| | APPLICATION #09020052 ELECTRICAL PLAN REVIEW |
| | 101 S. FLAGLER DRIVE 2/27/09 |
| | 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 2006, 2004 FBC AS AMENDED, |
| | CHAPTER 1.AND FOUND NONCOMPLIANT WITH THE FOLLOWING: |
| | |
| | 1} SEE BUILDING COMMENT (# 6) REGARDING FS 255.2575. |
| | INDICATE RATING SYSTEM AND LEVEL DESIGNED TOO. |
| | |
| | THESE COMMENTS ARE REGARDING THE RISER DIAGRAM ON SHEET |
| | E-4.0. |
| | |
| | 2}THE EQUIPMENT GROUND BETWEEN THE TRANSFORMER AND |
| | "SWBD-WP" CREATES A PARALLEL PATH TO GROUND WITH THE |
| | NEUTRAL AND MUST BE REMOVED. AN ISOLATED NEUTRAL AND |
| | EQUIPMENT GROUND ARE TO BE RAN FROM THE FIRST MEANS OF |
| | DISCONNECT. 250.6. |
| | |
| | 3} THE FEED FOR PANEL "WF" FROM "PSL" IS 3-#6 CU. PSL |
| | SCHEDULE CIRCUIT 43, 45,47 DO NOT INDICATE A WIRE OR |
| | CONDUIT SIZE, LIST SAME 408.4, AND HAS 100 AMP OCP IN |
| | VIOLATION OF 310.16 (MAX 65 AMPS) FOR THOSE CONDUCTORS. |
| | |
| | 4} THE SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM FEED FROM "SWBD-WP" IS FROM A |
| | 50 AMP BREAKER (ALSO A 50 AMP FUSIBLE DISCONNECT ON |
| | SHEET E-16) 'SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM SCHEMATIC'. NOTE #3, |
| | SHEET E-40 STATES CONTRACTOR SUPPLIED 30 AMP BREAKER. |
| | CORRELATE THESE ITEMS WITH THE INSTALLATION |
| | SPECIFICATIONS. 408.4 |
| | |
| | 5} INDICATE HOW THE 300 AMPS FOR "MECHANICAL" LOAD WAS |
| | CALCULATED. 220 NEC. |
| | |
| | 6} PER 215.2(A) (1) GENERAL FEEDER CONDUCTORS SHALL |
| | HAVE AN AMPACITY NOT LESS THAN REQUIRED TO SUPPLY THE |
| | LOAD AS CALCULATED IN PARTS III, IV, AND V OF ARTICLE |
| | 220. THE MINIMUM FEEDER-CIRCUIT CONDUCTOR SIZE, BEFORE |
| | THE APPLICATION OF ANY ADJUSTMENT OR CORRECTION |
| | FACTORS, SHALL HAVE AN ALLOWABLE AMPACITY NOT LESS THAN |
| | THE NONCONTINUOUS LOAD PLUS 125 PERCENT OF THE |
| | CONTINUOUS LOAD. NO CONTINUOUS LOADS WERE SHOWN IN THE |
| | CALCULATIONS (LUMINAIRES). |
| | |
| | 7} SHEET E-5.0 NOTE #1 UNDER LIGHTING CONTROL RELAY |
| | PANEL INCORRECTLY REFERENCES SHEET E-23. THE SCHEDULES |
| | ARE ON E-24. |
| | |
| | 8} SHEET E6.0 LIGHTING FIXTURE COUNTS AND TYPES ARE NOT |
| | ALL INCLUDED INPUT DATA REPORT AND WATTAGES GIVEN ON |
| | SHEET E-17.0 DO NOT CORRELATE WITH THAT REPORT. THIS |
| | PROJECT MUST COMPLY WITH CHAPTER 13 FBC. SEE |
| | 13-415.1ABC.1.1 FOR TIME CLOCK REQUIREMENTS AND FOR |
| | LIGHTING DENSITIES. ALL THAT IS REQUIRED FOR THE |
| | ELECTRICAL REVIEW IS THE BASIC PRESCRIPTIVE |
| | REQUIREMENTS. SEE 13-415.2.ABC.1 PERFORMANCE |
| | CALCULATION PROCEDURES, GENERAL. |
| | THE INTERIOR LIGHTING POWER ALLOWANCE FOR A BUILDING OR |
| | A SEPARATELY METERED OR PERMITTED PORTION OF A BUILDING |
| | SHALL BE DETERMINED BY EITHER THE BUILDING AREA METHOD |
| | DESCRIBED IN SECTION 415.2.C.1 OR THE SPACE-BY-SPACE |
| | METHOD DESCRIBED IN SECTION 415.2.B.1. THE INSTALLED |
