Panel Schedules & Electrical Code

[theelenore]

When circuiting up a building, the program (by default it appears) circuits in sequence of "Panel-1,2,3" instead of "Panel-1,3,5" or "Panel-2,4,6". This causes a problem a major problem with designing an electrical system. Also in a circuit run (of 2 or 3 circuits), you can share the neutral wire. New to the code you need to include a circuit breaker tie to the circuit breakers which share the neutral so that maintenance can be done with less chance of electrocution.

There needs to be a way to group up these circuits to better work with code and best practices. Especially before you click the Balance loads button.

i read your post and wanted to ask if you would be so kind and if you are in the electrical field of desinging, would you tell me where i could learn title-24? i been doing moderate design but mainly CAD-Electrical Drafting for 12+ years and everytime i get to being exposed to design i get caught up in drafting cause im fast and proficient, dont get me wrong i love what i do but i just feel like i want to do so much more not just for self satisfaction but for my company and to be a better asset and be able to open us up for more jobs. any info. is greatly appreciated.

Title 24 is all of the Building Codes in California. If you mean Title 24 Part 6 Energy Code you can download the code and application manual at http://www.energy.ca.gov/title24/
