74-3.03 CONSTRUCTION

74-3.03A General


Do not install electrical equipment on unpainted wood panels.

74-3.03B Installation

74-3.03B(1) General


Reserved

74-3.03B(2) Conduit, Conductors, and Cable


Do not install conduits behind ladders or within 15 inches of the ladder-rung vertical centerline.

Install flexible conduit with approximately 6 inches of slack between terminations.

Flexible conduits and their fittings are considered a discontinuity and must be shunted by bonding jumpers. Install bonding jumpers inside the flexible conduit. Do not use the flexible conduit as the ground.

Install conductors and cables under section 87-1.03K and as follows:

1. Pull conductors to prevent damage to the sheath or insulation.

2. Install conductors and cables entering equipment and boxes with drip loops to prevent water reaching the current-carrying parts or other conduits.

3. Remove insulation without damaging the conductor.

4. Identify conductors by number at each termination.


Feeder and branch circuit conductors that are ungrounded must have continuously color-coded insulation. Conductors no. 6 AWG or larger may use colored tape. If used, apply tape at each connection and where accessible. Ungrounded conductor color-coding must be as shown in the following table:

Ungrounded Conductor Color-Coding

System

Color code

120/240V(ac)-Single phase

Black, blue

120/240V(ac)-Three phase

Black, orange, blue

120/208V(ac)-Three phase

Black, red, blue

480/277V(ac)-Three phase

Brown, purple, yellow


74-3.03B(3) Motor Control Center


Use concrete anchorage devices to anchor the motor control center sections to the concrete slab. Shim each section to make the motor control center level.

The motor control center sections must fit through the pump house doorway or roof access opening. Any modifications required for installation must be pre-approved by the manufacturer and must not change performance.

Install current switches in the starter compartments. Loop power conductors around the sensing coil multiple times.

74-3.03B(4) Panel LP


The panelboard directory must list the equipment controlled and the area designation. The directory must be printed using Times New Roman font and at least 12-point font size. Place the directory in the panelboard door frame with a transparent protective cover.

74-3.03B(5) Miscellaneous Materials


Secure hangers, brackets, supports, and electrical equipment to surfaces using:

1. Concrete anchorage devices into concrete or solid masonry surfaces

2. Machine screws or bolts into metal surfaces

3. Wood screws into wood construction surfaces



74-3.03C Conductor Splices


Do not splice the drainage pump cables between the pumps and the enclosure shown.

Conductor splices must be made only in (1) fixtures, (2) junction boxes, and (3) gutters.

Splices must be made using either pressure connectors listed by a NRTL or soldered joints made by soldering irons. Do not use open flame soldering.

Insulate splices using the following sequence:

1. Apply 2 half-lapped layers of self-fusing, oil and flame-resistant, synthetic rubber tape covered by 2 half-lapped layers of pressure-sensitive, adhesive, PVC electrical tape at least 7 mils thick.

2. After taping the splice, apply an electrical insulating coating. The coating must be (1) fast drying, (2) resistant to oil, acids, alkalis, and corrosive atmospheric conditions, and (3) compatible with the tape.

74-4 BOOSTER PUMPS

74-4.01 GENERAL

74-4.01A Summary


Section 74-4 includes specifications for installing booster pumps.

74-4.01B Definitions


Reserved

74-4.01C Submittals

74-4.01C(1) General


Reserved

74-4.01C(2) Shop Drawings


Submit shop drawings for each booster pump.

74-4.01C(3) Product Data


Submit product data for the booster pump, including the following components:

1. Pump, including pump curve and motor information

2. Valves

3. Pump controller

4. Booster pump enclosure

5. Pressure gauge

6. Appurtenances

74-4.01C(4) Closeout Submittals


Submit closeout submittals as a Maintenance and Operations Manual before completion of the work. Submit 2 copies as PDF files on CDs or DVDs. Submit 1 copy as fused-laminate prints in a 3 ring binder with tabbed dividers. Organize each manual as follows:

1. Index


2. Parts list

3. Operating instructions

4. Maintenance instructions

5. Pump curve



74-4.01D Quality Assurance


The requirements of section 74-1.01D do not apply to the booster pump.

Notify the Engineer 5 business days before testing the booster pump. Test the booster pump in the Engineer's presence after connecting the booster pump to the irrigation system.

The discharge water from testing must not cause erosion, damage to equipment or plantings, or interfere with ongoing work.

The pump must not load the motor to more than the product of the nameplate (1) amperage and (2) service factor. The flow rate must not vary from the pump curve by more than 5 percent at 100 percent motor speed.

Test each booster pump at the following test points:

1. Zero flow rate (cutoff head)

2. Maximum flow rate

3. Design heads shown

4. Steady-state flow for each irrigation controller station
Record the following for each test point:

1. Motor rpm

2. Motor voltage

3. Motor amperage

4. Suction pressure of the pump

5. Discharge pressure of the pump


After testing, run the booster pump through 3 successful, complete irrigation controller cycles.

If the booster pump fails testing, adjust system components as necessary and retest.
