| | WEST PALM BEACH, FL. |
| | |
| | THIS REVIEW WAS DONE UNDER THESE CURRENT CODE CYCLES: |
| | THE 2004 FLORIDA RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CODE, 2007 |
| | REVISIONS, 2005 NEC, 2004 FBC AS AMENDED, CHAPTER 1.AND |
| | FOUND NONCOMPLIANT WITH THE FOLLOWING: |
| | |
| | COMMENTS FROM SHEET E200 RISER DIAGRAM. |
| | |
| | 1} THE MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS SUBMITTED FOR THE |
| | GENERATOR ARE FOR A 70 KW GENERAC, NOTE #10, SHEET E200 |
| | REFERENCES A KOHLER MODEL 60RZG. CORRELATE THESE AND |
| | SUBMIT SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE INTENDED INSTALLATION. |
| | |
| | 2} THE GROUNDING ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR (NOTE #3 ON THE |
| | PLAN) MUST BE SIZED PER 250.66, SEE NOTE #1 FOR |
| | PARALLEL CONDUCTORS "1. WHERE MULTIPLE SETS OF |
| | SERVICE-ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS ARE USED AS PERMITTED IN |
| | 230.40, EXCEPTION NO. 2, THE EQUIVALENT SIZE OF THE |
| | LARGEST SERVICE-ENTRANCE CONDUCTOR SHALL BE DETERMINED |
| | BY THE LARGEST SUM OF THE AREAS OF THE CORRESPONDING |
| | CONDUCTORS OF EACH SET". |
| | |
| | 3} THE EQUIPMENT GROUND RAN TO ATS FROM PANEL ECB (NOTE |
| | #5 ON THE PLAN) MUST COMPLY WITH 250.122 (F)(1)- (F) |
| | CONDUCTORS IN PARALLEL WHERE CONDUCTORS ARE RUN IN |
| | PARALLEL IN MULTIPLE RACEWAYS OR CABLES AS PERMITTED IN |
| | 310.4, THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS, WHERE USED, |
| | SHALL BE RUN IN PARALLEL IN EACH RACEWAY OR CABLE. ONE |
| | OF THE METHODS IN 250.122(F)(1) OR (F)(2) SHALL BE USED |
| | TO ENSURE THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTORS ARE |
| | PROTECTED. |
| | (1) BASED ON RATING OF OVERCURRENT PROTECTIVE DEVICE |
| | EACH PARALLEL EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR SHALL BE |
| | SIZED ON THE BASIS OF THE AMPERE RATING OF THE |
| | OVERCURRENT DEVICE PROTECTING THE CIRCUIT CONDUCTORS IN |
| | THE RACEWAY OR CABLE IN ACCORDANCE WITH TABLE 250.122. |
| | |
| | 4} NOTE #6 ON THE PLAN INDICATES #4/0 CONDUCTORS FROM |
| | THE GENERATOR TO THE ATS, INDICATE THE OVERCURRENT |
| | PROTECTION RATING OF THE GENERATOR BREAKER, SEE |
| | 310.15(B)(6). |
| | |
| | 5} REGARDING THE FEED TO PANEL "DP" FROM THE ATS, SEE |
| | COMMENT #3, EQUIPMENT GROUND SIZING PER 250.122. |
| | THESE COMMENTS ARE IN REFERENCE TO THE SERVICE LOAD |
| | CALCULATION |
| | |
| | 6} THE GENERAL LIGHTING LOAD APPEARS TO BE INCORRECT AT |
| | 4773 WATTS. THE SQUARE FOOTAGE FOR THE CALCULATION MUST |
| | COMPLY WITH 220.12-A UNIT LOAD OF NOT LESS THAN THAT |
| | SPECIFIED IN TABLE 220.12 FOR OCCUPANCIES SPECIFIED |
| | THEREIN SHALL CONSTITUTE THE MINIMUM LIGHTING LOAD. THE |
| | FLOOR AREA FOR EACH FLOOR SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE |
| | OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS OF THE BUILDING, DWELLING UNIT, OR |
| | OTHER AREA INVOLVED. FOR DWELLING UNITS, THE CALCULATED |
| | FLOOR AREA SHALL NOT INCLUDE OPEN PORCHES, GARAGES, OR |
| | UNUSED OR UNFINISHED SPACES NOT ADAPTABLE FOR FUTURE |
| | USE. THE LIGHTING LOAD IN THE CALCULATION DIFFERS FROM |
| | THE ONE ON PANEL SCHEDULE-DP. |
| | |
| | 7} PER 210.11(C) (1) SMALL-APPLIANCE BRANCH CIRCUITS IN |
| | ADDITION TO THE NUMBER OF BRANCH CIRCUITS REQUIRED BY |
| | OTHER PARTS OF THIS SECTION, TWO OR MORE 20-AMPERE |
| | SMALL-APPLIANCE BRANCH CIRCUITS SHALL BE PROVIDED FOR |
| | ALL RECEPTACLE OUTLETS SPECIFIED BY 210.52(B). ONLY ONE |
| | IS CALCULATED. |
| | |
| | 8} THE UNDER COUNTER REFRIGERATORS MARE CALCULATED AT |
| | 600 WATTS BUT ARE LISTED AS 2000 WATTS TOTAL ON THE |
| | PANEL SCHEDULES. 220.14(A), 2005 NEC. |
| | |
| | 9} THE AIR HANDLERS ARE MARKED #3&4 ON THE PANEL |
| | SCHEDULE BUT ARE MARKED #1&2 ON SHEET M200, CORRELATE |
| | SAME. |
| | |
| | 10} THE VOLTAGE FOR THE A/C EQUIPMENT IS SHOWN AS 208 |
| | ON SHEET M200. VERIFY WITH THE MANUFACTURER THAT THEY |
| | CAN OPERATE ON A 240 VOLT SYSTEM THAT IS THE OPERATING |
| | SYSTEM SHOWN IN THE LOAD CALCULATION |
| | |
| | 11} THE PANEL LOCATION IN THE STORAGE ROOM IS IN |
| | VIOLATION OF 240.24(D) IF ANY IGNITABLE MATERIAL IS |
| | STORED IN THAT ROOM, INCLUDING POOL CHEMICALS, LAWN |
| | MOWERS (GAS), GASOLINE CONTAINERS ETC. THE PANEL SHOULD |
| | BE RELOCATED. |
