| | ** DENIED 2ND REVIEW ** |
| | |
| | ** SOME NOTES FROM PREVIOUS REVIEW ARE STILL IN NEED OF |
| | ADDRESSING. SOME NEW NOTES BASED ON REVISED PLANS NOW |
| | SHOWING INFORMATION NOT ON PREVIOUS PLANS. |
| | |
| | 1) NOTE: PLEASE SHOW ALL CIRCUITING ON PLANS AND |
| | COORDINATE WITH THE NOW SUBMITTED PANEL SCHEDULES. |
| | PLEASE BE SURE TO SEE 700.12F FOR CIRCUITING OF EXIT |
| | AND EMERGENCY LIGHTS AS NOTED ON PREVIOUS REVIEW. |
| | 408.4 |
| | 240.4,310.16 ETC SEE NOTES BELOW. |
| | |
| | 2) NOTE: PANEL SCHEDULES NOW SUBMITTED ALONG WITH LOAD |
| | CALCULATIONS INDICATE 2-POLE 60AMP BREAKERS ON AHU*S |
| | HOWEVER THE HEAT LOADS ON HAU ARE SHOWN AS 5KW EACH. |
| | PLEASE SEE 424.3B AND 422.11E AS MINIMUM OVER CURRENT |
| | PROTECTION WOULD BE 125% HOWEVER MAXIMUM OCP WOULD BE |
| | 150%/ MANUFACTURES NAMEPLATE. |
| | IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAVE 60AMP OCP ON 5KW AIR HANDLER |
| | UNITS. IF THE UNITS ARE ACTUALLY 10KW, PLEASE ADJUST |
| | LOAD CALCULATIONS. |
| | 220,220.56 ETC |
| | |
| | 3) NOTE: PLEASE WHO NEW OR EXISTING SIGN CIRCUIT AND |
| | MINIMUM LOAD OF 1200 VA PER 600.5 AS NOTED ON PREVIOUS |
| | REVIEW. PLANS NOW CONTAIN A NOTE WHICH MENTIONS * NO |
| | ELECTRICAL SIGNAGE* HOWEVER THE MINIMUM REQUIRED BY THE |
| | NEC IS THAT A SIGN CIRCUIT BE PROVIDED EVEN IF THE |
| | TENANT DOES NOT INSTALL AN ELECTRICAL SIGN. PLEASE SEE |
| | THE FOLLOWING COMMENTARY FROM THE NEC FROM SECTION |
| | 600.5. THIS IS PASTED DIRECTLY FROM THE NEC HANDBOOK. |
| | |
| | **ELECTRIC SIGNS AND OUTLINE LIGHTING TO ATTRACT THE |
| | ATTENTION OF CONSUMERS ARE USED EXTENSIVELY BY |
| | COMMERCIAL ENTERPRISES. THE NEED FOR AN ACCESSIBLE |
| | PROVISION TO FACILITATE THE CONNECTION OF AN ELECTRIC |
| | SIGN AT A COMMERCIAL BUILDING IS COVERED BY 600.5(A). A |
| | 20-AMPERE OUTLET ON A CIRCUIT DEDICATED TO THE PURPOSE |
| | OF SUPPLYING AN ELECTRIC SIGN(S) IS REQUIRED TO BE |
| | INSTALLED AT THE ENTRANCE TO SINGLE-OCCUPANT COMMERCIAL |
| | BUILDINGS AND AT THE ENTRANCE TO EACH OCCUPANCY OF |
| | MULTIPLE-OCCUPANT COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS (E.G., SHOPPING |
| | MALLS). THIS REQUIREMENT IS NOT CONTINGENT ON WHETHER |
| | AN ELECTRIC SIGN WILL BE INSTALLED AT THE TIME AN |
| | OCCUPANT MOVES INTO A COMMERCIAL SPACE, SINCE IT IS NOT |
| | UNCOMMON FOR AN ELECTRIC SIGN TO BE INSTALLED AFTER THE |
| | SPACE IS OCCUPIED OR WHEN A NEW OCCUPANT MOVES INTO AN |
| | EXISTING SPACE. FOR BRANCH CIRCUIT, FEEDER AND SERVICE |
| | CALCULATIONS, A MINIMUM LOAD OF 1200 VA PER 20-AMPERE |
| | SIGN BRANCH CIRCUIT IS REQUIRED TO BE ADDED. DUE TO THE |
| | NATURE OF THEIR USE, ELECTRIC SIGNS ARE CONSIDERED TO |
| | BE CONTINUOUS LOADS, AND AS SUCH THE CONDUCTORS AND |
| | OVERCURRENT DEVICES SUPPLYING SIGN LOADS HAVE TO BE |
| | ADJUSTED IN SIZE ACCORDINGLY. |
| | |
| | 4) NOTE: PLEASE SUBMIT LIGHTING PERFORMANCE |
| | CALCULATIONS AS PREVIOUS REVIEW NOTES PER 13-415.AB.5, |
| | 13-415.400.B.0.4, 13-415.B, 13-415.B.1. |
