EC LICENSE signing and sealing plans

[sola7114]

Can I use my STATE OF FLORIDA EC LICENSE
to sign a set of permitted drawings?
A client of ours Is adding a new 50 amp RTU and some general lighting and receptacles to their existing 3 phase 200 amp 120/208 panel
The job is under $10,000

Thanks in advance for your help

Don't know about Fl. laws but I would suspect this is something only a licensed engineer could/should do not an EC.

Did you get a seal along with your EC license?
Usually the wording of the drawing requirement specifically calls for a PE.

If you read florida statutes for Chapter 489 which dictates the laws/regulations for E.C. you will find that you are allowed to sign off plan / drawing & calculations, I believe for residential it is up to 600 amps and for commercial up to 800 amps systems.. You should also look into the Florida building Codes for this info. Some local jurisdictions may review plans and reject and may request a PE seal from a State registered engineeer/architect.

I don't know about FL either, here in CA it says that as long as you are the contractor doing the work, you can draw and prepare plans.

Like we say here, "you don't worry about how much it costs, we'll get it right if we have to spend every dime you have."

Is that panel MDP 1 of 1?
Or is it one of many?
I'm a former Florida Building Official and I'd look at the size of the "service" not just one panel being worked on to see if a FL P.E. is req'd.
Anytime you add load you need to run your calcs all the way back to the service.
