1.0 PURPOSE
1.1 The purpose of this design criteria is to provide the basis for developing the detail design of the electrical services and associated systems for the Canadian Light Source project by establishing general considerations, recommended practices and specific precautions based on referenced standards and industry practices.
1.2 The design criteria document will be used as a continuing document and will be kept current throughout the life of the project.
1.3 The design criteria will contain the salient design goals for accomplishing complete system design. As system descriptions are developed producing greater detail for the system, the applicable portion will be referenced by the design criteria to avoid duplication.
2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 The design, selection and sizing of electrical equipment is affected by many factors and installation conditions such as ambient temperature, altitude, load, demand factors, percent loss of equipment life under short time emergency overload conditions, voltage regulation, short circuit capacities, the ability to start large motors, load characteristics, client standards, and relevant codes and standards.
2.2 The design criteria will attempt to recommend the lowest cost sizing without lowering reliability, future expansion or safety to limit the installed cost and minimize future spare costs.
2.3 The electrical system will be economically designed for continuous and reliable service, safety to personnel and equipment, ease of maintenance and operation, minimum power losses, mechanical protection of equipment, interchange ability of equipment, and addition of future loads.
2.4 Voltage insulation levels, interrupting capacities, continuous current capacities, circuit protective devices, and mechanical strengths will be selected and co-coordinated in accordance with the recommendations of IEEE, EEMAC, CSA, ICEA, and ANSI. Calculations will be made to ensure all equipment is suitable for the duty required.
2.5 System protective devices (relays, fuses, breaker trip units, etc.,) will be selected and co-coordinated to ensure that the interrupter nearest the point of short circuit (or high overload) will open first and minimize disturbances on the rest of the system.
2.6 Flexibility of the system, investment and operational costs together with load concentration will also be considered in the electrical design. - 2 -
2.7 The electrical distribution system will be designed and installed to meet the power and grounding requirements of the electronic load equipment.

6.0 DESIGN PHISOLOPHY
6.1 Utility Requirements
6.1.1 The power requirements for the facilities are as follows: Present demand load of 12 MW Present connected load of 13.95 MW Future additional load of 2 MW
6.1.2 Utility phasing/phase rotation requirements will be provided by U of S Facilities Management and will be shown on overall single line diagram.
- 10 -
6.1.3 Maximum and minimum short circuit contribution from utility source will be provided by the U of S Facilities Management.
6.1.4 Utility power metering will be provided as described in section 6.25.
6.2 Power Supply
6.2.1 Power supply to the CLS facilities will be provided by two independent sources (different incoming distribution lines). The minimum capacity of each supply feeder will be sufficient to supply 120% of the maximum operating load for non-transformer loads plus 100% of the sum of the full- load maximum site ratings of the connected transformers.
6.2.2 Power supply interface with the CLS facilities will be at the 25 kV bus of the main switchgear (primary selective). The 25 kV bus will be double ended, connected via a normally open tie-breaker that may be manually closed upon loss of one feeder. All feeders from main switchgear to the CLS facilities will be radial.
6.2.3 The power supply to the facilities will be metered using Demand-Energy type metering.
6.2.4 Where possible, power to the electronic load equipment will be provided at higher voltage (600Y/347V) instead at the actual equipment utilization voltage (208 Y/120V) to achieve the following benefits.
Lower system impedance to provide a more stable source with better voltage regulation and to minimize voltage distortion due to the non-linear load currents. Step-down transformers (and other power enhancement devices) located close to the electronic load equipment to minimize the buildup of common mode voltages. Delta-connected transformer primaries trap balanced triplen harmonic currents generated on the secondary side by non-linear electronic load equipment that helps to reduce distortion of the voltage waveform at 600 V level as well as helps to attenuate disturbances originating at the 600 V system. Distribute power at lower currents resulting in lower heat losses in feeders and decrease material and labour costs associated with installing long feeder circuits.
6.2.5 General building loads (such as lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning and process cooling equipment) and electronic load equipment (klystrons, power supplies, beam lines, etc.) will be supplied from separate switchgears respectively. The switchgear for general building loads will be designated dirty power switchgear and switchgear for electronic load equipment will be called clean power switchgear.
- 11 -
6.2.6 Electronic load equipment will be powered through dedicated feeder cable circuits consisting of phase conductors, neutral conductor (where applicable) and insulated equipment grounding conductor(s) in effectively grounded and bonded metallic conduit, raceway or cable assemblies.
6.2.7 Where shared feeder cable circuits or busway (with taps) are used to serve electronic load equipment, a separately derived source (such as an isolation transformer or other power conditioner) will be specified for each tap serving electronic load equipment.
6.2.8 Where interface of electronic load equipment to the building electrical distribution system branch circuit is necessary, a dry-type shielded isolation transformer (or other power enhancement device) will be installed to provide system voltage matching and also create a separately derived source.
6.2.9 For any voltage drop exceeding 25% for second, the facilities will require a new start up. An automatic re-acceleration of motors or a restart of equipment will not be provided.
6.3 System Voltage and Frequency

6.5.4 Insulation levels of 25 KV power cables will be specified based on fault clearing time for the system voltage being used and as described below:
100% insulation level will be used where relay protection is such that ground faults will be cleared as rapidly as possible, but in any case, within one minute of occurrence. Usually, these are solidly grounded systems. 133% insulation level will be used where fault-clearing time is not within the one-minute criterion but offering adequate assurance that the fault will be cleared within one hour. Usually, these are ungrounded systems. The 133% insulation level is the most common and is recommended for delta ungrounded systems 173% insulation level will be used where fault-clearing time is indefinite. Usually, 173% insulation level is used for resonant grounded systems.

6.14.2 Demand factors will be applied to motors that are known to operate at less than full load or when the load is cyclical or intermittent. Applying demand factors will provide the most economical system.
6.14.3 Calculated running loads will be obtained from the pump calculation sheets. Spare pumps will be added to the load list as a zero load (0.5 for each paired pump). Cyclical loads such as sump pumps will be applied a reduced demand factor (0.3-0.7). Intermittent loads such as cranes will have a demand factor based on the percent of the time they are used (0. 1-0.25).
6.14.4 Lighting loads will be added with a 100% demand factor.