| | INTERIOR LIGHTING POWER IDENTIFIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | SECTION 415.2.ABC.1.1 SHALL NOT EXCEED THE INTERIOR |
| | LIGHTING POWER ALLOWANCE DEVELOPED IN ACCORDANCE WITH |
| | SECTION 415.2.C.1 OR 415.2.B.1. THIS CAN BE |
| | DEMONSTRATED ON THE PLANS INDICATING THE WATTAGES OF |
| | THE LUMINAIRES CHOSEN FOR THE PROJECT CONFORM TO THE |
| | DENSITY REQUIREMENTS. INDICATE WATTAGES ON THE FIXTURE |
| | SCHEDULE TO CORRELATE WITH THE ONES IN THE |
| | CALCULATIONS. |
| | |
| | 9} SEE 13-415.2.ABC.1.2 FOR TRACK LIGHTING, ALSO NOT |
| | LISTED IN THE FIXTURE SCHEDULE. |
| | |
| | 10} ON SHEET E7.0 THE CIRCUIT NUMBERS FOR AHU #2 ARE |
| | MISSING. 408.4 NEC. |
| | |
| | 11} THE WATER COOLER CIRCUIT NUMBERS IS MISSING. 408.4 |
| | |
| | 12} NO PANEL DESIGNATION OR CIRCUIT NUMBERS ARE GIVEN |
| | FOR AHU#3 IN THE ELECTRICAL ROOM, ALSO SEE |
| | 110.26(F)(1)(B) REGARDING THE LOCATION OF THAT UNIT. |
| | |
| | 13} SHEET E-10.0. & E-11.0 PROVIDE DENSITY CALCULATIONS |
| | PER 13-415.2.ABC.1.3 EXTERIOR BUILDING LIGHTING POWER. |
| | |
| | 14} SHEET E-16.0 PROVIDE MANUFACTURERS INSTALLATION |
| | INSTRUCTIONS AND WIRING DIAGRAM FOR THE SOLAR PANEL |
| | SYSTEM. ALSO SEE 30 AMP DISCONNECT IN THE MAIN |
| | ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ROOM PRESUMABLY FOR THE SOLAR |
| | SYSTEM, SEE COMMENT #4. |
| | |
| | 15} WIND LOAD CALCULATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED FOR THE F8 |
| | FIXTURE ON SHEET E-16.0 AS NOTE #1 INDICATES, BEFORE IT |
| | CAN BECOME PART OF THIS PERMIT.1609.1 FBC. |
| | |
| | 16} THE MAIN ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ROOM SHOWN ON SHEET |
| | E-16.0 SHOWS ONE EXIT DOOR ON THE EAST SIDE OF THE |
| | ROOM. SHEETS E-2.0 AND E-10.0 SHOW A SECOND DOOR ON THE |
| | SOUTH SIDE UNDER AHU #3 IS TO BE LOCATED. CORRELATE THE |
| | SHEETS TO SHOW THE DESIGNERS INTENT. 106.1.1 FBC AS |
| | AMENDED. |
| | |
| | 17} SHEET E-16.0 SOLAR PANEL SYSTEM SCHEMATIC. |
| | REGARDING GROUNDING-690.47(C) (1) A GROUNDING-ELECTRODE |
| | CONDUCTOR SHALL BE CONNECTED BETWEEN THE IDENTIFIED DC |
| | GROUNDING POINT TO A SEPARATE DC GROUNDING ELECTRODE. |
| | THE DC GROUNDING-ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR SHALL BE SIZED |
| | ACCORDING TO 250.166. THE DC GROUNDING ELECTRODE SHALL |
| | BE BONDED TO THE AC GROUNDING ELECTRODE TO MAKE A |
| | GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM ACCORDING TO 250.52 AND |
| | 250.53. THE BONDING CONDUCTOR SHALL BE NO SMALLER THAN |
| | THE LARGEST GROUNDING ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR, EITHER AC OR |
| | DC. INDICATE SIZE AND BONDING TO THE A/C GEC SYSTEM. |
| | |
| | SHEET E-18.0 |
| | |
| | 18} THE CIRCUITS FOR AHU #1,2&3 DO NOT CORRELATE WITH |
| | THE SPECIFICATIONS AND SCHEDULES ON SHEET AC-5. 408.4 |
| | NEC. |
| | |
| | 19} PANEL "WF" HAS ALL CIRCUITS LISTED AS FEEDING WATER |
| | FEATURE #6, ONE SHOULD BE DESIGNATED FOR WF #5, SEE |
| | SHEET E-4.0. |
