- Description
- APPROXIMATE ISSUE DATE: 9 Nov 04 This project is to provide the bonding required between the electrical system ground and the lightning protection ground bus bar as required in NFPA 780 Paragraph 3.14.2. This project includes 117 buildingsOne hundred and eleven (111) buildings are in “Controlled” areas on Hill Air Force Base and six (6) are at the Little Mountain facility. The installed grounding bus bar for each building is mounted ‘close’ to where the building electrical service equipment is mounted. Each building will be different but there are two basic types of buildings; one with the electrical service and grounding bus bar mounted inside and the other type with the electrical service and grounding bus bar mounted outside. The grounding bus bar is 12 inches long, 4 inches high, and ¼ inch thick. There are 5 sets of mounting holes for cable connectors. Each set of mounting holes has 3 holes; with two holes 1 inch center to center and the other holes ¾ entrance cabinet and at least every 5 feet in between. All support clamps used outside will be either stainless steel or UL rated for exterior use with copper conductors. The buildings with the grounding bus bar mounted inside do not have the 4/0 cable from the lightning protection system connected to the grounding bus bar. In every one of these buildings the contractor shall provide a 4/0 compression connector for connecting to the grounding bus bar. Exothermic connectors are not allowed for this case because the exothermic reaction would have to take place inside a building with hazardous materials. Contractor will also be required to fill in the hole into the building where the 4/0 AWG grounding conductor comes through the wall. Contractor shall clean any debris from the hole and use clear silicone sealant to neatly fill in the space (both sides of the wall) around the cable. For entrance into the electrical system cabinet, the contractor shall either use a knock out into the service entrance cabinet or drill a hole for entrance. The contractor shall use appropriate safety procedures when working in the electrical service cabinet to ensure safety of personnel and equipment. Contractor shall provide a plastic bushing to protect the conductor from the metal cabinet. After installation of grounding conductor through bushing, the contractor shall seal the bushing with clear silicon sealant around the conductor. The contractor shall connect the grounding conductor to the ground bus in the electrical system service entrance cabinet. Contractor shall provide and install lug on end of cable as required to make the connection to the existing, grounding bus. All hardware for outside work will be stainless steel. Connection to the mounted grounding bus bar (See Item 2) will be made with a 3/8 inch stainless steel bolt, nut, 2 flat washers, and split lock washer for each of the two holes. All equipment used will be UL or FM labeled. All work will be done in a workmanlike manner. Conductor runs will be parallel or perpendicular to building lines. Contractor will clear up all debris caused by this project. Contractor will provide and install any miscellaneous items or materials for a complete and functioning project. All of the buildings in the project do not have their lightning protection installed yet. As of February 1, 2004 there are about 75 buildings complete. The rest should be completed by July 2004. Contractor may be held up somewhat waiting for lightning protection to be installed on some buildings. Contractor will not be held responsible for delays caused by lightning installation contractor.
