Purpose: 1. B. Sensitive electronic equipment requires special considerations to avoid power and operational problems. Guidelines: 1. Harmonics a. Most newer electronic or computer based equipment uses technology which produces a high harmonic current content and may lead to power system problems. b. The use of individual neutrals for each single-phase circuit and the oversizing of any three phase neutral involved, needs engineering consideration. The neutral to ground voltage drop should also be considered. c. The use of K-rated transformers and harmonic traps needs to be considered. d. If isolation transformers are employed, they should be the shielded type. CC EDITION 10/04 DIVISION 16 – ELECTRICAL 16.21 2. 3. 4. Grounding a. An insulated green wire should be included with all feeders and branch circuits. Bonding jumpers between receptacles and raceway are desired. b. The use of isolated ground circuits/receptacles is not generally necessary and if requested by occupants should be discussed with the Owner. c.
