 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.26
PLANT LIGHTING Page 13 of 32
Rev 0 1999
outdoors.

3.11.4 For single-floor buildings up to 4,000 sq ft (400 sq m), switching of the entire building lighting from each
building entrance is acceptable. For control houses and other buildings that are normally occupied 24
hours a day, the lighting may be switched from the lighting panel circuit breakers.

3.11.5 Illumination of control panels and consoles shall be free of reflected glare when viewed from anywhere
within the following range of viewing positions:

(a)between 4 ft 2 in and 5 ft 10 in (1250 and 1750 mm) elevation above floor,

If deviation from set-point indication is used, illumination shall be free from glare when any such instrument is
viewed as follows:

(a)from intended sitting positions,

(b)from any standing position in the room with a viewing angle to the instrument over 15°,

(c)dimmer switches shall be installed to provide glare free illumination as is necessary.

3.12 Emergency Lighting

3.12.1 Any working area which is illuminated only by mercury vapour lamps, or other lamps with a restarting
delay after voltage dips, shall also have sufficient incandescent or other rapid restarting lighting to achieve
at least 10% of normal illumination level, but not less than 0.5 ft candle (5 lux) within 5 seconds of the
power supply failure. In areas where emergency lighting is provided, this requirement shall be met by the
emergency lighting fixtures. Elevated tower platforms which are not main operating platforms shall not be
provided with additional, rapid restarting lighting.

3.12.2 Emergency lighting shall be provided for the following equipment and areas:

(a)instrument and operating consoles and panels in process and utility control rooms,

(b)switchgear control, relaying, metering and alarm panels in all substations,

(c)emergency or standby equipment such as power supplies, furnace and boiler feed water pumps, main
circulating water pumps and other turbine or diesel driven equipment,

(d)interiors of buildings in which operating personnel are regularly in attendance, such as compressor
shelters, utilities plants and enclosed process plants. Interiors of enclosed air fin exchangers,

(e)major outdoor operating areas such as furnace and exchanger control platforms and main pump alleys,

(f)exit doorways, stairways and accessways within or in the immediate vicinity of areas where emergency
lighting is required,

(g)other areas, as specified, after the equipment layout is established.

3.12.3 Emergency lighting illumination levels shall have an average value on the "seeing task" (surface requiring
emergency lighting) of at least 10% of the normal illumination level, but not less than 0.5 ft candles (5 lux)
for process areas, 30 ft candles (325 lux) in-service for control rooms, 5 ft candles (55 lux) in-service for
substation buildings and switchrooms, and adequate lighting for safe exit from all buildings and enclosures.

3.12.4 Emergency lighting systems shall employ regular incandescent or other rapid restart lighting fixtures and
 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.26
PLANT LIGHTING Page 14 of 32
Rev 0 1999
shall be wired in a conduit system separate from the normal lighting system. Emergency lights shall be
used in normal operation and shall be automatically transferred to the emergency generator when the
normal power supply fails. Emergency lights shall be switched from separate lighting panels located in the
vicinity of the lights.

3.12.5 Equipment/Systems

The power source for emergency lighting systems fall into two broad categories:

(a)Centralised,
(b)Individual (Self Contained).

(a)Centralised Systems

These systems involve three principal types and are:

Battery:

This type of system tended to be restricted for use with tungsten luminaries on non-maintained basis but fluorescent
luminaires with individual inverters are now available.

Bulk Inverter:

This type of system is similar to that above but incorporates a central inverter to convert d.c. to a.c. This permits
fluorescent luminaires to be used.

Generator:

Where diesel sets are used to provide power for other ancillaries at time of power failure it may be advantageous to
use some of the available output for emergency lighting.

(b)Individual Systems

Luminaires with Individual Power Pack:

These systems are self contained with the emergency power source being derived from the individual power pack
normally fitted within the luminaire. The system is suitable for local 'Health Condition'
monitoring e.g. third wire. It should be noted that where such luminaires are intended for
hazardous areas the isolation features of the battery supply should receive special consideration.

