Plan review ensures the proposed electrical work complies with the NEC and other applicable codes before installation begins. This helps prevent violations and safety issues during inspections.
Plans with code violations, such as undersized feeders, must be corrected to ensure safety and code compliance. Approval should only be given after corrections are made.
Per NEC 404.8(A), disconnect switches must be readily accessible and installed so the operating handle is not more than 6 feet 7 inches above the floor.
NEC Table 310.16 specifies that #14 AWG conductors have a maximum ampacity of 15 amps. Using a 20-amp breaker with #14 AWG conductors is a code violation, as it risks overheating and fire.
Labeling and identification are critical for safety and maintenance. NEC Article 110.22 requires that disconnects, panels, and circuits be properly labeled to identify their function.
