Re: ELEVATOR EQUIPMENT
Most of the time, when putting the plans together, we don't even get the exact horsepower size until later, let alone the actual submittal.
As a general rule, if given 25 HP, we size the wire and breaker to 30 HP and have a fused disconnect in the elevator room. When the submittal finally comes in, we follow it and need to size the fuses. Last week, the motor was a standard 25 HP, about 3 jobs back, it had a 30% service factor.
