Specifications
Construction
1. All materials and equipment used in the installation will conform to Underwriter's Laboratories standards and must be designed for intended Marina use. Materials and equipment should be standard products of a manufacturer regularly engaged in the manufacture of such products. Such products shall meet the design standards for the specific application and should have been in satisfactory use for a period of two years in a like application. Exceptions to 'use period' may be authorized by the Engineer where the material satisfactorily meets a general use criteria or adequate laboratory testing has been completed.
2. The Power Outlet Box shall be UL listed as a complete assembly.
3. Electrical wiring will consist of insulated stranded copper type THHN/MTW conductors rated for service at 90°C or THHW/MTW VW-1 Boat Cable rated for 105°C. Non-wire conductors will be tin plated copper and/or aluminum Lugs.
4. The Power Outlet Box shall be molded of polycarbonate or polyvinyl chloride polymer and all body parts shall be corrosion, impact and UV resistant capable of withstanding high humidity and caustic environments.
5. Color shall be permanent molded in white to resist showing scratches and chips and all external surfaces shall also be painted to further resist the effects of aging.
6. The Power Outlet Box shall attach to post or railing with an internal fastening system to eliminate unsightly through bolts and to minimize removal by vandals.
7. The Power Outlet Box shall be constructed so that it may be installed (both physical mounting and utility connections) without mechanical disassembly of internal parts.
8. The Power Outlet Box shall have a hinged cover that will support itself in the open position, i.e. with hands off.
9. All external screw fasteners that require removal to gain access for any installation, maintenance or modification must thread into a brass insert, and not rely on threads holding in a plastic part.
10. It shall be possible to change or maintain receptacles and circuit breakers by exchanging snap in panels as opposed to rewiring individual components.
11. Installation is to be in accordance with local codes and approved by local electrical inspector.
Receptacles & Breakers
1. Receptacles shall be corrosion resistant, grounding type, conforming to NFPA Volume 303 Chapter 3, Section 3.13.
2. Receptacles shall be mounted at approximately 60 degrees down from the horizontal.
3. Each receptacle shall be protected by a thermal magnetic circuit breaker that is ambient temperature sensitive.
4. Receptacles and their respective circuit breakers are to be assembled together on a panel that can be removed and inserted into the Power Outlet Box with a plug connection mechanism.
5. All receptacles shall be covered by a hinged door that prevents water from dripping on the plug, receptacles and circuit breakers. These doors must latch closed with and without plugs and power cords attached, and must be lockable with a padlock with a 0.200" dia. hasp.
Cable Television / Telephone
1. The Power Outlet Box shall be capable of providing single cable television and telephone service through standard marine receptacles.
2. Services must be weather protected and lockable with the same requirements as B.4.
3. Low voltage wiring for television / telephone service must be continuously separated from power wiring by a non-metallic barrier.
Lighting
1. The Power Outlet Box shall have diffused downward directed lighting using incandescent lamps. Maximum wattage for lamps is 15w. A suitable fuse must protect each Power Outlet Box light circuit.
2. Lighting may be controlled for a group of Power Outlet Boxes from a single externally controlled source.
3. Optionally each Power Outlet Box light shall be controlled from a photocell incorporated in the Box.
4. Lighting circuit components must be accessible for maintenance with a tool to open mechanism that is both quick and easy.
Wiring
1. The Power Outlet Box shall be factory pre-wired of stranded copper wire and shall provide physical isolation between high and low voltage systems.
2. Access to line feed and termination areas shall be open and unobstructed. It must be convenient to hold incoming feed lines with both hands to position the ends into the lugs or posts.
3. The factory pre-wire must be adequate to supply the maximum future load according to the specific Power Outlet Box specification.
