| | |
| | ELECTRICAL REVIEW STATUS: DENIED, SEE COMMENTS BELOW. |
| | |
| | 1. BE ADVISED THAT FIRE ALARM, LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS, |
| | LIGHTNING PROTECTION, GENERATORS, COMMERCIAL HOOD |
| | SYSTEMS, SIGNS, SITE LIGHTING, AND SWIMMING POOLS |
| | (WHERE APPLICABLE) ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE OF |
| | THIS PLAN REVIEW. PROVIDE A BLOCK NOTE INDICATING THE |
| | REQUIRED SEPARATE PERMITS AND DATA SPECIFICATION SHEET |
| | SUBMITTALS FOR ANY OF THESE SYSTEMS PRESENT. PLANS FOR |
| | ANY OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL NEED TO BE SUBMITTED AT TIME |
| | OF APPLICATION FOR PERMIT. FBC 105.1, 107.2.1 |
| | 2. FEEDER SCHEDULES SHOW A # 2 EQUIPMENT GROUNDING |
| | CONDUCTOR (EGC) FOR THE 450 AMP FEEDER. PARALLEL |
| | FEEDERS ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE THE EGC SIZED FOR THE |
| | CIRCUIT IN EACH CONDUIT, WHICH WOULD BE A 1/0 AL |
| | CONDUCTOR. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 250.122(F) |
| | 3. LOAD CALCULATION SHOWS SEVERAL LOADS WITH DEMAND |
| | FACTORS NOT TO CODE. THIS MAY BE A FUNCTION OF THE |
| | PROGRAM USED. EXAMPLE: HVAC LOAD IS SHOWN WITH 90% |
| | DEMAND, KITCHEN IS SHOWN WITH 90% DEMAND, MISCELLANEOUS |
| | IS SHOWS AT 70% DEMAND. HOWEVER, IT IS REQUIRED TO SHOW |
| | A LOAD CALCULATION FOR FEEDERS AND SERVICE THAT WILL |
| | HANDLE 125% OF THE CONTINUOUS LOAD PLUS 100% OF THE NON |
| | CONTINUOUS LOAD. PROVIDE LOAD CALCULATIONS WITH THESE |
| | DETAILS. NEC 220.40, 215.2 |
| | 4. SHOW COMPLIANCE WITH NEC 240.87 |
| | 5. AN ESTIMATED FAULT CURRENT FROM POWER COMPANY IS NOT |
| | ACCEPTABLE. PROVIDE LETTER FROM FPL WITH FAULT CURRENT |
| | AT SOURCE AND USE THIS INFORMATION IN CALCULATION. FBC |
| | 107.2.1, NEC 110.10 |
| | 6. PROVIDE NOTES TO INDICATE THE REQUIRED MARKING OF |
| | SERVICE EQUIPMENT FOR ARC FLASH HAZARD WARNING AND |
| | AVAILABLE FAULT CURRENT PER CODE. NEC 110.16, 110.24 |
| | 7. FOOD SERVICE/KITCHEN AREAS REQUIRE THAT ALL |
| | RECEPTACLE OUTLETS BE GFCI PROTECTED, NOT JUST THOSE |
| | THAT SERVE THE COUNTERTOP. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC |
| | 210.8(B)(2),(6) |
| | 8. SHEET E8-1, SERVICE GROUNDING DETAIL, SHOWS THE |
| | "MAIN BONDING JUMPER" SIZED AT 3/0. THIS SHOULD BE |
| | SIZED AT 12.5% OF THE AREA OF THE PHASE CONDUCTORS. |
| | BASED ON CURRENTLY SHOWN FEEDERS THIS WOULD EQUAL: 600 |
| | KCMIL X 5 RUNS= 3000000 X 12.5% = 375000. THIS MAIN |
| | BONDING JUMPER WOULD NEED TO BE SIZED A MINIMUM OF 375 |
| | KCMIL, WHICH THE NEXT SIZE AVAILABLE IS 400 KCMIL. |
| | PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 250.28(D)(1) |
| | 9. PANEL 1GR2 IS SHOWN AS A 100 AMP MAIN LUG ONLY PANEL |
| | WITH 111 AMPS ON A PHASE, 101 AMPS ON B PHASE, AND 106 |
| | AMPS ON C PHASE. PANEL MUST BE SIZED TO HANDLE THE |
| | LOAD. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 408.30 |
| | 10. PANEL 2CR2 IS SHOWN AS A 200 AMP MAIN LUG ONLY |
| | PANEL WITH 208 AMPS ON A PHASE, 186 AMPS ON B PHASE, |
| | AND 222 AMPS ON C PHASE. PANEL MUST BE SIZED TO HANDLE |
| | THE LOAD. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 408.30 |
| | 11. PANEL 2CR3 IS SHOWN AS A 150 AMP MAIN LUG ONLY |
| | PANEL WITH 184 AMPS ON A PHASE, 161 AMPS ON B PHASE, |
| | AND 175 AMPS ON C PHASE. PANEL MUST BE SIZED TO HANDLE |
| | THE LOAD. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 408.30 |
| | 12. IT APPEARS THERE WOULD BE A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF |
| | NONLINEAR LOADS WITH THIS INSTALLATION. BASED ON THIS, |
| | THE NEUTRAL CONDUCTOR WOULD BE COUNTED AS A CURRENT |
| | CARRYING CONDUCTOR FOR FEEDERS PER NEC 310.15(B)(5)(C). |
| | BASED ON THIS REASONING, WHEN APPLYING THE 80% DEMAND |
| | FACTOR IN TABLE 310.15(B)(3), SEVERAL FEEDER SIZES ARE |
| | INADEQUATE FOR THE LOADS SERVED. THIS WOULD INCLUDE THE |
| | WIRE SIZES FOR 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250, 300, 450, |
| | 500, 600, 800, AND 1600 AMP FEEDERS. PROVIDE |
| | CORRECTION. NEC310.15(B)(3), 240.4(C) |
| | 13. REVIEWER DID NOT SEE ANY CIRCUITS FOR DRINKING |
| | FOUNTAINS. PROVIDE GFCI PROTECTION FOR DRINKING |
| | FOUNTAIN IF INSTALLED. NEC 422.52 |
| | |
| | END OF COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | 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. |
