ORANGE COUNTY 260593-2 <br /> <br />Emergency Management Warehouse Building Dehumidification Electrical Connections for Equipment <br /> <br /> <br />Flexible metal conduit 1 <br /> 2 <br />Flexible metal conduit fittings 3 <br /> 4 <br />Liquid-tight flexible metal conduit 5 <br /> 6 <br />Liquid-tight flexible metal conduit fittings 7 <br /> 8 <br />Wires, Cables, and Connectors: 9 <br /> 10 <br />General: Provide wires, cables, and connectors complying with Section 260519, SECONDARY VOLTAGE 11 <br />WIRES AND CABLES. 12 <br /> 13 <br />Wires/Cables: Unless otherwise indicated, provide conductors for electrical connections that match, 14 <br />including sizes and ratings, of wires/cables that are supplying electrical power. Provide copper conductors 15 <br />with conductivity of not less than 98% at 68 F. 16 <br /> 17 <br />Connectors and Terminals: Provide copper electrical connectors and terminals that mate and match, 18 <br />including sizes and ratings, with equipment terminals and are recommended by equipment manufacturer for 19 <br />intended applications. Aluminum conducting components are not acceptable for use on this project. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Electrical Connection Accessories: Provide electrical insulating tape, wirenuts and cable ties as 22 <br />recommended for use by accessories manufacturers for type services indicated. 23 <br /> 24 <br /> 25 <br />PART 3 - EXECUTION 26 <br /> 27 <br /> 28 <br />INSPECTION 29 <br /> 30 <br />Inspect area and conditions under which electrical connections for equipment are to be installed and notify A-E in 31 <br />writing of conditions detrimental to proper completion of the Work. Do not proceed with the Work until unsatisfactory 32 <br />conditions have been corrected. 33 <br /> 34 <br /> 35 <br />INSTALLATION OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 36 <br /> 37 <br />Install electrical connections as indicated in accordance with equipment manufacturer's written instructions and with 38 <br />recognized industry practices, and complying with applicable requirements of UL, NEC and NECA'S "Standard of 39 <br />Installation" to ensure that products fulfill requirements. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Coordinate with other work, including wires/cables, raceway and equipment installation, as necessary to properly 42 <br />interface installation of electrical connections for equipment with other work. 43 <br /> 44 <br />Connect electrical power supply conductors to equipment conductors in accordance with equipment manufacturer's 45 <br />written instructions and wiring diagrams. Mate and match conductors of electrical connections for proper interface 46 <br />between electrical power supplies and installed equipment. 47 <br /> 48 <br />Cover splices with electrical insulating material equivalent to, or of greater insulation resistivity rating than electrical 49 <br />insulation rating of those conductors being spliced. 50 <br /> 51 <br />Prepare cables and wires by cutting and stripping covering armor, jacket, and insulation properly to ensure uniform 52 <br />and neat appearance where cables and wires are terminated. Exercise care to avoid cutting through tapes that will 53 <br />remain on conductors. Also avoid "ringing" copper conductors while skinning wire. 54 <br /> 55 <br />Trim cables and wires as short as practicable and arrange routing to facilitate inspection, testing and maintenance. 56 <br />Leave a minimum of 6” of excess spare conductor at each termination. 57 <br /> 58 <br /> 59 <br /> 60 <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 7668B866-6C26-485C-9A45-DAAB5D4BD951
