1. INTRODUCTION
This guide serves as an instruction for electrical installers/contractors in order to ensure that their products (services, supplied work and equiment) meet quality requirements of Wrtsil NSD /Power Plants. As safe operation, reliability and availability of any power plant installation is strongly dependant of the quality of integrated electrical systems, Wrtsil NSD require any such systems to meet qualifications defined in this document so as to be able to take full commitment for power production systems vs designed criteria. The guide is a complement to the technical specification and purchase order, guide giving general information and guidelines that contribute to the quality of the electrification and which the installer/contractor must be aware of. However, the invitation for tender and contract or order specification will determine the scope of delivery and define the main principles for installation, tests, certificates and other requirements.

2. SCOPE OF SUPPLY
Wrtsil NSD, here later referred to as WNS, is engineering and supplying electricity and heat producing power plants based on WNSmade reciprocative internal combustion engines for the world market. WNS supply may comprise any scope from engines alone to turnkey power plants including maintenance and operation of these. The electrical installation (including automation, safety and telecommunication system installation) included within the WNS scope of supply is purchased from a reliable local or international contractor. In specific cases plant owner will himself do or contract the installer to perform the installation, with or without WNS-supervision. In either case the installation and included equipment should meet local authority requirements, contracted client requirements and these normative WNS requirements. Sub-Contractors contracted to perform civil works, electrical installations are here later referred to as civil contractor (sub-contractor) and Contractor (electrical C. if not clear by the context) or Subcontractor.

2.2. Scope
In general the contractor will carry out the complete or specified portion of the electrical installation performance including unpacking, hauling, erection (including interconnection of assembly sections) and installation of equipment delivered by WNS and basic tests of installed equipment. Normal practice has to be followed. If an item, a work is mentioned in one of the documents, it is considered valid without repetition in other documents for which it is applicable. The contractor is committed to have hold of any authority licences, skills and capacities required for the contracted proportions of work and equipment. He is also to have union and similar acceptance which is needed to ensure troblefree utilisation of his labour force. He must inform his workers to be fully aware of safety and other regulations generally valid and of those specific for this worksite and of risk factors when they are arising. All his workforce must be in confriction free cooperation with Clients and Wrtsil NSDs site management and supervisors and with other contractors labour forces. Cooperation must be such that risks and delays, poor utilisation of skilled workforce and hired machines and unavailing exposition to extreme temperatures, wet and dirty conditions etc. can be avoided. The contractor bears full responsibility for making all necessary applications incorporated within the contracted scope, arranging for tests, inspections and obtaining permits needed (authorities and plant operator) in respect of the contract. He is also responsible to check that all required drawings needed for the installation works are available and make requests for needed additions or modifications in good time before the specific installation work is started. The contractor will himself arrange any temporary scaffoldings, tools and testing equipment etc. needed for the electrical installation works. This is with exception for special tools required for specific items which are arranged to be at disposal by Wrtsil NSD. He shall on his own cost himself or in cooperation with the civil contractor together provide, erect, maintain, dismantle and clear away at completion internal and external scaffoldings so that no signs can be seen of cleared off arrangements. The exact scope of supply shall be stated in the tender or agreed upon in a contract. Following sections are describing the principles of three main alternatives, but any other scope may as well be agreed upon. There shall also be principles agreed for pricing performances, services and equipment needed but exceeding contracted scope of supply and for how such supplements are ordered. In general contractors shall arrange or assist in arranging modification, repair and additional work and equipment needed locally. Such additional work or equipment shall be based on written orders or accepted offers including the prices.

document and in the contract. He will be doing so using his own tools (except for equipment specific tools) and providing capacity; skilled as required manpower of the amount as needed for proceeding as scheduled and as required by constructional and other area works. He will also control and manage his workforce by having a experienced, cooperative foreman located at this site for the time required until all his tasks are fulfilled. All engines, machines and auxiliary units are generally assembled, fully installed with built-on local control / distribution panels and operationally tested at suppliers premises before being shipped to the construction site. Thus this equipment is as site to be connected to power supplies and to centralized supervisory control and monitoring systems mainly. Engine panels and central control panels as also some separate local panel are to be hauled in and installed with all connecting cables. Larger Wrtsil NSD -supplied switch/distributionboards and medium voltage switchgear is to be installed by the electrical contractor who reconnects transportation segments to form the operable assembly before cable connections are built. HPAC equipment, cranes, boilers etc. are installed mechanically by other contractors to have their mainswitch/ distribution - junctionbox with interconnecting and supply cables installed by the electrical contractor. Other systems are mainly installed by mounting and connecting delivered separate appliances the traditional way.

3. QUALITY REQUIREMENTS
Any equipment delivered to be installed and any working methods used are to be fit for the heavy conditions and power station requirements. Design, materials, components, installation and tests are to be in accordance with the appropriate codes, standards (latest edition) and local requirements, unless otherwise stated in contractual documents. Quality level in accordance with ISO 9001 is to be fulfilled as to all deliveries, works and functions connected to the project. Every part of the undertakement is to be based on qualified electrical engineering practice and performed with good workmanship. Reference is made to the following codes, standards, etc; - International Electrotechnical Comission (IEC) - International Standard Organization (ISO) - in European projects CEN/CENELEC (EN-standards) and EC directives - National (local) and utility standards and regulations All components included within the scope are to be of approved and reliable design, high extent of uniformity and interchangibility is to be achieved. The design shall facilitate easy maintenance and repair of the components. The equipment is preassembled to highest reasonable extent in the manufacturers, contractors or sub-contractors workshop, e.g. wiring of boards, panels, desks etc., including installation of internal components is readymade. All switchboards and panels supplied complies with IEC 439-1: Low Voltage Switchgear and Control Gear Assemblies. Panels installed in dedicated electrical or control rooms have a degree of protection corresponding to at least IP2X, panels outside electrical rooms at least IP54. Local control and distribution panels are generally to meet WNS Quality Instruction 4V50L3683 requirements. If the contractor, as an alternative, offer design, materials, components etc complying with other recognized codes and standards, he will submit full details of any difference provided they affect the design or performance of the equipment. The electrical Contractor is also obligated to engage workmen which have sufficient skills required for specific work tasks. He must himself train, guide and conduct his workforce to perform any forthcoming tasks so that the work will not endanger supplied equipment nor jeopardize the final quality of the work performed. Take over inspections are performed with reference to revised documents and to this instruction. This inspection is performed as the contractor has conveyed a written announcment regarding finished installations to the Site Manager and the plant has been successfully started up.
Rw@is"#@sq!)))!"0"#
If some item is not acceptable, but will require renewed inspection when repaired, this inspection and all expenses caused thereby are defrayed by the contractor. The contractor will remain responsable for any fault and defect which is detected on his delivery during the guarantee period even if they are not noticed during the take over inspection.

