equipment shall be as detailed on the plans. All service equip ment new or upgraded shall be marked with an appropriate arc flash plaque or decal with the f ollowing information : Flash hazard boundary Cal/cm2 hazard at 18 inches PPE level Shock hazard when cover is Limited approach boundary Restricted approach boundary The prohibited approach boundary This shall be located on the outside of the equipment and shall be visible, weatherproof, and fade resistant, and not easily removed. All new controller cabinets, traffic signal or lighting, shall be configured to eliminate arc flash. All electrical equipment will be dead front, no open te rminals, bus bars, breakers, or exposed terminal strips. All live parts over 50 volts shall be covered with Lexan or a s uitable barrier to eliminate the possibility of an arc flash. The control cabinet shall be fabricated from cast aluminum, sh eet aluminum, galvanized steel, or stainless steel. The following are requir ed:

715.12 Lowering System for High Mast Lighting Each pole shall be furnished with

a mechanical lowering system operated by cables and an electric ally operated winch that will permit servicing of the luminaires and associated electric al and mechanical apparatus from the ground. Lowering systems shall permit lowering of the complete assembly, including luminaires, ballasts, fuses, and other apparatus, whi ch may require periodic inspection or servicing, to a hei ght of 5 feet or less above th e pole base plate. At the top of the pole shaft there shall be mounted a detachab le head assembly which remains fixed in position during the raising and lowering opera tion. The head assembly shall consist of 3 or more symmetrically located fixed support arms, which will carry the weight of the lowering assembl y. The fixed head assembly shall incorporate no moving 7-51 parts except for the necessary pulleys, rollers, or sheaves tha t guide the lowering cables and electrical cable during the lowering operation of the assembly. The fixed head assembly and luminaire lowering ring shall be galvanized steel. All require d pulley rollers or sheaves and associated bearings, bushings and shafts shall be constructed o f highly corrosion resistant materials not relying upon plating of the parent material for c orrosion protection. All pulleys and rollers attached to the head assembly shall have pe rmanently lubricated bearings or bushings. All parts of the head assembly shall be protected with covers, screens, shields, as necessary, to prevent entrance of dirt, moisture, ice accumulat ion, nesting of insects or birds or other contaminants harmful to the operation of the lowering device. All miscellaneous fittings, fasteners, or hardware shall be fa bricated from corrosion resistant materials that do not rely on plating for their corro sion protection. A lightning rod of approved design s hall be attached to the to p of each pole and shall be firmly attached to the pole shaft or head assembly to provid e good electric bonding to the pole shaft. The entire luminaire lowering ring assembly shall be raised an d lowered by three or more symmetrically placed stainless steel aircraft type cables located inside the pole shaft and extending through the head assembly support arms and attach ed to the lowering ring. Electrical cable supplying energy from the base of the pole to the luminaire ring shall be rough service mining type cable consisting of 3-600 volt conduc tors assembled with a messenger into a single cable. No electrical disconnect shall be permitted at the top of the pole. In addition, a stainless steel guide cable or equivalent shall be attached to the inside of the pole shaft to prevent the twisting of the lowering and elec trical cables during the raise- lower operation. Each of the stainless steel lowering cables s hall be capable of supporting the entire lowering assembly. When the luminaire ring assembly is in the fully raised positi on, a mechanism for securing the luminaire ring to the head assembly shall be provi ded. Such mechanism shall provide support for the lowering ring and shall latch the ring to the head assembly thus permitting the removal of all tension on the cables. All mecha nisms shall be designed to provide the operator with a positive means of ascertaining when the raising operation is complete and the ring assembly is in the proper resting positio n. The inner portion of the lower ing ring shall be equipped with a protective bumper or roller system which will prevent damage to the pole shaft surfa ce and preclude excessive swing during the lowering-raising operation. Winches shall be operated by an appropriately geared 120 volt e lectric drive motor with adjustable torque limiter that can be easily hand-transported. One drive motor assembly shall be furnished which will operate all units. A rubber cover ed heavy-duty type "SO" rated 600 volt cable with connectors shall be provided to test the lu minaires when they are in a fully lowered position. 7-52 An approved junction box shall be installed in the hand hole o f each pole that will accommodate the terminations of the underground cable with the cable in the pole serving the luminaires and to include a 480 volt grounded receptacle. Secondary lightning arresters shall be rated for 650 volts RMS and shall be designed for outdoor use. The arresters shall be installed in each phas e conductor to ground and shall be attached in or on the luminaire lowering device in a locatio n accessible for inspection and servicing when the device is lowered.
