Fla. Admin. Code Ann. R. 61G15-33.003 - Design of Power Systems
(1) Power systems
convey or distribute electrical energy. Items to be considered in the design
and analysis of power systems are, as applicable to the particular project:
steady state and transient load characteristics, short circuit availability,
arc flash potential, load flow, voltage drop, effects of harmonics, power
factor, and protective device coordination.
(2) For Engineering Documents pertaining to
Electrical Systems exempted by the threshold requirements for mandatory use of
professional engineering services established by Section
471.003(2)(h),
F.S., the Engineer of Record shall determine the level of detail shown on plans
for an Electrical system. All such plans shall include a disclaimer stating the
Electrical systems are exempt from professional engineering services and shall
provide a clear understanding of the minimum system requirements expected to be
installed by the contractor and permitted by the authority having jurisdiction
(AHJ). In the event the Engineer of Record provides more information and
direction than its minimally required, he or she shall be held responsible for
the technical accuracy of the work in accordance with applicable codes,
standards, and sound engineering principles.
(3) Electrical Engineering Documents for
power systems that exceed the threshold requirements for mandatory use of
professional engineering services must include the following information, if
applicable to the particular project:
(a)
Power distribution riser diagram.
(b) Conductor sizes (AWG or kcmil) and
insulation type, or cable assemblies characteristics.
(c) Circuit interrupting devices, ratings and
fault current interrupting capability.
(d) Location and characteristics of any surge
protective devices, if included in the engineering design.
(e) Main and distribution equipment, control
devices, locations and ratings.
(f)
Circuitry of all outlets, equipment and devices.
(g) Feeder and service capacity
calculations.
(h) Electrical
legends.
(i) Grounding and bonding
requirements.
(j) Instrumentation
and control when necessary for safe operation or to show intended
function.
(k) Engineering Documents
applicable to power systems filed for public record shall also contain
information required by the Florida Building Code, incorporated by reference in
subsection 61G15-18.001(6),
F.A.C.
(l) Engineers performing arc
flash hazard analysis must determine arc flash approach distance, assess and
convey the incident energy levels, and identify appropriate PPE class. Any such
verification shall constitute an Engineering Certification as that term is
defined in subsection
61G15-18.011(4),
F.A.C., and must comply with the Responsibility Rules, including Rule
61G15-29.001, F.A.C.