4.1. Organisation
Wrtsil NSDs Site Manager has the mandate of supreme authority regarding any local concern of Wrtsil NSDs contracts. He is reporting to Wrtsil NSDs Project Manager who has the financial as well as tecnological responsibility of the total project. Wrtsil NSD-engaged Supervising and Commissioning engineers stay at site during erection, testing and start-up of the power plant. They are acting on mandates given by the Site Manager when controlling activities of their own sector or affecting it in any specific way. Furthermore there may be specialists from Wrtsil NSDs sub-supplying companies involved in the erection, installation, testing and startup of their specific part of the equipment. Disputes arising in the cooperatin with these specialists shall be settled by the Wrtsil NSD Site Manager or Supervisor. Client (powerplant owner or operator) presence is to be notified as the topmost involved party. Client requests, orders and actions shall as a principle be met as long as they do not interfere with or affect actions or work which have been agreed with Wrtsil NSD upon. Conflicts and inconsistent orders must immediately be brought to Wrtsil NSDs Site Manager for him to decide upon.
4.2. Sub-contractor
The electrical Contractor shall for the site engage a foreman / chief engineer having the experience, skills and capacity required for managing and controlling all the works included in his contract. The foreman / Chief Engineer shall have the ability to negociate and report in meetings and in writing using the English language as needed for fluent communication with any other parties involved. He is to have the commission and authorization required for everyday management and for decisions needed to be made regardless they are of financial or of technical nature. He shall be within close reach of Site Managers / Supervisors during ordinary working time until the contract is finished and closed. Contractors foreman/chief engineer shall attend site-meetings when called for by WNS Site Manager or Supervisor and in these meetings settle present and fortcoming situation regarding contractors and his subcontractors manpower and schedule. He is also to establish close cooperation with other contractors to avoid colliding activities, to make efficient use of scaffoldings and to coordinate schedules as required. The electrical Contractor shall confine his apparatus, the storage of materials and the operations of his workmen to limits indicated by law, ordinances, permits or directions of Site Management and shall not unreasonably encumber the premises with his materials.
Rw@is"#@sq!)))!"0"#
The electrical Contractor is also responsible for the design, construction, maintenance and removal of all temporary works employed in carrying out his contract. Scheduling, arrangements as also design and layout of temporary works shall be submit to approval by WNSs Site Manager. This will however in no way relieve the Sub-contractor of his responsibilities.
4.3. Accommodation
The Sub-contractor shall provide and maintain on his own cost office and temporary accommodation facilities needed on site for his representative and site staff. Services needed shall be arranged in cooperation with the civil sub-contractor. Sanitary conveniences for the use of persons employed on the construction site are generally provided and maintained by the civil contractor. All persons connected with the works shall be obliged to use them. Dry and levelled areas for storage and location of office and accommodation barracks are when required pointed out by the Site Manager. Furnishing, fencing, if required, is generally to be done by the contractor himself. Needs for temporary electrical power, telephone connections, toilets and dry / heated storage etc is subject to be agreed prior to undesignment of the contract. At demobilisation all temporary systems and buildings are to be cleared out of the site by the responsible sub-contractor at his own costs. Contractors shall when required, at their own costs, provide safe and regular means of transportation for their representatives and site personnel to and from the site also during overtime and holidays when such is needed.

rying dangerous voltages, electrical rooms being locked as not to allow unauthorized trespassing and enclosures sealed not to be opened without knowing the electrical hazards. Final warning signs are to be attached to doors, lids, covers etc. behind which live parts carrying hazardous voltages might be exposed as soon as they have got their final finish. Visible enough temporary warning labels are to be used until final signs can be attached.
Where obstacles and dangerous locations form risks for colliding , falling etc. or for electrical shock an angled alternating black and yellow warning label (tape or painting ) is to be used. Rooms, cabinets, and working zones where risks for electrical shock occur shall be clearly marked using the black/yellow label Danger: electricity (see Figure) and required explanatory text written in local language(s). DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE -sign is to be used on swithchyard fence and MV rrom doors, DANGER VOLTAGE -sign is to be placed inside powerhouse where neccessary to call attention that the unit or enclosure contaings live electrical equipment, HIGH VOLTAGE CABLE / POWER CABLE -signs are to be used where HV or power cables may be exposed to damage, WARNING, MEN AT WORK -signs are to be used when systems are being energized to call attention to feeders which are isolated due to ongoing work. When possible spaces where electrical danger might occur shall be locked to prevent access for unauthorized persons. Warnings signs are to be durable enough for the environment where used. Emergency escape routes are to be marked using white/green pictogram signs of rectangular shape (see ISO 3864 or national standards).
Tidiness is a mandatory requirement for safety and efficiency. All electrical rooms, cable ducts, trenches, floors and racks, and naturally also the insides and outsides of all electrical equipment must be clean and free from any installation waste or other irrelevant oblects. Subcontractors are responsible to follow Site Management instructions for any waste disposal at site.-

ing. When possible unloaded assemblies shall be directly unpacked, inspected and lifted directly into the building as close as possible to their final locations. Instructions for storage provided by the manufacturers of the equipment are to be strictly observed. Note that longer storage of generators require turning of the machine with specified intervals. Oil immersed transformers must be filled with oil and having the drying breather in operating condition. Lead-acid batteries in DC panels and Uninterrupted Power Supplies (UPSes) may require charging so as not to be damaged by self discharge before installed and powered up.

