| 2023-05-10 13:27:54 | ELECTRIC REVIEW FAILED |
| | |
| | 1) OVERCURRENT PROTECTION IN ELECTRIC PANEL A FOR |
| | ELECTRIC PANEL B IS DETAILED AS 100 AMP. RISER DIAGRAM |
| | DETAILS ELECTRIC PANEL B AS 200 AMP. IT IS THE |
| | EXPERIENCE OF THIS REVIEWER THAT A 200 AMP BREAKER IS |
| | OVER THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED BY ELECTRIC PANEL MANUFACTURES |
| | AND THE ONLY CONFIGURATION I AM AWARE OF IS A 200 AMP |
| | FEED THROUGH PANEL FEEDING A 200 AMP SUB PANEL. |
| | UTILIZING AN ENGINEER OR QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL |
| | CONTRACTOR FAMILIAR WITH PREPARING RISER DIAGRAMS IS |
| | RECOMMENDED TO PREPARE A RISER DIAGRAM THAT WILL COMPLY |
| | WITH NEC CODES AND MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. NEC |
| | 215.5 |
| | |
| | 2) PANEL SCHEDULES DETAIL 2 AIR HANDLERS WITH 60 AMP |
| | OVERCURRENT PROTECTION. IT IS THE EXPERIENCE OF THIS |
| | REVIEWER THAT AIR HANDLERS WITH THIS SIZE OCP CONTAIN A |
| | 10KW HEAT STRIP NOT A 7.5 AS DETAILED IN LOAD |
| | CALCULATIONS SUBMITTED. PLEASE PROVIDE THE |
| | SPECIFICATIONS FOR BOTH AIR HANDLERS AND DETAIL THE |
| | CORRECT SIZE OCP AS APPLICABLE |
| | |
| | 3) PANEL SCHEDULES DETAIL 2 TANKLESS WATER HEATERS WITH |
| | 40 AMP OVERCURRENT AND 50 AMP OCP PROTECTION. THE PANEL |
| | SCHEDULES SUGGEST A KW RATING OF THESE WATER HEATERS AS |
| | 9600 AND 12000 KW. THE LOAD CALCULATION DETAILS THESE |
| | WATER HEATERS AS HAVING A 24,000 KW AND 18,000 KW |
| | RATING AS DETAILED IN LOAD CALCULATIONS SUBMITTED. |
| | PLEASE PROVIDE THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR BOTH TANKLESS |
| | WATER HEATERS AND DETAIL THE CORRECT SIZE OCP AS |
| | APPLICABLE. |
| | |
| | 4) BOTH ELECTRIC PANELS ARE STILL DETAILED IN CLOSETS |
| | AND NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH NEC 240.24 (D) PLEASE |
| | RELOCATE TO A CODE COMPLIANT LOCATION |
| | . |
| | 5) LOAD CALCULATION PROVIDED IN SUBMITTAL IS STILL |
| | INCORRECT. LOADS LISTED APPEAR TO BE INCORRECT, SEE |
| | ABOVE, AND DEMAND FACTORS ARE STILL BEING USED FOR SUB |
| | PANEL B LOAD IN ELECTRIC PANEL A CALCULATION. PLEASE |
| | SUBMIT A CALCULATION IN COMPLIANCE WITH EITHER NEC |
| | 220.40, STANDARD CALCULATION, OR NEC 220.80 OPTIONAL |
| | CALCULATION. AS STATED ABOVE UTILIZING AN ENGINEER OR |
| | QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR FAMILIAR WITH THESE |
| | CALCULATIONS IS RECOMMENDED. |
| | |
| | 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. |
