| | ** DENIED REVIEW ** |
| | |
| | 1) NOTE: THE FOLLOWING CODES ARE NOT STATED ON |
| | ELECTRICAL PLANS FOR EDITIONS CURRENTLY ADOPTED AND |
| | UNDER PERMIT APPLICATION DATE. |
| | |
| | 2007 FBC W/ 2009 REVISIONS |
| | 2006 NFPA-101 |
| | 2005 NFPA-70 |
| | 2002 NFPA-72 |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PLEASE UPDATE CIRCUITS TO ROOMS AND AREAS IN |
| | WHICH THEY FEED FOR NEW AS NOTED ON PLANS. THIS MAY BE |
| | DONE BY ALPHA OR NUMERIC DESIGNATIONS. |
| | THE USE OF *RECEPTACLES* OR LIGHTING* IS NOT ACCEPTABLE |
| | FOR NEW. |
| | ** PLEASE KNOW THAT THIS ITEM ALONE BEING BASED ON A |
| | REMODEL COULD BE DONE AS A PROVISO HOWEVER PLANS ARE |
| | NEEDING CORRECTIONS FOR OTHER ITEMS. |
| | ALL OTHER CIRCUITING IN PANELS SPECIFIC TO THIS |
| | FLOOR/WORK LOCATION WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE PANEL |
| | SCHEDULES UPDATED TO SPECIFIC AREAS AND ROOMS BEFORE |
| | FINAL INSPECTIONS. RECORD SETS OF PLANS WILL ALSO NEED |
| | TO BE ACCURATE FOR THIS RECORD. |
| | 408.4. THE FOLLOWING IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM THE UPDATED |
| | 2005 NEC HANDBOOK COMMENTARY. |
| | |
| | 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. |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PLEASE REVISE AND CORRECT THE FOLLOWING ITEMS |
| | ON RISER DIAGRAM SUBMITTED. THERE WILL BE SEVERAL |
| | EXAMPLES GIVEN BELOW. |
| | |
| | A) MAIN SHOWN ON RISER WHICH FEEDS THE 1600AMP MSB IS |
| | SHOWN AS 200AMPS? IF THIS WAS A MISPRINT FOR 2000AMPS, |
| | THEN THE OCP SHOWN WOULD BE TOO HIGH FOR 1600AMP MSB. |
| | 310.16,240.4B 230.70 ,,, |
| | |
| | B) PLEASE COORDINATE RISER AND SCHEDULES. THE RISER |
| | INDICATES A *DFL* PANEL HOWEVER NO *DFL* SCHEDULE WAS |
| | SUBMITTED OR SHOWN ON SHEET. |
| | |
| | C) PLEASE SEE THE RISER WHICH INDICATES A PANEL *4L* |
| | FED FROM *DFL* YET THERE IS A *DPL* SCHEDULE FEEDING A |
| | *L4* PANEL? THIS SAME *DPL* PANEL IS SHOWN FEEDING 2L, |
| | 3L, ETC. |
| | |
| | D) THE RISER INDICATES A PANEL *4L* WHICH IS SHOWN |
| | FEEDING THE TRANSFORMER AND THEN ON TO FEED PANEL *TA*. |
| | HOWEVER NO PANEL SCHEDULE WAS SUBMITTED FOR ANY *4L* OR |
| | *L4*?? |
| | THERE IS A PANEL *L* SCHEDULE HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT |
| | INCLUDE ANY FEEDS TO TRANSFORMER AND IT IS SHOWN AS |
| | ANOTHER PANEL ON RISER.?? |
| | |
| | E) COMPLIANCE FOR THE OVER CURRENT PROTECTION TO |
| | TRANSFORMER CAN NOT BE VERIFIED. COMPLIANCE FOR |
| | FEEDERS, EQUIPMENT GROUNDING, TAPPED CONDUCTORS ETC |
| | ALSO CAN NOT BE VERIFIED AS NO INFORMATION IS SHOWN ON |
| | RISER OR ON ANY PANEL SCHEDULES FOR THIS PARTICULAR |
| | EQUIPMENT/SPACE. |
| | PLEASE BE SURE TO SEE 450.3 FOR MAXIMUM OCP. PLEASE SEE |
| | 310.16, 408.36 AND 240.21 FOR TAPPED CONDUCTORS ON THE |
| | LOAD SIDE OF TRANSFORMER. |
| | PLEASE SEE 250.20,250.30,250.66 ETC FOR THE EQUIPMENT |
| | GROUNDING AND GROUNDING ELECTRODE OF TRANSFORMER. THIS |
| | ALL MAY BE EXISTING HOWEVER INFORMATION IS NOT SHOWN. |
| | |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS; OR IF COMMENTS ARE NOT |
| | TYPED IN A CLEAR MANNER PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO |
| | CONTACT THIS REVIEWER. |
