IEEE standards. Whenever possible, electrical equipment supplied shall be of type
that has been approved, listed, or labeled by a nationally recognized laboratory,
such as Underwriters' Laboratories, Factory Mutual, CSA, or a National
Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL).
3.3 Provision for Future Loads
3.3.1 The equipment size, rating, and space allowance for future loads shall be a
minimum of 20 percent. The equipment shall be installed so that future additions
can be made with minimum rearranging of the original installation. Switchgear
units in primary substations that supply multiple process units shall be designed to
allow for installation of future units without shutdown of existing units.
3.4 Circuit Arrangements
3.4.1 Layout and circuit arrangement shall permit complete inspection and maintenance
of the electrical system. Major process units to which power cannot be interrupted
conveniently shall be served through an individual substation specifically
installed for those units. Process units or other operations to which power can be
interrupted shall be served in groups from a single substation.
3.5 System Coordination
3.5.1 All electrical system components shall be completely coordinated. Contractor

shall furnish a relay and fuse coordination study of the entire electrical system

eight or minus four percent of the rated voltage of the equipment being served
under full load conditions.
3.6.2 Motor terminal voltage dip shall not exceed 20 percent of the motor rated voltage
at motor terminals during starting. When motor terminal voltage dip exceeds 20
percent, Contractor shall certify that the driven equipment's starting requirements
are satisfied with lower motor starting voltage applied. Steady state voltage drop
for motors shall be in accordance with Section 6.1.2.
3.6.3 Motor starting or reaccelerating voltage shall be, at all times, sufficient to produce
the torque required to accelerate the load to rated speed. This stipulation applies in
particular to motor starters, which hold the starting circuit closed for a period of
time so that motors will automatically reaccelerate after a momentary voltage dip.
For each new project, an evaluation shall be made on which method or what
devices can achieve the best ride through capability for critical motors when
subjected to a short duration voltage dip.
3.7 Area Classification
3.7.1 General
At a minimum, the basis for area classification shall be in accordance with

Article 500 of the NEC and with the recommended practices outlined in API

∙ Pressurized Non-hazardous: an enclosed area provided with positive pressure

ventilation, using a source of clean air in accordance with the NEC, Article
500.7, NFPA No. 496, and API RP500 and RP540. Ventilation or
pressurization air shall be obtained from a point at least 25 feet above
grade or higher if source of clean air is not available, 10 feet from the
nearest Division 1 area and 10 feet above the roof of any building restricting
free air movement. Special attention shall be given to location of pressurizing
air intake relative to safety valves and other vents.
∙ Non-hazardous (unclassified): a location considered inherently non-

hazardous due to its separation from hazardous locations as interpreted by API
RP500 and defined by NEC.
3.7.3 Specific areas, such as filling stations and truck or tank car loading areas shall be
"classified" and identified on the area classification drawings.
3.8 Equipment, Enclosures and Wiring Methods
3.8.1 Class I and Class II, Division 1 Locations
Electrical equipment and wiring materials shall be provided as required by

Articles 501 and 502 of the NEC.

∙ Electric heat producing devices such as process heaters, dryers, space heaters
or resistors which may come in contact with the hazardous atmosphere shall
not require approval for Class I locations, provided that they utilize non-
variable resistance elements and have a maximum operating surface
temperature, in degrees C, which does not exceed 80 percent of the ignition
temperature of the hazardous mixture or 200C, whichever is lower. These
conditions shall apply when the heat producing devices are operated
continuously at 120 percent of the rated voltage and at the maximum rated
ambient temperature of 43.3C (110F).
∙ Instruments, meters, annunciators, and communication systems shall not

require approval for Class I locations, provided they do not include arcing
contacts exposed to the atmosphere or heating devices other than those
specified above.
3.8.3 Class II, Division 2 Locations