6.16.5 Voltage drops at normal operating conditions are not to exceed 3%.
- 17 -
6.16.6 Voltage drop at motor terminals during starting is not to exceed 20%.
6.16.7 Voltage drop on a feeder bus during starting is not to exceed 5% (10% for large motors with infrequent starts). Appropriate measures like capacitor assisted starting, reduced voltage starting, soft start and transformer on- load tap changers will be selected so as not to exceed voltage drops
6.16.8 Motors greater than 20 kW will be provided with reduced voltage closed transition, autotransformer starters, or load controlled solid-state soft-start starters.
6.16.9 Motors in excess of 40 kW will be provided with local power factor correction.
6.16.10 Where motor anti-condensation heaters are utilized, the control circuit will be designed for automatic operation of heaters whenever the motor is off and, in the case of medium voltage motors, when the switchgear is in the racked-out position.
6.16.11 Transformer impedance will be selected to limit short-circuit currents to values within the ratings of the connected equipment and to optimize voltage regulation.
6.16.12 The power circuit breakers will be manually operated for non-motor loads. Static trip devices will be furnished on all load center power circuit breakers.
6.16.13 Breaker-protected combination starters will control motors fed from MCCs.

6.17 Protective Devices
6.17.1 Protective devices will be provided for the electrical system to permit isolation of faulted or overloaded equipment and cables as quickly as possible to minimize equipment damage and limit the extent of system outages. Major components such as the HV switchgear and large transformers will be provided with back-up protection. Current and potential transformers will be connected to provide overlapping zones of protection.
6.17.2 Protective and isolation devices for HV switchgear will be operated from independent circuits of the 125 V dc system. - 18 -
6.17.3 Faults that have a high probability of not self-clearing will trip and lock out appropriate breakers and devices. Manual system restoration will be permitted for faults of a temporary nature.
6.17.4 Protective devices will be selected considering the maximum and minimum available fault currents.
6.17.5 Current sensing relays will be of the drawout case type to permit testing and calibration without disruption of the current transformer secondary circuit.
6.17.6 The overcurrent protective devices for electronic load equipment located in switchboards and panelboards will be true RMS type.
6.17.7 To avoid damage to electronic load equipment due to single-phasing (since most three-phase electronic load equipment can not tolerate single- phase power to its input), electronic phase-failure or voltage unbalance relays will be specified, where required, to mitigate single-phasing events in addition to fuses or circuit breakers (fuses and circuit breakers generally do not prevent all types of single-phasing conditions).
6.17.8 Feeders to radial substations with transformer fault pressure relaying (63) or neutral backup relaying (51 G), or both, will be transfer tripped through lockout relays (86T) at the substation. The lockout relays will be provided with mechanical or electrical means for manual initiation. If there is no control power battery at the radial substation, shunt type lockout relays may require local capacitors to assist in tripping.
6.17.9 Time and instantaneous phase over-current tripping will be provided for feeder breakers requiring relaying except that instantaneous tripping will be omitted if relaying exists downstream without significant intervening impedance. If the only downstream protection with which the feeder relaying must co-ordinate is fuses, instantaneous phase over-current tripping will be furnished if selectivity can be achieved. This requires that the instantaneous trip setting be 70% of the peak let-through current of the largest anticipated fuse, and that fuse be current limiting at the fault level of the system where it is located.
6.17.10 Overcurrent protection for primary feeders to power transformers will consist of an overcurrent relay in each phase. A ground overcurrent relay will also be provided for the solidly grounded supply system.

6.30.1.12 Trays will be located so that the lowest part of the cable tray support assembly is at least 2.1 metres above floors to maintain minimum headroom requirements. Trays in cable spreading rooms may need to be less than 2 metres due to the high concentration of cables in the area.
6.30.1.13 Cable trays will not be routed through areas where there is potential for accumulation of oil or other combustible materials on the cables. If cable trays must be routed through these areas, the cable trays must be provided with tray covers designed to minimize the amount of such material reaching the cables.
6.30.1.14 Trays will not be located near heat sources (burner fronts, steam piping, heat exchangers, etc.) unless cables are adequately derated and suitable for the higher ambient temperatures. If this is not practical or possible, a protective heat barrier will be installed.
6.30.1.15 Circuits in cable spreading areas will be limited to those performing control and instrument functions and those power supply circuits and facilities serving the control room and instrument systems.
6.30.1.16 Where routed through cable spreading areas, power supply circuits to instrument and control room distribution panels will be installed in conduits.
6.30.1.17 Extra consideration must be given to the strength of the support elements (beam clamps, anchor bolts, hanger rods, etc.) used to support vertical stacks and long vertical runs of cable tray.
6.30.1.18 Each section of cable tray will be connected to adjacent sections using splice plates or approved coupling device and located within of the span from the supports.
6.30.1.19 Where cable trays are located over any electrical equipment, the minimum vertical separation of approximately 0.90 m from the top of the equipment to the bottom of the tray will be maintained.
6.30.1.20 The cable tray system will be mounted so that sufficient space above the tray is provided to permit installation of any approved cable-pulling equipment.
- 39 -
6.30.1.21 A minimum variety of tray sizes and fittings will be chosen to simplify design and inventory.
6.30.1.22 Fittings will be limited to 45 and 90 degrees. Special, 30 and 60 fittings will be used only when required to satisfy special requirements.

6.30.1.24 In general, the recommended minimum vertical clearance between cable trays will be 300 mm, measured from the bottom of the upper tray to the top of the lower tray. At least 230 mm clearance will be maintained between the top of trays and beams, piping, etc., to facilitate installation of cables in the tray.
6.30.1.25 Two or more horizontal trays located adjacent to each other will not be located against a wall, unless the vertical clearance above the trays is increased to 813 mm.
6.30.1.26 Where trays are located adjacent to one another, an adequate workspace of 610 mm minimum will be maintained on one side of each tray.
6.30.1.27 Except as indicated otherwise herein, all indoor vertical trough and ladder type trays will be furnished with louvered ventilated covers. All indoor horizontal trays located under grating floors or insulated pipe be furnished with solid covers which extend at least 610 mm beyond that part of the trays directly exposed beneath the grating floor or insulated pipe. Indoors, covers may be omitted on those lower trays of stacked trough and ladder type trays where a covered tray at a higher elevation in the stack provides complete vertical shielding to the lower tray. All outdoor trays will be furnished with solid covers. Trays that are specified to have solid bottoms will also have solid covers throughout, including all horizontal runs, all fittings, and all vertical runs.
6.30.1.28 The cable tray system will be electrically continuous. All trays containing power circuits will be provided with a continuous ground conductor installed in or on the entire length of the tray system. This ground must be connected to the station ground grid at locations indicated on the - 40 -
grounding drawings. For cable trays containing control or instrument circuits only, a ground conductor is not required; however, the tray will be connected to building steel at intervals not exceeding 45 metres, and will be mechanically connected to any enclosure or raceway to which the tray terminates. Where connection of control and instrument tray to building steel or at terminations as indicated is not possible, ground jumpers will be used as required to maintain electrical continuity. Cable trays will be grounded at intervals not exceeding 15 m.
6.30.1.29 Effective fire stops will be provided for cable entries into equipment. All penetrations through walls for cable trays especially into cable spreading rooms and all vertical penetrations through floors will also be provided with fire stops.