| | NO INFORMATION SUBMITTED. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THIS IS |
| | PRESCRIPTIVE ONLY. IF USING FLA COM FOR CALCULATIONS, |
| | PLEASE KNOW THAT ONLY THE LIGHTING NEED BE PLACED INTO |
| | CALCULATION UNLESS OTHER PRESCRIPTIVE ITEMS ARE BEING |
| | CHANGED OR INSTALLED. IE: A/C EQUIPMENT. SEE MECHANICAL |
| | NOTES. |
| | *** AS STATED ON PREVIOUS REVIEW PLEASE CALL TO GO |
| | OVER. |
| | |
| | 5) NOTE: OCCUPANT LOAD ON ELECTRICAL PLANS STILL STATE |
| | 60, PLEASE BE SURE TO REVISE FOR FIRE MARSHAL REVIEW |
| | NOTES ALONG WITH BUILDING REVIEW NOTES. |
| | |
| | 6) NOTE: PLEASE SEE PREVIOUS NOTES WITH RESPECT TO |
| | LIGHTING CONTROLS IN SPACE. 13-415.AB.1.1,.1.2 AND |
| | .1.3. |
| | PLEASE SEE PLANS WHICH DO INDICATE SOME OCCUPANCY |
| | SENSORS HOWEVER IT IS NOT CLEAR WHAT THE SYMBOL AND |
| | DEVICE IS FOR * S MT*. |
| | |
| | |
| | 7) NOTE: PLANS NOW NOTE A * OPEN/CLOSE DOOR CARD* |
| | HOWEVER NO INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED ON PLANS FOR |
| | CHAPTER 7 OF THE LIFE SAFETY CODE NFPA-101. PLEASE SEE |
| | SECTIONS. 7.2.1.5, 7.2.1.6.2 FOR ACCESS CONTROLS. ALL |
| | ACCESS CONTROLS SHALL BE UNDER SEPARATE LOW VOLTAGE |
| | PERMITS AND PLANS. |
| | |
| | |
| | 8) NOTE: PLEASE SHOW LOAD CALCULATIONS PER NEC 220. |
| | PLEASE BE SURE ALL CONTINUOUS LOADS ARE SHOWN AT 125%. |
| | SEE NOTES ABOVE FOR ITEMS SUCH AS SIGN CIRCUIT, A/C |
| | UNITS, ETC |
| | SEE 220.12,220.14,220.42,220.44, 220.56 ETC. |
| | 215.3,.230.42 FOR CONTINUOUS LOADS. |
| | |
| | 9) NOTE: PLEASE SEE 210.63, 210.8B, AS NEW OR EXISTING |
| | GFI IS REQUIRED FOR CONDENSING UNITS OUTSIDE. IF THIS |
| | WAS THE ONLY ITEM PLANS WOULD HAVE BEEN REDLINED. |
| | |
| | 10) NOTE: PLEASE EXPLAIN CONDUCTORS ON RISER FROM METER |
| | TO MAIN AND MAIN TO PANEL. SHOWS 3-3/0 AND 1-#1. THIS |
| | IS A SINGLE PHASE SERVICE. ONLY THE PHASE CONDUCTORS |
| | AND NEUTRAL IS PERMITTED BEFORE THE FIRST MEANS OF |
| | DISCONNECT. 250.24,250.6. AS THE NEC REQUIRES THE |
| | NEUTRAL (GROUNDED CONDUCTOR) TO BE BONDED AT THE FIRST |
| | MEANS OF DISCONNECT IF AN EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR |
| | IS INSTALLED THEN THIS WOULD PARALLEL THE NEUTRAL AND |
| | CREATE OBJECTIONABLE CURRENTS. |
| | ONLY AFTER THE FIRST MEANS OF DISCONNECT IS THE |
| | EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR REQUIRED. PLEASE SEE |
| | 250.122 FOR SIZING. RISER SHOWS #1, HOWEVER SEE |
| | SECTION. |
| | ** PLEASE SEE 250.66 FOR ANY NEW GROUNDING ELECTRODE |
| | CONDUCTOR. |
| | ** PLANS DO NOT SHOW MAIN DISCONNECT OUTSIDE. SIGNAGE |
| | WILL BE REQUIRED PER 230.2E. |
| | |
| | ** CALLED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR FOR MEETING SOME TIME |
| | THE FOLLOWING WEEK TO GO OVER PLANS/COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS; OR IF COMMENTS ARE NOT |
| | TYPED IN A CLEAR MANNER PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO |
| | CONTACT THIS REVIEWER. |
