15.2 Disabling of electricity and/or air conditioning:
15.2.1 Internal Procedure:
• Anconsultantisappointedbythedepart-ment to do electrical work on campus that has the potential to cause an inter-ruption to power supply.
• The consultant/contractor informs theDepartment of Physical Resources in writing, at least three days beforehand about the planned and controlled power outage. It would however be preferable if aweek’snoticecouldbegiven.
11
• The time of advance notice varies ac-cordingtotheactivitiesinspecificbuild-ings and PM will negotiate this with the contractor/consultant.
• Thetimeofshutdownmustbeanabso-lute minimum.
• Ifnototherwisearranged,shuttingdownof power should take place during week-ends.
• The precise date, time and duration ofthe power outage must be arranged be-forehand with the client and PM.
• TheDepartment of Physical Resourcesgives written notice to the inhabitants of the building/buildings about planned power outages, and if it is not suitable, alternative dates and times are negoti-ated
• Where needed consultants/contractorsshould be helpful to provide alternative means of power supply. This will be com-municated to them by PM as soon as the request is received.
15.2.2 External Procedures:
• AconsultantisappointedbytheDepart-ment to do electrical work on campus that has the potential to cause an inter-ruption to the power supply.
• Theelectrical contractorgivesnotice tothe electrical consultant that there will be apoweroutageonaspecificdayatanappointed time.
• The electrical consultant gives writtennotice to the project leader (Architect, Quantity Surveyor, or engineer appoint-ed by the University) or directly to the University (PM/PP) if the consultant is appointed individually.
• Theprearrangedtimeframeschangeac-cordingtotheactivitiesinspecificbuild-ings and will be discussed/arranged with the contractor/project leader.
• The period of interruptions shouldbe restricted to the minimum.
• Asfaraspossibletheinterruptionsshouldbe scheduled over weekends.
• Theexactdate,timeanddurationoftheplanned power outage must be arranged in writing to the project leader, tak-ing into account that the project leader needs the opportunity to give the infor-mation to the appropriate campus per-sonnel at least three days in advance. It would however be better if notice could be given a week in advance. It is there-fore necessary that PM be given no-tice of ten days in advance.
• Whereneededtheconsultant/contractorshould help to provide alternative means of power supply.
• Ifthepoweroutageisinconvenientornotpossible, the University (PM) will contact the project leader and alternative times and dates can be arranged.
• Afterthistheprocessrepeatsasofpointnumber 2.
15.2.3Maintenancespecificationsfor Electrical installations:
• Examplesofluminaires(andenergysav-ing lamps 840) must be presented by an electrical consultant/contractor to PM be-fore installation. For projects where aes-thetics are important, examples of lumi-naires to PM is crucial before installation and after approval from the Architect as well as Physical Resources, the instal-
12
lation can commence. If a certain type of light is technically approved once, it is not later necessary to give a physical sample on another project. A photo and specifications from the catalogue willsuffice.
• All light switches and socket outlets(or other outlets) should be numbered with the appropriate circuit number and switchboard name. A “Brother” labelprinter is sufficient for this. Emergencylight luminaires should also be marked like this. All socket circuits should be clearly identifiablebymeansof the leg-end on the switchboard. If the legend does not give clear indications, the sock-et outlets of the installation should be clearly marked with the circuit reference.
• Circuitbreakers fornewbuildingsor in-stallations must as far as possible be from the same supplier as the nearest upstream circuit breaker. Example: a new small installation feed from a distribution box with an old Fuchs circuit breaker as the main breaker and this box then feeds from a substation where an M&G circuit breaker is the main, then CBI is used. The board manufacturer states the type on the quotation. In principle only Schneider Circuit breakers and not CBI must be used for new buildings or instal-lations.
• Allcoverplatesonpanelsmustbepow-der coated and must adapt to the exist-ing colour, where appropriate. Cover plates from normal boards should be White. Red for Emergency power, Purple for UPS. (SABS 1091). There is some flexibilityregardingtheshadesofcolour,
but this should be cleared with PM be-fore manufacturing commences.
• Emergencypowerandminisubpedestalspecifications will be provided. Pleaseallow area around pedestal to be profes-sionally rehabilitated. Leave 1.5m paving around to give personnel admission for maintenance purposes.
• Forplannedpoweroutages,theRiskAs-sessment should be done seven days before by the contractor. For large-scale power outages, 10 days notice from contractor is needed otherwise a 7 day notice is sufficient. Contractor providesswitch instructions and risk assessment to consultant before power outages. Af-ter completion of project, it is important that the contractor complete the Stand-ard Authorization, Switch Instructions, Risk Assessment and Permit forms and submit to UFS Competent Person by next working day.
• Allow to integrate ALL new HVAC me-chanical installations, including electri-cal heater panels in hostel rooms and all buildings to the existingBMS (JohnsonControls) as part of the Energy Man-agement Policy. Where geysers are in-stalled, a load management device that can integratewith the existing JohnsonControls BMS, must be provided. Flow diagrams and graphic layouts must be agreeduponatdesignstageandreflect-ed in the tender amount. Updating the existing Main Workstation PC graphics forms part of the scope of works.
• Tails tonewcircuitbreakersonexistingdistribution boards should be fed from the bus bars with conductors that have
13
the similar current carrying capacity than the new circuit breaker.
• Cablesaremarkedonbothends:Cable-and earth conductor size in mm2 and DB name where/from where fed. Profession-al labelling system to be used.
• Factory acceptance testing is requiredon all Emergency power, 11kV equip-ment and switchboards 10kA and larger. Factory Testing Certificate and then 1hour load test on terrain. 11kV equip-ment: Factory Testing Certificate, nophysical testing by consultant in factory.
• The streetlight cabinet should be sup-plied separate from the Main switch-board. Get clearance from the University Electrical Engineer before construction. New Street- / terrain light cable feedsshould have a bypass switch in the di-vider cabinet for maintenance during the day.
• AllcontactorsshouldbeselectedforanAC3 application, no matter in which ap-plication. All contactors to be similar and equal to Telemechanique.
• ELSTERA1700Energymeterwithasso-ciatedGSMmodem(v117xfirmware),3months web hosting by SDG Technolo-gies per building/transformer must be al-lowed for.
• Phase/Flash barriers are required onboth the line and the load sides of circuit breakers. Any moulded case type circuit breaker that can accommodate phase barriers should have it.
• Switchboards 10kA and larger shouldcomply with SABS TTA. The board man-ufacturer shouldprovideCertificateandprovide a TTA label on the switchboard.
• Sparecapacityof30%shouldbeallowedon all new distribution and switchboards aswellassparecircuitbreakersfitted.
• Cable jointmarkers should be suppliedon top of all Cable joints.
• Transformer/substation room doorsshould have removable ventilation pan-elsthatcontainfilters.
• All new panels ( Pillar box, Emergencypower generators, Mini substations, Sub station doors, etc.) that by law should be equipped with a locking mechanism, must be supplied with padlocks that are on the UFS Master lock system.
