| | ELECTRICAL REVIEW STATUS: DENIED, SEE COMMENTS BELOW. |
| | |
| | PREVIOUS COMMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED |
| | SATISFACTORILY ARE MARKED AS CORRECTED. PREVIOUS |
| | COMMENTS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED SATISFACTORILY |
| | HAVE ADDITIONAL COMMENTS IN PARENTHESES. ANY NEW |
| | COMMENTS WILL BE LISTED AFTER PREVIOUS COMMENTS. |
| | |
| | 1. BE ADVISED THAT FIRE ALARM, LOW VOLTAGE SYSTEMS, |
| | DAS, LIGHTNING PROTECTION, GENERATORS, COMMERCIAL HOOD |
| | SYSTEMS, WALK IN COOLERS, 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. FBC 105.1, 107.2.1 (DID NOT SEE THIS NOTE |
| | ADDED.) |
| | 2. CORRECTED. |
| | 3. RISER DIAGRAM SHOWS 3 MAINS. IT APPEARS MAIN # 1 AND |
| | 2 ARE LOCATED IN MDB AND MAIN # 3 IS IN A SEPARATE |
| | LOCATION. SHOULD MDB BE LABELED MDP? THERE IS A NOTE |
| | THAT THIS EQUIPMENT IS RATED FOR 12000 AMPS, PROVIDE |
| | CLARIFICATION AND/OR CORRECTION. PROVIDE PANEL SCHEDULE |
| | FOR THIS PANEL. ALSO, I DO NOT SEE MAIN # 3 IN THE |
| | ELECTRICAL ROOM (ROOM 127). PROVIDE CLARIFICATION AND |
| | NAMES FOR EACH MAIN. WHAT IS THE RATING OF MAIN #1? |
| | ALSO, FOR PANEL ?MDB?, THERE APPEARS TO ONLY BE 17? |
| | CLEARANCE FOR THIS? PROVIDE CORRECTIONS AND/OR |
| | CLARIFICATIONS AS NEEDED. FBC 107.2.1; NEC 110.26, |
| | 695.3 (SOME ITEMS CORRECTED. BASED ON NEW RISER |
| | DIAGRAM, THERE WOULD BE 4 SERVICES TO THIS BUILDING. |
| | THERE IS A 2000 AMP SERVICE AT MDP, A 600 AMP SERVICE |
| | SHOWN ON RISER BUT NOT ON POWER PLAN, A SERVICE TO FIRE |
| | PUMP, AND A PROPOSED 200 AMP SERVICE FOR KITCHEN. EACH |
| | SERVICE NEEDS TO BE CLEARLY IDENTIFIED WITH LABELS THAT |
| | STATE WHICH SERVICE IT IS AND THE LOCATION OF OTHER |
| | SERVICES ON PROPERTY. EACH MAIN WITHIN EACH SERVICE |
| | SHOULD ALSO BE LABELED ACCORDINGLY. PANEL A ON ROOF IS |
| | SHOWS AS BEING FED FROM THE 600 AMP SERVICE, WHICH ONLY |
| | HAS 198 AMPS DEMAND, SO WHY DOES THE 200 AMP SERVICE |
| | NEED TO BE ADDED? PANEL A IS ALSO BEING SHOWN AS FED |
| | FROM MDP AS AN 800 AMP PANEL INSTEAD OF 600 AMP AND IT |
| | IS INCLUDED IN THE LOAD CALCULATION FOR PANEL MDP, |
| | WHICH IS AN OBVIOUS DISCREPANCY. WHILE ADDITIONAL |
| | SERVICES CAN BE ALLOWED, THERE NEEDS TO BE |
| | JUSTIFICATION. PROVIDE CLARIFICATIONS.) |
| | 4. CORRECTED. |
| | 5. CORRECTED. |
| | 6. PROVIDE LOAD CALCULATION FOR SERVICE, INCLUDE |
| | EXISTING AND NEW LOADS TO CONFIRM CAPACITY OF SERVICE |
| | IS ADEQUATE. SOME PANEL SCHEDULE SHOW DEMAND FACTORS |
| | FOR DWELLING UNITS. THE NEC DEFINES A DWELLING UNIT AS: |
| | ?A SINGLE UNIT, PROVIDING COMPLETE AND INDEPENDENT |
| | LIVING FACILITIES FOR ONE OR MORE PERSONS, INCLUDING |
| | PERMANENT PROVISIONS FOR LIVING, SLEEPING, COOKING, AND |
| | SANITATION.? THIS DEFINITION DOES NOT MATCH THIS |
| | FACILITY, SO THESE DEMAND FACTORS SHOULD NOT BE USED. |
| | ALSO, PROVIDE LOAD CALCULATION FOR BUS DUCT. NEC 100, |
| | 215.2, 220, 408.30 (NEED FURTHER EXPLANATION OF LOAD ON |
| | SERVICE. THE FEEDERS AND OVERCURRENT PROTECTION SHOULD |
| | BE SIZED TO HANDLE 100% OF THE NON-CONTINUOUS LOAD PLUS |
| | 125% OF THE CONTINUOUS LOAD. THE ONLY CONTINUOUS LOAD |
| | SHOWN IS FOR LIGHTING, THE LARGEST MOTOR LOAD IS NOT |
| | SHOWN ON ANY SCHEDULES. ADDITIONALLY, THE RISER DIAGRAM |
| | SHOWS A FUTURE POOL, BUT NO LOAD IS INCLUDED FOR THIS. |
