| | |
| | 1) NOTE: PLEASE SEE AS STATED ON THE PREVIOUS REVIEW, |
| | WHEN THE AMOUNT OF DECORATIVE AND/OR RECESSED LIGHTING |
| | EXCEEDS THAT OF THE NORMAL 3VA PER SQ FT, THEN THE |
| | HIGHER AMOUNT SHALL BE FIGURED. PLEASE SEE THAT THE |
| | WATTAGE BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF EACH OF THESE TYPES OF |
| | FIXTURES DO EXCEED THE 3VA PER SQ FT.THIS WAS |
| | CONFIRMED BY THE CODE PANELIST AND THE AHJ IS THE |
| | DETERMINING AUTHORITY.PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING TEXT |
| | WHICH IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE 2005 NEC. |
| | |
| | *D) LUMINAIRES (LIGHTING FIXTURES) AN OUTLET SUPPLYING |
| | LUMINAIRE(S) [LIGHTING FIXTURE(S)] SHALL BE CALCULATED |
| | BASED ON THE MAXIMUM VOLT-AMPERE RATING OF THE |
| | EQUIPMENT AND LAMPS FOR WHICH THE LUMINAIRE(S) |
| | [FIXTURE(S)] IS RATED. |
| | IN GENERAL, NO ADDITIONAL CALCULATION IS REQUIRED FOR |
| | LUMINAIRES (RECESSED AND SURFACE MOUNTED) INSTALLED IN |
| | OR ON A DWELLING UNIT, BECAUSE THE LOAD OF SUCH |
| | LUMINAIRES IS COVERED IN THE 3 VOLT-AMPERES PER SQUARE |
| | FOOT CALCULATION SPECIFIED BY TABLE 220.12. WHERE THE |
| | RATING OF THE LUMINAIRES INSTALLED FOR GENERAL LIGHTING |
| | EXCEEDS THE MINIMUM LOAD PROVIDED FOR IN TABLE 220.12, |
| | THE MINIMUM GENERAL LIGHTING LOAD FOR THAT PREMISES IS |
| | TO BE BASED ON THE INSTALLED LUMINAIRES. DISTINGUISHING |
| | BETWEEN THE LUMINAIRES INSTALLED FOR GENERAL LIGHTING |
| | VERSUS THOSE INSTALLED FOR ACCENT, SPECIALTY OR DISPLAY |
| | LIGHTING IS MUCH EASIER TO DELINEATE IN COMMERCIAL |
| | (PARTICULARLY MERCANTILE) OCCUPANCIES. |
| | |
| | AS STATED, *IN GENERAL* AN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT IS NOT |
| | NEEDED ONLY WHEN THE FIXTURES ARE USED FOR NORMAL |
| | GENERAL LIGHTING. WHEN THE FIXTURES EXCEED THE GENERAL |
| | LIGHTING USE AS THIS IS DONE ON THIS PLAN, THEN THE |
| | ADDITIONAL SHALL BE FIGURED. |
| | THIS REVIEW IS BEING PASSED AS THE SERVICE IS KNOWN TO |
| | BE OF SUFFICIENT SIZE HOWEVER RECORD PLANS ARE TO BE |
| | CORRECTED FOR CODE COMPLIANCE. |
| | |
