The temperature rise in MCPs shall not be allowed to damage the components,
connectors, wires, terminals etc. With the equipment in normal service condition, no
live part shall become subjected to high temperature causing overheating that increases
the risk of internal arcing accidents.
10
All cable entries shall be affected using brass cable glands to IP rating as specified.

12
All motor control panels shall be equipped with Class II surge protective devices as
-Voltage Electrical Power
-disconnect switch shall be integrated within or
13
Contractor shall provide proper interface with BMS as required in the mechanical
specifications and/or shown on drawings. Contractor to coordinate with BMS provider
for proper interface.
Feeder Pillars
Description: this work shall consist of supplying, complete with the necessary base,
mounting, testing and putting into satisfactory operation of feeder pillars which shall
generally be used to feed electrical lighting and other installations as required.
Construction: the feeder pillar shall be totally enclosed fully self-contained dust-proof,
weather proof and suitable for mounting outdoors exposed to dust, rain and sunlight.
The enclosure shall have a minimum rating of IP55.
Characteristics: the feeder pillar shall be complete with all equipment and fittings as
shown on the drawings.
Contactors: shall be triple-pole, inductive type, rating shall be as shown on the drawings
and in compliance with the specifications.
Timers: are to be electronic timer (Quartz) type. The timer shall be capable to operate
without interruption in case of power supply failure for at least 500 hrs.

Busbars: are to be fully insulated, rated at least 1.25 times the main incoming moulded
case circuit breakers frame size at 50 deg. C.
10
Internal Cabling: to be PVC/PVC single core 1000 volt grade with copper conductors
and rated as required taking into account manufacturers recommended temperature and
"bunching" derating factors. All internal wiring shall be suitably "laced" or clipped.
11
Control: the LV panel circuits serving the street lighting shall be supplied through triple
pole contactors which shall be photo-electric controlled. An over-ride facility shall be
provided for maintenance. The photo-electric controls shall consist of an omnidirectional cadmium cell thermal relay of high quality employing solid state photovariable conductance elements giving a 2:1 on/off ratio with sensitivity to switch on
lights when the daylight illumination reduces to 70 lux. The cell shall be pole mounted
at a height of three meters and fitted to the top of the feeder pillar. A standby electric
clock operated timer and a manually operated change-over switch, shall also be
provided to permit standby operation.
12
Permanently fixed to the Inside of the door there shall be a distribution diagram
showing all circuit connections, cable sizes and references, etc.
13
Feeder Pillars: shall have a 50mm x 6 mm high conductivity copper main earth bar for
grounding purposes complete with test link (see "earthing section"). Also, permanently
fixed to the inside of the door there shall be a distribution diagram showing all circuit
connections, MCCB ratings, cable sizes and references, etc.
14
Feeder Pillar: shall be secured against unauthorized access by means of wedge locks
protected by brass plugs and operated by a special key to be agreed with the Engineer or
as applied by the local authority. The final finish and final colour of the pillar shall be
to the approval of the Engineer.
