I have several questions regarding design habits. I'm curious on how I can improve my design skills.
1. What's the best place to start with designing. I believe it's the service, ie. the single-line and electrical site plan, what do you think?? I would personally finalize the service before I would start doing a lot on the plans themselves.
2. When providing power for HVAC units, would you make a separate power plan, or use the same plan as you would for receptacles and miscellaneous equipment.
3. How many series of drawing would you have?? I usually have series 1-6, meaning 1.1,1.2,1.3...etc. and same for 2, 3, 4. What do you think??
4. Where do you put drawing notes, symbols, and specs(if not in booklet form)??
5. For when usually step down transformers, is it or is it not good for them to be mounted above the ceiling??
Please answer these questions as thoroughly as possible. Thanks...