Self-Luminous Signs:

Where electrically operated signs are either not suitable or not available, illuminated legend type such as EXIT signs
etc., which require no electric supply may be considered. The units are

continuously illuminated by tritium gas, and a life of over fifteen (15) years is claimed. No harmful radiation is
given off by these signs and they are now accepted by most Fire Authorities. Their main
disadvantage is their lack of brightness and where used the legends should be of ample size. They
are not suitable for general lighting.

Before installing these signs they should be registered with the relevant Authority under the Radioactive Substances
Act. Disposal of these signs also presents problems and the usual procedure is to return them to
the manufacturers when they are no longer required. The vessels containing titrium are carefully
designed to minimise the risk of damage, and it is claimed that these units can be subjected to very
 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.26
PLANT LIGHTING Page 15 of 32
Rev 0 1999
violent treatment whilst in service without impairing the radioactive source.

3.12.6 Emergency lighting panels shall be supplied by lighting transformers fed from the emergency bus. This
bus shall in turn be supplied from an automatic transfer switch supplied from the emergency generator or
the essential services bus. Normal and emergency lighting systems shall be supplied from separate circuit
breakers at the essential services centre.

3.12.7 Emergency lighting for control rooms shall be supplied from the emergency generator facilities.

3.12.8 In addition to the emergency lighting, control room emergency lighting shall be installed to illuminate the
instrument panels by means of self-contained battery operated units having integral trickle chargers which
are supplied from the normal AC source. Lights shall be mounted to focus on the front of the instrument
panel. Self-contained battery units shall have the following features:

(a)units shall be mounted, wired, equipped with a test switch and have an automatic transfer device to
energise the unit when the normal and emergency generator supplies fail,

(b)units shall be capable of maintaining the illumination levels for ½ hour, 1 hour or 2 hours as required by
the location and purpose,

(c)units shall be equipped with a factory sealed battery, with a minimum maintenance-free period of five
(5) years. Units shall incorporate a completely automatic charger having sufficient capacity to
restore the battery to full charge within 24 hours following an emergency discharge of not more
than ½, 1 or 2 hours as required by the design.

3.12.9 Fluorescent fixtures supplied from battery units are preferred. Wall mounted, incandescent units are
acceptable. The lighting level supplied by these additional units shall be 2 ft candles (22 lux).

3.12.10 Emergency lighting for substations shall be supplied from the emergency generator, if one is installed.

Emergency lighting for substations without emergency generator facilities shall be supplied by means of self-
contained battery-operated units having trickle chargers, which are supplied from the normal supply source.
Self-contained units shall have the following features:

(a)units shall be mounted, wired, equipped with test provisions and have an automatic transfer device to light unit
when the normal and emergency generator supplies fail,

(b)unit shall be capable of maintaining the illumination levels for at least 1½ hours,

(c)units shall be equipped with a factory sealed battery, with a minimum maintenance free period of five (5)
years. Units shall incorporate a completely automatic high/low rate charger having sufficient
capacity to restore the battery to full charge within 12 hours, following an emergency discharge of
not more than 1½ hours.

3.12.11 Self-contained units shall be used to provide new emergency lighting in extensions to existing substations
which already use self-contained units.

New emergency lighting for extensions to existing substations with emergency generator facilities, shall be provided
by additional fixtures supplied from the emergency generator.

3.12.12 Neutral conductors of circuits supplying discharge type lighting shall be of the same size as the circuit line
conductors.

Wire smaller than Number 12 AWG (2.5 mm²) shall not be used for lighting branch circuits.

Wire insulation shall be suitable for the operating temperature of the fixtures.
 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.26
PLANT LIGHTING Page 16 of 32
Rev 0 1999

3.12.13 All lighting equipment, including transformers, panelboards, transfer switches, etc shall be identified with
traffolyte nameplates. The switch or circuit breaker controlling each fixture shall be identified on a
nameplate located at that fixture.