6.2.2. Transformers
Transformers need a foundation capable of carrying the total weight when filled with oil. An oil pit, large enough to gather the oil from any point of a transformer and to hold the total oil quantity, should be built under any oilimmersed transformer. The pit is normally covered by a wire net and/or coarse gravel to extinguish an oil fire. Transformer foundations and oil pits with filling are generally built by the civil contractor (if not in electrical contractors scope of supply) but are to be inspected for suitability and to meet requirements before the transformer is placed onto it. Oil-immersed transformers are installed in a slightly slanting position so that the angle of ascent into the gas relay is 1 to 2% to assure that any gas generated will find its way into the gas relay. This is accomplished by inserting intermediate plates (generally delivered with the transformer) at the supporting points. Breathers on non-hermetically sealed oil-filled transformers are to be immediately assembled and oil-airlocks filled to correct level (see manufacturers instructions) by the contractor. Station service transformers and similar (MV/LV) are erected by the electrical contractor. When the transformer is on rollers on profile rails, they must be well locked to their places by applying securing bolts on both sides of one pair of rollers. Step-up power transformers are hauled and jacked onto their foundation by the manufacturer, transporter or civil contractor. Large transformers of this kind are generally disassembled to some extent for the transportation. Re-assembly and re-filling are generally to be performed by electrical contractors men conducted and supervised by manufacturers or Wrtsil NSDs expert: Large oil-immersed transformers are transported without oil and are thus to be filled with oil before starting the installation work or for longer storage on site:
Transformer is kept under vacuum (ca 133 Pa, or as recommended by manufacturer) by means of a suction pump for at least 8 hours whereafter the filling of the transformer is started, while the suction pump is still working, pumping the cleaned and dried oil from transportation tanks, through a filter to the transformer tank until windings and insulation parts are below the oil level, pumping being carried out slowly - not to considerably decrease the vacuum during filling operation. See manufacturers instructions.
All parts which have been disconnected for transportation such as coolers, oil conservator, bushings etc are refitted and temporarily fitted solid flanges are removed according to manufacturers instructions. All bushings and gaskets are checked and tightened. Additional oil filling is executed according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Maintenance accessories etc. are placed in holders which normally are fixed to a free wall surface in the HV-room. Low Voltage switchgear / main distributiongear units are generally to be installed in dedicated electrical rooms. These factory made assemblies are of indoor, metal compartmented type and have a degree of protection corresponding to at least IP2X, WNS standard being IP31. Subdistributionboards and in some installations also the main LV-switchgear assembly may be located in the engine hall or in auxiliary system rooms. Such assemblies shall have an ingress protection of at least IP44 or IP54 or even higher depending of location and environment. Manufacturers Instructions for installation are to be followed strictly. Foundation / floor levelling and inspections to meet manufacturers requirements must be made before erection is started. The distributionboard-assemblies are transported and moved into the installation site in one or several transportation sections each. Lifting and moving swgassembly packages as well as unpacked sections shall be made in accordance with markings and manufacturer's recommendations and drawings, lifting and pushing /pulling only at intended points using tools as recommended. Multiple-cubicle type distribution boards for floor mounting are normally built for upright transportation and assembly only. This type of construction should be laid laying only with permission from the manufacturer and should also be thoroughly prevented from steep tilting. Locating, levelling and fixing to the floor and to other sections of the unit is carried out by the contractor using recommended methods and tools. When locating the distributionboard close to a wall, an arc discharge space may be required between the assembly and the wall as indicated by the manufacturer. Feeder busducts shall be fitted in with the switchgear assembly and cable routes out from cable compartments shall be checked free from obstacles before fixing the assembly to the floor. No installations are allowed (electrical or other) which prevents or limits arc discharge lid openings on top of the swg nor within reservations for arc discharge. The assembly shall be fixed to the floor or smaller distributionboards to the wall in accordance with manufacturers instructions. Generally it shall be anchored at both ends and in intermediate points at a maximum distance of 1 m, e.g. at both edges in each cable compartment. Interconnections of transportation section busbars are to be made strictly following the instructions and using the components and composants provided by the manuafacturer and using correct tools, applying correct torques etc. There may also be internal control circuit wiring disconnected for transportation there to be reconnected to complete the erection of the assembly. Panels and control cabinets or desks are transported in one or several sections each. They are to be moved onto the installation spot section by section in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and drawings, lifting and pushing /pulling only at intended points using tools as recommended. Panels and cabinets can generally be tilted or laid lying for transporting through narrow passages. This is however to be done with greatest care, possibly so that plug-in units and cards are to be detached or secured and heavy floor mounted transformers and UPSs supported or taken out before it can be done.
Rw@is"#@sq!)))!"0"$
Placing, levelling and fixing to the floor and to other sections of the controlgear is carried out using recommended methods and tools. Each end of each section of modular constructions are normally fixed to the floor after the mechanical interconnections have been completed. Fixing to the floor is done by bolting or welding as prescribed by manufacturer.

Earthing resistance value to be deemed acceptable is dependant of local regulations for maximum prospective touch voltage (between ground and conductive parts connected to the earthing system), of prospective maximum earth fault current values and durations but also of fault current detection requirements. As Wrtsil standard powerplants are built for direct bonding of any exposed part, earthing resistance will not generally form any part of local earth fault current loops. The total earthing resistance value has thus little significance from local restricted systems point of view where there is no possibility for earth current loops passing out of controlled area. Transmission voltage earth fault to station earth may however raise the high resistance station earth voltage to considerable values related to remote earth. Thus any low voltage system connecting the plant to distant locations may distribute dangerous voltages or be destroyed in such a situation. For this reason acceptable earthing resistance value is mainly dependant of connected transmission system requirements, not of local systems.
The meshed earth electrode structure is repeated for each building, switchyard and equipmentyard. Electrode conductors are laid on the bottom of each excavation either separately or as an extension of the area electrodes trough the excavation. As a rule, the earth electrode should be set in (or laid on) the natural soil, not in backfill materials, and if possible in damp earth on the same or below the level of underground drainage systems. Solid conductors are preferred as they are less subject to corrosion than stranded types. Connections between conductors are to be exothermically welded or connected by other means qualified especially for this kind of use. Separately laid electrodes are to be multiple-interconnected to constitute a larger meshed electrode especially where (telecommunication) systems may extend from one eartbound location to another. Bonding jumpers are to be brought up for connecting the electrode to larger concrete mesh reinforcements (fig. -3), as also earthing conductors connected for branching up to large steel structures and to electric assemblies and electrically powered process units (see chapter Earthing conductors).

