| | |
| | 1) NOTE #12 STATES SEE GROUNDING RISER, COULD NOT FIND |
| | GROUNDING RISER IN SET. |
| | |
| | WHAT MEANS IS GOING TO BE PROVIDED TO HAVE A GEC |
| | AVAILABLE FOR ALL THE SEPARATELY DERIVED SYSTEMS IN |
| | BUILDING? |
| | |
| | |
| | 2) FEEDER SCHEDULE: ON THE ALUMINUM SCHEDULE |
| | |
| | 4000A FEEDER ONLY HAS AN AMPACITY OF 3465 AMPERES |
| | 240.4(C) |
| | 3200A FEEDER ONLY HAS AN AMPACITY OF 2692 AMPERES |
| | 240.4(C) |
| | |
| | WHERE THE OVERCURRENT DEVICE IS RATED OVER 800 AMPERES, |
| | THE AMPACITY OF THE CONDUCTORS IT PROTECTS SHALL BE |
| | EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE |
| | RATING OF THE OVERCURRENT DEVICE DEFINED IN 240.6. |
| | |
| | |
| | 3) FIRE PUMP CONTROLER CIRCUIT IS FED THROUGH LSDP |
| | WHICH CANNOT HAVE OTHER LOADS THAT ARE NOT FIRE PUMP |
| | ASSOCIATED LOADS 695.4(B)(3)(A)(3) |
| | |
| | DISCONNECTING MEANS SUPPLIED BY ONE OF THE INDIVIDUAL |
| | SOURCES SPECIFIED IN 695.3(A) CANNOT BE INSTALLED IN |
| | DISTRIBUTION |
| | EQUIPMENT THAT SUPPLIES OTHER THAN FIRE PUMP LOADS. |
| | ?SUFFICIENTLY REMOTE? ALSO CANNOT BE INTERPRETED AS |
| | PERMITTING THE FIRE PUMP |
| | DISCONNECTING MEANS TO BE LOCATED IN A SEPARATE |
| | SWITCHBOARD SECTION OF EQUIPMENT THAT SUPPLIES OTHER |
| | THAN FIRE PUMP LOADS. |
| | |
| | |
| | 4) TRANSFER OF POWER TO FIRE PUMP SHALL TAKE PLACE IN |
| | PUMP ROOM 695.3(F) NOT IN EMERGENCY ELECTRICAL ROOM AND |
| | PUMP ROOM. |
| | |
| | TRANSFER OF POWER. TRANSFER OF POWER TO THE FIRE PUMP |
| | CONTROLLER BETWEEN THE INDIVID UAL SOURCE AND ONE |
| | ALTERNATE SOURCE |
| | SHALL TAKE PLACE WITHIN THE PUMP ROOM. [20:9.6.4] |
| | |
| | |
| | 5) A SINGLE MEANS OF DISCONNECT AND ONE ADDITIONAL |
| | DISCONNECT WILL BE PERMITTED BUT NOT TWO PLUS A |
| | TRANSFER SWITCH. 695.4(B)(1)(A,B,C) |
| | |
| | A SINGLE DISCONNECT ING MEANS AND ASSOCIATED |
| | OVERCURRENT PROTECTIVE DEVICE(S) SHALL BE PERMITTED TO |
| | BE |
| | INSTALLED BETWEEN THE FIRE PUMP POWER SOURCE(S) AND ONE |
| | OF THE FOLLOWING: [20:9.1.2] |
| | (1) A LISTED FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER |
| | (2) A LISTED FIRE PUMP POWER TRANSFER SWITCH |
| | (3) A LISTED COMBINATION FIRE PUMP CONTROLLER AND POWER |
| | TRANSFER SWITCH |
| | |
| | |
| | 6) FEED FROM FPL TRANSFORMER TO FIRE PUMP CONTROLER TO |
| | ENCASED IN A MINIMUM OF 2" |
| | |
| | SERVICE CONDUCTORS AND CONDUCTORS SUPPLIED BY ON-SITE |
| | POWER PRODUCTION FACILITIES SHALL BE PHYSICALLY ROUTED |
| | OUTSIDE A BUILDING(S) AND SHALL |
| | BE INSTALLED AS SERVICE-ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS IN |
