color of the conductor insulation. For color coding of wire larger than
No. 6, use self-adhesive, wrap-around type markers. These markers shall
be used at all panelboards, junction boxes, disconnect switches, circuit
breakers, etc.
7. Control conductors shall be identified using numerical tags corresponding to
conductor designations indicated on approved shop drawings of schematic
diagrams, and as required for clarification of system and equipment
connections. Conductors shall be clearly identified at each terminal block,
equipment connection and junction. Tags and labels shall be pre-manufactured
for intended purpose.
8. Lamacoid tags shall be nominal 1" x 4" with 3/8" white lettering on black
background.
9. The following safety signage shall be provided for the following equipment.
Signage shall be lamacoid plastic (Large Letters) yellow background with red
engraved letters:
a. All switchboards, motor control centers, VFD equipment, automatic
transfer switches, solid-state, reduced-voltage starters, enclosed circuit
breakers, etc., shall be provided with signage to read "DANGER - HIGH
VOLTAGE". Each section (vertical component of multi-section enclosure)
shall be furnished with an individual signage. Final requirements shall be
determined at the discretion of the Engineer.
b. All motor control center motors starters, individual motor starters and/or
control panels shall be provided with signage to read "CAUTION - This
Enclosure Contains Voltage Sources from Outside of This Enclosure".
c. All switchboards, motor control centers, panel boards, transformers control

d. All switchboards, motor control centers, panel boards, transformers control
panels, etc., shall have Arc Flash labels as provided and determined by the
Arc Flash Study.
M. All electrical equipment shall be suitable for the areas where mounted in accordance
with Area Classifications indicated on Electrical Drawings. In specific, refer to
Drawing E-1 NEMA classification for Electrical Equipment and Enclosures for
specific requirements and these specifications. In addition, there are several areas
which have been indicated to meet NEC National Electrical Code requirements
based on the final location of the equipment. Coordinate and provide these NEMA
ratings whether or not specifically stated on the Drawings. Contractor shall assure
that the proper type, enclosure, mounting and catalog numbers are provided during
the Submittal phase.
