{width="6.658333333333333in" height="1.75in"}

 

• TO CALCULATE HORIZONTAL LENGTHS, GO TO ACCUBID AND COPY ALL UNIT SUBFEEDS INTO AN EXCEL BLANK PG.

 

EX//

{width="4.616666666666666in" height="2.341666666666667in"}

 

• GET THE TOTAL LENGTH OF ALL SUBFEED AND IN EXCEL AT THE BOTTOM RIGHT GET THE AVERAGE, THEN ROUND UP. TYPE IT INTO HORIZ LENGTH.

• FOR THE VERTICAL LENGHTS, START AT THE LAST LEVEL WITH AN AVERAGE OF 20, THEN ADD 10 MORE TO EACH FLOOR GOING DOWN, EX. BLDG HAS 7 FLOORS, START WITH 20 AT LEVEL 7 THEN ADD 10 AT LEVEL 6 TO GIVE IT A TOTAL OF 30, THEN 5TH FLOOR AT 10 TO GIVE IT 40 AND SO FORTH.

COMMON ASSEMBLIES -> LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS -> CO DETECTION ->

Typically use #3 3/4" Conduit with EMT Drop 100' for the CO devices

Typically use #6 for the VFD/Fan

These will be allocated in the LV-CO System System in accubid

2. SER (Romex Cables) - ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

3. PVC (Conduit) - Feeding wires through the concrete floors

[Manually Input Adders]{.mark}

When Completely Lost

• Look Through Enlarged Drawings

• Check Unit Panels

• Check Panel Schedules

• Look Through Riser Drawings

General

• Corner Every Turn

• AVOID: Stairwells, Columns, Elevators, & Trash shoots

• $$$ Copper

• MC/SER/PVC/EMT = Follow Corridors

• Even if a unit has homeruns still need subfeeds

a. 6,000A SWG (T.O. 4K + 2K SWG)  You can add the 4000A section + a 2000A section or you can look at the difference in labor between a 2000 and 4000A and then add an item that is just distribution labor and put that item into the assembly. Either method works.

 

1. Meter Center: Distribution: use the average count of individual meters for all meter centers and create it based on Distribution Panel. EX. 85 METERS, CHOOSE 8 METER STACK CHANGE FACTOR TO 10, CHOOSE METER STACK 5 ONE FACTOR AND ERASE ALL OTHER STACKS. FOR THE TERMS PICK AVERAGE OF UNIT PANELS, EX. 125A THEN FACTOR AS MANY UNITS ON THAT METER CENTER, EX ABOVE 85.

   a. Located in Switchgear & Meter Centers>Meter Centers>(Pick the Appropriate Metering Section)

   b. In Measure Takeoff with the Average meters, using the meter stacks, get to the average count of the meter stack

   c. Erase the stacks that it's not used.

   d. 11-30-21. Be sure to add the terminations from the Load Center to the Meters. Sub feeds only cover the side of the panel. When doing this, just use an average number of amp size.

   e. Make sure you go to Distribution Accessories: Terminations - Power> Wire Size (Based on Avg Subfeed Wire Size.)

• Found in Riser

• Accubid setup: For Generator (Area: Generator, Bldg, Gen., Bldg)

• Create Distribution - "Building" -> Then Look up the kind of generator being used (ex. "Gen 500kW Diesel")

  • 17.(1-4).___  --> OK  --> Add Generator Set Up + a Termination

    • Convert kW to amps for the termination

• Other equipment "Area" will be wherever it is located and the System will be Switchgear

• Disconnect -> CA.27.5.__   --> NEMA1 is interior, NEMA 3R is exterior

• Can copy FP Controller and SPD from the ASSEMBLIES job in accubid

• TVSS aka Source Protection Device (SPD)

• ATS -> Transfer switch -> 3PH (based on schedule). If it is not found on the schedule, use the one closest to it (Create->18.(1-2).__)

• Switchgear -> Create -> 3.2.__

  • Make sure to pay attention to the wires for the panel (3 or 4), as well as the # of circuits in the panel (Ex. 42 or 84).

  • Then add the terminations needed. (EX. In a 200A 42ckt PNL with multiple circuits of 20/30/60A, I would add 20/35/60A Terminations. Again, based on the schedule and will need to look at the phase that is needed.

    • When adding the terminations, take a roundabout average so this could be used in the future on this project

• Transformer --> 27.3.__

  • Will need to pick the last one dependent on what the riser calls for on the particular transformer. Seems like we will typically pick the Pad Mount, but make sure moving forward on other projects

• Double check on how to find the "Meter Base"

• Meter Center -> Dist. -> 2.12.__

  • Figure out the meter stack being used and then delete the others.

  • Then add the terminations (Single Phase) needed via the USF

  • Does not need to be exactly based on the amount of USF but an average.

• Wireway -> ID.16.27.3

• Hilti can support EMT Vertical sleeves

 

ROUTING FOR GARAGE FEEDS

• All buildings have a Garage as the first floor. I just wanted to double-check the routing of the feeders that go up multiple floors -- routing looks good to me. Squared off and don't have any ramps. I am going to add some trapeze systems for these to help support them going through the garage. I use Common Assemblies #59, then I typically always use ½" bc its normally for larger conduits, then I do the 8' o/c spacing the support every 8'. Then use from concrete or steel depending on the structure. Then it gives you sizing which I can show you at a later date in more detail how to calculate.

Feedback for Feeders

Missed terminations on secondaries

Wrong calc of terminations when building feeders (sets x #conductors x 2), missed on all feeders.

Wrong manhole, always note said "coordinate w/ civil" need to check. Used 5x9x6', drwgs calls for 8x16x10', also missed 2 on takeoff

Going forward check for overall drawings to do the measurements ilo connecting sections

How to calculate pull boxes.

 

Try always use standard box sizes (4", 6", 8", 10", 12", 16", 20", 24" all by the same size HxW), then the large has to be 8 times the size of the conduit if goes straight or 6 times if goes angle.

 

 

{width="6.416666666666667in" height="2.6in"}

 

Example:

for a run of (4)4"

 

With a separation of 3" in between both sides, it will be 3+4+3+4+3 = 17 but since the next standard is 20" you will use 20"x20"

and large will be:

if straight 4" times 8, so: 20x20x32 

if angle 4" times 6, so 20x20x24

• Mod Outlet = clippy things on back

• Module, F Connector SCTE Compliant =  twist connector for coax (tv)

• F Connector RG-6  = Tube that connects to f connector

• Faceplate - look for G to determine number of ports

• Rest is rough in material

 

IF YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE NUMBER OF PORTS

• Delete the data, voice, or tv you don't need

  • TV connectors too

• Bump up the mod outlet to the number of ports

• Make sure the face plate has the correct mod

• Modify the fct 1 of your cbl to have the correct cnt

  • Ex: if you had 200' each of data, voice, and tv

  • You want 3 data ports instead

  • Make the fct 1 of the blu cbl 600 to account for the loss in length from the voice and tv

  • Want to keep the same total length as og assembly (600)
