Is it not true that in a nursing home all hvac equip must be connected to your critical power branch panel(s)?
As I have read Article 517, I understand it that no HVAC equip should be connected to normal power branch.
Basically, unlike a hospital where all your hvac gets connected to your essential equipment branch, in a nursing home/limited care facility that equipment branch goes away and all your hvac loads get connected to critical branch.
I admit I could be missing something here. Some advice from the pros would be very helpful, thanks in advance.
