| | ELECTRICAL REVIEW STATUS: DENIED, SEE COMMENTS BELOW. |
| | |
| | 1. RISER DIAGRAM IS NOT CODE COMPLIANT. SERVICE |
| | CONDUCTORS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO EXTEND FURTHER THAN 8 |
| | FEET INTO A STRUCTURE WITHOUT OVERCURRENT PROTECTION. |
| | IF THIS OVERCURRENT PROTECTION IS LOCATED ON THE |
| | EXTERIOR OF THE DWELLING, THAN THE CONDUIT TO THE |
| | INTERIOR PANEL MUST INCLUDE AN EQUIPMENT GROUNDING |
| | CONDUCTOR. RISER SHOWS WHAT APPEARS TO BE A METER CAN |
| | ONLY LABELED AS A METER MAIN DISCONNECT OUTSIDE, BUT |
| | ALSO SHOWS A MAIN BREAKER PANEL INSIDE. IF THE |
| | CONDUCTORS ARE RUN UNDERGROUND FROM THE METER TO THE |
| | INTERIOR PANEL, AND THAT PANEL HAS A MAIN BREAKER, THE |
| | CONDUCTORS MUST NOT EXCEED 8 FEET IN LENGTH BEFORE |
| | TERMINATION TO THE MAIN BREAKER. PROVIDE CLARIFICATION |
| | AND/OR CORRECTION. NEC 230.70, 250.122; FBC RE E3601.6, |
| | E3704.6, 3607.3.1 |
| | 2. AFCI PROTECTION SHOWN IN NOTE 21 IS NOT CODE |
| | COMPLIANT. THIS NOTE ONLY REQUIRES RECEPTACLES TO BE |
| | AFCI PROTECTED. 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 |
| | 3. PROVIDE COMPLIANCE: A MINIMUM OF 75 PERCENT OF THE |
| | LAMPS IN PERMANENTLY INSTALLED LIGHTING FIXTURES SHALL |
| | BE HIGH-EFFICACY LAMPS OR A MINIMUM OF 75 PERCENT OF |
| | THE PERMANENTLY INSTALLED LIGHTING FIXTURES SHALL |
| | CONTAIN ONLY HIGH EFFICACY LAMPS. A NOTE WILL SUFFICE. |
| | FBC EC C405.1, R404.1 |
| | 4. FAULT CURRENT CALCULATION IS INCORRECT. THIS IS NOT |
| | A PARALLEL SERVICE, SO THERE WOULD NOT BE 2 CONDUCTORS |
| | PER PHASE. ALSO, RISER DIAGRAM DOES NOT SHOW THE WIRE |
| | FROM THE FPL TRANSFORMER TO THE METER MAIN DISCONNECT, |
| | SO HOW WAS THIS CALCULATION PERFORMED? WHAT WIRE SIZE |
| | WAS USED? PROVIDE CORRECTED CALCULATION. NEC 110.9, |
| | 110.10; FBC RE E3606.3 |
| | 5. RECEPTACLES SHALL BE INSTALLED SO THAT NO POINT |
| | MEASURED HORIZONTALLY ALONG THE FLOOR LINE OF ANY WALL |
| | SPACE IS MORE THAN 6 FEET FROM A RECEPTACLE OUTLET. THE |
| | WALL SPACING REQUIREMENTS FOR KITCHEN COUNTER SPACE |
| | STATE THAT RECEPTACLE OUTLETS SHALL BE INSTALLED SO |
| | THAT NO POINT ALONG THE WALL LINE IS MORE THAN 24 |
| | INCHES MEASURED HORIZONTALLY FROM A RECEPTACLE OUTLET |
| | IN THAT SPACE. THIS INCLUDES ANY WALL SPACE 2 FEET OR |
| | MORE IN WIDTH. THE PLAN PROVIDED DOES NOT MEET THIS |
| | CODE IN SOME AREAS. PROVIDE CORRECTION. NEC |
| | 210.52(C)(1); FBC RE E3901 |
| | |
| | |
| | |
