1 Design Approaches for Hospital Distribution Systems With Considerations for Future Expansion, Operator Safety, and Cost Adam T. Powell, PE President Emerald Engineering, Inc. Jeffrey L. Small, Sr. Senior Specification Engineer GE Industrial Solutions October 12, 215
2 Quick Rundown: Selective Coordination: The Basics Arc Flash: The Basics Coordination vs. Arc Flash Who Wins & Why? Opportunities for Compromise System Growth Over Time What Can We Do? Equipment Selections & Specs Selectivity & Equipment Limitations Design Rules of Thumb Simple System Examples Things to Remember A Vendor s Perspective Frequent Oversights & Considerations
3 Selective Coordination: The Basics Concepts Regions of the Curve / LSI Thermal Magnetic LV Fuses Generators GFI Transformers Motors
4 Example #1: Basic Concepts
5 Example #2: Curve Regions / LSI
6 Example #3: Thermal Magnetics
7 Example #4: LV Fuses
8 Example #5: Simple Genset
9 Example #6: Ground-Fault
10 Example #7: Dry-Type Transformer
11 Example #8: Motors
12 Arc Flash: The Basics Concepts Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) NFPA 7E Incident Energy Mitigation Methods
13 Arc Flash: The Basics An Arc Flash occurs during a fault, or short circuit condition, which passes through this arc gap. The Arc Flash can be initiated through accidental contact, equipment which is underrated for the available short circuit current, contamination or tracking over insulated surfaces, deterioration or corrosion of equipment and, or parts, as well as other causes. An Arc Flash event can expel large amounts of deadly energy. The arc causes an ionization of the air, and arc flash temperatures can reach as high as 35, degrees Fahrenheit. This is hotter than the surface of the sun. -GE Industrial Solutions
14 Before:
15 After:
16 Example #9: Simple 1-Line
17 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
18 Incident Energy Incident Energy measured on a surface at a specified working distance from the arc flash location Measured in cal/cm 2 Factors include: Available Fault Current System Impedance Protective Device Settings & Clearing Times
19 Coordination vs. Arc Flash: Who Wins, and Why? Selective Coordination Often Comes at the Expense of Arc Flash Hazard. Short Time, Short Time Delay, and Instantaneous Settings Drastically Impact Incident Energies at the Buss(es) Downstream of the Protective Device. Tendency to Set Breakers to Max in Healthcare Applications As long as it coordinates Limiting the Impact of a Fault and Clearing it are Priority What are the Implications? Is there a Middle Ground? Revisiting Example #9

21 Example #9 Labels
22 Example #1: Revised Settings
23 Example #1 Labels
24 System Growth Over Time What Can We Do? System Sprawl What can Design Professionals do to Limit the Cost, Safety, and Reliability Impact of Future Renovations? Gear Provisions that Make Sense Specify Exactly What You Want Leave Room to Coordinate Design Rules of Thumb for LSI & Thermal Mag Leave Room to Limit Arc Flash Hazard
25 Gear Provisions that Make Sense Subfeed Lugs Front-Hinged Door Adequate Lug Sizes Inadequate Lug Sizes Frequently don t Present Until Submittals or Later Often too Late Contractors: Make the Vendor Own the 1- Line in Addition to the Panel Schedules and Specs. Sufficient Prepared Space for Future