3.12.14 A circuit directory shall be installed at each lighting panelboard identifying each branch circuit. The
identification shall include the use of each circuit (lighting, receptacles, etc) and the area served.

3.12.15 In locations with moving machinery, the lighting design shall avoid stroboscopic effect. Lead-lag ballasts
or division of load between phases shall be employed where necessary.

3.12.16 Transfer equipment may be either autochangeover contactors for bulk changeover or relays for smaller
numbers of fittings or even individual fittings. These contactors and relays shall always be 'fail safe' (i.e. if
faulty shall energise the lighting) and shall have the following characteristics:

AC Operating Coils

Pick up volts 85% of rated voltage.

Drop out volts 40 - 60% of rated voltage.

DC Operating Coils

Pick up volts 80% of rated voltage.

Drop out volts 5 - 10% of rated voltage.

Both AC and DC operated contactors shall be able to withstand 110% of their rated voltages continuously without
damage to their operating coils.

3.13 Plant Security Lighting

3.13.1 Specification

This covers mandatory requirements governing security lighting for plants.

Security lighting is required only when specified.

Security lighting, when required, shall always include all of Category I and the applicable items specified in

3.14General Design Rules

3.14.1 The six basic rules for good lighting coupled with energy conservation are:

(a)Use of the most efficient light source practicable

The need is clearly to use lamp types giving the maximum light output for each watt of electrical energy used
consistent with the other needs of the lighting installation.

Not all lamps are suitable for all applications, for example the colour of the emitted light from a SOX type sodium
lamp is normally unacceptable for certain applications in spite of their efficacy.

(b)Use of the lamp output efficiently

Careful selection of luminaires which give the required illuminance for the least energy consumed should always be
considered.

(c)Maintain lighting equipment in good order

A high standard of maintenance ensures not only safety but contributes to energy saving. Poor
maintenance and the accumulation of dust and dirt reduces the useful light output and so in effect
increases the cost. Planned maintenance provides the best overall efficiency and with it, real
economies can be gained.
 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.26
PLANT LIGHTING Page 21 of 32
Rev 0 1999
(d)Use well designed energy effective lighting schemes

This specification illustrates ways of designing effective lighting schemes. After installation it should be maintained
so as to ensure these results are continuously achieved.

It is therefore essential to provide for maintenance schedules when the design is being considered, so that the
required illuminance can be achieved with the minimum luminaires and consequently a lower
consumption of energy.

(e)Control the switching operation and usage of the lighting installation

Controlled switching of the lighting installation offers a number of possibilities for effective energy saving. Central
switching from a control console or use of photoelectric control are two methods which ensure the
lighting is only on when it needs to be.

(f)Consider the effect of the surrounding installation

The surrounding plant, particularly on industrial installations, can have a marked effect on illuminance and needs to
be taken into account, particularly at the design stage.

Whilst reflection factors tend to be minimal, every advantage should be taken of the use of light surface finishes
which will reflect the light and consequently produce energy saving.

4.0 CONSTRUCTION

4.1 Construction

Lighting fixtures and associated equipment shall be of the Vendor/Contractor's standard type and shall conform to
NEMA specifications and standards.

The use of other types of construction requires the approval of the Owner.

4.2 Materials

4.2.1The characteristics of materials shall be suitable for the place of installation and operating conditions. All
lighting fixtures and the individual components shall be suitable for the environmental conditions stated. It
will be necessary to consider all environmental factors which may affect the life of materials and safety
conditions such as:

- minimum and maximum temperatures,

- effects of temperature and humidity,
- elevation continuous duty,
- corrosive substances and pollutions,
- solid matters, sand, dust,
- solar radiation and wind,
- danger of explosion or fire.

4.2.2The use of standardised materials available on the market shall be maximised.

4.2.3The equipment and material forming part of the same supply shall be of the same type for similar functions.

