ElectricalAME Vertical has available an electrical package that is completely Pre-Engineered. Our "Quick-Tric" Pre-Engineered electrical system is designed to snap together for fast and easy installation as part of our modular office solution. The connections are color-coded and safety keyed to lock together in one direction making it virtually impossible to connect the system incorrectly.
Specifications/Benefits
- Components are 100% reusable.
- All components are U.L. listed and meet N.E.C. requirements.
- System is easy to add-on to or relocate.
- Electrician is needed only to hookup power source to breaker box.
- System snaps together quickly and can be installed while the office is being assembled.
- Spring steel latches hold connections securely in place.
- System is 5 wire with 2-circuit capability.
- All wiring is 12 gauge with THHN insulation.
- A complete layout drawing and materiallist are supplied.
- All components are wired to the modular connectors at the factory***
*Standard field wiring in available as well.
**Important note: A few local electrical codes do not allow Pre-Engineered electrical components. The local building inspector should be consulted prior to ordering to determine if any code restrictions apply.
***Some office manufacturers offer modular electric packages but they require the installer to wire the connectors to the electrical devices in the field. Our Quick-Tric system comes from the factory with all components, including the panel board, wired with the modular connectors.
OUTLETS
Starrco's standard design is to supply an outlet approximately every 8 linear feet of wall, unless specified otherwise. A simple design alternative is to put outlets in the areas they are needed (i.e. around work stations, equipment, etc...)
Outlets for computers, air conditioners, copiers or equipment with motors should be on separate circuits. Do not count on these outlets for general usage.
CIRCUIT BREAKER BOX
Starrco's standard circuit breaker box is a 120/240v single-phase panel capable of handling up to twelve single pole breakers. We use the following guidelines for determining the quantity of breakers supplied with each circuit breaker box:
-
Ten (10) lights per light switch or 20 amp breaker
-
Eight (8) 120v duplex receptacles per 20-amp breaker. (Note: the types of electrical components being used may affect the quantity of receptacles assigned to each breaker. For example, if space heaters are going to be used in the office, the quantity of receptacles per breaker should be reduced because of the potential amp draw of the heaters).
-
Air conditioners and HVAC units are on separate circuits.
-
Items requiring 220-250v will be on a separate two-pole breaker.
