A prominent U.S. university undertook a $30 million redesign project to renovate their campus arena into a premier sports facility. The project entailed both interior and exterior upgrades, including state-of-the-art amenities as well as additions to emergency lighting and notification systems. These upgrades impacted the normal electrical system as well as the emergency electrical system. Because the arena is a place of assembly, as defined in the NEC®, the consulting engineers needed to ensure the electrical emergency system met selective coordination requirements as mandated by the NEC®.
The consulting engineers for the project were able to work with the technical experts at Eaton’s Bussmann business and utilize the Bussmann Quik-Spec Coordination Panel (QSCP) in order to meet selective coordination requirements. With Bussmann Low-Peak fuses and the QSCP, adherence was made simple by making use of the published ratios for selective coordination. In addition to meeting code, the compact footprint made it easy to use the Bussmann 200A QSCPs to protect the system in this renovation application.
