FAA-E-2204E, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION SPECIFICATION: ENGINE GENERATOR SETS (EGS) DIESEL AND PROPANE FUELED - 10 KW TO 1500 KW (25-OCT-2010)

FAA-E-2204E, FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION SPECIFICATION: ENGINE GENERATOR SETS (EGS) DIESEL AND PROPANE FUELED - 10 KW TO 1500 KW (25-OCT-2010)., The contractor must provide Commercial Off The Shelf / Non-Developmental Items (COTS/ NDI) equipment that meets the EGS functional and performance characteristics set forth below. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a requirement to replace Engine Generator Systems (EGS) or various components of existing EGS currently in service nationwide. Additionally, there is a need to provide EGS for new facilities that will upgrade and modernize the National Airways System (NAS). The purpose of the EGS is to supply secondary electric power hereafter referred to as Standby Power, for the duration of any failure of the normal (Commercial) power supply. All equipment required to make-up the EGS must be designed and fabricated for the safe unattended operation as required in this document. The EGS will supply the equipment load from either a commercial source or from the engine generator by way of an automatic transfer switch. The commercial source will be connected to the normal side of the transfer equipment. Transfer between the two sources of power must be either by Open Transition Transfer Switch (OTTS) or a Closed Transition Transfer Switch, (CTTS). The generator must be connected through a main circuit breaker to the emergency side of the transfer equipment and to the loadbank. The common side of the transfer equipment will be connected to the equipment load. The automatic transfer equipment must be designed so that it will be impossible to back-feed the commercial power equipment from the generator in the event of normal source power failure; or, to back-feed the generator from the commercial source when the normal source is restored from the failed state. Additionally, at some sites the intended EGS will be tied to an Uninterruptable Power Source (UPS) which operates as a fail safe to the Load. The UPS is NOT part of this request.