Electrode conductor dimensions: Use bare cupper conductors of cross-sectional areas large enough to withstand the occurring mechanical and chemical stresses and having required current carrying capacity with respect to effective fault release time. Check required cross-sectional dimension using the table for earthing conductor dimensions. If the eart fault current will be spread into the earth electrode mesh into several directions from the point where the earthing

conducter is connected, the current may be assumed split up into uneven paths thus making smaller cross-section areas sufficient
7.1.1. Substation
IEC 364-4-442 requires one earhing system to which shall be connected earth electrodes, the transformer tank, metallic coverings of low and highvoltage cables, earth wires of high-voltage systems, the exposedconductive parts of HV and LV equipment as also extraneous conductive parts. Mesh layout: One deep, continuing conductor is laid along or beyond the boundary fence. Crossing conductors are spaced 3 - 7 m along equipment foundations in a way that each apparatus or assembly to be installed can have two short ground connections to different crossing conductors (or to the boundary conductor). Crossing conductors are primarily for distributing earth connections and for keeping the potential gradients within the substation reasonable and does not require same depth. Each one of the crossing conductors is exothermic-welded, brazed or clamped (using for this purpose approved connector clamps and tools) both ends to the boundary conductor and to each crossing conductor. Dimensions: Cross-sectional dimensions are always to be checked for sufficient current carrying capacity with respect to maximum prospective earth fault current value and duration (transmission system earth fault current with the additional earth fault current supplied by genset & step-up transformers). Following recommendations are to be followed only where no data available might indicate needs for larger cross-sectional areas:
erate size step-up transformer, high voltage CB and isolator) a Cu 75 mm boundary wire or cable only is generally sufficient when it is extracting from the larger power plant mesh electrode which is providing the low enough earthing resistance required. medium size substations as also whenever there is risks for mechanical damages or chemically aggressive matters in the ground, a conductor sizing of 95 to 150 mm is to be used. Concentrations of current such as low impedance neutral to earth connection of transmission voltage (step-up) transformers require vertical rods bound to multiple distributing conductors or larger sized conductors. For protective doubled bonding of structures and apparatuses via mesh conductors to earth 50 - 70 mm is generally sufficient.
o For

o Large
substations may require even larger cross section areas to meet the requirements for current carrying capacity. Those are to be calculated with respect to grid capacities mainly.
The substation boundary conductor shall form an integrated part of the plant earth electrode being connected to the main electrode by conductors capable of carrying a major part of the prospective earth fault current i.e. at least the size of the boundary conductor.
Rw@is"#@sq!)))!"0"%
Where a low-impedance earth connection of the transmission voltage distribution system is required, either by connecting the step-up transformer neutral(s) to earth or by other means, this connection is to have specific attention. Where possible enhance the earthing electrode in this spot by using one or several vertical deep-driven earthing rod(s) penetrating all known underlying ground/soil layers and capable of carrying the total maximum prospective earth fault current for the release time required. Earthing resistance: The value to be deemed sufficient is dependant of maximum allowable step voltage (1 m), touch voltage (ground to earthed structures) and transferred voltage (remote earthed to locally earthed equipment, see previous chapter) in fault situations.
o Basic level control systems are built using appliances and circuits which
are not by their nature sensitive to electromagnetic interference. Thus the earthing system is mainly built for protection against overvoltages at any possible fault situation.
Lay one continuing earth electrode conductor below drainage level along the perimeter of the escavation made for the foundations of the building. Incorporate stack foundation escavations in this loop or connect branching loops around them. Arrange the outermost corners of the loop to be later accessable for additional branches or earthing rods. Add such branches and /or rods for increasing the electrode area when building the electrode if the location is already known to have high earth resistance values. Pick away sharp stones and other objects which might damage the conductor from soil coming in contact with the conductor. Bring up both ends of the electrode conductor separately (isolated from each other) to the location of the main earthing bar. Attach branches from the main electrode conductor to be connected to the concrete floor reinforcement steel rods at each corner of the building.
o Extended level control systems for monitoring only can be applied with a
Basic level earthing / eart electrode system especially where well protected (not rapid) PLC systems are used. by their nature more sensitive to high frequency interference. Such systems as also
o Extended level control systems which have controlling facilities are o Advanced
level distributed control systems with rapid multi-level bus communications require earthing systems with interference suppressing qualities. These earthing systems are to be built for low-impedance earth bonding of any equipment at any frequency.
Build an earthing electrode loop structure as described for Basic level applications. Add crossing conductors to have a meshed stucture not unlike what was described for the substation electrode. Best earth connection will be achieved by laying each conductor on the bottom of the escavation
Rw@is"#@sq!)))!"0"%
but to get shortest possible rising earthing conductors the better location is in the backfill especially when engine beds require deep foundations. Lay one conductor to pass the generator ends of the genset-beds from one side of the perimeter loop to the opposite side and lay another conductor passing the engine ends of the beds. Lay transverse conductors to pass along each engine-generator bed below the engine panels. Add conductors which overlap escavation (and perimeter conductor) wings and where required to have optimum (=short) earthing connections to each unit, panel etc. Connect all these meshing conductors to the perimeter conductor and in crossing points to each other usin exothermic welding or other approved method. Cross-sectional areas are to be checked to meet the current carrying capacity required by each involved system as also to have the mechanical and chemical strength needed. Use the highest one of any of the following system requirements. Main (perimeter) earthing electrodes taking part in the earthing of substation equipment are to have cross-sectional areas for the same current carrying capacity as has the interconnecting earth electrode conductor. Medium voltage systems in WD-P powerplants are generally restricted and designed for allowing a maximum earth fault current of 5 A per connected generator (10 generators will thus give a maximum of 50 A) which will not require more than minimum dimensions. Where other than resistor or earthing transformer system earthing methods are applied or where larger distribution of medium voltages are to be set up, a specific calculation is required. Low voltage distribution is generally built as TN systems where all exposed conductive parts are connected to the earthing system and to the neutral point of the supplying transformer. In the meshed electrode system electrode conductors may come to carry prospective earth fault currents limited and released by the overcurrent protection. They are thus to be sized according the rules for protective earth conductors but generally allowing the higher final temperature as described for earthing conductors. Main electrode conductors are to have the crosssectional area required by the overcurrent protection of the largest outgoing feeder (to a sub distribution switchgear, process unit or similar). This is provided station transformer and low-voltage switchgear fault current loops are restricted to properly dimensioned return conductors. Earth electrode conductors of cross-sectional areas less than 50 mm Cu should not be used neither as perimeter nor as meshing conductors. Stresses due to lightning are also to be observed. Earthing conductors from stacks should where possible be extended across the (connected) perimeter conductor to form a 5 to 10 m long direct discharge electrode into surrounding ground. Use similar arrangements also where a downconductor from a lightning protection system meets the earth electrode conductor.
Rw@is"#@sq!)))!"0"%
Meshed structure earth electrodes are to incorporate also tank farm, radiator farm and similar areas. Smaller areas are surrounded by one electrode conductor loop from which branches are built to all, or at least to diagonal corners of foundation reinforcement steel arrangements and earthing conductors to the tanks or structures. For larger areas the meshed pattern and short earth connections for lowest possible impedance may require crossing electrode conductors also for the equipment yard. Preferrably lay one interconnecting electrode conductor along pipelines to provide short earthing connections from each one of the pipe supports. Incorporate also the fuel unloading area including the lot intended for the vehicle which is being unloaded to provide low impedance binding of the surface (ground or floor), unloading equipment and storage tanks.
o Basic type earthing systems are built for connecting the main earthing
conductors, every protective earthing and equipotential bonding conductor to earth through the main earthing bar. Also Noiseless earth-systems are connected to the main earthing bar.
Install Basic type earthing, protective and equipotential bonding conductors directly but segregated to the main earthing bar. For remote groups secondary earthing bars are built using these same principles to be bound to the main earthing bar using one common conductor. Distributed panels and process units can be connected to along main cable route laid main earthing conductors which are forming stretched out earthing bars.
o Advanced
type earthing systems are based on low-impedance earth binding of each essential machine, assembly, system and structure to the meshed earthing network by direct earthing conductors (see next chapter). This is required to achieve optimum suppression of high-frequency interference.
Use the main earthing bars also in these installations for low voltage (~400 V) system operational earthing, for terminating protective conductors to station transformer tanks, switchgear room assemblies and to other secondary systems like telecommunication, computer systems etc. Upper floor control room equipment is to be earthbound to the main earhing bar by a