6.30.1.31 Cable tray fills will be limited to no more than 40% of the cross-sectional loading area of the tray except that trays containing power cables rated 2,000 volts and higher will be limited to 30% fill. The 30% fill limitation may be exceeded if a single layer of power cables is installed which does not exceed 40% fill.
6.30.1.32 The electrical conductors for redundant systems will be separated by arrangement of cable trays and/or protective barriers such that no single event will prevent operation of the required number of redundant systems. The degree of separation required varies with the potential hazards in a particular area.
6.30.1.33 Cable trays containing circuits for redundant systems will be arranged to minimize the possibility of a fire damaging more than one system or propagating from one system to another.
6.30.1.34 Cable trays will not be loaded initially to greater than 80% of their load capacity. Snow and ice build-up will be taken into consideration for outdoor areas. Deflections will not exceed EEMAC standards.
6.30.1.35 The cable trays will be separated as follows:
- 41 -
Intrinsic safe cables in own trays, or separated by barriers. Instrument 24V, thermocouples, 4-20 mA signals, communications Instrument 115 V & discrete. LV and Motor control cables/Lighting cables HV Power Cables
6.30.1.36 Providing all conductors are insulated for the maximum voltage of any conductor within the tray, power cables of 600 volts or less may occupy the same tray, without regard to voltage level of the individual circuits or whether the individual circuits are alternating or direct current.
6.30.1.37 Power cables rated over 600 volts will not occupy the same tray with conductors or systems of 600 volts or less, unless the cables rated over 600 volts are kept physically separated from those rated 600 volts or less by a solid, noncombustible, fixed barrier installed in the tray.
6.30.1.38 The 600 volt insulated conductors used for control, relay, and metering circuits may occupy the same tray as 600 volt insulated power circuit conductors. When this is done, the ampacity of the power cables will be reviewed carefully since position and grouping of the power cables in the tray is not controlled.
6.30.1.39 Conductors of systems sensitive to electrical noise will not occupy the same tray with conductors of power or control systems, and will be run in a separate instrument tray system. This tray system will be solid bottom with solid covers. Requirements of system manufacturers must be followed when routing cables for noise sensitive systems.
6.30.1.40 Trays for cables of different voltage levels will be stacked in descending order with the higher voltage above. Instrument cable trays will be lowest.
6.30.1.41 Since the tangent length on fittings varies between manufacturers, the tray layout will need to be flexible enough to be installed by any acceptable supplier.
6.30.1.42 Large cables that are installed in a single layer (not stacked) may extend above the siderail of the tray and may take more than 30 percent of the available tray space. Specific justification is required for these cases to obtain Owners approval. - 42 -

a. Ambient temperature during facilities operation. b. Cable insulation, type of jacket, and vendor-supplied nominal diameter c. Maximum continuous loads in amperes. d. Load demand expected. e. Cable sizes selected for the loads. f. CSA/IEEE/ICEA ampacities allowed for the depth of fill in the trays and for each type of power cable used in the tray.
6.30.1.44 When only instrument or control cables (all below 10 A, all below 150 V AC or DC), are included in a tray, any tray depth up to and including 152 mm is acceptable.
6.30.1.45 In high radiation areas and where power cable carry high frequency current (such as cables connecting fast rise time PWM inverter drives to AC motors) solid-bottom tray with solid covers will be specified to provide additional shielding, if required.
6.30.1.46 Certain cables, such as fiber optic and coaxial cables, which are more delicate than normal multiconductor control cables, may require special handling.
6.30.1.47 Single conductor cables for identified control systems, which are laid in cable trays, will be grouped together using nylon Ty-Raps or equal.
6.30.1.48 If a 152 mm deep tray is used for instrumentation or control cables, it may suit inventory convenience to use the same tray depth for power cables, even though the extra depth will not be utilized.

6.30.3.8 If the conduit size is not known at the time, a sleeve size will be specified, the designer will size the sleeve for the largest conduit size that may be required.
6.30.3.9 The inside radius of conduit bends will not be less than six times the inside diameter of the conduit nor that determined by dividing the cable pulling tension out of the bend by the maximum allowable sidewall pressure for the cables (200 is recommended and 300 is the maximum sidewall pressure).
6.30.3.10 Conduit lengths between pull boxes will not exceed the maximum allowable for cable pulling tension.
6.30.3.11 Conduit runs and entries into enclosures will be adequately spaced to provide for the installation of conduit fittings.

6.30.4.4 Conduits installed below grade and required to be encased in concrete will be encased by not less than 76 mm of concrete, will be buried not less than 610 mm below the finished grade elevations, and will be sloped to provide drainage of water. A means for drainage of water from the low point of conduits must be provided.
6.30.4.5 To avoid corrosion of its threads, conduit exiting a concrete encasement and extended to equipment will not be terminated flush with a coupling at the concrete surfaces. An exception is in locations where conduits extending beyond the concrete encasement might be damaged during construction.
6.31 Power Factor Correction
6.31.1 Improvements in power factor may be desired for financial reasons (to lower utility costs associated with power factor penalties) or operational reasons (to lower system losses, increase system reserve capacity, or improve voltage conditions).
- 46 -
6.31.2 Power factor capacitors, if specified, will be added as necessary to minimize the electrical kVA power demand. Larger, higher voltage capacitor banks are generally more economical than capacitor units installed with individual motors.
6.31.3 Extreme caution will be used when applying capacitors to ensure that they do not cause resonance conditions that can magnify harmonic levels and cause excessive voltage distortion.
6.31.4 Load harmonic profiles will be calculated or estimated (current harmonic profile estimated from typical individual pieces of electronic load equipment based upon experience or data supplied by the OEM).

