| | PERMITS BASED ON PRIME PERMIT APPLIED FOR THIS SCOPE OF |
| | WORK FROM 2005. THE BASE PERMIT IS 05041896. |
| | THERE ARE ITEMS ON PLANS WHICH DO NOT SHOW UP ON RECORD |
| | PLANS SUBMITTED IN LAST 10YEARS. THE EXPIRED APPLIED |
| | SCOPE OF WORK AS MENTIONED SHOWS SOME OF THIS WORK TO |

| | OF DEVICES. |
| | |
| | 6) NOTE: PLEASE SEE RISER AND PANEL SCHEDULES AS THERE |
| | ARE SEVERAL INCONSISTENCIES. BELOW ARE SOME EXAMPLES |
| | HOWEVER THESE ARE ARE NOT ALL. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE MAIN DISTRIBUTION PANEL AS THIS |
| | INDICATES A FEED TO DP1 THROUGH A TRANSFORMER HOWEVER |
| | THE RISER DOES NOT INDICATE ANY TRANSFORMER AND BOTH |
| | MAIN SWITCH BOARD AND DP1 IS 277/480. PLEASE CORRECT. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE RISER WHICH INDICATES PANEL EK AS |
| | EXISTING YET THE SCHEDULE SHOWS THIS AS NEW. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE RISER WHICH INDICATES PANEL K AS |
| | EXISTING YET THE SCHEDULE SUBMITTED SHOWS THIS AS NEW. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: NOTES ON RISER SHEETS MENTIONS SOME |
| | TRANSFORMER WILL BE CHANGED TO 75 KVA YET THE RISER |
| | SHOWS BOTH OF THEM AS 45KVA. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE HU2 ON RISER WHICH INDICATES AS |
| | 80AMP BREAKER TO THE TRANSFORMER YET THE PANEL SCHEDULE |
| | INDICATES 90AMP BREAKER. |
| | |
| | THESE ARE SOME EXAMPLES ONLY WHICH ELECTRICAL RISER AND |
| | PANELS NEED SOME COORDINATION. |
| | |
| | NEC 230,215,240,408,220, ETC |
| | FBC 106.1.1, 106.3.5.1.2 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, |
| | CLARITY AND COORDINATION. |
| | |
| | 7) NOTE: PLEASE COORDINATE ALL CIRCUITING ON PLANS WITH |

| | WITH WHAT IS SHOWN ON THE PLANS WITH CIRCUITS WHICH ARE |
| | SHOWN ON SCHEDULES. SOME CIRCUITS ON PANELS WHICH ARE |
| | ON PLANS ARE BLANK, SOME ARE SPARES, AND MANY ARE NOTED |
| | FOR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND CIRCUITS WHICH ARE NOT THE |
| | SAME ON PLANS. BELOW ARE SOME EXAMPLES AND IS IN NO WAY |
| | ALL ITEMS. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE PLANS AS SOME CIRCUITS ARE LABELED |
| | WITH AN *XXX-XX* ETC |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE CIRCUIT K-23 ON PLANS AS THIS IS |
| | BLANK ON SCHEDULE. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE K 16, AND 18 AS THESE ARE NOTED AS |
| | THE DISHWASHERS ON PLANS YET THE PANEL SCHEDULE |
| | INDICATES THESE ARE MICROWAVES. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE EK-23,25,27 ON PLAN AS ALL OF THESE |
| | ARE BLANK ON THE PANEL SCHEDULE. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE EK-14, 12 WHICH ARE SHOWN ON PLAN |
| | FOR REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER EQUIPMENT YET THE PANEL |
| | SCHEDULES INDICATES A BREAKER FOR LIGHTING AND THE |
| | OTHER IS SHOWN AS A SPARE. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE K-29 WHICH IS SHOWN ON PLANS |
| | FEEDING GFI RECEPTACLES FOR BATH ROOM ETC YET THE PANEL |
| | SCHEDULE INDICATES THIS AS LIGHTING. |
| | |
| | EXAMPLE: PLEASE SEE CIRCUITS EK 4, AND 6 WHICH IS SHOWN |
| | AS REFRIGERATOR EQUIPMENT YET THE PANEL SCHEDULE |
| | INDICATES A 3-POLE BREAKER FOR SUMP PUMPS. |
| | |
| | *** THESE ARE ONLY SOME OF THE EXAMPLES IN WHICH |
| | COORDINATION IS NEEDED. THERE ARE OTHERS HOWEVER THIS |
| | REVIEW IS GIVING SOME EXAMPLES AS BENEFIT TO THE |
| | DESIGNER OF RECORD. |
| | PLEASE SEE THE SECTION OF 408.4 WHICH WAS EXTRACTED |
| | FROM THE 2005 NEC. |
| | |
| | 408.4 CIRCUIT DIRECTORY OR CIRCUIT IDENTIFICATION |
| | EVERY CIRCUIT AND CIRCUIT MODIFICATION SHALL BE LEGIBLY |
| | IDENTIFIED AS TO ITS CLEAR, EVIDENT, AND SPECIFIC |
| | PURPOSE OR USE. THE IDENTIFICATION SHALL INCLUDE |
| | SUFFICIENT DETAIL TO ALLOW EACH CIRCUIT TO BE |
