| | PREVIOUS COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 1. RISER DIAGRAM SHOWS 3/0 WIRE FEEDING A 350 AMPS |
| | SERVICE. THIS WIRE IS NOT RATED FOR 350 AMPS SERVICE. |
| | PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 310.15(B)(7); FBC RE E3603.1 |
| | |
| | NOT CORRECTED. |
| | |
| | RISER DIAGRAM SHOWS A (1) 4/0 EXISTING CONDUCTOR FOR |
| | THE OVERHEAD SERVICE TO FPL TRANSFORMER AND (1) 4/0 |
| | FROM EXISTING METER TO EXISTING 350 AMPS SERVICE |
| | DISCONNECT. THIS IS NOT ENOUGH FOR A 350 AMPS SERVICE |
| | AND IT SHOULD BE AT LEAST 3 CONDUCTORS OR TWO SETS OF |
| | THE PROPERLY SIZED CONDUCTORS. PLEASE CORRECT. |
| | |
| | |
| | 2. ON RISER DIAGRAM, WIRE FROM MAIN DISCONNECT TO |
| | INTERIOR PANELS SHOULD INCLUDE AN EQUIPMENT GROUNDING |
| | CONDUCTOR. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 250.122; FBC RE |
| | E3704.6 |
| | |
| | NOT CORRECTED. |
| | |
| | STILL MISSING ON NEW RISER DIAGRAM. EACH FEEDER TO |
| | PANEL A AND TO PANEL B SHOULD HAVE 4 CONDUCTORS, THE |
| | 3#3/0 PLUS THE EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CONDUCTOR SIZED AS |
| | PER NEC 250-122; FBC RE E3704.6. PLEASE PROVIDE THE |
| | ACTUAL SIZE OF THE GROUNDING EQUIPMENT CONDUCTOR. A |
| | NOTE INDICATING TO SIZE THEM AS PER NEC 250-122 IS NOT |
| | ENOUGH. |
| | |
| | 3. UNDER THE TITLE FOR NEW ELECTRIC ONLY, AFCI |
| | PROTECTION SHOWN IS NOT CODE COMPLIANT. ALL BRANCH |
| | CIRCUITS THAT SUPPLY 120-VOLT, SINGLE-PHASE, 15- AND |
| | 20-AMPERE OUTLETS INSTALLED IN KITCHENS, FAMILY ROOMS, |
| | DINING ROOMS, LIVING ROOMS, PARLORS, LIBRARIES, DENS, |
| | BEDROOMS, SUN-ROOMS, RECREATIONS ROOMS, CLOSETS, |
| | HALLWAYS, LAUNDRY AREAS AND SIMILAR ROOMS OR AREAS |
| | SHALL BE AFCI PROTECTED. THIS INCLUDES LIGHTING AND |
| | POWER OUTLETS AND RECEPTACLES. SOME AREAS REQUIRE BOTH |
| | AFCI AND GFCI PROTECTION. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC |
| | 210.8, 210.12; FBC RE E3902; FBC EX 607.1.1 OR 801.1, |
| | 801.2, OR 901.2 AS APPLICABLE. |
| | |
| | PARTIALLY CORRECTED BUT LANGUAGE INDICATING THAT SOME |
| | AREAS REQUIRE BOTH AFCI AND GFI IS VAGUE. ONE OPTION IS |
| | TO INDICATE IN PANEL SCHEDULE WHAT CIRCUITS HAVE AFCI |
| | OR GFCI OR BOTH. |
| | |
| | 4. UNDER THE TITLE FOR NEW ELECTRIC ONLY AND NOTE 14, |
| | NOTE STATES THAT RECEPTACLES SHALL BE TAMPER RESISTANT |
| | PER NEC 406.11. THIS CODE SECTION DOES NOT APPLY TO |
| | TAMPER RESISTANT RECEPTACLES. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC |
| | 406.12; FBC RE E4002.14 |
| | |
| | CORRECTED. |
| | |
| | 5. PROVIDE ACCURATE LOAD CALCULATION INCLUDING ALL |
| | LOADS. LOAD CALCULATION PROVIDED IS NOT CODE COMPLIANT. |
| | NEC 220; FBC RE E3602.2 |
| | |
| | DOES THE TOTAL LOAD FOR EXISTING PANEL A INCLUDES THE |
| | LOAD FOR NEW PANEL B? TOTAL LOAD OF 99 AMPS SEEMS SMALL |
| | FOR A 350 AMPS SERVICE. |
| | |
| | |
| | 6. IT APPEARS THIS PANEL IS LOCATED IN A SEPARATE |
| | STRUCTURE FROM THE BUILDING THAT HAS THE MAIN SERVICE. |
| | IF THIS IS THE CASE, PANEL B WILL NEED TO EITHER HAVE A |
| | MAIN BREAKER, OR A DISCONNECT AHEAD OF IT AT THE |
| | STRUCTURE. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC 225.31, 225.32 |
| | |
| | NOT CLEAR. PANEL SCHEDULE FOR PANEL B DESCRIBES THE |
| | PANEL AS MAIN LUGS ONLY (MLO) BUT RISER DIAGRAM |
| | DESCRIBES PANEL B HAS HAVING A MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER |
| | (MCB). IF PANEL B HAS A MAIN CIRCUIT BREAKER, PLEASE |
| | PROVIDE SIZE IN AMPS AND IF MLO PLEASE PROVIDE SIZE OF |
| | DISCONNECT AHEAD OF IT AT STRUCTURE AND SHOW IT ON |
| | RISER DIAGRAM. |
| | |
| | |
| | ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: |
| | |
| | 7. PLEASE PROVIDE LOCATION OF MAIN SERVICE DISCONNECT, |
| | EXISTING PANEL A, NEW PANEL B. POWER LAYOUT SHOWS A NEW |
| | PANEL A LOCATED IN GARAGE, BUT RISER DIAGRAM DESCRIBES |
| | PANEL A AS EXISTING. PLEASE CORRECT AND CLEARLY SHOW |
| | LOCATION OF ALL THESE ELEMENTS. |
| | |
| | |
| | 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. |