7.0 EQUIPMENT SELECTION CRITERIA
All equipment supplied will bear the approval label of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Where CSA approval is not available, the Vendor will secure approval of the Technical Safety Services Branch of the Department of Industry and Labour, Province of Saskatchewan prior to shipment of equipment to site. Evidence of such approval will be presented to the Owner, prior to shipment of the equipment from the factory.
7.1 Equipment and materials selected for the CLS project will reflect the expected life span of 25 years and operating and environmental conditions to be experienced.
7.2 Least capital cost will be the main governing criterion for selection of major equipment such as transformers, switchgears, MCCs, motors and any other electrical equipment.
7.3 In certain unique situations, such as in cases where the owner may have required (and/or paid for) existing equipment, low loss transformers or high efficiency motors, the economic criterion needs to expand beyond least capital cost. In such cases, bidders will be evaluated on losses as follows: [no load + load losses] * [$XXXXIkW] + capital cost.]
7.4 Suppliers failing to meet guaranteed maximum losses as stated in their proposals will be penalized at [$XXXXXlkW] for no-load losses and [$XXXXlkW) for load losses.
7.5 Switchgear, MCCs, switchboards, and control equipment will be fully rated for short circuit duty. Series-rated, series-connected, or cascade-rated equipment will not be used. Use of low voltage current limiting fuses to limit short circuit duty and use of an approved combination motor controller that is rated as an assembly will be permitted.
7.6 Maximum operating loads will be used in calculations for sizing electrical power supply, distribution equipment and power cables. Maximum operating load is the maximum demand including known future demand. In new installations a minimum of 10% will be included for future demand. Demand is the electrical load averaged over a one-hour period.
7.7 If actual load data is available, the maximum operating load used for calculations involving portions of existing facilities will not exceed the maximum 15 minute or 30 minute demand measured over a minimum of a one-year period. Depending on the nature of the loads, the maximum operating load may be substantially less than the total connected load.