| | PROVIDE CORRECTIONS. NEC 215.2, 215.3, 220.14(C), |
| | 430.24) |
| | 7. CORRECTED. |
| | 8. EXPLANATION PROVIDED FOR CLEARANCE, WILL NEED TO BE |
| | CONFIRMED BY INSPECTOR. |
| | 9. EXPLANATION PROVIDED FOR CLEARANCE, WILL NEED TO BE |
| | CONFIRMED BY INSPECTOR. |
| | 10. EXPLANATION PROVIDED FOR CLEARANCE, WILL NEED TO BE |
| | CONFIRMED BY INSPECTOR. |
| | 11. CORRECTED. |
| | 12. PROVIDE PANEL SCHEDULE FOR EACH PANEL INDICATING |
| | ANY NEW OR ALTERED CIRCUITS, THE WIRE AND BREAKER SIZE |
| | FOR THESE CIRCUITS, AND AFCI OR GFCI PROTECTION WHERE |
| | APPLICABLE TO COMPLY WITH CODE. IT APPEARS THAT SOME |
| | SCHEDULES ARE MISSING AND SOME HAVE INFORMATION THAT IS |
| | TBD. PROVIDE COMPLETED SCHEDULES. PANEL SCHEDULES |
| | SHOULD INCLUDE UNIQUE IDENTIFIERS FOR CIRCUITS, SUCH AS |
| | ROOM NUMBERS OR LOCATIONS. GENERAL TERMS ARE NOT |
| | ACCEPTABLE. NEC 210.8, 210.12, 215.5, 408.4 |
| | |
| | NEW COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 13. THE FOLLOWING PANELS ARE SHOWN WITH A 125 MAIN |
| | CIRCUIT BREAKER, BUT HAVE A LOAD THAT EXCEEDS 125 AMP: |
| | PANEL EML, 4LA, 5LA, 6LA, 7LA, 8LA 9LA, 10LA. PROVIDE |
| | CORRECTION. NEC 215.3 |
| | 14. PANEL EMH SHOWS A LOAD OF 400.36 AMPS ON A?, WHICH |
| | EXCEEDS THE RATING OF THE PANEL AND THE CONDUCTORS |
| | FEEDING THE PANEL. IN ADDITION TO THIS, THE LARGEST |
| | MOTOR DEMAND AT 125% HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED, WHICH WOULD |
| | FURTHER OVERLOAD THIS PANEL AND CONDUCTORS. PROVIDE |
| | CORRECTION. NEC 215.2, 215.3, 310.15(B)(16) |
| | 15. PROVIDE VOLTAGE DROP CALCULATION FOR FEEDER NUMBER |
| | 7 FROM GENERATOR TO TRANSFER SWITCH TO CONFIRM THE |
| | CONDUCTOR SIZE IS ADEQUATE FOR CODE COMPLIANCE. PROVIDE |
| | A NOTE TO INCLUDE INDICATION OF SUBMITTAL OF COMPLETION |
| | DOCUMENTS PER FBC EC C405.6.4, FBC EC C405.6.3, NEC |
| | 695.7 |
| | 16. IT APPEARS THE GENERATOR WILL BE OVERLOADED AS |
| | PANEL EMH SHOWS A LOAD OF 330.7 KVA BEFORE CORRECTIONS |
| | NOTED IN COMMENT # 14. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 701.4, |
| | 695.3(D)(1) |
| | 17. PLAN SHOWS THE FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER BEING FED FROM |
| | PANEL EMH THROUGH ATS-1. THIS ATS IS REQUIRED TO BE |
| | LISTED FOR USE WITH FIRE PUMP EQUIPMENT. PROVIDE SPEC |
| | SHEET TO CONFIRM LISTING. NEC 110.3, 695.10 |
| | 18. IF THE FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER IS FED FROM PANEL EMH |
| | AS SHOWN, THIS BREAKER WILL NEED TO COMPLY WITH NEC |
| | 695.4(B)(3)(B) THROUGH (E). SHOW METHOD OF COMPLIANCE. |
| | 19. THE PREFERRED METHOD OF CONNECTION FROM THE |
| | GENERATOR TO THE FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER PER THE NEC WOULD |
| | BE A DIRECT CONNECTION WITH THE GENERATOR HAVING TWO |
| | BREAKERS, ONE DEDICATED TO ATS-1 AND ONE DEDICATED TO |
| | THE FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER, WHICH WOULD BE A LISTED FIRE |
| | PUMP CONTROLLER WITH BUILT IN ATS. THIS IS HOW WE |
| | NORMALLY SEE THIS TYPE OF INSTALLATION DESIGNED. THE |
| | DESIGN SHOWN IS PERMITTED, BUT MUST COMPLY WITH |
| | COMMENTS 17 AND 18 ABOVE. IF THE PREFERRED METHOD |
| | MENTIONED IN THE NEC IS USED, COMMENTS 17 AND 18 DO NOT |
| | APPLY. NEC 695.4(A) |
| | |
| | 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. |

| | SINCERELY, |
