| | PROJECT: 901 FOREST HILL |
| | PERMIT#: 14100673 |
| | CODE: 2008 EDITION OF THE NEC, 2010 EDITION OF THE FBC |
| | ,2010 WPB AMENDMENTS TO THE FBC, CHAPTER 1, |
| | ADMINISTRATION, 2012 FBC SUPPLEMENTS. |
| | ELECTRICAL PLAN REVIEW |
| | ACTION: DENIED |
| | |
| | 1) CLARIFICATION REQUIRED. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL |
| | INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOWING: |
| | A) THE SIZE (AMPERE, VOLTAGE RATING AND TYPE) OF |
| | DISCONNECT SWITCH AT ELECTRICAL SERVIICE. |
| | B) THE LOCATION OF THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE. |
| | C) THE SIZE AND TYPE OF THE SERVICE ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS |
| | IN THE SERVICE RISER TO THE WEATHERHEAD. |
| | D) THE SIZE TYPE AND DETAIL OF ALL THE GROUDING |
| | ELECTROTRODE SYSTEM. |
| | E) EACH OF THE FEEDERS FROM THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE |
| | INDICATE 3 CONDUCTORS IN A CONDUIT. THERE IS NO MENTION |
| | OF A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR. THE ONLY PLACE A GROUNDING |
| | CONDUCTOR WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED WOULD BE AT THE SERVICE |
| | ENTRANCE. THE ONLY ALTERNATICE WOULD BE IF THE FEEDER |
| | CONDUCTORS WERE INSTALLED IN A METLAL CONDUIT WITH THE |
| | USE OF PROPER GROUNDING LOCKNUTS BONDING BUSINGS ETC... |
| | F ) THE LOCATION OF THE MAIN HOUSE PANEL |
| | G) THE OCPD FOR THE SUB PANEL |
| | H) THE LOCATION OF THE A/C CONDENSING UNITS AND A/C |
| | AHU'S,THE REQUIRED A/C DISCONNECTS, AND GFI OUTLETS |
| | WITHIN SITE FOR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. |
| | |
| | 2) REVISE THE RISRE DIAGRAMS, LOAD CALCULATIONS AND |
| | PANEL SCHEDULES TO CORRECT THE FOLLOWING DEFICIENCIES. |
| | A) THE OCPD FOR THE SUB PANEL IS NOT INDICATED IN THE |
| | PANEL SCHEDULE FOR MAIN HOUSE PANEL |
| | B) EVERY CIRCUIT AND CIRCUIT MODIFICATION SHALL BE |
| | LEGIBLY IDENTIFIED AS TO ITS CLEAR, EVIDENT, AND |
| | SPECIFIC PURPOSE OR USE. THE IDENTIFICATION SHALL |
| | INCLUDE SUFFICIENT DETAIL TO ALLOW EACH CIRCUIT TO BE |
| | DISTINGUISHED FROM ALL OTHERS. NEC 408.4. "GENERAL |
| | LIGHTING" OR "CONVENIENCE OUTLETS" IS NOT SUFFICIENT. |
| | CORRECT BOTH PANEL SCHEDULES. |
| | C) THE LOAD CALCULATION FOR THE "GUEST HOUSE" INDICATES |
| | 1200 WATTS TO COMPENSATE THE GENERAL LIGHTING LOAD AT 3 |
| | WATTS PER SQUARE FOOT, BUT THEN ALSO ADDS AN ADDITIONAL |
| | 4500WATTS FOR "GENERAL LIGHTING" AND ANOTHER 6000WATTS |
| | FOR "CONVENIENCE OUTLETS" THIS IS NOT A CODE |
| | REQUIRMENT, AND IS AN INACCURATE ASSESMENT OF THE |
| | ACTUAL OR DEMAND LOAD OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. |
| | D) EACH OF THE FEEDERS FROM THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE |
| | INDICATE 3 CONDUCTORS IN A CONDUIT. THERE IS NO MENTION |
| | OF A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR. THE ONLY PLACE A GROUNDING |
| | CONDUCTOR WOULD NOT BE REQUIRED WOULD BE AT THE SERVICE |
| | ENTRANCE. THE ONLY ALTERNATICE WOULD BE IF THE FEEDER |
| | CONDUCTORS WERE INSTALLED IN A METLAL CONDUIT WITH THE |
| | USE OF PROPER GROUNDING LOCKNUTS BONDING BUSINGS ETC... |
| | CLARFY AS NEEDED. |
| | E) PROVIDE AND INDICATE ON THE FLOOR PLAN AND IN THE |
| | PANEL SCHEDULES THE USE OF A SEPARATE 20AMP CIRCUIT FOR |
| | THE BATHROOMS. SUCH OUTLETS SHALL HAVE NO OTHER |
| | OUTLETS. |
| | |
| | 3) IDENTIFY THE CIRCUITS ON THE FLOOR PLAN(S) TO THE |
| | CORRESPONDING CIRCUITS IN BOTH PANEL SCHEDULES. |
| | |
| | 4) WHEN ALTERATIONS, REPAIRS, OR ADDITIONS REQUIRING A |
| | PERMIT OCCUR, OR WHEN ONE OR MORE SLEEPING ROOMS ARE |
| | ADDED OR CREATED IN EXISTING DWELLINGS, THE INDIVIDUAL |
| | DWELLING UNIT SHALL BE EQUIPPED WITH SMOKE ALARMS |
| | LOCATED AS REQUIRED FOR NEW DWELLINGS. FBC-RESIDENTIAL |
| | 314 AND 315. INDICATE THE REQUIRED SMOKE DETECTORS |
| | THROUGHOUT. |
| | |
| | 5) VERIFY THE ELECTRICAL SERVICE DISCONNECTING MEANS |
| | HAS A FAULT CURRENT RATING THAT IS SUFFICIENT AT |
| | NOMINAL CIRCUIT VOLTAGE FOR THE CURRENT THAT MUST BE |
| | INTERRUPTED. NEC 110.9 |
| | |
| | 6) INDICATE OUTLET BOXES USED AS THE SOLE SUPPORT OF A |
| | CEILING FAN SHALL BE LISTED, SHALL BE MARKED BY THEIR |
| | MANUFACTURER AS SUITABLE FOR THIS PURPOSE. |
| | |
| | 7) ALL NEW GENERAL PURPOSE OUTLETS MUST BE TAMPER |
| | RESISTANT AND AFCI PROTECTED. NEC 210.12, 406.11. ADD |
| | NOTES ACCORDINGLY. |
| | |
| | WHEN RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RE-SUBMITTAL FORM. SEE LINK: |
