2. 1 - ENERGY/ ELECTRICITY • Safety • Risks : • Electrification • Electrocution • Fire • Equipment damages • Your role as a logisitician : - Prevent accidents - Protect appliances • Supply • Power supply sources : • City power (local grid) • Power generator • Battery kit withsolar • Sources d’appoint : • Power generator • Battery kit • UPS (Inverter all-in-one) • Your role as a logisitician : • - Insure electrical availability (Quantity and quality) • - Improve electrical usage

3. 1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY

4. Quick Assessment • Use the table to make quick assessment of installations : • At your arrival • When renting a new place • Available on kitlog online • Useful to do a quick assessment of the 5 essential safety rules • If the building is noted : • 0 to 3 / 10 : Building need emergency works, HQ advisor must be notified • 4 to 7 / 10 : Works are to be planned. It is necessary to plan adapted budgets to perform it during the next 6 months • 8 to 10 / 10 : The building is at minimum standard level. You can plan small works to improve user’s safety conditions

5. Basic safety rule #1 • No possibilty of direct contact = 1 pt • If you notice nude wires or any possibility of direct contact, you have to make works to avoid them • That happens especially with detached switches and outlets, when an equipment is removed and not replaced, on bad connection of two wires

6. Basic safety rule #1 • As a vehicle, an electrical installation need a maintenance • That must be planned and budgeted :

7. Basic safety rule #2 • No electricity more close than 1,5 m from water No wire, socket, switch or electrical equipment of any kind That concerns bathrooms, kitchens, any room with tap, … And also water dispensor ! Because of possible leackage Water Computer UPS Photocopier

8. Basic safety rule #2 • Whatever skills or countries, a local electrician is able to create a new socket outlet and to disconnect and seal the old one. • Do not wait the incident • or somebody obliges you to do it ! • => Remove these items from water immediately

9. Basic safety rule #3 • Electrical panel (switch board) = 3pts Building must have an electrical switch board => 1pt Correctly fixed, without signs of burn => 1pt With adapted protections => 1pt 2pt 1pt 3pt

10. Basic safety rule #3 • All equipement must be protected • by circuit breaker or fuses • If you don’t have any circuit-breaker or fuses on your building, your situation is an emergency. You have to contact an electrician to make works, or the HQ referent at least • If you have, make a test : switch all them off and verify if some equipment still supplied. If yes, that means that they are not protected. You have to contact an electrician to make works

11. Basic safety rule #4 • Size of cables = 1 pt

12. Basic safety rule #4 • Wires have to respect minimum standard sizes • An under-sized cable if hot, and can burn. If you don’t have any electrical notion, but you touch a wire and you feel it is hot, it is not normal ! and you have to change it. • That mainly happens with heavy equipment (boilers, heaters, air conditioning, …), with long wires, and with overload multi-plugs. • Wire undersized is the first cause of fire starts ! • Please refer to electrical and saftey guidelines to choose the size of wires.

13. Basic safety rule #5 • Equipment using water or made of a steel frame • must be connect to the earth = 2 pts • To verify it, you can buy an outlet tester => • If you don’t have earth connection on heavy equipment and equipment with steel frame, you must contact an electrician to install it. • Be careful if you want to verify it without tester : to have an earth cable in you socket outlet don’t mean that this cable is connecter to this earth. • If you don’t have earth connection on your building, the minimum protection you can install is a differential circuit breaker

14. Basic safety rule #General • If you have any doubt, don’t touch… Most of the time, send a picture will be enough to : • Identify and evaluate the problem • Explain what works to do and how • Plan incoming costs, … • To not care of installation maintenance is like transform maintenance operation in renewal operation • Renewal costs are often heavy and can not be taken in charge by the mission …and ask a local electrician or the HQ

15. 1.2 ELECTRICAL SUPPPLYProduction & extra sources

16. Minimum setup regarding the context

17. Panneaux de raccordement Local Grid • Power sheddings (power cuts) • Identify the sheddinglength and frequency • Keep in mind : A batteryneedneed 4 to 8hr of charging • Obligation to have an emergency power source • Fluctuations • Buldintensity fluctuations, Fluorescent buldswhat not workscorrectly, UPS beepingwhenbuldsstillilluminated, … • Small stabilizer on Equipment to protect • Voltage peaks (surges) • Surgeprotector : • Heavy stabilizer on the full building

18. Power generator 0 kVA 6 kVA 12 kVA Power (1 kVA = 0.8 kW) 3000 to 3600 RPM 1500 to 1800 RPM Single phase 3-Phase 1 – Evaluate the necessary power => Diagnosis tool on kit log 2 – Check the type of connection to city power and choose the same generator, if not possible Generator 3-phase with Building Single phase => Works to plan Generator Single phase with Building 3-Phase => Heavy works to plan 3 – Make it validate before to buy

19. Power Generator Obligations : => Dispose the logbook next to the generator => Stand at attention about fuel consumption Recommendations : => Oil change every 250 hours => Heavy maintenance each 2500 to 3000 hours => Maximum life length 12 000 hours with good maintenance

20. Battery kit Local purchase HQ purchase • Main sold as all-in one product • Charger / Inverter • Batteries • Maintenance 12 month • Installation and connexion • Standard price : 0,40 à 0,5 € / VA • Warning, charging time are oftenvery long (>8hrs) becausechargers are not powerful

22. Keep in mind • Almost nothing can be done without a energy supply : => have a proper back-up • Do not forget the maintenance of your equipment and installations • Security and good environment practices are the same everywhere in the world • While buying equipment: • Take time to assess your needs • Take into account total life-cycle cost (fuel, maintenance, disposal…) and not only initial cost • Anticipateyourworks and costs • More details on the kit log Contact :energyrequest@actioncontrelafaim.org
