| | |
| | THIS APPLICATION FAILED THE FIRST ELECTRICAL REVIEW AS |
| | NOTED BELOW. OF THE COMMENTS BELOW ALL BUT THE |
| | SUGGESTION FOR 3 & 4 WAY SWITCHING ARE CODE |
| | REQUIREMENTS. THE SWITCHING RECOMMENDATION ARE FOR BOTH |
| | CONVENIENCE AND ENERGY CONSERVATION. BY MAKING IT |
| | EASIER TO TURN THE LIGHTS ON AND OFF AS NEEDED YOU |
| | LEAVE LESS ROOM FOR THEM TO BE LEFT ON UNNECESSARILY. |
| | 1. NOTE 7 OF THE ELECTRICAL PLAN NOTES OF PAGE CS, CALL |
| | FOR THE GARAGE DOOR OPENER TO BE ON A GFI CIRCUIT. THE |
| | 2008 EDITION OF THE NEC AT ARTICLE 210.8 REQUIRES THAT |
| | ALL OUTLETS IN THE GARAGE BE GFCI PROTECTED. |
| | 2. YOU NEED TO INCLUDE A NOTE AS TO THE NEC 314.27(A) |
| | REQUIREMENT THAT CEILING BOXES BE LISTED TO SUPPORT |
| | 50#. |
| | 3. AS PART OF THE DESIGN PARAMETERS OF PAGE CS, INCLUDE |
| | THE APPLICABLE ELECTRICAL CODE: NFPA 70, 2008, OR NEC |
| | 2008 EDITION. |
| | |
| | BELOW ARE COMMENTS TYPICAL TO ALL EIGHT (8) UNITS |
| | RECOMMEND MULTIPLE SWITCHING FOR THE LIVING ROOM LIGHT. |
| | AT TIMES 3 WAY AND ON UNIT F A 4 WAY. |
| | OUTLET MISSING IN THE FOYER |
| | AT FIRST I DIDN'T SEE THE OUTLET FOR THE FRONT DOOR, |
| | AND LATE SAW IT ALONG THE EXTERIOR WALL. |
| | THE OUTLET PLACEMENT IN THE LIVING ROOM AND BEDROOMS |
| | DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CORRECT WITH THE LINEAR FOOTAGE |
| | ALONG THE WALLS. CHECK FOR CONFORMITY WITH NEC 210.52. |
| | YOU WILL HAVE TO ADD OUTLETS TO MEET THE MINIMUMS. |
| | THERE IS AN OUTLET MISSING AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS. |
| | (USABLE WALL GREATER THAN 2') |
| | ACCORDING TO NEC 210.52 THERE SHALL BE AN OUTLET IN THE |
| | LANAI (PORCH) |
| | THE DISCONNECT FOR THE AHU AS WELL AS THE DISCONNECT |
| | FOR THE CU NEED TO BE READILY ACCESSIBLE AND CAN NOT BE |
| | BEHIND THE RESPECTIVE UNITS. |
| | |
| | MOST OF THE ITEMS MENTIONED ABOVE ARE TYPICAL OF ALL OF |
| | THE OTHER UNITS. THE MOST COMMON ISSUE AMONG ALL THE |
| | UNITS IS THE LACK OF OUTLETS AS PER THE LINEAR FOOTAGE |
| | WITH RELATION TO NEC 210.52. THERE CAN BE NO MORE THAN |
| | 6' FROM THE EDGE OF A WALL OR ANOTHER OUTLET ALONG THE |
| | FLOORLINE. EVERY WALL GREATER THAN 2' REQUIRES AN |
| | OUTLET. |
| | WITH REGARDS TO THE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 3 & 4 WAY |
| | SWITCHING, I LOOK TO BE ABLE TO TURN ON THE LIGHT AS I |
| | ENTER THE ROOM; IF THE ROOM HAS AN EXIT TO ANOTHER AREA |
| | OF THE HOUSE I TRY TO SWITCH THE LIGHTS FROM THAT POINT |
| | AS WELL. |
| | BECAUSE NO INDICATION OF WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE |
| | FEEDER BETWEEN THE TRANSFORMER AND THE METER AND NOTE |
| | AS TO THE REQUIRED CONDUCTOR INSULATION LISTING SHALL |
| | BE ENTERED. "AS PER NEC 300.5(B) THE INTERIOR OF A |
| | RACEWAY WHETHER UNDERGROUND OR IN A CONCRETE SLAB SHALL |
| | BE CONSIDERED A "WET LOCATION" THEREFORE ALL CONDUCTOR |
| | WITHIN THE RACEWAY SHALL BE LISTED ACCORDINGLY. |
| | |
| | A FULL SITE PLAN SHALL BE SUBMITTED. ON THAT SITE PLAN |
| | YOU SHALL INDICATE WHERE/HOW WILL THE CONDUIT FOR THE |
| | FEEDERS BE RUN. YOU SHALL INCLUDE ON THE SITE PLAN THE |
| | LOCATION OF FPL TRANSFORMERS PRIMARIES AND SECONDARIES |
| | TO THE INDIVIDUAL UNITS. YOU SHALL ALSO INCLUDE ALL |
| | SITE LIGHTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH FBC-ENERGY |
| | CONSERVATION CODE. IF THESE ARE GOING TO BE PRIVATELY |
| | OWNED UNITS SOME SORT OF EASEMENT SHALL BE ESTABLISHED |
| | AND SUBSEQUENTLY RECORDED IF THE RACEWAYS WILL BE |
| | CROSSING UNDER SOMEONE ELSES PROPERTY. |
