Electrical Design Criteria

DOE-HDBK-1092-98

8. National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) Standards

9. NFPA 101, Life Safety Code, Chapters 6 and 7

10. Crane Manufacturers Association of America (CMAA)-70, Specifications for Electrical

Overhead Traveling Cranes

11. CMAA-74, Specifications for Top Running and Under Running Types of Single Girder

Electric Overhead Traveling Cranes

All conveying systems shall be suited to the occupancy requirements of the location where they are

installed. Where they penetrate a security barrier, they shall provide the same degree of penetration

resistance and intrusion detection as is required by the site-specific security plan.

Additional applicable codes and standards for maintenance and inspection are listed below and

provide an overview of electrical and maintenance and inspection requirements.

1. CMAA Crane Operators' Manual

2. CMAA Overhead Crane and Inspection Checklist

3. ANSI/ASME B30.2, Overhead and Gantry Cranes

4. ANSI/ASME B30.11, Monorail Systems and Underhung Cranes

5. ANSI/ASME B30.16, Overhead Hoists

6. ANSI/ASME A17.2.1, "Inspectors Manual for Electric Elevators." ANSI/ASME A17.2.2,

"Inspectors Manual for Hydraulic Elevators." ANSI/ASME A17.2.3, "Inspectors Manual for

Escalators and Moving Walks."

7. ANSI/ASME A17.3, Safety Code for Existing Elevators and Escalators.

6.1.2 ELECTRICAL DESIGN CRITERIA

Electrical design criteria should be closely coordinated with the architect, structural engineer, fire

protection engineer, mechanical engineer, and electrical safety engineer to ensure that all discipline

requirements are coordinated and met.

Factory and field performance tests and control and wiring diagrams should be specified in the

purchase order or contract because they are not otherwise provided by the factory. Acceptance tests

conducted by the factory representative, qualified independent inspector, or engineer are recommended.

Tests conducted by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and Factory Mutual Engineering Corporation

(FM) are also acceptable.