8.0 EQUIPMENT SELECTION AND SIZING
8.1 HV Switchgear
8.1.1 Existing HV switchgear from Preston substation will be used for CLS facilities.
8.1.2 HV switchgear will be outdoor, metal-enclosed, load interrupter with vacuum break equipment and dead-front structures grouped together for centralized control.
8.1.3 Spare circuit breaker and/or interrupter switch cubicles will be fully equipped for future addition of circuit breakers and/or interrupter switches without further modification to the assembly.
8.1.4 Control circuits, protective relaying and operating mechanisms of circuit breakers and/or disconnect switches will be 125 Vdc supplied from a battery charger located inside the main building.
8.2 Power Transformers
8.2.1 The main transformers will be outdoor, oil-immersed type, 3-phase delta connected primary and wye connected solidly grounded secondary with externally operated no-load full capacity tap changers on the high voltage winding and metal oxide lightning arresters on the low voltage side.
8.2.2 Dual temperature rise transformers will be specified to limit initial maximum load below 80% of site-rated self-cooled rating of the transformer. This will allow for load growth or changes from the time of purchase to project completion. For self-cooled transformers, an assessment will be made to determine if the load data are preliminary or firm. If preliminary, a 20 percent margin will be provided for potential load growth between transformer procurement and project completion. If client or contract commitments require a specific margin at project completion, this will be accounted for. Demand load factors, if not specifically known, will generally be 80 percent for 600 V loads.
8.2.3 Ambient temperatures affect load capacities of transformers. Transformers are rated for 30 C average over 24 hrs, 40 C maximum. Standard transformers have a 55 degree C rise, but dual rated 55/65 C transformers will be specified, for 12 % extra margin to account for harmonics as data is not available.
8.2.4 The short circuit capacities of power systems can be controlled, within limits, by the proper selection of transformer impedance. For example the standard impedance for a 1000 kva, 25 kV/600 Volt transformer is 5.75% - 50 -
and 8%. Large transformers have a range of impedance usually at no additional cost within standard ranges and at added cost outside those ranges.
8.2.5 Transformer impedance is selected to optimize voltage regulation and short circuit duty. A transformers impedance will be increased to allow for lower bus and breaker ratings, or decreased to start a large motor if cost premium can be justified.
8.2.6 The transformers will have output and impedance ratings and identical vector groups suitable for operation in parallel.
8.2.7 Power transformers for outdoor locations will be oil immersed sealed tank construction.
8.2.8 Transformers for indoor locations, supplying general service type loads such as shops or office buildings, will be as follows:
a. For clean above grade locations, ventilated dry type. b. For dirty or below grade locations, hermetically sealed dry type. c. When dry type is not available, the non-flammable liquid type.
8.2.9 Dry type transformers will be equipped with over-voltage protection when connected to systems above 600 Volts.
8.2.10 For liquid filled transformers; the type of liquid preservation system will be specified.
8.2.11 Enclosed terminals and connections are required for all power transformers except as follows:
a. Transformers fed by bare wire lines. b. Transformers in open bus switchyards.
8.2.12 The use of transformers with open terminals and connections requires the approval of Owner.
8.2.13 Power transformers without on-load tap changing will have four 2.5% full capacity taps for de-energized operation. Taps will be arranged to have an adjustment both up and down so that rated voltage may be obtained at the secondary terminals when normal primary voltage is applied. For average conditions, an arrangement of two taps above and two taps below rated primary voltage is suitable. If the rated secondary voltage is the same as the utilization device rated voltage, then all taps will be below rated primary voltage. Tap changer will be externally operable from grade level.
- 51 -
8.2.14 In radial distribution, primary-fused transformers 500 kVA and larger will be protected against single-phasing by one of the following:
Negative sequence voltage relaying on secondary side. Relay to be network filter type. An auxiliary time delay relay will be provided to prevent unnecessary operation of the anti-single-phase protection scheme during system transient disturbances. Mechanical sensing of blown fuse (trigger fuse or fuse with striker pin). Protection will cause opening of primary 3-phase load-break device (such as contactor) for transformer fed individually. Protection will cause an alarm. Protection schemes using 3-phase undervoltage relays to sense voltage unbalance and 3-phase current relays to sense current unbalance are not acceptable.
8.2.15 Fault pressure relaying (63) will be furnished on transformers larger than 1500 kVA where it is possible to trip primary breaker or controller.
8.2.16 Deletion of ground fault relaying on transformers smaller than 500 kVA requires the approval of Owner.
8.2.17 Transformers will be specified with manufacturers standard impedance except when other values are required to meet voltage drop limitations or cost saving by the use of switchgear with lower interrupting rating.
8.2.18 Electrostatically shielded isolation type transformers will be specified for interfacing between the building electrical distribution system and electronic load equipment.
8.2.19 To minimize voltage waveform distortion due to non-linear electronic load equipment and to improve voltage regulation of the transformer, dry-type isolation transformers will be specified with an impedance range of 3-5% as calculated at the nominal line frequency. The impedance will not exceed 6% in any case.
8.2.20 The transformer neutral bus will be rated at 200% of the secondary full load ampere rating to accommodate the large neutral currents resulting from triplen harmonics and phase imbalance.
8.2.21 For calculating K-factor, harmonic profiles of load currents will be measured and recorded at main transformers serving the load rather than at individual loads downstream locations, to avoid the tendency of calculating a higher than necessary K-factor.
8.2.22 The transformers will be specified with a rated K-factor of equal to or larger than the load K-factor. If the load K-factor is not known at the time, a - 52 -
K-factor of 20 will be specified. In any case, the K-factor will not be less than 13.
8.2.23 Derating of conventional transformers (if required) will be in accordance with IEEE Standard C57.10.
8.3 Circuit Breakers
8.3.1 Safety is of prime importance in breaker sizing. Loading power circuit breakers close to its 100% rating is not advisable. The circuit breaker will be sized to safely break the circuit under all cases of overload and fault conditions.
8.3.2 On new installations the short circuit capacity of the breakers and bus will take into consideration future system growth. System studies will be conducted to show future system growth capabilities.
8.3.3 Medium voltage circuit breakers have "nominal" MVA ratings for identification. The actual MVA at operating voltage is always less than the nominal rating. Published interrupting current only will be used.
8.3.4 600 Volts power circuit breakers are rated at 100% of their long time rating. It is recommended that when sizing a new breakers feeder it be sized for 100% of the breaker setting and the initial load be limited to 80%.
8.3.5 Main incoming breakers for radial substations fed directly at bus voltage may be omitted under any of the following conditions:
a. There is a load-break incoming switch. b. Manual transfer tripping of the source breaker is provided. c. The source breaker is in the same room.
8.3.6 Phase overcurrent relays or direct acting trip devices are required for all substation main secondary and incoming breakers to provide main bus fault protection. Ground fault overcurrent protection is also required for breakers of substations with low resistance or solidly grounded neutrals.
8.3.7 Circuit breakers, switches and contactors whose load side terminals can be energized when in the position from a source outside their own switchgear or control center assembly will be identified by a legible nameplate mounted on the front of their compartment.
8.3.8 Molded-case breakers used for branch circuit protection must have an interrupting rating of at least 90% of the theoretically available symmetrical fault current from all sources. The low-voltage motor contribution is calculated as:
- 53 -
0.9 x (motor locked rotor current) x (AC decrement)
If better data is unavailable, AC decrement will be calculated as follows:
Decrement = e -(1/2 cycle) / (time constant)
8.3.9 Circuit breakers feeding electronic load equipment will be either thermal- magnetic trip unit type or electronic trip unit type with true-RMS and peak sensing.
8.4 Buses
8.4.1 Standard bus bracing has increased over the years especially at the 480 volt level. For example 65,000 amp bracing is the norm now in MCCs while 22,000 amps was standard in years past. Bus bracing can be a safety issue so it is important to have some extra margin.
