Trystar Docking Stations • What is a Docking Station? • Termination station • Quickly, Safely and Legally connect/disconnect • Temporary Generators • Temporary Load Banks • Temporary Chillers • Temporary Power
Why Do I Need a Docking Station? • How does a temporary genset get connected to a building in an emergency? • How do generator service companies connect their load bank when performing their annual testing?
Typical Temporary Genset Hook-Up How do cables get connected? A. Knock a hole into existing switchgear B. Run cable through the building
Typical Temporary Loadbank Hook-Up How do cables get connected? Most Common – Disconnect the permanent conductors from the output side of genset circuit breaker – tie in load bank cables
Typical Temporary Connection • The problem for owners: • Temp Genset • DOWNTIME • Damage to gear • Unsecured building • Outage to connect & disconnect • Electrician required • Load Bank • Customer is exposed to an outage • During connection, testing, and disconnection • Cable terminations exposed during operation • Excessive wear to breaker lugs – not torqued-stripped
NEC 700.3 2017 Code Change • If the emergency system relies on a single alternate source of power, which will be disabled for maintenance or repair, the emergency system shall include permanent switching means to connect a portable or temporary alternate source of power, which shall be available for the duration of the maintenance or repair. The permanent switching means to connect a portable or temporary alternate source of power shall comply with the following: • 1. Connection to the portable or temporary alternate source of power shall not require modification of the permanent system wiring. • 2 . Transfer of power between the normal and the emergency source shall be in accordance with 700.12. • 3 The connection point for the portable or alternate source shall be marked with the phase rotation and system bonding requirements. • 4. Mechanical or electrical interlocking shall prevent inadvertent interconnection of power sources. • 5 . The Switching means shall include a contact point that shall annunciate the location remote from the generator or at another facility monitoring system to indicate that the permanent emergency source is disconnected from the emergency system. It shall be permissible to utilize manual switching to switch from the permanent source of power to the portable or temporary alternate source of power and to utilize the switching means for connection of a load bank. • Informational Note: There are many possible methods to achieve the requirements of 700.3(F).
