D. Control and Secondary Wiring

1. THW wire used by the Contractor shall be machine-tool-type with not less than 3/64 inch polyvinyl
chloride insulation and rated at 600 volts, 90°C. Asbestos-varnished-cambric covered wire, or wire
with insulation having characteristics which equal or exceed the electrical and mechanical
characteristics of the machine-tool-type wire is acceptable. Only stranded wires of adequate current-
carrying capacity shall be used in the apparatus. However, in no case shall stranded wire smaller than
No. 12 AWG be used.
2. Ring-tongue terminals shall be used for control and secondary wiring. Spade, slotted spade, flanged
spade, and hook terminals are not acceptable. Ring-tongue terminals shall be sufficiently strong to
prevent their breakage under conditions of vibration inherent in the equipment in which they are
installed. AMO Diamond Grip or AMP Solistrand ring-tongue terminals distributed by American
Pamcor Incorporated (API), and Burndy Hylug terminals are typical of the type of terminals desired by
the Purchaser. These or other Purchaser-approved terminals are acceptable. Terminals shall have
insulated ferrules whenever the spacing between the terminals, or their projection above or below a
terminal board, or other, is such that they can make contact with one another. To insure positive
electrical connections, and to avoid damage to the ferrule, it is mandatory that the proper crimping tool
be used for each wire size. Ring-tongue terminals shall be fastened to the contact strips of terminal
boards with machine screws. Barriers shall separate the contact strips.
3. Terminal blocks furnished by the Contractor shall have No. 10 screws which screw directly into the
threaded contact strips. The contact strips shall have sufficient thickness to insure that torque applied
to the No. 10 screws to hold the terminal lugs to the contact strips will not damage the threads in the
tapped holes. The screws shall not bottom out in the terminal block, nor shall the terminal block be
provided with imbedded captive nuts. The contact strips shall be separated by insulated barriers.
General Electric Type EB-25 terminal blocks or approved equal are acceptable.
4. The secondary leads of all taps of all current transformers shall be carried to shorting-type terminal
blocks. All leads and corresponding terminals on the terminal blocks shall be identified. The terminal
blocks shall be mounted in the control cabinet. General Electric Type EB-27 shorting terminal blocks
or approved equal are acceptable.
5. Where required, relays shall be of the rear connected, self-enclosed type. Where 115/230 VAC circuits
are employed, current limiting circuit breakers are preferred for electrical protection. If knife switches
or fuse blocks are used, physical protection for personnel to prevent contact with the 115/230 volt
circuits is required. The circuits, no matter how electrically protected, shall maintain a "visible open"
capability. Alternating current supply to breaker control cabinet shall enter at top of terminal block
with loads on lower terminals. Conduit will be galvanized rigid. PVC conduit is not acceptable.
