| | GROUNDED TO ACHIEVE GROUND-FAULT SENSING. |
| | PLEASE SEE AN ATTACHED BRIEF EXPLANATION FROM *ASCO* |
| | WHITE PAPER: WHERE GROUND FAULT PROTECTION IS TRIGGERED |
| | BY THE CODE AND AN ALTERNATE POWER SUPPLY IS INCLUDED, |
| | SWITCHING OF THE NEUTRAL BECOMES NECESSARY. THE CIRCUIT |
| | SHOWN ABOVE ILLUSTRATES SUCH A CIRCUMSTANCE. THE |
| | SERVICE IS LARGER THAN 1,000 AMPS. CONSEQUENTLY, GROUND |
| | FAULT PROTECTION IS REQUIRED AT THE MAIN SERVICE |
| | DISCONNECT AT A MINIMUM. IF IT IS INSTALLED THERE AND |
| | THE GENERATOR NEUTRAL GROUNDING WAS THROUGH A SOLID |
| | CONNECTION TO THE MAIN SERVICE NEUTRAL, A GROUND FAULT |
| | WHEN THE GENERATOR IS FEEDING THE LOAD WILL CAUSE THE |
| | MAIN SERVICE DISCONNECT TO OPEN. THIS WILL NOT |
| | DISCONNECT THE ARCING FAULT FROM THE GENERATOR. |
| | COORDINATION IS THUS LOST." |

| | 17) NOTE: PLEASE CORRELATE PLANS AS THE ELECTRICAL |
| | PLANS INDICATE A 150HP 480V FIRE PUMP AND THE FIRE |
| | PROTECTION SHEETS INDICATE A 125HP 480V PUMP. PLEASE |
| | KNOW AT THIS TIME REVIEW OF THE RISER CONDUCTORS CAN |
| | NOT BE DONE AS IT IS NOT KNOWN WHICH ONE IS BEING |
| | INSTALLED. |
| | FBC 106.1.2 |
| | |
| | 18) NOTE: PLEASE SHOW ALL CONTINUOUS LOADS AT 125%. |

| | ** IMPORTANT** |
| | ONCE ALL REVIEWS ARE DONE AND PLANS ARE |
| | PICKED UP FOR CORRECTIONS, PLEASE BE |