4.3General Requirements for Lighting Fittings

 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.26
PLANT LIGHTING Page 22 of 32
Rev 0 1999

4.3.1Illustrations and/or samples of all lighting fittings which the Vendor/Contractor proposes to purchase shall be
submitted to the Owner for approval before issuing any sub-order, except where a fully detailed
specification is given on the drawings. Lighting fittings for interior and exterior use are to be manufactured
and tested in accordance with the appropriate Sections of BS 4533 or equivalent ANSI/NEMA Standard
and, together with all components, are to be suitable for service and operation in the climate specified.

4.3.2Each fitting is to be complete with all lampholders, control gear, internal wiring, fused terminal block, earth
terminal and reflectors or diffusers as specified.

4.3.3The design of each fitting is to be such as to minimise the effect of glare and such that the ingress of dust, flies
and insects is prevented. Where open type fittings are used, it is to be impossible for insects to become
lodged therein.

4.3.4The control gear for use with fluorescent lamps is to incorporate power factor and interference suppression
capacitors and is to be of the electronic type without plug-in starters. Chokes are to be impregnated and
solidly filled with polyester resin or other approved high melting compound and are to be manufactured to
restrict the third harmonic content to less than 17% of the uncorrected current value and are to be silent in
operation.

Control gear for discharge lamps shall incorporate power factor correction and interference suppression capacitors.

4.3.5Internal connections are to comprise stranded conductors not less than 18 AWG (0.75 mm²) covered with heat
resistant insulation to the requirement of BS 6500 or equivalent ANSI Standards. All internal wiring is to
be adequately cleated to the fitting casing with an approved type of cleat. The finish of fittings for interior
use is to be impervious to deterioration by atmospheric reaction. Fittings for exterior use shall have a
vitreous enamel, natural aluminium or galvanised finish according to the manufacturer's standard product.
Lighting fittings are to be the type as detailed on the drawings.

4.3.6All lighting fittings shall be provided with all lamps and tubes necessary to complete the installation.

5.0NEMA/IEC DIFFERENCES

5.1General

This specification is primarily written for fittings manufactured in accordance with the American (NEMA)
standards.

If it is necessary or advantageous (or if there is no equivalent NEMA standard) to purchase fittings in accordance
with International (IEC) Standards, the specification can still be utilised but the salient differences
occurring should be noted as detailed below.

5.2Salient Differences

This section does not attempt to list every difference between American (NEMA) standards and IEC standards, but
covers only those salient differences that could affect the final installation if not properly addressed during
the design phase.

5.2.1 Units - SI Units

The NEMA Standards in many cases utilise imperial units (horsepower, feet, pounds, degrees fahrenheit, foot
candles, etc.) whilst the IEC Standards utilise SI units (metres, grams, degrees celsius etc.).
 GENERAL ENGINEERING SPECIFICATION GES L.26
PLANT LIGHTING Page 23 of 32
Rev 0 1999

Note:

For electrical equipment, the (American) Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) have recommended
that the use of the imperial (British-American) units in use be reduced as rapidly as possible in favour of
the SI units, with certain implementations such as the use of horsepower being phased out first.

5.2.2Ingress Protection (IP) (IEC 34-5) IEC 529

The IEC Code precisely defines the ingress protection offered to the equipment by its enclosure against solid bodies
and moisture. The NEMA Code is now similar, and for most refinery installations, an enclosure of "IP54"
(as defined in both codes) should be adequate for most installations.

5.2.3Hazardous (Classified) Areas (GES L.35)

Full details of the comparison of IEC and American practices are detailed in GES L.35 and are not reiterated here.

If it is intended to purchase fittings to IEC Standards, reference shall be made to the contract hazardous area drawing
produced from the principles stated in GES L.35 to establish the enclosure type needed.

Note:

The National Electrical Code NFPA 70, Article 500 and API.RP500 cover the American approach to hazardous
(Classified) areas in some detail.

5.2.5 Grounding

Concerned with the nature and location of an intentional electrical interconnection between the Electrical System
Conductors and Ground.

In British Practice, the terms "Grounding" and "Ground" are replaced by "Earthing" and "Earth".

6.0 INSPECTION