Aim at achieving best, shortest possible earth connection for highfrequency interference which might reach any kind of electronics along cable shields, supply, protective conductor etc. A motor or heater capable of a large fault current should not be bonded on the same earthing conductor as sensitive electronics.

Wires, other than those specialized instrumentation wires (e.g. thermocouple leads) are categorized into four groups to be treated each considering their specific requirements. Power wires are high-amperage large gage wires against which instrumentation and data transmission wires generally need to be shielded; Control wires are medium gage wires used to carry 110-115 V ac/dc or 24 V dc control signals. Electronic wires which are low-voltage vires that normally are shielded and Fieldbus wires which are shielded wires and cables designed to protect and transmit high-bandwidth control signals. Wrtsil NSD wiring systems are mainly employing multi core cable types designed especially for each category, voltage and load for any connections outside factory-built assemblies and appliances.

Wide conduits or cable ducts in floor construction are used for main routes directly from underneath the electrical room or for branching routes from trenches to alternators, process units or panels. Other cables of different categories are mainly routed along racks and ladders on walls, under service platforms or in trenches or are they pulled into conduits laid under ground/concrete. Single cables are clamped onto the wall or ceiling or e.g. pulled into metallic conduits along steel structures. Cable-runs shall be selected so as to be as far as possible straight and accessible. Routes shall not unneccessarily pass through zones where fire hazard may occur. They are also to avoid locations where exposed to oil (splashes, spray or mist), condensed moisture or dripping water. Cables shall be distant or screened from sources of heat such as boilers, hot pipes, resistors etc. Routes shall be protected from avoidable risks of mechanical damage, or where this is not possible, suitable shields should be installed or other precautions taken. Within his scope of supply the contractor is free to select the most suitable and effective cable passages and raceways as long as they do not interfere with reservations for other cables, piping and ducts or existing installations. This is however with the exception that design properties must be checked if installation conditions are changed (e.g. power cables sized for installation in free air must not be installed in poorer conduit cooling conditions). Routing of different categories HV/power/analog signals etc. are to be well separated. Rack/ladder routes are built for separate cable racks and ladders for each category; one rack carrying instrumentation and signalling cables. Low-power control cables can be located with a clear internal distance on the same tray or rack. 300 mm apart from this, one or several racks carrying LV power cables and one or several racks carrying HV-cables at least 300 mm apart from signal (and LV-power) cable racks. For a low number of LV power-, control- and signal cables one single shelf rack or ladder is acceptable if different categories can be kept well apart from each other, low level signal cables 200 mm apart from power cables.

