Riser Feeder supports

[ohmhead]

Well i think ive been in another post many months ago and we talked about what one calls a one line diagram they call it a one line on the drawns bottom right hand side by the addendum dates but in the field guys call it the riser sheet dont ask me why its been like that for many years .

We all have our words and sayings and its just one of those example of things that you dont think about just use day in day out .

Now when we run conduits up a chase or thur a electrical room vertical on power distribution we call it a riser .

Any conduit which starts at main electrical room and sub feeds another room down stream power bank or power riser its just what we call it there is no reason or fact that i can show you .

Branch feeders - power riser - riser - were not going to say iam running the one line up that chase it just doesnt sound good .

Yes, that sounds reasonable.

And I wouldn't expect you would. One-lines don't show conduit routing.

My work is heavy industry. I work in the field, not a design office. The electricians are in the same field. About half are construction oriented and half are troubleshooting oriented - all are journeymen. And I asked a few about the term "riser diagram" describing a print showing functional equipment connections.

Generally the answer I got translated to: "Huh? Conduit/cable routing is on the Electrical Equipment Plan. Power connectiions, control device functions are on the one-line. Detailed functional connections are on the schematics and interconnect drawings."

No mention of "riser diagram" in this context.

So, I'm wondering, could this be a commercial construction term?

Well most of our oneline drawns show feeders connections to and from point to point electrical rooms with a line on sheet we then go and add size of conduits for ourself which makes a nice plan to use on layouts like this simple oneline as shown this is combined with art drawns to layout duct banks and risers in building .
