Electrical Systems
Princeton Engineering Services, PC provided the design and construction administration services as the MEP Prime Consultant for the replacement of existing (obsolete) electrical system, which included new 2000A, 208/120V, 3-phase, 4-wire Main Distribution Switchboard.
The design included replacement of all existing panelboards throughout the school, and new power feeders and branch circuit wiring as well. Recessed panelboards were retrofitted with new internals and cover, in order to reuse the existing backboxes. Surface mounted panelboards were replaced entirely with new. As well as provision of two (2) new dedicated 20A, 120V branch circuits per classroom, each supporting four (4) duplex receptacles for information and/or instructional technology equipment (i.e. computer workstations, laptop computers, interactive whiteboards, LCD projectors). Therefore, the design involved removal and replacement of all feeders to include supplementary equipment grounding conductors.
