Power Distribution System Design and Installation Specifications
1. Distribution Cabinet Wiring
Distribution cabinet wiring is a critical component of biopharmaceutical cleanroom electrical systems and must comply with IEC 60439-1 "Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies". Key considerations include:
1. Use specialized crimping tools to ensure proper terminal-to-conductor contact
2. Conductor cross-sections must meet load requirements per NEC 310.15
3. Stranded wires must use crimped terminals to prevent fraying
4. Clear phase identification per IEC 60446 color standards
2. Cable Installation
Cleanroom area cable installation must meet FDA cGMP and ISO 14644 standards:
1. Cable trays should be 304 stainless steel with smooth, burr-free surfaces
2. Segregation of power and control cables with ≥300mm spacing (per IEC 60364-5-52)
3. Use sealed conduits when penetrating cleanroom walls to maintain pressure balance
4. All cables must have flame-retardant properties meeting UL 94 V-0
3. Conduit Installation
Special requirements for cleanroom conduit installation:
1. Use 316L stainless steel seamless tubes with internal surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm
2. Minimum bending radius ≥6× conduit diameter (ASME BPE-2016 standard)
3. Support spacing ≤1.5m with non-shedding fasteners
4. Ground continuity test resistance ≤0.1Ω (IEC 60664-1)
4. Distribution Cabinet Installation
Cleanroom distribution cabinet installation standards:
1. Mount ≥300mm above floor to prevent contamination (GMP Annex 1)
2. Enclosure protection rating ≥IP54 (IEC 60529)
3. Positive pressure design with ≥5Pa differential (ISO 14644-3)
4. Emergency disconnect devices per IEC 60947-3
