The shelter shall include supply and return ductwork to distribute the HVAC discharge evenly within the interior space of the enclosure. The HVAC system shall be thermostatically controlled and shall be capable of maintaining an ambient temperature range inside the enclosure at any temperature between 65 F and 72 F with relative, non-condensing humidity of 45% to 55% during normal operational usage of the installed training device. The HVAC system shall be capable or maintaining the specified temperature and humidity parameters with an installed fully operational training device producing up to 40,000 BTUs while simultaneously containing up to 10 human occupants within the enclosure walls. Electrical The electrical system of the Relocatable Simulation Shelter shall meet the requirements of NFPA standard 70E. The Electrical System shall include wiring for utility power, a power distribution panel, an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), and Emergency Power-Off (EPO) switches. The electrical system shall allow quick connection and disconnection of all cabling, including all ground and power cabling and all cabling between shelter compartments and/or components. The Electrical System shall include circuitry and components designed to protect an installed training device against abnormal operating conditions including high internal temperature, electrical current surge/sag transients, over and under voltage transients and steady-state excesses from the source, and improper phase rotation. The Electrical System shall provide a minimum of 2 external connections that can accommodate typical facility power. The electrical system shall provide the following minimum power requirements: Three-phase 208 V/120 Y (+/- 10%) 60Hz (+/- 1%) 200 Amp 5-wire circuit for trainer primary power Two 120 V, 20 Amp circuits to power a minimum of 10 utility receptacles throughout the enclosure interior as well as two exterior mounted 20-Amp weatherproof GFI receptacles (with covers) The Relocatable Simulation Shelter shall be delivered with an electrical wire harness, minimum 50 feet long, with suitable connectors for interfacing the shelter electrical system with the site power supply.
