Rev. #07: This document replaces PG&E Document 057521, Rev. #06. For a description of the changes, see Page 20. This document is also included in the following manuals: S Electric and Gas Service Requirements Manual (Greenbook) S Electric Meter Work Practices Purpose and Scope This document provides a guide for determining space requirements and illustrates recommended layouts to accommodate three-phase, loop, or radial circuit, pad-mounted transformers installed in a dry room located inside or adjacent to a customers building. The room is usually provided by the customer. General Information 1. A dry room is one which: A. Is located at/or above ground level, or B. Is located below ground level, and (1) Is completely contained within the buildings foundation. (2) Is so designed that flood water entry is prevented. (3) Has sufficient gravity drainage to prevent water retention. 2. It is best that the doorway of the room opens to the street. However, the doors may open to a parking area or driveway provided that access is maintained from the street to the doors. The access path must be suitable for a fork lift capable of carrying the transformer. 3. The room must be large enough to accommodate a transformer capable of supplying 100% of the main switch capacity. Enlarging a transformer room is very costly and sometimes entirely impractical. 4. Eight feet of clear level space must be provided in front of the transformer cabinet, in order that the fuses and cables can be safely operated with live-line tools. 5. Ventilation design must conform to the requirements in Document 054163. The location of the vent shafts may be adjusted to meet local conditions. Cross ventilation must always be maintained. 6. The room itself must conform to all applicable state and local codes. The applicant is responsible for installing and maintaining any items such as sprinklers, smoke alarms, etc. that may be required by local authorities. 7. It is preferable to have access to a room via an outside entrance which would be accessible to authorized Company employees at all times (i.e., from parking lot, loading ramp, street, etc.). However, should it become necessary to accept access through the customers premises, arrangements should be made to ensure that complete access for both equipment and authorized Company employees is available whenever required. Inadequate access will result in prolonged outages. 8. The room shall be designed with adequate security to permit entrance only to authorized personnel. 9. Cable troughs rather than conduits are required to allow the cables to be pulled out of the way of jacking and rolling the transformer out of the room.
057521 Page 1 of 20
10. The applicant will own and construct the transformer room and any associated substructures on its property. This provision is in accordance with the rates filed with and approved by the CPUC. The room must meet all city, county, and state codes and regulations, as well as PG&Es requirements for the safe installation, removal, and operation of its equipment. 11. PG&E must review and approve a not-for-construction drawing prior to the construction of the vault. Once approved, PG&E will forward it and the associated specification sheets to the applicant for his/her use and distribution to the general contractor. It is the responsibility of the applicant to notify PG&E of any design or construction changes. PG&E must review and approve these changes before proceeding with the design or construction of the vault. 12. It is the applicants responsibility to contact PG&Es inspection department prior to the construction of the transformer room. PG&E will inspect the transformer room as it is being built to assure the proper installation and placement of various items required to ensure a safe working environment. PG&E equipment will not be installed until the room has been completed and the work area is clear of any debris. PG&Es inspection department must accept and sign off the room before energizing the new service. To schedule a room inspection appointment, please call____________. 13. No foreign objects shall pass through or terminate in the transformer room. The use of surface-mounted rigid electrical conduits and outlet boxes is allowed provided they are waterproof and approved by the local authorities. 14. Provide 3-hour fire rated concrete reinforced structure, including room walls, floor, and ceiling. Cover all exposed structural steel with 3-hour fire rated flameproof material. Seal off all openings to the interior of the building with approved caulking material. Intake and exhaust vents must be constructed with 3-hour fire dampers. 15. Doors must open 180 degrees and be capable of being secured in place. 16. Provide a minimum of two 200 Watt incandescent lights with protective glass fixtures and convenient GFI duplex receptacles. Maintain 60 inches above the finish floor for receptacles and switches. Provide power for all equipment from the applicants emergency power supply (see Document 054438). 17. Provide pulling eyes (Code 36-2029) with a working load of 10,000 lbs. times a safety factor of two. Install the pulling eyes 36 above the finished floor with 4 inches of clear space between the steel and wall surface. Center them directly across from the door opening and the end of each cable trough. Submit an engineered wet stamped drawing to PG&E for its approval for any pulling eye deviations (see Document 09219). 18. The room floor must support the total weight of PG&E equipment plus 2,000 lbs. and maintain a minimum of 10 feet ceiling height for moving the equipment. Secondary Configuration 19. The secondary configuration depends on the main switch size and whether or not there is an associated fire pump main. A. For main service of up to 8 sets of cables per Greenbook Document 063928 without a separate fire pump service, or where the combined mains of the service and fire pump do not require more than 8 cables, the secondary are cables in an open trench to conduits stubbed through the right-side or rear vault wall (see Figure 1 on Page 5). Alternately, the cables may terminate on a wall-mounted bus stub. B. For main service of up to 8 sets of cables per Greenbook Document 063928 with a separate fire pump service, the secondary is made of cables in an open trench to wall-mounted bus stubs that feed adjacent stubs to the fire pump (see Figure 4 on Page 8). C. For bus duct main service per Greenbook Document 063928 without a separate fire pump service, the applicant provides a bus duct termination through the vault wall (see Figure 7 on Page 11). D. For bus duct main service per Greenbook Document 063928 with a separate fire pump service, the secondary is made of cables in an applicant-installed cable tray from the side of the transformer to wall-mounted bus stubs that then also feed an adjacent bus stub to the fire pump (see Figure 9 on 13). E. The fire pump main must be dedicated to emergency equipment and must not exceed 2,000 A. With combined services, running the emergency equipment will require curtailing regular load. There shall be a permanent sign on or near the fire pump controls indicating that regular load must be curtailed when running the fire pumps.

20. Provide a ______CFM forced air ventilation system from outside air via direct-drive explosion proof fan (intake) and high exhaust vent opening. Install 1/2-inch mesh screen on both sides of the fan assembly (see Document 054163). Install a remote thermostat sensor at the exhaust opening and a separate thermostat control 60 inches above finished floor. Set thermostat between 85F and 90F . All vent openings shall be a minimum of 24 X 24. 21. Provide two 3/4 X 12 ground rods with 12 exposed above finished floor, as shown in the plan view. Ground rods are not to be altered in any way and must maintain a minimum of 6 feet of separation between them. Install #2 Solid CU ground wire in a loop as indicated between the ground rods. PG&E will inspect all ground rods prior to covering. Provide tests and documentation for deviations to this procedure to substantiate the resistivity of the ground rods (see Document 060462). 22. Provide a 6-inch removable sill across all entrances for oil containment after transformer(s) are installed. Caulk all gaps leading to the interior of the building. Provide a Corbin lock set with tumbler (CL3357-N2D-626 or CK4257-GRC-626) for the vault door(s). PG&E will key the tumblers. Provide provisions to lock the door in the open position for emergency purposes. 23. All exposed metal in the vault must be grounded.
