It details the electrical infrastructure of a facility, outlining power distribution from external utility connections (UTIL-HI/TAMCI/HALAWA4/SSA and UTIL-H2/TAMC2/HALAWA1/SSB) operating at 11500V. The diagram shows main switchgears (BUS-SWGR SSA and BUS-SWGR SSB), various circuit breakers (CB-SSA-MAIN, CB-SSB-MAIN), and connections to internal electrical rooms and equipment. It includes transformers (e.g., XF-BLDG 1, XF-T1 to XF-T22, XF-IRM, XF-ELEV 1, XF-ELEV 2, XF-UPS) that step down voltages from 11500V to 480V, 208V, or 240V for different loads. The system incorporates solar power (PV(REMOVED) 100kw) and backup generators (GEN-GEN 1 200 kW), and includes UPS systems (MGE UPS P 36kVA, Eaton UPS 80KVA). It further illustrates the distribution to various mechanical and electrical loads, such as Air Handling Units (AHU 1-4), chillers (CHILLER 1 & CHILLER 2), and elevators (ELEV 1 & ELEV 2), across different rooms and buildings. The diagram provides a comprehensive overview of the facility's power supply, distribution, and critical loads, vital for understanding the electrical design and operational components.

The document details the electrical infrastructure of a facility, outlining various components such as generators, circuit breakers, transformers, and busbars. It specifies the voltage, amperage, and location of each component, with a focus on emergency power systems and distribution. Key elements include a 480V, 200 kW emergency generator (GEN) in the Emergency Generator Room, several circuit breakers (e.g., CB-GEN, SCB-PILSHI-MAIN) with specified trip ratings, and various transformers (e.g., XF-XILSHI, XF-BLDG 32) converting voltages for different parts of the system. The document also mentions elevator power components (ELEV 1, ELEV 2) and busbars for power distribution. The system was validated on 11/13/25 by Michael Chu, a Health Care Engineer. This comprehensive overview is crucial for understanding the electrical layout and capacity, likely for maintenance, upgrades, or emergency planning within a government facility context.

The Department of Veterans Affairs commissioned E.K. Fox & Associates, Ltd. to conduct an electrical distribution system condition assessment for the Honolulu Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC). The assessment, performed from October 15-25, 2019, aimed to enhance the safety and reliability of the electrical system through short circuit analysis, protective device coordination, voltage drop analysis, arc flash hazard analysis, and equipment condition assessment. The overall electrical condition was found to be good, with all overcurrent protection devices passing interrupting capacity evaluations. However, 53 protective devices and two conductor sets require adjustment or replacement, and one circuit breaker feed needs reconfiguration. Voltage drop was generally within 1-3%, with some feeders nearing 4%. Three buses exhibited arc flash incident energy exceeding 40 cal/cm², necessitating arc flash labels. Most electrical equipment was in fair to good condition, but many components had less than half their useful life remaining, and some were in poor condition. The report also identified that most backup generators did not operate at 30% nominal load, increasing the risk of wet stacking, which is currently mitigated by annual extended load bank testing.

The document details existing and recommended electrical circuit breaker settings for the VAMC Honolulu facility, aiming to improve coordination across various electrical panels and transformers. Several circuit breakers, including 110-CB-DPLSH-2, 110-CB-NL1 (1)-MAIN, 110-CB-DPNH-1, 110-CB-NH1-MAIN, 110-CB-NL1 (1)-MAIN, 110-CB-NH2-1, 110-CB-MSB-1, 110-CB-DPNH-MAIN, and 110-CB-MSB-6, require adjustments to their trip and instantaneous settings. Other panels, such as 110-CB-NL2 (2) and 110-CB-NL3 (2), require no adjustments. This comprehensive review ensures optimal electrical system performance and safety for the facility.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Honolulu Veterans Affairs Medical Center is undergoing an Electrical Distribution System Condition Assessment. This involves a contractor surveying buildings, with a potential 5% deviation in square footage. The assessment requires obtaining detailed utility and electrical information, including fault current data and X/R ratios, for the Spark Matsunaga Clinic, Parking Structure, E-Wing, and Center for Aging. The document also includes extensive electrical load data, photovoltaic energy production, and generator test logs for the E-Wing, ACC, Parking Structure, and CFA, detailing monthly consumption, kVA loads, and operational checks. This data is crucial for completing the arc flash study and overall electrical system analysis.

The provided government files document a series of emergency generator tests conducted at the Ambulatory Care Clinic (Model #3508, Serial #23207184) and the Parking Structure (Model #2000FAA, Serial #F960608681) from January to September 2019. These monthly and load bank tests involve pre-checks (fuel, oil, coolant, air filter, batteries), simulating power outages, transferring life safety and critical equipment, taking 15-minute readings of engine speed, oil pressure and temperature, hour meter, engine temperature, frequency, voltage, and amperage. Post-test procedures include returning to normal power, rechecking fluid levels, logging data, and summarizing any issues with corrective actions. The files also include monthly checklists for general maintenance and detailed voltage and current charts, indicating the routine and thorough nature of these emergency generator inspections to ensure operational readiness and compliance.

The Honolulu Veterans Affairs Medical Center (VAMC) underwent an Electrical Distribution System Condition Assessment by E.K. Fox & Associates, Ltd. from October 2019 to April 2020. The study aimed to improve electrical safety and reliability, ensure compliance with NFPA 70E (Arc Flash) and VHA Directive 1028, update electrical documentation, and evaluate equipment. Findings indicated that most equipment was in good condition, but 53 OCPDs and 2 conductor sets needed adjustment or replacement for proper coordination, two ATS units required replacement to meet VA design guides, and two circuit breakers needed GFP enabled or added. Prioritized recommendations included funding for panel repairs, transformer GEC installations, E-Wing generator replacement, transformer replacement, and ATS replacements, totaling $207k for Priority 4 items and $48k for OCPD replacements for coordination. The final report included all corrected data, coordination curves, responses to comments, electronic copies of all data, arc flash labels, and a professional engineer's stamp and signature.
