| | ** PLEASE SEE RISER HAS CHANGED FROM PREVIOUS PLANS AND |
| | PLEASE SEE ITEMS WHICH WERE REDLINED FROM PREVIOUS |
| | PLANS FROM 4/28/06 WHICH WERE NOT ADJUSTED AS MENTIONED |
| | ON PLANS TO BE DONE BEFORE ROUGH. |
| | |
| | 1) NOTE: PLEASE SEE SERVICE HAS NOW COMPLETELY CHANGED |
| | TO INCLUDE SERVICE AT 400AMPS HOWEVER GROUNDING |
| | ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR WAS NOT INCREASED PER 250.66, |
| | 310.15B6. (1/0) |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PLEASE PLANS STILL INDICATE A MAIN DISCONNECT |
| | OUTSIDE WHERE RISER DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS. |
| | PLEASE CORRELATE RISER AND PLANS. |
| | PLEASE SEE LOAD CALCULATIONS ALSO CALL FOR A 300AMP |
| | SERVICE AS SHOWN ON PREVIOUS PLANS HOWEVER PLANS NOW |
| | SHOW 400AMP SERVICE. |
| | PLEASE SEE THAT THE RISER NOW SHOWS PANEL *B* AS |
| | 200AMPS WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE 2-100AMP BREAKERS SHOWN |
| | ON RISER?? IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT THIS IS? |
| | PLEASE SEE THE SERVICE ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS OR FEEDERS |
| | DEPENDING IF THERE IS A MAIN OUTSIDE ARE NOT RATED FOR |
| | THE NEW 200AMP RATED MAIN. |
| | PLEASE CORRELATE SEVERAL ITEMS ON PLANS AND RISER. |
| | PLEASE SEE 310.15B6, 310.16, 240.4, 230.70 ETC FOR THE |

| | 5) NOTE: PLEASE KNOW THAT A MEETING WAS HELD AT THE |
| | SOUTHERN SECTION MEETING IN OCT 06 WHERE WE WERE |
| | DIRECTLY INFORMED BY NFPA THAT THE USE OF SD FOR SMOKE |
| | DETECTORS ON PLANS FOR RESIDENTIAL HOMES IS NOT |
| | ACCEPTABLE WHEN THESE DEVICES ANY ACTUALLY FALL UNDER |
| | THE DEFINITIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS WHICH WOULD BE SHOWN AS |
| | SA/SMOKE ALARMS. |
| | THIS INFORMATION WAS NEW TO THIS AHJ AS THE GENERAL USE |
| | OF THE SD FOR SMOKE DETECTORS WAS ALWAYS ACCEPTED. BY |
| | THE DEFINITIONS AS STATED IN NFPA-72 A SD/ SMOKE |
| | DETECTOR IS ONLY A DEVICE WHICH WILL DETECT AND WILL |
| | NOT SOUND AN AUDIBLE ALARM. THIS WOULD BE DONE BY |
| | HORN/SIREN TYPE DEVICES. PLEASE SEE THE DEFINITIONS OF |
| | SA/SMOKE ALARMS; THESE ARE DEVICES WHICH ARE 120V (AS |
| | SHOWN) AND WOULD DETECT AND SOUND AN ALARM. THIS IS |
| | SOMETHING THAT IS NOW BEING COMMENTED ON OTHER REVIEWS |
| | FOR OTHER NEW HOMES. |
| | ** PLEASE SEE THAT SMOKE ALARMS ARE STATED IN THE FBC |
| | RESIDENTIAL CODE/ FBC AND IN NFPA-72. |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS COMMENT PLEASE DO |
| | NOT HESITATE IN CONTACTING THIS OFFICE*. |
| | PLEASE SEE NFPA-72 11.5.1.1, 11.8.3 |
| | |
| | 6) NOTE: PLEASE KNOW THAT COMPLETE PANEL SCHEDULES |
| | SHOWING ALL ROOMS AND AREAS IN WHICH CIRCUITS FEED WILL |
| | BE REQUIRED FOR EACH PANEL. PLEASE SEE TEXT WHICH IS |
| | TAKEN FROM COMMENTARY IN THE CODE WHICH STATES THE USE |
| | OF *GEN LT* ETC IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. |
| | |
| | *CODE TO REQUIRE THAT THE IDENTIFICATION FOR EVERY |
| | CIRCUIT SUPPLIED BY A PANEL-BOARD OR SWITCHBOARD BE |
| | LEGIBLE AND CLEARLY STATE THE SPECIFIC PURPOSE FOR |
| | WHICH THE CIRCUIT IS USED. CIRCUITS USED FOR THE SAME |
| | PURPOSE MUST BE IDENTIFIED AS TO THEIR LOCATION. FOR |
| | EXAMPLE, SMALL APPLIANCE BRANCH CIRCUITS CAN SUPPLY |
| | OUTLETS IN THE KITCHEN, DINING ROOM, AND KITCHEN |
| | COUNTERTOPS. IDENTIFYING THE CIRCUITS AS SMALL |
| | APPLIANCE BRANCH CIRCUITS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE; INSTEAD, |
| | THEY SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED AS ``KITCHEN WALL |
| | RECEPTACLES,'' ``DINING ROOM FLOOR RECEPTACLE,'' OR |
| | ``KITCHEN COUNTERTOP RECEPTACLES LEFT OF SINK.'' |
| | CIRCUIT DIRECTORIES CONTAINING MULTIPLE ENTRIES WITH |
| | ONLY ``LIGHTS'' OR ``OUTLETS'' DO NOT PROVIDE THE |
| | SUFFICIENT DETAIL REQUIRED BY THIS SECTION.* PLEASE |
| | INCLUDE THESE IN TWO SEPARATE PANEL SCHEDULE(S) AND |
| | DEPENDING ON RISER BASED ON NOTES ABOVE IT BEING |
| | UNCLEAR WHAT THE TWO 100AMP BREAKERS ARE? |