8.4.2 When adding load to existing busses both the added current and any increase in the short circuit level will be considered.
8.4.3 For buses between equipment of less than 1200 amps the cost of using cable or cable bus will be compared.
8.5 Cables
8.5.1 Feeders to busses and power transformers above 600 volts will be sized to withstand short circuit thermal stress without damage to the feeders. The maximum short circuit level of the supply and clearing time of the feeder protective device will be used to determine this condition. Cable at 600 V and below, and feeders to motors above 600 V, will not be increased in size because of short circuit duty.
8.5.2 Motor feeders will have an ampacity not less than 1.25 times the motor full load current and the minimum size will be 4 mm 2 (No. 12 AWG).
8.5.3 Lighting feeders feeding lighting panels will have an ampacity not less than the adjusted maximum demand of the load. The minimum size of branch feeder will be 4 mm 2 (No. 12 AWG).
8.5.4 Minimum conductor sizes will be determined based on permissive current, ambient temperature, grouping factor, installation method, voltage drop and available short-circuit current.
8.5.5 Power cables will be rated for 90C continuous conductor temperature, 130C emergency overload temperature, and 250C short-circuit temperature. A cable rated at these conditions can withstand 90C continuously as well as emergency overload of 130C for 100 hours in any - 54 -
given 12 months and not more than 500 hours for the entire life of the cable. The 250C short-circuit rating is the temperature of the conductor during a one second ground fault.
8.5.6 Cable ampacities will be based on the rated conductor temperature using the applicable tables and derating factors from the CEC. Where the CEC does not cover a specific application, such as with certain duct bank configurations, the IEEE/ICEA tables and associated methods of derating cables will be used. Required ampacities will be based on the following loading criteria:
Transformer feeders 125 percent of maximum transformer rating
Motor feeders 125 percent of motor full load current
Feeders to load centers 100 percent of full load current plus and MCCs 25 percent of the largest connected load current
Other individual load 125 percent of rated full load current feeders
8.5.7 Minimum acceptable conductor size will be as follows:
4.0 mm 2 for power (#12 AWG) 2.5 mm 2 for control (#14 AWG) 1.0 mm 2 for 24 volt systems (#18 AWG) 4.0 mm 2 for lighting (#12 AWG) 1.0 mm 2 for instrumentation (#18 AWG)
8.5.8 To provide a low impedance, high frequency bonding path plus electrostatic and electromagnetic shielding between the enclosed circuit conductors and other nearby conductors, cables will be specified with galvanized steel armour (Teck 90) sheath (the construction of metal-clad cable causes all circuit conductors to be tightly bundled together there by reducing the intensity of the magnetic field and self inductance leading to a lower voltage drop).
8.5.9 Cable construction will be as described below:
Insulation XLPE or PVC for 0 to 1,000 volts and EPR or XLPE for 1,000 volts to 35,000 volts Sheath-Steel Armour (aluminum armour is not acceptable) Shielding Overall shield for 25 kV power cables. Individual pairs and overall shield for instrumentation cables. - 55 -
Overall jacket PVC, sun and ozone resistant, flame retardant. Halogen free for tunnels.
8.5.10 Conductor phase identification is an important aspect of cable use and purchase. The colour coding of each cable and/or conductor will allows for the proper termination of cable and/or conductor on the correct termination point without the necessity of ringing-out each wire as it is terminated. This saves significant construction time and craft job hours. Colour coding will be specified as per CSA Standard C22.2 No. 131.
8.5.11 All cables utilizing #1 AWG and smaller conductors will be multi-conductor- jacketed cables. Cables #1/0 AWG through #4/0 AWG will be multi- conductor-jacketed cables. For conductors larger than #4/0 AWG, either three parallel conductors or triplex cable will be specified.
8.5.12 All cables except thermocouple and/or RTDs will be stranded. Thermocouple and/or RTD cables will be specified as solid conductors. Stranding provides flexibility to the cable needed to pull, bend and terminate it. Cables will be specified as Class B stranding. If extra flexibility is needed, Class C stranding will be considered.
8.5.13 All cables #1/0 AWG and larger will be specified with uncoated conductors to take advantage of cost savings, lower conductor resistance and lower cable weight.
8.5.14 Uncoated conductors whose ends (at the termination points) are exposed to the atmosphere will form copper-oxides that can be identified by their characteristic green coloration due to hydrogen sulphides and dull brown appearance. Since for small size wires (#16 AWG and smaller) this corrosion may be detrimental, these sizes will be specified as coated conductors. It should be noted that this is the normal cable manufacturer practice.
8.5.15 Cable bending radii will not be less than that recommended by the manufacturer.
8.5.16 The number of conductors to be provided in each control cable will be such that at least one spare conductor will be available for three conductors in use and two spare conductors will be available for four or more conductors in use. Motor control cables are an exception. Combination cables for motor power and control are acceptable.
8.6 Motor Control Centres and Switchboards
8.6.1 Motor control centers (MCC) are available with horizontal busses rated from 600 to 2500 amps and vertical busses from 300 to 1200 amps. 800 amp horizontal bus and 300 amp vertical bus are commonly specified so - 56 -
as not to concentrate too many motors on one bus. Front mounted only MCCs come with 300 amp vertical bus standard while back-to-back MCCs are normally supplied with 600 amp bus as standard. Most manufactures supply 65,000 amp minimum bus bracing as standard.
8.6.2 Motor control centres consisting of assemblies of combination starters are preferred. When the starter is withdrawn from its stationary enclosure, the line side will be disconnected. Consideration will be given to mounting motor control centres on 100 mm (4 in.) channel iron sections (or concrete sill) to ensure that there is adequate space at the bottom for wiring and conduit seals; however, with the use of non-explosion-proof seals (compound bushings), the additional space is likely not needed.
8.6.3 Manually operated air-break starters locally mounted near motors and supplied from separate circuit breakers are acceptable only for fractional horsepower, single-phase motors in service where tripping on under- voltage is not desired. Manual starters will be located in sight of and near the motor in a position providing safe and convenient operation.
8.6.4 Motor starter circuit breakers will be rated to interrupt or safely close on the system fault current.
8.6.5 Motor starter will be capable of interrupting motor locked rotor current.
8.6.6 An individual circuit breaker will be provided for each motor controlled by a starter. An exception is that a common circuit breaker may be used to supply starters for two or more motors under the following conditions, provided that use of the common circuit breaker does not reduce the flexibility of maintenance or operation:
a. Where a number of motors drive several parts of a single machine or piece of apparatus. b. Where a number of motors not critical to process operations, each not exceeding 0.75 kW (1 hp), are under the protection of the circuit breaker. c. Where a number of motor operated valves not critical to process operations with built-in starters are located in the same general location. d. Terminal boxes and similar distribution points used to supply multiple motors from a single feeder will be mounted in an accessible location and clearly labeled to identify each motor supplied from that point.
8.6.7 All motor control centers will be specified as class 1 type B with type enclosures.
- 57 -
8.6.8 Switchboards and panelboards that directly serve electronic load equipment will be specified as specifically listed for non-linear loads or at least heavy duty with oversized neutral and ground bus to accommodate increased neutral currents due harmonic currents from non-linear electronic load equipment. As a minimum, the neutral bus will be rated 1.73 times the main bus phase current rating and will be insulated from the panelboard enclosure.
8.6.9 Switchboards and panelboards will be installed as close to the electronic load equipment as possible and will be bonded to the same ground reference as the electronic load equipment.
8.6.10 Where switchboards and panelboards supply single-phase non-linear electronic load equipment, the ampacity of phase conductors will be adjusted to 80% (to account for the triplen harmonic currents flowing on the neutral conductor) and the corresponding overcurrent protective device will be rated accordingly. Associated terminals and lugs will be specified to accommodate the larger phase conductors and neutral conductors.
8.7 Motor Starters
8.7.1 Medium voltage starters
