| | ELECTRICAL REVIEW STATUS: DENIED, SEE COMMENTS BELOW. |
| | |
| | 1. PREVIOUS COMMENT REFERENCING THE DISCONNECTS |
| | REQUIRED FOR SEPARATE STRUCTURES WAS NOT ADDRESSED |
| | SATISFACTORILY. BASED ON THE CURRENT RISER DIAGRAM |
| | PROVIDED, PANELS A, A2, B, AND P ARE ALL FED FROM |
| | SEPARATE STRUCTURES AND WOULD REQUIRE A MAIN BREAKER OR |
| | A DISCONNECT AT THE LOCATION OF THE PANEL REMOTE FROM |
| | THE SEPARATE STRUCTURE. PROVIDE CORRECTION. PLEASE FEEL |
| | FREE TO CALL REVIEWER IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. NEC |
| | 225.30 |
| | 2. PREVIOUS COMMENT REFERENCING THE GROUNDING ELECTRODE |
| | (GE) SYSTEM REQUIRED FOR SEPARATE STRUCTURES WAS NOT |
| | ADDRESSED SATISFACTORILY. PROVIDE A GE SYSTEM AT EACH |
| | STRUCTURE AND SHOW THE PROPER SIZE WIRE FROM EACH PANEL |
| | TO THAT SYSTEM AND THE WIRE THAT TIES BOTH SYSTEMS |
| | TOGETHER THAT IS REQUIRED PER CODE. NEC 250.32; FBC |
| | RE3607.3 |
| | 3. GENERATOR SHOWS 3 - 4/0 AL CONDUCTORS RUNNING TO |
| | MAIN DISC. A. WHAT IS THIS WIRE FOR? THE GENERATOR FEED |
| | SHOULD ONLY BE RUN TO THE TRANSFER SWITCH. PROVIDE |
| | CORRECTION. NEC 702.5, NEC 110.3; FBC 107.2.1 |
| | 4. GENERATOR TRANSFER SWITCH IS SPECIFIED AS 200 AMP |
| | GUARDIAN MODEL. THE MAXIMUM WIRE CAPACITY FOR THIS |
| | TRANSFER SWITCH PER THE MANUFACTURERS SPEC SHEET IS 250 |
| | KCMIL. RISER DIAGRAM SHOWS PARALLEL 500 KCMIL AL FROM |
| | GENERATOR TO TRANSFER SWITCH, AND PARALLEL 350 KCMIL |
| | COPPER FROM 400 AMP DISCONNECT TO TRANSFER SWITCH. WHY |
| | IS THERE SO MUCH WIRE TO THIS TRANSFER SWITCH, IT IS |
| | RATED FOR 200 AMPS? PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 110.3; FBC |
| | 107.2.1 |
| | 5. RISER DIAGRAM SHOW MAIN DISC A AND MAIN DISC B. |
| | HOWEVER, THESE ARE NOT DISCONNECTS, THEY ARE FEED THRU |
| | PANELS. PROVIDE PANEL SCHEDULES FOR EACH OF THESE |
| | PANELS. AS A SIDE NOTE, IT WOULD MAKE MORE SENSE TO |
| | FEED PANEL P AND PANEL A2 FROM THEIR RESPECTIVE MAIN |
| | PANELS INSTEAD OF RUNNING A FEED ALL THE WAY TO THE |
| | MAIN HOUSE AND THEN BACK TO THESE PANELS. RISER DIAGRAM |
| | NEEDS TO REFLECT THE ACCURATE INSTALLATION. PROVIDE |
| | CORRECTIONS AS NOTED AND PROVIDE UPDATED RISER DIAGRAM. |
| | NEC 215.5, 230, 250.50, 250.94, 408.30 FBC RE3706.1, |
| | RE3608.1, RE3609.3; FBC 107.2.1 |
| | 6. WIRE SIZE SHOWN ON RISER DIAGRAM FROM MAIN |
| | DISCONNECTS (PANELS) A & B TO THE RESPECTIVE INTERIOR |
| | PANEL IS NOT SIZED PROPERLY. SIZE 2/0 CAN ONLY BE USED |
| | WHERE IT FEED 100% OF THE LOAD. SINCE THE MAINS ARE |
| | FEED THRU PANELS, THE WIRE SIZE TO INTERIOR PANELS WILL |
| | NEED TO BE INCREASED. NEC 310.15(B)(7); FBC RE3602.2 |
| | 7. CO ALARMS ARE REQUIRED WITHIN 10 FEET OF SLEEPING |
| | ROOMS. PROVIDE CORRECTION. FBC R315.1 |
| | |
| | PLEASE NOTE: SUBMITTAL OF ADDITIONAL AND/OR REVISED |
| | MATERIALS MAY RESULT IN NEW PLAN REVIEW COMMENTS. WHEN |
| | RESUBMITTING, IT IS HELPFUL TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE |
| | LETTER ADDRESSING EACH ITEM ALONG WITH THE CITY |
| | RESUBMITTAL FORM. ADDITIONALLY, INSERT CORRECTED PAGES |
| | INTO THE ORIGINAL SUBMITTAL AND REMOVE OR VOID THE |
| | PREVIOUSLY REVIEWED SHEETS. |
| | |
| | SINCERELY, |