| | DISTINGUISHED FROM ALL OTHERS. THE IDENTIFICATION SHALL |
| | BE INCLUDED IN A CIRCUIT DIRECTORY THAT IS LOCATED ON |
| | THE FACE OR INSIDE OF THE PANEL DOOR IN THE CASE OF A |
| | PANELBOARD, AND LOCATED AT EACH SWITCH ON A |
| | SWITCHBOARD. |
| | THE REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE AN UP-TO-DATE, ACCURATE, AND |
| | LEGIBLE CIRCUIT DIRECTORY APPLIES TO PANELBOARDS AND |
| | SWITCHBOARDS COVERED IN ARTICLE 408. THE CIRCUIT |
| | DIRECTORY IS AN IMPORTANT FEATURE FOR THE SAFE |
| | OPERATION OF AN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNDER NORMAL AND |
| | EMERGENCY CONDITIONS. THE PURPOSE OF AN ACCURATE AND |
| | LEGIBLE CIRCUIT DIRECTORY IN THESE TYPES OF EQUIPMENT |
| | IS TO PROVIDE CLEAR IDENTIFICATION OF CIRCUIT BREAKERS |
| | AND SWITCHES THAT MAY NEED TO BE OPERATED BY SERVICE |
| | PERSONNEL OR THOSE WHO NEED TO OPERATE A SWITCH OR |
| | CIRCUIT BREAKER IN AN EMERGENCY. THIS REQUIREMENT IS |
| | SPECIFIC TO SWITCHBOARDS AND PANELBOARDS; HOWEVER, THE |
| | IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS OF 110.22 APPLY TO ALL |
| | DISCONNECTING MEANS. |
| | SECTION 408.4 WAS REVISED FOR THE 2005 CODE TO REQUIRE |
| | THAT THE IDENTIFICATION FOR EVERY CIRCUIT SUPPLIED BY A |
| | PANELBOARD 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. |
| | |
| | NEC 408.4, 310.16,240.4 ETC |
| | FBC 106.1.1, 106.3.5.1.2 FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION, |
| | COORDINATION AND CLARITY OF PLANS. |
| | |
| | 8) NOTE: PLEASE SEE 450.3 AS THE OVER CURRENT |
| | PROTECTION ON RISER FOR TRANSFORMER FEEDING PANEL *K* |
| | IS TOO HIGH. THE RISER DOES CONTAIN A SCHEDULE WHICH |
| | NOTES OVER CURRENT PROTECTION AT THE MAXIMUM OF 125%. |
| | HOWEVER THE RISER STILL ALSO SHOWS THIS SAME |
| | TRANSFORMER AS A 45KVA UNIT. IF THIS UNIT IS REVISED TO |
| | 75KVA THEN THE 90AMP OCP WOULD BE OK. |
| | |
| | 9) NOTE: PLEASE SEE FBC 13-415.1.ABC.1.1,.1.2, .1.3 AND |
| | .1.4 FOR MISSING LIGHTING CONTROLS FOR ALL NEW LIGHTING |
| | BEING INSTALLED. AS NO DEVICES OR SYSTEM IS BEING SHOWN |
| | AT THIS TIME NO REVIEW OF THESE CAN BE DONE. |
| | |
| | 10) NOTE: PLEASE COMPLETE A FIXTURE LEGEND FOR SPECIFIC |
| | FIXTURES. PLEASE SUBMIT LIGHTING PERFORMANCE |
| | CALCULATIONS FOR ALL AREAS IN SCOPE OF WORK. PLEASE SEE |
| | FBC 13-415.2, 13-415.2.ABC.1.1,.1.2 AND .1.3. |
| | PLEASE KNOW AS NO PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS WERE |
| | SUBMITTED IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO SUPPLY ANY REVIEW |
| | COMMENTS ON THOSE ITEMS. |
| | |
| | 11) NOTE: PLEASE KNOW ANY LOW VOLTAGE FOR SOUND, ACCESS |
| | CONTROL WILL BE REQUIRED TO BE UNDER SEPARATE PERMIT, |
| | WITH PLANS AND FEES BASED ON THAT SCOPE OF WORK. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | **IMPORTANT** |
| | ONCE AUDIT/REVIEWS ARE COMPLETE AND PLANS ARE PICKED UP |
| | FOR CORRECTIONS, PLEASE BE SURE TO COMPLETELY REMOVE |
| | ALL OLD/VOIDED SHEETS AND ONLY INSERT NEW REVISED |
| | SHEETS INTO TWO COMPLETE SETS FOR REVIEW AND STAMPING. |
| | DO NOT LEAVE ANY OLD/VOIDED SHEETS IN SETS. |
| | PLEASE DO NOT ATTACH SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS TO PLANS. ANY |
| | ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION SUCH AS PRODUCT APPROVALS, |
| | SPEC/CUT SHEETS, CALCULATIONS ETC SHOULD BE PLACED INTO |
| | TWO SETS/FOLDERS/BINDERS ETC. |
| | PLEASE KNOW ONLY ONE SET OF THE OLD/VOIDED SHEETS |
| | SHOULD BE SUBMITTED FOR REFERENCE. |
| | THIS WILL HELP IN THE AUDIT/REVIEW PROCESS AND AVOID |
| | ANY DELAYS. |
| | |
| | |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS; OR IF COMMENTS ARE NOT |
| | TYPED IN A CLEAR MANOR PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO |
| | CONTACT THIS REVIEWER. |
