    Good day, Sir Randy!
    Thank you po sa informative content. May I ask po kung meron po bang way to determine the right size of the jockey pump and fire pump (in horsepower) to be used?
    Thanks in advance!

      Meron sir way para ma determine ang requireed size ng jockey pump at fire pump pero more on mechanical side na yun sir kasi need nila i consider lahat ng mechanical aspects like laki ng building, length and size ng pipes, ilang sprinklers etc.

      Thank you sir sa question. Actually, ang SPD sa fire pump controller ay new mandatory requirement sa NEC 2017. di ko lang sure sa new PEC kasi wala akong copy ng latest edition ng PEC, pero dahil sumusunod lang naman ang PEC sa NEC, malamang required na din.
      From NEC 2017
      "695.15 Surge Protection. A listed surge protection device
      shall be installed in or on the fire pump controller."

    Question, pwede for the sizing of the conductor of fire pump controller is not included yung jockey pump since hindi naman magsasabay ang jockey and fire pump sa actual? Another question, at what percentage yung sa Voltage Drop ng FP, it is 5% or 15%?

    • @RandyAmorchannel
      @RandyAmorchannel  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sir as per PEC mandatory na ang conductor ay sized at a minimum of 125 of the sum of the FLC ng fire pump at ng jockey pump. When it comes to voltage drop naman, yung 15% maximum ay under motor starting condition lang pero pag ang motor ay umaandar up to 115% of FLC, maximum voltage drop ay 5% lang.

    • @RandyAmorchannel
      @RandyAmorchannel  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello sir. Thanks for asking the question. Actually, walang sinabi sa PEC or sa NEC tungkol sa overcurrent protective devices ng controllers. Pero sa NFPA 20, which is the standard that covers all aspects (mechanical and electrical) of fire pump installation, sinasabi na hindi dapat lagyan ng overcurrent protective devices ang controllers. Please refer to below section of NFPA 20
      "10.3.5 Protection of Control Circuits.
      10.3.5.1 Circuits that are necessary for proper operation of the controller shall not have overcurrent protective devices
      connected in them."
      I hope this answers you question sir. Have a good day

      @@jonathans2888 sir, kung titignan naten maliit yung 9A na sobra sa 400A, pero PEC and NEC requirement is not less than the "sum of the
      locked-rotor current of the fire pump motor(s) and the pressure
      maintenance pump motor(s) and the full-load current of the associated
      fire pump accessory equipment when connected to this power supply". For the sake of following the provision of the code, I would suggest to use the next higher standard rating which is 450A according to PEC 2.40.1.6. Sana nakatulong yung sagot ko sir sa question mo.

      @@jonathans2888 yes sir sa example ko yung conductor is only 50 sq. mm kasi yun ang corresponding size para minimum of 125% of sum of the FLC's ng fire pump and jockey pump. Pagdating naman sa OCPD, ang sizing ay base sa LRA hindi sa FLC kaya malaki talaga para masigurado na anytime na kailangan ang firepump ay aandar at hindi mag ti-trip CB or puputok ang fuse due to locked-rotor current . With respect naman sa location ng feeder ng fire pump, hindi allowed na kumuha ng supply ang feeder sa distribution board na nasa loob din ng building na pino-protektahan ng fire pump kasi pag nasunog ang building at nag trip ang feeder ng fire pump or yung main CB nd distribution board, eventually hindi mag o-operate ang fire pump so wala din silbi masusunog din ang building. Yung project ko before sa Laguna nung ni-review ko yung electrical plans na gawa ng EE na gumawa ng plano and take note pirmado pa ng PEE yun, nasa loob ng building ang supply ng fire pump at ATS, pinabago ko pinakuha kong supply sa mismong utility after ng metro derecho sa pump room at pinalipat ko din yung ATS sa loob ng pump room, Pati yung generator supply derecho din sa ATS sa pump room.
