Bringing transparency to federal inspections
Tag No.: K0145
Based on random observation during the survey walk through while accompanied by the Director of Engineering, the surveyor found that the emergency electrical installation did not meet all of the requirements of NFPA-70. This could affect all occupants of the building if the emergency power system does not operate properly upon the loss of normal power.
Findings include:
A. Panels LP-LL, and Panel ESS2 in the main electrical room had mixed loads that were not separated into the proper emergency branches as required by NFPA-70, Section 517-32 through 517-34.