at full capacity. In areas exposed to quake shocks or in vibrating areas, these circumstances are met with heavier dimensions and attachments. Wall mounted or along structures mounted racks (as shown in Figure ) are the first choise where applicable. For distant from wall or structures routing T-shape supporting or pendulum arrangements as shown in Figure 9.3 are recommended. Instrumentation cables are laid one side, other categories on the other side of the suspension rod, but the load must be balanced or rigid enough to remain horizontal. Where heavy or single edge loading must be expected (or where in exceptional cases cable racks are used as maintenance access routes to light fittings, fire alarm sensors...) rigid racks are to be laid on beams which are suspended at their Cable ladders, racks, trays and cables are laid out and fastened in such manners that they will not harm any normal service activities, nor being led close to hot or oil carrying piping. Cable racks are generally installed after the process-piping and ventilation ducts have been installed to ensure future accessability to the route. This makes it possible to use the same routes and supports for cable racking as for piping. It also helps to keep cable routes apart from hot or wet equipment and not to prevent access to valves, transmitters and other inspectable equipment. The contractor shall see to that the necessary distance is maintained to piping and ventilation ducts. Cable racks, trays and ladders are to be cut at fire- or watersealed penetrations to be continued on the oher side of the barrier. Main route racks and ladders will pass unbroken through other than barrier walls and floors. Cable racks shall also be cut between flexibly supported machines and firm constructions, cabling is to be carried out with slacks to take the vibration- and swing-movements across a gap. All cables are fixed not to transmit these movements to the terminations. Minimum bending radius of installed cable type is also to be observed. Only standard elements made for the specific rack / ladder type are to be used. Sharp edges, assembling- or fastening screws etc which can cause damage to installed cables are to be covered or eliminated. Rack-types built of open (U) profiles are generally to be installed open side down. Wrtsil NSD-delivered equipment generally has cable inlet glands or other type sealing entries furnished at factory for all expected cables. Installer must rectify or make the supervisor aware of occasionally lacking or wrong size glands. For single-core cable entry arrangements, attention must be paid not to cause magnetic shortings around single phase paths (cable glands are to be made of non-magnetic materials etc). Separate inlets are to be used for each cable, mounted and tightened to take coming vibrations, moisture etc. Cable racks, ladders and shelfs along brick, stone or concrete ceilings or walls are generally attached using anchor or 'Hilti' bolts. When routed with piping systems, under service platforms and among steel supports, welding or bolting to steel structures is used.

Dropouts to a branching ladder, rack, conduit or appliance should be made dropping downwards through the ladder - not over the edge. Alternatively the racks are built overlapping on different levels. Dropout conduits are fixed to the cable rack and to the machine, to steel structure, to wall, ceiling or floor in at least two points 600 mm apart from each other.

Routing is to be made for fewest possible (sweeping) bends, no more than three bends are allowed between pulling points. Use plastic conduit made of a different polymer than is the sheath of the cable to be pulled in (i.e. polyethylene conduit for PVC cable and v.v.). When several cables are to be pulled trough one conduit the size of the conduit is to be selected so as not to cause jamming /pulling problems (see fig. 9.3:1). Steel bends can be allowed to withstand heavy pulls for (all phases) LV power cable only. Do not route conduit nor even a more rigid pipe to unnecessarily penetrate supporting beams - try to level raceways to pass under the beams. Secure both ends to the concrete as also to metallic bends etc.
Dig cable or conduit escavations 100 mm deeper than is the intended depth for the cable and make a controlled backfill of sand or similar to ensure the cable or conduit will not be laid on sharp rocks. The backfill must not contain large rocks, sharp objects or corrosive material. Minimum cover requirements (between a point on the top surface of any direct buried cable or conduit and the top surface of finished grade): (=NEC)

When raceways or cables are buried in freezing ground, they are to be buried deep enough to be below the freezing layers or they are to be arranged to prevent damage to the enclosed conductors when being frozen. Cables emerging from the ground shall be protected by enclosures or raceways extending from the minimum cover distance (table below) below grade to a point at least 2,45 m above finished grade or until protected by other structures. Upper ends of raceways (conduits) are to be sealed not to let oil or litter into the raceway. Raceways which are connecting rooms of different cathegories are to have moisture, gas or fire proof sealings as required. Note that both ends are to be anchored to the concrete as also steel bends well fastened to PVC piping. One slow bend only (generally for bringing up to floor level) is recommended per conduit, redirecting in horisontal level by slow sweeping bends. Remember to select power cable dimensions according to considerably reduced cooling properties when installing in plastic conduit embedded in dry sand.

Use joint conduits where several same category cables are to be routed likewise but individual conduits for cables which might disturb other circuits or build up excessive temperatures. For multicore cable installations we recommend not to connect conduits or pipes to enclosed systems, not even to connect them in series for longer distances. Instead cut the pipe for steep bends which can be located to places where risks for mechanical damage is low,
see Figure 9.5.2 Routing in pipes/conduits. This is to enable easy pulling in but also to enable cable securing (to avoid sliding due to gravity forces and vibrations). Cables must be secured not to come to rest against metallic pipe ends - use plastic end bushings (see Error! Reference source not found.) where needed.

Control and signal cables are preferably grouped for analoque signal cables / control bus cables and on/off signal cable in separate cathegory groups. A secondary grouping is for common destination. A.C. control or PT/CT secondary signal carrying cables should be laid with LV power cables rather than with mA and T/C -signal carrying instrumentation cables. Figure 10.0.4 a) b) c) Power cables dimensioned for optimal current carrying capacity are to be laid with a cooling gap = cable diameter (min.20mm) between cables = a) in figure above. Normally dimensioning margins admit laying of power cables side by side without cooling gap = b) alternatively clamped in groups of four ensuring enough cooling surface being exposed of each cable = c). Cables having insulating materials with different maximum permissible conductor temperatures shall not be bunched in a common clip, gland, conduit trunking or duct. High voltage cables are always to be laid with cooling gaps, single core cable alternatively to form a triangle. Single core cable systems (LV or HV) are to be laid and firmly fastened to keep a specific configuration for largest possible portion of the interconnection. In the installing of two or more single-core cables forming respectively single-phase circuits, three-phase circuits, or three-phase and neutral circuits, the cables shall as far as possible be in contact with one another. In every case, the distance measured between the external covering of two adjacent cables shall be not greater than one cable diameter. Connections using three single-core cables are recommended to be built arranging phase cables in trefoil formation, but for cable fixing and optimized cooling a spread-out arrangement may be more practical.
In order to equalize to some degree the impedance of (not trefoil) three-phase circuits of considerable length (> 30 m) consisting of single-core cables of a conGORSE NK CABLES ductor cross-section of 185 mm or over, a transposition of the phases shall be effected at TWO cables intervals not exceeding 15 m. Most essential is per phase, to not use flux short-circuiting ferrometallic 2 alternatives clamping (or similar e.g. reinforcing bars) and to keep them on a distance from other cables THREE caand metallic structures. bles In circuits involving several single-core cables per phase in parallel per phase, all cables shall follow the stacked or same route and have the same cross-sectional alternatively area. Further, the cables pertaining to the tied same phase shall be as far as practicable alternated with those of the other phases so that FOUR cables unequal division of the current is avoided. per phase Manufacturers recommendations for grouping SIX cables part cables (> 1 per phase) are developed to per phase meet these requirements as well as possible without deeper understanding. If specified internal positions are not held cable loading caTable 1: Recommended by mfg grouping pacity will be lower.

