| | APPLICATION #09010116 ELECTRICAL PLAN REVIEW |
| | 7915 S. DIXIE HIGHWAY 1/28/09 |
| | WEST PALM BEACH, FL. |
| | |
| | THIS REVIEW WAS DONE UNDER THESE CURRENT CODE CYCLES: |
| | THE 2004 FLORIDA BUILDING CODE, 2007 REVISIONS, 2005 |
| | NEC, NFPA-72 2002, NFPA-101 2003, 2004 FBC AS AMENDED, |
| | CHAPTER 1.AND FOUND NONCOMPLIANT WITH THE FOLLOWING: |
| | |
| | 1} THE EMERGENCY GENERATOR AS IT CURRENTLY EXISTS IS IN |
| | VIOLATION OF THE FOLLOWING CODES: |
| | |
| | A) 700.12(B)(3) DUAL SUPPLIES- PRIME MOVERS SHALL NOT |
| | BE SOLELY DEPENDENT ON A PUBLIC UTILITY GAS SYSTEM FOR |
| | THEIR FUEL SUPPLY OR MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY FOR THEIR |
| | COOLING SYSTEMS. MEANS SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR |
| | AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRING FROM ONE FUEL SUPPLY TO |
| | ANOTHER WHERE DUAL FUEL SUPPLIES ARE USED. |
| | B) NFPA-110 7.2 LOCATION. 7.2.1.1 THE ROOM SHALL HAVE A |
| | MINIMUM 2-HOUR FIRE RATING OR BE LOCATED IN AN ADEQUATE |
| | ENCLOSURE LOCATED OUTSIDE THE BUILDING CAPABLE OF |
| | RESISTING THE ENTRANCE OF SNOW OR RAIN AT A MAXIMUM |
| | WIND VELOCITY REQUIRED BY LOCAL BUILDING CODES. |
| | C) 7.2.1.2 NO OTHER EQUIPMENT, INCLUDING ARCHITECTURAL |
| | APPURTENANCES, EXCEPT THOSE THAT SERVE THIS SPACE, |
| | SHALL BE PERMITTED IN THIS ROOM. |
| | D) 7.2.2 EPSS EQUIPMENT SHALL NOT BE INSTALLED IN THE |
| | SAME ROOM WHERE THE NORMAL ELECTRICAL SERVICE EQUIPMENT |
| | IS INSTALLED. |
| | |
| | NOTE: IF THERE ARE NO LEGALLY REQUIRED SYSTEMS IN THE |
| | BUILDING BEING FED FROM THE EXISTING GENERATOR THEN IT |
| | ALSO BECOMES AN "OPTIONAL STANDBY SYSTEM" AND NONE OF |
| | THE ABOVE COMMENTS APPLY. AS I DISCUSSED WITH MR. |
| | VARGAS WHEN I REVIEWED THE PLANS PREVIOUSLY, IF THE |
| | REQUIRED EMERGENCY LIGHTING WHERE BATTERY BACK UP ALL |
| | ISSUES ARE SOLVED. |
| | |
| | 2} THE "EXISTING SINGLE LINE DIAGRAM" ON SHEET E-1 DOES |
| | NOT CORRELATE WITH THE ELECTRICAL |
| | RISER DIAGRAM SUBMITTED FOR PERMIT NUMBER 08040571, |
| | WHICH SHOWS PANEL "CP" FED FROM THE "EM" PANEL. |
| | |
| | 3} IT IS NOT CLEAR IN THE SPECIFICATIONS IF THE ATS IS |
| | CAPABLE OF DISCONNECTING UTILITY POWER AND GENERATOR |
| | POWER. THAT APPEARS FUNCTION TO BE AN OPTION, PLEASE |
| | CLARIFY. |
| | |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CALL. |
