> standards and these requirements, the requirement that provides for a
> safer, quieter, and better designed and built charger shall apply.

2\. ALTERNATING CURRENT INPUT: Nominal system voltage is 240 volts AC
single phase (two legs of a 240V delta) with a +/-10 percent variation
in input voltage allowed. Frequency will be 60 Hertz with variation
allowed as in referenced NEMA standards. The battery charger shall
operate at a minimum 80 percent efficiency and at a 70 percent or better
power factor at full load.

3\. DIRECT CURRENT OUTPUT: Each battery charger shall be part of a 58
cell, 125 volt lead acid lead-calcium flooded cell battery system. The
battery to be charged will be rated 510-535 AHR.

a\. Voltage: The voltage regulation shall be +/- 1 percent over a load
range of 1 to 100 percent. Battery charger design shall provide for
float voltage control from 124.7 ‑ 136.3 volts and equalize (a.k.a.
"high rate") voltage control from 127.6 ‑ 142.1 volts.

b\. Current Limiting: The current limiting circuit shall be adjustable
from at least 90 - 110 percent. Full output (i.e., 100 percent) current
rating of the charger at the altitude specified below shall be as
specified in the Bid Schedule.

c\. Parallel & Load Sharing Operation: The charger shall be capable of
parallel operation with two compatible battery chargers connected in
parallel, and without interconnecting control wiring.

> The parallel battery chargers shall also be capable of \"forced\" load
> sharing (with interconnecting wiring) any load from 0 amps load to
> full rated current such that the difference between two parallel
> chargers shall be no more than 20 percent of the sum of the combined
> rated charger output currents (e.g., if each charger\'s rated full
> output is 55 Amperes, then the difference could not exceed 22 Amperes
> \[20% of 55+55\]).
>
> In addition, all parallel and load-shared chargers shall be free from
> output current instability (hunting) from 20 percent to rated output
> current.
>
> Any single charger (when operating either in parallel or load sharing
> with another charger) shall continue to operate without interruption
> or failure in the event that its counter part fails.

d\. Stand-Alone/No Load Sharing: Chargers shall each be capable of
operating in a stand-alone\" mode (no load sharing - one charger \"OFF,"
one charger \"ON\"), even with the load sharing wiring connected.

e\. Effect of Altitude: The charger shall provide the full rated output
at an altitude of 1,100 feet above sea level (and lower), with an
ambient air temperature range of 0 to 50 degrees C.

i\. Battery Temperature Compensation: Each battery charger shall be
provided with temperature compensation that varies the charger float
voltage (measured at the battery terminals) to compensate for battery
temperature variations from 77 degrees F (25 degrees C) per the
following equations:

V corrected = V77°F - ((T actual - 77°F) x (0.003V/°F)) or

V corrected = V25°C - ((T actual - 25°C) x (0.0055V/°C))

> Each charger shall provide the proper voltage for the 58 cell 125 volt
> battery, with a rated float voltage of 2.17 -- 2.25 volts per cell at
> 77°F. Each charger shall be provided with a remote (for mounting on
> the battery) sensor, complete with 50 feet of insulated jacket
> shielded cable per sensor. The sensor will be connected by the
> customer to the negative post of a middle cell, using the intercell
> terminal connection bolt, washer, and straps provided by the battery
> manufacturer. A type of sensor using an adhesive for
> attachment/mounting to the battery is NOT acceptable.

> conduit knockouts (both entry locations are preferred, bottom access
> is required) . Conduit knockouts shall provide a minimum 1.5‑inch
> inside diameter in the appropriate conduit fittings, and accommodate
> the sizes and numbers of incoming and outgoing cables. Cutouts and
> removable cover plates (or gland plates) or conduit knockouts shall be
> provided at cable entry points. A ground lug/pad shall be provided for
> bonding the charger to the building ground mat, via a customer
> provided #4 AWG copper cable.

8\. PAINT: The battery charger cabinet shall be finished, inside and
outside, by the manufacturers\' standard painting system. The charger
exterior shall be painted with ANSI 61 - light gray semigloss enamel (or
the manufacturer's standard ANSI 61 finish).

9\. AUDIBLE NOISE: The charger shall be operated under all conditions of
line voltages, output voltage, and load current to determine the
conditions which produce the highest audible sound level. This highest
audible noise level of a single charger (excluding ambient noise) shall
be less than 65 dB (+/- 2 dB meter accuracy) at a distance of five feet
from any/all charger surface(s), over the frequency range of 32 to
10,000 Hz (i.e., "C weighting curve"). The contribution of the charger
shall be extracted from the total noise (ambient plus charger) using:

Lchgr = 10 log ^(10(total\ level/10)^ - 10^(Level\ with\ chgr\ off/10)^)

\[ e.g. for total level = 70 dB and level with charger off = 65 dB,

Lchgr = 10 log (10^(70/10)^ - 10^(65/10)^)

Lchgr = 10 log (10^(7)^ - 10^(6.5)^) = 68.35 dB \]

10\. INPUT, OUTPUT, AND RADIO FREQUENCY NOISE: The conducted and
radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI) and other electrical noise
products of individual chargers shall conform to NEMA PE-5.