| | ACCORDANCE WITH 230.6, 230.9 |
| | |
| | |
| | 7) LOAD CALCULATION NEEDS TO BE LAYED OUT SO THE I CAN |
| | UNDERSTAND HOW LOADS WHERE ACHIEVED. |
| | |
| | THE CALCULATED LOAD OF A FEEDER OR S ERVICE SHALL NOT |
| | BE LESS THAN THE SUM OF THE LOADS ON THE BRANCH |
| | CIRCUITS SUPPLIED, AS DETERMINED BY |
| | PART II OF THIS ARTICLE, AFTER ANY APPLICABLE DEMAND |
| | FACTORS PERMITTED BY PART III OR IV OR REQUIRED BY PART |
| | V HAVE BEEN APPLIED. |
| | THE AMPACITY OF SERVICE-ENTRANCE CONDUCTORS SHALL NOT |
| | BE LESS THAN EITHER 230.42(A)(1), (A)(2), OR (A)(3). |
| | |
| | |
| | 8) SHOW LOAD CALCULATION FOR 3200 A FEED FROM GENERATOR |
| | TO 4000A TRANSFER SWITCH |
| | |
| | THE CALCULATED LOAD OF A FEEDER OR S ERVICE SHALL NOT |
| | BE LESS THAN THE SUM OF THE LOADS ON THE BRANCH |
| | CIRCUITS SUPPLIED, AS DETERMINED BY |
| | PART II OF THIS ARTICLE, AFTER ANY APPLICABLE DEMAND |
| | FACTORS PERMITTED BY PART III OR IV OR REQUIRED BY PART |
| | V HAVE BEEN APPLIED. |
| | |
| | |
| | 9) FAULT CURRENT CALCULATION FOR SERVICE MAINS, AND SUB |
| | PANELS. |
| | |
| | THE OVERCURRENT PROTECTIVE DEVICES, THE TOTAL |
| | IMPEDANCE, THE EQUIPMENT SHORT-CIRCUIT CURRENT RATINGS, |
| | AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS |
| | OF THE CIRCUIT TO BE PROTECTED SHALL BE SELECTED AND |
| | COORDINATED TO PERMIT THE CIRCUIT PROTECTIVE DEVICES |
| | USED TO CLEAR A FAULT TO DO |
| | SO WITHOUT EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT |
| | OF THE CIRCUIT. THIS FAULT SHALL BE ASSUMED TO BE |
| | EITHER BETWEEN TWO OR |
| | MORE OF THE CIRCUIT CONDUCTORS OR BETWEEN ANY CIRCUIT |
| | CONDUCTOR AND THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR(S) |
| | PERMITTED IN 250.118. |
| | LISTED EQUIPMENT APPLIED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR |
| | LISTING SHALL BE CONSIDERED TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF |
| | THIS SECTION. |
| | |
| | |
| | 10) FOR CIRCUIT BREAKERS 1200 AMPERES AND OVER ARC |
| | ENERGY REDUCTION REQUIRED. |
| | |
| | WHERE THE HIGHEST CONTINUOUS CURRENT TRIP SETTING FOR |
| | WHICH THE ACTUAL OVERCURRENT DEVICE INSTALLED IN A |
| | CIRCUIT BREAKER IS RATED |
| | OR CAN BE ADJUSTED IS 1200 A OR HIGHER, 240.87(A) AND |
| | (B) SHALL APPLY. |
| | |
| | |
| | 11) ON RISERS ON PAGES E8.02, E8.03 SYMBOL OF A CIRCLE |
| | AND "M" IN THE MIDDLE AT ALL HIGH VOLTAGE AND LOW |
| | VOLTAGE PANELS? |
| | |
| | |
| | 12) DAS SYSTEM RISER SHOWS SEVERAL PENETRATION OF THE |
| | STAIRWELL. THIS WILL BE REFERED OVER TO THE BUILDING |
| | PLANS EXAMINER FOR REVIEW. |