8.7.1.1 There are two basic types of MV starters, EEMAC type E1 and E2. E1 starters are circuit breakers and are generally used for 3730 kW and larger motors. E2 starters are fused contactors (open and vacuum) rated at 400 and 800 amps and are generally specified for motors less than 3730 kW. There is no requirement for MV starters on this project.
8.7.2 Low Voltage Starters
8.7.2.1 An EEMAC motor starter is horsepower rated, but only for normal duty. If a motor is frequently started and stopped, used in plugging duty, or has a high inertia load it may be necessary to use a larger than normal starter. Starters for rapidly cycling equipment will be sized for jogging duty.
8.7.2.2 The minimum selected size will be size one. Size one starters are generally the smallest size starters used in process plants and industrial environment. The difference in cost between size 1 and 0 is too small to justify use of size 0.
8.7.2.3 Generally 150 kW will be the maximum size motor used at 575 volts. A 187 kW motor can cause excessive voltage drops on 600-volt busses when starting. Also the cable size - 58 -
is larger and starter costs are generally greater than for medium voltage motors.
8.8 Motors
8.8.1 Motors are sized by the driven equipment suppliers, but the motor specification will address how fully loaded a motor may run.
8.8.2 A motors power factor and efficiency are highest at three-quarters to full load. A motors life is greatly reduced by overloading. Motors generally are sized to run at 85% to 100% of full load with the service factor not used. It is common for the motors to be capable of running a pump with the next larger size impeller and at the furthest point on the curve. This can cause a pump motor to run lightly loaded. Load factors of 0.6 to 0.8 are common under these circumstances. The sizing criteria will be coordinated with Mechanical.
8.8.3 Motors used with solid-state drives need to be carefully coordinated with the drive supplier. They will be supplied together. This is because of the added heating caused by the harmonics of the drive system and loss of cooling due to reduced fan speed. This is a particular concern where motors are installed in hazardous areas.
8.8.4 Induction motors will be suitable for full voltage on line starting. Motors larger than 188 kW will have provision for differential protection relay (current transformer mounted within the terminal box).
8.8.5 Motors will generally be the squirrel-cage-induction type that are designed for full voltage starting, except where the specific application dictates otherwise. Generally, 600 V motors will be totally enclosed fan-cooled. Weather-protected NEMA Type II enclosures will be provided for all outdoor medium voltage motors.
8.8.6 Motors will be rated for continuous operation at full load, 1.0 service factor, and at least a Class F insulation with a Class B temperature rise. Motors may be stamped as 1.15 service factor as long as (maximum) brake horsepower requirements do not exceed the 1.0 service factor rating.
8.8.7 Motors will produce starting torque to accelerate the connected machine to rated speed at 90% of motor nameplate voltage rating without any thermal or other damages.
8.8.8 As a minimum, motors located outdoors and rated 67 kW or larger will be furnished with space heaters that are automatically energized when the motor is idle.
- 59 -
All medium voltage motors will be equipped with RTDs embedded in the stator windings. All 600 Volt motors rated 50 kW and higher will be equipped with a thermistor embedded in stator windings.
8.8.9 Full voltage starting will be used for all motors providing the following conditions are met:
a. For motors having infrequent starting, the voltage drop during starting will not exceed values, which would cause any of the following: Prevent the motors starter from remaining closed successfully during starting. Cause starters of other motors to chatter or drop out. Cause other motors to stall. b. For motors starting more frequently than once per hour, the voltage at the bus supplying the motors does not drop below 90% of the system nominal voltage when these motors start individually. c. For motors having infrequent starting, the voltage at the bus supplying the motors does not drop below 80% of the nominal system voltage when the motors are started individually. d. The motor maximum permissible stall time is not to be exceeded when accelerating the driven equipment. e. Relays can be set to protect the motor and its feeder and to permit selective settings of upstream relays.
8.8.10 Re-acceleration will be provided for motors essential to the operation of the process. Re-acceleration in more than one step may be required due to system voltage drop restrictions.
8.8.11 Single-phase motors driving services defined as critical will not be supplied form lighting panel boards.
8.9 Adjustable Speed Drives
Solid-state variable frequency adjustable speed drives may have limited overload capacity. The soft-start feature limits motor starting current to 100 to 125 percent. Large drives and motors are often purchased from one supplier to ensure compatibility and correct sizing. There is usually not a problem applying adjustable speed drives to CEMA frame motors with a 1. 15 SF and CEMA A or B torque characteristic (100 hp and smaller).
8.10 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
8.10.1 UPS like all solid state devices have limited short circuit and overload capabilities. In most UPS systems however this is not a problem since - 60 -
they usually supply instrument loads. UPS will be sized initially for loading at no more than 80% of capacity (125% of normal present plus future planned loads) since they support important security, reliability and safety of loads. Short time peak loads will be limited to 90% of system capacity.
8.10.2 The neutrals will be oversized to handle loads where harmonics are present.
8.10.3 Transient voltage depressions to 80% of rated supply voltage will not affect the performance of the equipment.
8.10.4 The rectifier will be a static power converter, constant voltage, and current limiting full wave thyristor controlled converter.
8.10.5 Cooling will be by natural circulation. The converter will be equipped with output filters allowing for load to be supplied without exceeding limits for ripple when the batteries are disconnected.
8.10.6 Rectifier control circuits will monitor the output voltage and maintain a constant preset voltage output under float or boost conditions. Control will also prevent against overloading.
8.10.7 The rated output current of the rectifier will equal the inverter load plus the battery charger current allowing for 80% capacity in 8 hours from a discharged condition.
8.10.8 During transient input voltage depressions of up to 20% of nominal voltage, rectifier output value will be such that will prevent battery discharge. 8.10.9 There will be provisions for on-line adjustment of the set values of float charge voltage by access to the relevant control circuit card.
8.10.10 The inverter will not exceed a frequency deviation of 0.5 Hz with a source limit of 1.0 Hz. With stabilized input, source inverter output will not exceed 0.5 Hz per second rate of change.
8.11 Batteries and Battery Chargers
8.11.1 Existing batteries from Preston Substation will be used for the control of 25 kV switchgear.
8.11.2 Batteries will be installed in a room or enclosure accessible only to authorized personnel.
8.11.3 Batteries will not be subjected to ambient temperature greater than 45C or less than the freezing point of the electrolyte or 10C whichever is less.
- 61 -
8.11.4 Sufficient ventilation will be provided to prevent an accumulation of hydrogen, during charging, to less than 2% by volume in the room air at any time. Calculations will be in accordance with IEEE Std. 484.
8.11.5 A typical figure for natural room ventilation will be assumed as 2.5 air changes per hour.
8.11.6 In the absence of Vendor data for gas generation rate of battery and float current in amperes, it will be assumed that: One (1) ampere-hour of overcharge breaks down 0.366 cm 3 of water. One (1) cm 3 of water produces 1.865 liters of gas in the proportion of two-third (2/3) hydrogen and one-third (1/3) oxygen. Thus one (1) ampere-hour of overcharge produces 0.45 liters of hydrogen. Therefore, the volume of hydrogen evolved from a battery per hour equals number of cells multiplied by charge current multiplied by 0.45 liters or number of cells multiplied by charge current multiplied by 0.00045 m 3 .
8.12 Standby (Emergency) Generator
8.12.1 Standby generator intended for use with electronic load equipment will be specified to meet IEEE Standard 446 requirements.
8.12.2 Standby generator systems generally have much higher impedance than the utility system and therefore, voltage waveform distortion typically increases when loads are fed by the standby generator power. Standby generator when supplying non-linear loads, will be specified to have the following characteristics to minimize adverse interactions: Isochronous electronic governor to regulate frequency. These governors typically maintain frequency regulation within 0.25% of the setting as opposed to approximately 3% for mechanical governors. Permanent magnet excitation system or filtering means to isolate the voltage regulator power circuit from the distorted waveform. Generator with ? pitch stator winding design to minimize third harmonic waveform distortion. Low subtransient reactance to minimize voltage waveform distortion.

