wire pulling lubricant for conductors #4 AWG or larger, except when lubricant <br />is not recommended by the manufacturer. <br />E. Paralleled Conductors: Install conductors of the same length and terminate in the same <br />manner. <br />F. Install conductors with a minimum of 12 inches (300 mm) of slack at each outlet. <br />G. Neatly train and bundle conductors inside boxes, wireways, panelboards and other equipment <br />enclosures. <br />H. Group or otherwise identify neutral/grounded conductors with associated ungrounded <br />conductors inside enclosures in accordance with NFPA 70. <br />I. Make wiring connections using specified wiring connectors. <br />1. Remove appropriate amount of conductor insulation for making connections without <br />cutting, nicking or damaging conductors. <br />2. Do not remove conductor strands to facilitate insertion into connector. <br />3. Clean contact surfaces on conductors and connectors to suitable remove corrosion, <br />oxides, and other contaminates. Do not use wire brush on plated connector surfaces. <br />4. Connections for Aluminum Conductors: Fill connectors with oxide inhibiting compound <br />where not pre-filled by manufacturer. <br />J. Insulate ends of spare conductors using vinyl insulating electrical tape. <br />K. Unless specifically indicated to be excluded, provide final connections to all equipment and <br />devices, including those furnished by others, as required for a complete operating system. <br />3.04 FIELD QUALITY CONTROL <br />A. All tests shall be completely documented indicating time of day, date, temperature and all <br />pertinent test information. All required documentation shall be submitted to the Engineer prior <br />to, and as a prerequisite for, final acceptance of the project. All test results shall be included in <br />the Owner's operation and maintenance manual. <br />B. Inspect and test in accordance with NETA ATS, except Section 4. <br />C. Perform inspections and tests listed in NETA ATS, Section 7.3.2. The insulation resistance test <br />is required for all conductors prior to energizing feeders, sub-feeders, or service entrance <br />conductors. <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 09980A3B-0691-41B4-854D-3865F2287392
