Scope: In building 4513: The contractor will provide and install new 175A breaker in existing switchgear in Elec/AP
Room #M1072. Provide and install new 2” EMT conduit with #2/0 THHN CU feed from new breaker around interior of
electrical room and through wall into the hangar area. Continue pipe and cable from southeast corner of the Hangar
along the steel structure west. Turn corner to the south and terminate new feed at relocated Machine at this location.
In building 4455: The contractor will provide and install new 175A breaker in existing switchgear in Electrical Room
#CC123. Provide and install new 2” EMT conduit with #2/0 THHN CU feed from new breaker to the location in the
Corrosion Control Hangar where the 400Hz Unit will be relocated. Terminate and test new feed.
1.2 The work performed will include A completion walkthrough will be performed by the contractor and civil
engineering upon completion of the electrical work performed.
Background: This project is to complete the electrical portion of transferring of the frequency converter to inside of the
hangars to ensure that we are able to use the frequency converters to their maximum potential as they were designed.
Right now, it is limited by the cord and a fuse. This means that when we require the use of all four systems on an aircraft
simultaneously, we need to use a diesel power unit with a long cord that is set up outside of the hangars to accomplish
the task.
