| | 1. ONLY ONE SERVICE PER RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS IS |

| | BE FEED FROM THE EXISTING SERVICE, UNLESS ONE OF THE |
| | EXCEPTIONS TO NEC 230.2 APPLY. PROVIDE CORRECTION |
| | AND/OR CLARIFICATION. WPB FBC 107.2.1; NEC 230.2; FBC |

| | BUT THE SERVICE SPECIFIED IS 150 AMP. THIS IS NOT |
| | SUFFICIENT TO CARRY THE LOAD CALCULATED, BUT IT APPEARS |
| | THE LOAD WAS NOT CALCULATED CORRECTLY. NEC 215.2, 220, |
| | 408.30; FBC RE E3602.2 (LOAD CALCULCATION FOR REMODELED |
| | STRUCTURE IS SATISFACTORY, BUT THE LOAD REQUIRED FOR |
| | THE MAIN SERVICE NEEDS TO BE SUPPLIED BASED ON COMMENTS |
| | 1 AND 2. ADDITIONALLY, THE PANEL SCHEDULE SHOWS A |
| | STANDARD WATER HEATER WHEN A TANKLESS IS SPECIFIED IN |
| | THE LOAD CALCULATION. CORRECT DISCREPANCY AND PROVIDE |
| | LOAD CALCULATION FOR THE 100 AMP PANEL TO CONFIRM IT |
| | HAS THE CAPACITY FOR THIS LOAD.) |

| | WIRE. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC CHAPTER 9 TABLES) |
