| | COMMENT HAS BEEN MADE ON EACH OF THE PREVIOUS REVIEWS. |
| | |
| | A) PLEASE SEE THE PANEL SCHEDULE AT THE TOP MENTIONS |
| | "LOAD IN (AMPS)" HOWEVER THIS SEEMS TO BE IMPOSSIBLE AS |
| | SHOWN. SOME SHOWN IN AMPS, AND OTHER SHOWN IN VA. |
| | |
| | B) PLEASE SEE FOR INSTANCE THE LOAD FOR THE RANGE IS |
| | SHOWN AT 40A?S, HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT CORRELATE WITH |
| | THE VA IN LOAD CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | C) PLEASE SEE SEVERAL OTHER CIRCUITS WHICH LOADS ARE |
| | SHOWN IN AMPS WHICH IS OK, HOWEVER THE AMPERAGE AS |
| | SHOWN NEEDS TO CORRELATE WITH THE VA SHOWN IN THE LOAD |
| | CALCULATIONS TO THE LET OF THE PANEL SCHEDULE. |
| | |
| | D) PLEASE THEN SEE SOME LOADS ON PANEL SCHEDULE ARE |
| | BEING SHOWN IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE VA FOR EACH |
| | CIRCUIT. (EXAMPLE, PLEASE SEE SMALL APPLIANCE CIRCUITS |
| | SHOWN AT 1.5? ARE THESE AMPS AS NOTED ON PANEL SCHEDULE |
| | OR THE ACTUAL VA, WHICH IS 1500VA? PLEASE ALSO SEE BATH |
| | ROOM CIRCUIT ETC. |
| | |
| | E) PLEASE SEE TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD ON PANEL SCHEDULE |
| | SHOWS 20.8, YET LOAD CALCULATIONS INDICATE 19,768. |
| | |
| | F) PLEASE SEE WASHER IS STILL BEING SHOWN ON A SINGLE |
| | POLE 30A CIRCUIT WITH #10 AWG, YET PLEASE SEE UPPER |
| | PLANS WHICH MENTION A 10AMP CIRCUIT FOR WASHER? (THE |
| | MINIMUM REQUIRED AND LOADS NEED TO CORRELATE FOR THIS. |
| | PLEASE ALSO SEE 210.21(B)3 FOR MAX OVER CURRENT |
| | PROTECTION FOR A RECEPTACLE DEVICE. |
| | |
| | G) PLEASE SEE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF PLANS WHICH |
| | STILL INDICATE A 20A /240V CIRCUIT FOR BATHROOM. |
| | |
| | H) PLEASE SEE LOAD ON REFRIGERATOR ON LOAD CALCULATIONS |
| | INDICATE 1500VA, YET, THE AMPERAGE ON THE PANEL |
| | SCHEDULE ONLY SHOWS 12A'S? PLEASE CORRELATE |
| | |
| | I) PLEASE SEE PANEL SCHEDULE IS STILL ONLY SHOWING 18 |
| | CIRCUITS, WHERE PANEL SCHEDULE IS NOTED AS HAVING 24. |
| | PLEASE SEE THERE ARE TWO SPACES WHICH INDICATE 20A |
| | BREAKERS BEING INSTALLED, HOWEVER NO LOADS ARE SHOWN. |
| | IF THESE ARE SPARES, PLEASE INDICATE AS SUCH. |
| | |
| | J) PLEASE SEE HOUSE PANEL WHICH IS SHOWING 1500VA FOR |
| | EACH LIGHTING CIRCUIT, YET PANEL SCHEDULE LOAD IN AMPS |
| | IS SHOWN MUCH LESS. |
| | PLEASE SEE TOTAL CONNECTED LOAD AS SHOWN ON PANEL |
| | SCHEDULE AND THAT OF THE LOAD SHOW IN LOAD CALCULATIONS |
| | ARE NOT THE SAME. |
| | |
| | K) PLEASE SEE RESPONSE LETTER MENTIONS THE DRYER IS NOW |
| | REMOVED AS SHOWN ON PANEL SCHEDULE AND CIRCUITS FROM |
| | PREVIOUS PLANS, HOWEVER PLEASE SEE PLANS STILL INDICATE |
| | 240V CIRCUITS TO TWO OF THESE LOCATIONS.PLEASE SEE |
| | PLANS SHOW 16/18 FOR UNITS FC AND FA. PLEASE CORRELATE |
| | CIRCUITING ON PLANS WITH THAT OF THE CIRCUITING ON |
| | PANEL SCHEDULE(S) TYPICAL. |

| | |
| | "THE BRANCH CIRCUIT FEEDING THE UNIT EQUIPMENT SHALL BE |
| | THE SAME BRANCH CIRCUIT AS THAT SERVING THE NORMAL |

| | BEING CONNECTED TO A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM WHICH WOULD BE |
| | LOW VOLTAGE WHICH IS NOT SHOWN. |
| | IF THESE ARE 110/120V UNITS AND THEY ARE DETECTION AND |
