| | AMPS X 125%=49 AMPS. |
| | |
| | 9} THERE ARE ONLY 3 A/C SYSTEMS ON THE MECHANICAL PLANS |
| | AND FOUR ON THE ELECTRICAL, CORRELATE SAME.ALSO SEE THE |

| | SCHEDULES AT 9.5K. CORRELATE THESE PLANS. |
| | |
| | 10} THE SUB PANEL FEED FROM PANEL "A" TO "B" LISTS |
| | NUMBER #8 CONDUCTORS ON A 60 AMP BREAKER IN VIOLATION |
| | OF 310.16. NOTE THE LOAD @ 14KW IS 59 AMPS. |
| | |
| | 11} THE SMALL APPLIANCE CIRCUIT #A8 IS NOT SHOWN ON THE |
| | FLOOR PLAN CIRCUIT #A26 SEEMS TO BE THE ONLY SMALL |