Special precaution is to be taken to ensure that no closed ferromagnetic circuit is formed around single core cables laid in any formation, or around any cable liable to carry unbalanced load currents. Clamps which fix them should include all the phases, unless they are of nonmagnetic material. Heavy single-core cable-systems are recommended to be clamped using factory made System Clamps for the specific cable dimension, keeping the cables in specified configurations. System Clamps are to be used on c-c distances as prescribed to take occurring forces. Please note: Engine-generator-sets are vibrating during normal use and spring mounted sets are making swinging movements especially during start and stop procedures. When the set is mounted on air bellows/dampers, these slower movements may be rather large. If dampers are mounted under an engine-bed, also the bed vibrates and swings with the engine. All cables onto the engine or generator, especially generator power cables are to be laid and fastened to allow these movements without laying excessive stress to cables or terminals. Cables, conduits and light apparatus are fastened to walls or ceilings using screws and plastic or metallic plugs drilled into concrete, brick or stone - heavier loads using anchor bolts. Onto metallic structures are fastenings attached by welding or screws, to which the conduit or cable is clamped.

Instrument / signal cable screens shall have shortest possible (low-impedance) connections to cabinet earthing provisions. Equipment installation instructions are always to be followed but fullowing general rules apply: Low frequency (pair) screens shall be brought close to I/O terminals and terminated to a bar which can be easily disconnected from ground. This provision is enabling quick checking that no connected pair screen has forbidden ground connections. (See chapter 7.5.2;) Pair screens of signal cables are generally to be isolated from earth or signal cores at sensor/transmitter end. Where signal paths are run via marshalling boxes, pair screens shall be individually continued through insulated from earth terminal blocks (see fig 7-7). High frequency (cable) screen shall have a reliable earth connection in or immediately after the gland or latest at another earhing bar intimately connected to cabinet housing. The lenght of the cable screen from entering the cabinet until terminated to earthing bar and cabinet ground level shall be as short as possible. Cabinet main earthing bar shall have a close connection to plant earth level. Connect outer cable end overallscreens to earthing terminals whenever the connection can be found reliable not to carry stray currents, but isolate them or connect them to earth via HF capacitors when not. Power supply cables to cabinets housing electronics shall be terminated shortest possible way to surge arrester devices when such are applied.

CABLE ENTRIES into panels, assemblies and appliances shall always be made using separate cable glands or bushes for each single cable. A suitable selection of glands are normally furnished by the manufacturer of the panel. Glands and bushes are generally having plugs which are to be removed before cable is inserted but all other elements; sealing grommet, washers and nuts must be used as intended (see Figure 11.0.2) - tightening nut first loosened to allow cable to be pushed through and > 10 mm inside the panel, thereafter tightened to lock and seal cable as well as possible. Too large or too small glands are to be changed to correct dimension for ensuring proper sealing. Cables should be fixed within 15 * outer diameter from the cable entry unless the gland is of strain relief type or fastening is arranged inside the assembly or panel. Figure 11.0.2 facturer. Where single-core cable systems pass through steel plates, all the conductors of the same circuit shall pass through a plate or gland, so made that there is no magnetic material between the cables, and the clearance between the cables and the magnetic material shall be not less than 75 mm, unless the cables belonging to the same a.c. circuit are installed in trefoil formation. High voltage cables are clamped to cable supports in the bottom of the cubicle, but observe that when a window transformer is applied for earth fault detection, the cable screen must not get in contact with earthed structures until brought to the outer side of the transformer, see chapter 7.5.1 and Error! Reference source not found.. Only adequate equipment and methods are to be used; heavy duty crimp terminals for correct core and bolt hole diameter and crimp tools as recommended for terminals applied. Stranded cable cores are terminated using crimp tool terminals. Stranded cores can be terminated without crimp terminals, bootlace ferrules or wire pins only in terminals designed for direct termination of stranded wire. Always use recommended compression forces. H.V.cable endings are made using standard end kits applicable for the cable type, size and environment where used. Ending kits are assembled by contractors skilled personnel only. The termination will be accepted only if the insulation reading, 24 hours after making off, is more than 100 M using a standard (1000V or higher) megger. Where required (by client or circumstances) a high d.c. voltage tester shall be available for final validation. All screened H.V.cables are generally grounded at both ends. Cable cores are to be carefully checked not to lay stress to the terminals. Especially heavy, rigid cables which are terminated to transformer bushings, current transformer terminals, main circuit breaker terminals or similar must be reliably fixed to assembly frames and cores must be precisely cut and terminated not to lay forces to the terminals. Also warming up (of cable and appliances), vibrations, machine movements on flexible supports and risks for grabbing, hitting exposed parts of the cable must be observed not to transfer forces to the terminals. The distance between unisolated live parts and frame is also to be checked to meet regulations and standards and touch protection screens are to be reassembled when the termination work is finished.