9.0 SYSTEM STUDIES
9.1 General
9.1.1 System studies will be performed to verify proper design of electrical power systems and equipment for new facilities and major additions to existing facilities.
9.1.2 Short circuit calculations will indicate that all distribution equipment is suitable for continuous operation at full load and will be capable of withstanding thermal and electromagnetic forces due to short circuit and fault conditions.
9.2 Short Circuit Analysis
9.2.1 A Short Circuit Study will be performed to cover three phase, single line to ground, line to line, and line to line to ground faults in time frames of first cycle, one to four cycles and 30 cycles. The Short Circuit Study will focus on:

9.2.2 Short circuit studies will be performed assuming the maximum ultimate transient fault-current availability or minimum ultimate source impedance.
9.2.3 The maximum short-circuit current will be limited to a value no greater than 95 percent (90 percent during preliminary design) of the fault current rating at the point of common coupling assuming the following conditions:
Maximum system voltage (at contingency levels)
Maximum system fault MVA
Transformer impedance reduced by ANSI allowable tolerances
Motor fault contribution of motors that could possibly be running simultaneously
Facility loads at maximum expected value
9.2.4 Values obtained from worst-case analysis will be used to size and purchase electrical equipment. - 63 -
9.2.5 Unless load flow analysis or actual system operating practices dictates differently, all transformer tap settings will be assumed to be at the mid- point.
9.3 Voltage Regulation
9.3.1 Electrical equipment is designed for optimum operation at its nominal nameplate voltage. Any deviation from this rated voltage can result in decreased efficiency, damaged electronic equipment, and severely reduced life of electrical control and utilization equipment.
9.3.2 The allowable limits of voltage regulation will be as follows:
The voltage at the terminals of motors will be within 10 percent of the motor rated voltage, under steady-state operating conditions.
The voltage at the terminals of any single motor while it is starting will be at least 80 percent of the motor rated voltage. The largest motor connected to the bus under consideration will be assumed to start with all other motors running.
The transient voltage on running motors while another motor is starting will be at least 75 percent of motor rated voltage.
9.3.3 Voltage regulation studies will consider the following conditions:
Condition 1 - Establishing Minimum Bus Voltages Minimum system voltage (at contingency levels) Facility load at maximum expected value Transformer impedances increased by ANSI allowable tolerances
Condition 2 - Establishing Maximum Bus Voltages Maximum system voltage Facility load at minimum value (e.g., before initial startup) Transformer impedances decreased by ANSI allowable tolerances
9.3.4 Steady-state and transient voltage analysis will be performed to ensure that proper operating voltage is maintained (inadequate voltage may affect the performance of electronic load equipment such as operational problems, synchronization problem or risk equipment damage.
- 64 -
9.3.5 Design assumptions:
Actual system data and constraints will be used to calculate voltages. Steady-state voltages will be evaluated at maximum, normal, and minimum. The maximum voltage on each circuit will be calculated assuming that all motor loads are disconnected and in the case of a double- ended substation that both transformer banks are operational and the bus-tie circuit breaker and/or switch is in its normal state. The normal voltage of each circuit will be calculated based on the maximum operating loads. The minimum voltage of each circuit will be calculated based on the normal operating load plus the operating load of the largest spare (standby) motor if the spare motor is not interlocked to prevent starting while the primary motor is running. Voltage drop calculations will be based on the minimum short circuit level of the supply.
9.4 Motor Starting Study
9.4.1 Motor Starting Study will be completed using both static and dynamic motor starting models to cover:
Assessment of motor starting capability. Determinations of bus voltage drop. Identification of assisted starting requirements (capacitor assisted starting, reduced voltage starting, soft start, etc.) if required. Transformer tap adjustments so as not to exceed the limits of voltage drops.
9.5 Load Flow study
A Load Flow Study will be performed to:
Identify equipment overload conditions (normal and contingency operation). Identify steady state voltage problem areas (bus voltage profiles). Select optimum transformer tap adjustments. Identify poor power factor (branch power factors). Identify system losses (current power flow & feeder capacity).
- 65 -
9.6 Protective device Co-ordination
9.6.1 Relay and protective devices will be selected and co-coordinated to provide a system that permits the interrupting device nearest to a fault to operate first.
9.6.2 The design will be validated by a comprehensive coordination study.
9.6.3 Relay and fuse co-ordination studies will be performed to include all protection time/current characteristic devices from the largest single protective device connected to the low voltage main distribution bus (600 V), up to and including the incoming power supply protective devices (25 kV).
9.6.4 Existing protective device settings for 480 V main feeders will be reviewed and verified for correctness of settings and to identify possible mis- coordinations and areas where coordination can be improved.
9.7 Harmonic Analysis
9.7.1 Calculation or estimation of load harmonic profiles is a necessary requirement for all power distribution systems intended to supply electronic load equipment, to comply with IEEE standard 519 and 399.
9.7.2 Based on project requirements, a harmonic load flow study will be executed to calculate the fundamental voltage and current and the load data from the harmonic source. The load flow report will be reviewed to ensure that the system is operating properly at 60 Hz.
9.7.3 Alternatively, harmonic profiles of load currents will be measured and recorded at required locations and appropriate mitigation measures recommended.
