PAES 422-1-2012 - Poultry Dressing and Slaughtering Plant Part 1-Small Scale PAES 422-2-2012 - Poultry Dressing and Slaughtering Plant Part 2-Large Scale
Electrical Requirements
During the design phase, the total load shall take into account the individual load of equipment in the plant.
A panel board complete with main switch and sub-circuit breakers shall be provided. It shall be mounted in a weatherproof box outside the operational area.
Wiring systems shall be protected by rigid PVC conduit or its equivalent. Wiring layouts shall be designed in accordance with the requirements set by the Philippine Electrical Code (see Annex A.11). Where portions of the conduit are known to be subjected to different temperatures, the conduit shall be filled with an approved material to prevent the circulation of warm air to a colder section of the conduit.
Convenience outlets shall be installed at 1 m to 1.5 m above the finish floor line. Such convenience outlets shall have receptacle plate and shall be waterproof type.
Branch-circuit conductors or feeders shall have an ampere rating not less than the maximum load to be served. Branch circuit conductors or feeders and equipment shall be protected by overcurrent devices that have a rating not less than the non-continuous load plus 125 % of the continuous load except when the assembly, including the overcurrent devices protecting the branch circuit(s) or feeder(s), is listed for operation at 100 % of its rating. In such case, the ampere rating of the overcurrent device shall be permitted to be not less than the sum of the continuous load plus the non-continuous load.
Branch circuit conductors that supply a single motor used in a continuous duty application shall have an ampere rating of not less than 125 % of the motor’s full-load current rating. Conductors supplying several motors, or a motor(s) and other load(s), shall have an ampacity not less than 125 % of the full-load current rating of the highest rated motor plus the sum of the fullload current ratings of all the other motors in the group, plus the ampere rating required for the other loads. Overload devices intended to protect motors, motor-control apparatus, and motor branch-circuit conductors against excessive heating due to motor overloads and failure to start shall be provided.
Branch circuits shall be rated in accordance with the maximum permitted ampere rating or setting of the overcurrent device. Where conductors of higher ampacity are used for any reason, the ampere rating or setting of the specified overcurrent device shall determine the circuit rating.
The minimum size of conductors to be used shall conform to the requirements of the branch circuits (Table 2).

It's been a while since I last posted here. Weeks have been so hectic especially that our OJT is in the flame. Time is not in our hands anymore. So I want to share this article for now. I hope to come up with an idea sooner or later.
Let's learn while earning. Happy Reading! <3