Special care is taken to the connection of correct phase-sequence visa shaft rotation wherever rotating machines are employed. Clockwise rotation (seen from motor coupling end) giving the phase sequence U,V,W (A,B,C). Note that for counter clockwise rotation as has the major part of the Wrtsil NSD generator sets the phase sequence is W,V,U (A,B,C). Before starpoint connections are made, the insulating resistance of the windings are checked in accordance with manufacturers instructions (to be not less than 1k*/V of normal working voltage with a minimum of 500k*). Cables to field instruments are to be cabled with a loop. This is to provide the slack needed for local calibration / spare needed when terminated core-ends are worn out from demountings for regularly made maintenance and calibrations. This is required also anywhere else where cables are terminated into equipment expected to be regularly disassembled for maintenance or repair especially when the cable is of considerable length or not easily to be replaced. (Most of this type of instruments are readily installed on the various process units.) Metallic cable conduits are to be provided with plastic endings whenever the cable is not prevented from moving onto the edge. See Figure 11.0.3.

Each cable end shall have a cable identification marking. This marking shall identify the cable using the cable identification code which is used in cable lists and connection documents; generally a letter W followed by a series of numerals or numerals only. These markings are to be clear and durable enough to withstand the environmental stresses at the location where installed and still maintain sufficient readability after decades maybe in wet, oily and dusty circumstances. Marking labels can be made as engraved or printed plastic or metal labels or using sleeve markers for building up the code marking. Hand writing and paper labels are not accepted, not even when inserted in a plastic pocket. They are tied along the unpeeled cable close as convenient to where the cable is entering an appliance or where the outer sheath is cut inside a panel or assembly. Location must be such that the marking is still readable when the installation of all cables have been completed without undoing any cable clamping.
Figure 11.2 Cable cores are to be marked up with the code of the terminal to which the core is connected (reconnection marking). This is intended to enable quick replacement of a faulty device, to enable easy reconnection of appliences which are de- and remounted for maintenance and recalibration etc. Phase carrying cores as also PE and N-cores are marked L1..L3, PE and N correspondingly when terminated to bars or screw terminals lacking identification markings. Also core markers are to be durable enough to remain there identifying the core in an expectable hot and oily environment. Sleeve type stackable or heat shrinkable cable markers are recommended.

Open the motor termination box and disconnect star or delta connecting strips to separate the phases but leave the cable connected to the motor. After the test, the star / delta connection must be remade checking that connection for the actual voltage is correct. High voltage installations may require verification by dielectric tests according to applicable standards.
14.1.1. Procedure
Measure each circuit from each phase or pole to earth and between phases/poles. The elements may be connected to include a complete circuit for one measuring, or they can be measured one at a time. In general, a test/metering voltage of 500V is used for testing of controlgear circuitry (rated voltages 24V...220V). Power distributing switchgear, cables, motors etc. are tested using a test voltage of 1000V. For testing of MV and HV circuitry, rated voltage >5 kV, a metering voltage of 5000V is recommended. The test/metering voltage is applied for 1 minute or until the measured value has stabilised.

Protective bonding circuits are to be inspected for proper connections. In European installations injection tests are to be performed for machines or parts of these which have not been subject to such tests by the manufacturer. Injecting a 10 Amp. current for 10 sec. from various earthed points to PE-terminal a maximum voltage drop of 2,5V/1,9V/1,0 V is allowed for 1,5/2,5/4 mm branches respectively. When it is considered that the voltage of a consuming device may be unduly low, tests shall be taken to verify that the allowable voltage drop has not been exceeded. Signal cable interference screening shall be checked to be in proper condition. Circuits incorporating electronics, especially those carrying high frequency signals, shall be checked to be implemented fully according to equipment manufacturers instructions. Control circuitry shall be checked complete and connected according to diagrams and, where practicable, tested to be operable etc. Lighting, heating systems, telecommunication, detection systems as also service electricity distribution are to be connected, tested and powered up by the contractor who is also responsible for having the required board, authority and ensurance company approvals and certificates. Lighting / lux-values shall be measured and recorded for highest and lowest values in each essential area. Fire-, gas-alarm and similar system Test certificates shall be made and signed to prove full operability according to system requirements. When backfilling of escavations has been completed and the ground has settled so that final ground conditions can be assumed established, an earhing resistance test is generally to be performed. This measurement shall be made in cooperation with WNSs superviser / commisioning engineer using an earth resistance meter and method suitable for required earthing resistance values.

Wiring to type p and n appliances: When cable wiring systems are used, the cable entries shall avoid excessive leakage of the protective gas, and prevent the escape from the enclosure of sparks or incandescent particles. Cable entries to Ex nR (for restricted breathing) enclosures are to be sealed for practically no lekage in of hydrocarbone vapours occosionally surrounding the enclosure. When conduit systems are used, all conduit entries to an enclosure should be sealed unless the conduit is being used as a duct for supplying the protective gas. Intrinsically safe type ia or ib circuits Intrinsic safety of these circuits is based on techniques for limiting the energy of the circuit to values below what is needed for igniting an explosive atmosphere. The intrinsic safe portion of the circuitry is thus fully dependant on its capability not to catch or to carry any excessive energy. For this reason any part of intrinsic safe circuits shall be installed well apart from any equipment distributing or using higher energies so that no phenomena or fault, inside or outside the hazardous area, should be able to transfer igniting energies onto the intrinsic safe circuit.
Intrinsically safe circuit cables are not allowed to carry any non-intrinsically safe wiring of any kind. They are to be routed on separate trays or physically separated from non-intrinsically safe cables by a mechanical barrier. Common and pair screens of these cables are connected to the isolated ground bus of the safety barrier only, which in turn is connected to earhed structural ground using one low-impedance connection. Instrument sensor to amplifier cables are connected strictly according manufacturers instructions. Wiring to amplifiers or safety barriers inside a control cabinet are to be separated by a panel or by a gap of at least 50 mm from any non-intrinsically safe circuits. Where intrinsically safe circuits may be exposed to disturbing magnetic or electric fields, special attention should be given to transposition or shielding so that these fields do not adversely affect the intrinsic safety of the circuit.
