Section 4 of Chapter 8 imposes control and instrumentation requirements on gas turbines. Each engine must be equipped with an automatic engine speed control, an automatic main speed control and overspeed shutdown control, a backup overspeed shutdown control that is independent from the main control, an automatic engine shutdown device for low-lubricating oil pressure (with exception), provisions for shutting down the engine from a remote location, provisions for shutting down, from a remote location, lubricating oil pumps not directly driven by the engine, an automatic engine shutdown device for high exhaust temperatures (with exception), and a means of automatically shutting off the fuel supply in the event of a flameout. The starting sequence must include a purge cycle. Chapters 9 and 10 address operating and emergency instructions being readily accessible to personnel operating or maintaining the engine. Individuals responsible for the operation and maintenance of the engine should be familiar with the procedures. 4.5 NFPA 110, Emergency and Standby Power Systems The emphasis of NFPA 110 is on reliability, performance, testing and maintenance. The NFPA Standards Council has ruled that NFPA 110 is primary to the NEC and NFPA 99 in these matters. NFPA 110 is much more specific with regard to generator-set installations than other codes. NFPA developed the standard primarily for use by permitting authorities who needed a compre- hensive guide beyond the various uncoordinated requirements in other codes. It addresses only the generator set and transfer switch. This standard was under contentious development for almost a decade, and any changes proposed for additional equipment can expect to be challenged. The standard covers performance requirements for power systems (power sources, transfer equipment, controls, supervisory equipment, and all related electrical and mechanical auxiliary and accessory equipment) providing an alternate source of electrical power to loads in buildings and facilities in the event that the primary power source fails. Section 2-3. Classifications of Emergency Power Supply Systems (EPSSs) The standard classifies EPSSs as Types, Classes, Categories, and Levels. Type indicates the maximum time in seconds allowed before the EPSS assumes the load. Thus, for a Type 10, the system must be fully operational within 10 seconds. Class indicates the minimum time in hours that the EPSS will operate without refueling. Class 2 represents a system designed to operate for 2 hours. Level defines the importance of the installation to life safety. Level 1 defines requirements for applications where failure could result in serious injury or loss of human life. Level 2 defines 4.8PDF Image | PNNL 13277
