Specifications include, but are not limited to: Procurement, Contracts and Materials Management is seeking Responsive Responsible Proposers to submit Proposals for design and installation of electrical switchgear and distribution system for a total load of 2.5 MW. Oregon State University is currently working with industry partners to support the development of next-generation sodium fast reactor designs. In order to accomplish this goal, design work is currently underway for a large-scale thermal-hydraulic test loop which will operate at prototypic conditions using liquid sodium as the primary working fluid. This loop will require considerable electrical capacity to operate pumps, blowers, trace heating, and experiments. a. Power Paneling and Wiring Currently, infrastructure is slated to be installed to the building separately from this proposal. 1. 1.5 MW of power is to be supplied to the loop. a. New 3000A 480V 3PH main section will feed 480V equipment and 120/240V equipment through a transformer. b. This new section will be in a new location within the room from the current main section. 2. Panels will need to be designed and assembled to provide power to the loop. 3. Wiring will need to be provided. 4. Existing electrical distribution equipment in the room will need to be removed or moved to be reused if possible. 5. The main breaker requires shunt trip capability with an E-stop circuit wired into the adjacent control room. 6. Second e-stop circuit is required which will open all contactors on the loop module, with one switch on the module (AC-1 or AC-3) and one in the adjacent control room.
