Specifications
91 of 104
Electrical polarity verification shall be made of all permanently wired equipment and receptacles to
determine that connections have been properly made.
Operational Test per Current NFPA 1901 Standard
The apparatus manufacturer shall perform the following operation test and ensure that the power
source and any devices that are attached to the line voltage electrical system are properly connected
and in working order. The test shall be witnessed and the results certified by Underwriters
Laboratories.
The prime mover shall be started from a cold start condition and the line voltage electrical system
loaded to 100 percent of the nameplate rating.
The power source shall be operated at 100 percent of its nameplate voltage for a minimum of two (2)
hours unless the system meets category certification as defined in the current NFPA 1901 standard.
Where the line voltage power is derived from the vehicle's low voltage system, the minimum
continuous electrical load as defined in the current NFPA 1901 standard shall be applied to the low
voltage electrical system during the operational test.
GENERATOR Bidder Complies: Yes ( ) No ( )
The apparatus shall be equipped with a complete electrical power system. The generator shall be a
Smart Power HR-10, 10.0 kW hydraulic unit. The wiring and generator installation shall conform to the
present National Electrical Codes Standards of the National Fire Protection Association. The installation
shall be designed for continuous operation without overheating and undue stress on components.

- Continuous Duty Rating: 10,000 watts
- Nominal Volts: 120/240
- Amperage: 83 @ 120 volts, 42 @ 240 volts
- Phase: Single
- Cycles: 60 hertz
- Engine Speed at Engagement: Idle
- RPM range: 800 to 3,300
Generator Dimensions
- Length: 32.0 inches
- Width: 13.50 inches

The output of the generator shall be controlled by an internal hydraulic system. An electrical
instrument gauge panel shall be provided for the operator to monitor and control all electrical
operations and output.
The generator shall utilize the main chassis transmission to power the generator. The generator shall
be driven by an engine transmission power take off unit, through a hydraulic pump and motor.
The generator shall be operable in the stationary mode with an electrical control inside the cab with a
pilot light to note engagement. The hydraulic engagement supply shall be operational at any time (no
interlocks).
