 Ihave a number of reservations about the tech-

nical issues in Mr. Lane’s articles, which broke 

down changes to the NEC and suggested fused 

distribution may not always be necessary when 

considering selective coordination requirements.

Both  circuit  breaker  (CB)  and  fused  systems 

provide safe and reliable overcurrent protection 

when systems are carefully engineered, installed 

and maintained. But there are significant differ-

ences that must be recognized. 

The first problem with all three articles is they do 

not look at a complete system. The one-line diagram  

in part two of the series, “The Skinny on Switchgear 

and the New NEC,” (CSE 9/05, p.15), shows a feeder 

breaker in the main switchgear (not switchboard) of 

800 amps, but neither the size of the main breaker 

is indicated, nor  whether there is a main breaker or 

a sequence service. Is there coordination between 

the 800-amp feeder breaker and the main breaker? 

To achieve this, the main breaker would require a 

short delay trip set at 12 cycles. The vast majority of 

transformers in commercial and industrial systems 

are protected on the primary side by current-limiting 

fuses. What would the coordination be? It’s difficult 

enough to coordinate CB having instantaneous trips 

with primary current-limiting fuses.

If the primary fuses open—admittedly, this rarely 

happens—the system is down until the utility replac-

es the fuses, and only after determining there is no 

problem in the transformer or main switchgear. 

Any facility requiring an 800-amp CB for the 

emergency system must be fairly large. It is reason-

able to assume a 2.5% impedance high-efficiency 

1,500- or 2,000-kVA transformer. Available short-

circuit current could easily be more than 75,000 

amps. What is the cost of CB switchgear-type con-

struction opposed to a bolted pressure switch and 

fuse switchboard? Considering only space, fused 

switchboards are readily available. They may actu-

ally take less total space than CB switchgear and 

be less expensive. The use of Class-J time-delay 

current-limiting fuses may also reduce the size of 

equipment. What about the short-circuit rating 

of other components such as busway? How will 

they be affected by the short-delay trips? It is com-

mon in high-rise construction to run busway from 

the main switchgear to distribution panels or to 

use plug-in busway to feed main-lug only (MLO) 

branch panels.

(Subhead) unnecessary risksThe same diagram shows an 800-amp CB with 

short delay trips protecting the automatic transfer 

switch (ATS). Will the ATS have an adequate  short-

circuit rating? One ATS manufacturer tests and UL 

lists its units only when protected by current-lim-

iting fuses or CB with clearing times of less than 

three cycles. Generators commonly have short-n 

is there. It is almost a knee-jerk response. While 

some industries have planned shutdowns for ser-

vice and maintenance purposes, commercial and 

other industries seldom can do so except at late 

hours. This , it should be included in every project 

specification. To do less is to increase hazard to 

personnel. No engineer can do so and meet the 

ethics of his profession.

Author Keith Lane responds: My intent was 

to solicit good conversation in the engineering 

community, which I think my article has succeeded 

in doing. I am certainly not against AHJs adopting 

the 2005 NEC. The heart of the piece was the issue 

of selective coordination but neither the size of the 

main breaker is indicated, nor  whether there is a 

main breaker or a sequence service. Is there coor-

dination between the 800-amp feeder breakerAs 

noted  in my conclusion,  I am  in  favor of good 

engineering analysis, which would include a com-

prehensive fault current calculation, coordination 

study and  appropriate settinehensive fault current 

analysis, priate setting of the breakers or with the 

use of fused distribution, the reliability of electrical 

distribution systems would be increased over what 

is required by the NEC prior to 2005.

Considering only space, fused switchboards can take up less total space than CB switchgear, cost less and require no need for rear access.

Standard column configurations are created for whatever is present in the magazine: (2 col, 3 col, 2 + 3 col, etc.) We use one text box with column and gutter settings, rather than multiple threaded frames.

Non-printing layout margins & columns for inside, outside, top and bottom set to live area. Column numbers are set on individual master pages for standard column configurations. Temporary guides are sometimes set to mark important guides, such as for rules in column gutters, etc.

It was quite obvious that the contrac-

tor  had  installed  bolts  that  were  too 

short to fully engage the threads of the 

nut. While on the site, the engineer also 

noted that the stucco lath and moisture 

barrier operations had been completed. 

In his follow-up report of the site visit, 

the engineer cited the bolting deficiency, 

with a correction, and also wrote that 

“the stucco cladding paper and lath is 

complete, ready for the scratch coat.” 

This report became a key issue in the case 

against  the designer, as  the  structural 

design allowed for the stucco cladding to 

participate in the building’s lateral force 

resistance system.

Two years  later, when  cracks  in  the 

stucco and other collateral finishes were 

observed, it was determined by forensic 

experts that the attachment of the lath 

to the wood frame employed staples that 

were  too short, and that  the  fastener 

spacing exceeded the design specifica-

tions. Essentially, the weight of the stucco 

exceeded the capacity of the fasteners 

to secure it to the frame. The engineer’s 

written report of observation was inter-

preted by the developer’s attorney as an 

endorsement of the contractor’s adher-

ence to the structural design. 

Attorneys for the developer cited the 

field report, indicating that it provided 

a  representation  that  all  of  the  work 

observed by the engineer was consistent 

with industry practices and wisdom. They 

argued  that  the  engineer’s  comment 

that “...the stucco cladding paper and 

lath is complete” additionally inferred, 

“...according to building codes and my 

specs.” The court agreed and held that no 

other individual was better informed and 

in a better position to observe a defect 

in the application of the lath than the 

engineer. The engineer was found by the 

court to have contributed substantially to 

the failures of the stucco attac ures of the 

stucco attachment.

Avoiding riskHow could this liability risk have been 

avoided? It’s all about duty. In this situa-

tion, the engineer snatched liability away 

from the contractor and the developer by 

voluntarily assuming the duty of evaluat-

ing the contractor’s work.

But  let’s  return  in  time  to  the 

developer’s initial concern about the struc-

tural connection. The engineer observes 

the same condition, but this time offers 

a substantially different report about the 

stucco: “Stucco lath and moisture barrier 

work appears complete. Since structural 

integrity of the building depends on the 

fastener use and placement for positive 

attachment to the frame, it is strongly 

recommended that you verify through 

the  building  department  or  a  deputy 

inspector that the details of the specifi-

cations were faithfully adhered to.”

The  engineer  has  just  directed  the 

owner or developer to verify compliance 

with some other entity and has pointed 

out that it is a critical component of the 

building’s design. Thus, the liability has 

been kept in the lap of the owner. The 

same  use  of  “recommendations”  can 

charge  the owner  to  seek verification 

from the contractor, thus asserting that 

the engineer’s observation was not an 

inspection. More importantly, it estab-

lishes that inspection of the work is out-

side of the engineer’s scope.

The key to this area of practice is to 

be always mindful of the duty that one 

can  end  up  assuming  as  a  result  of  a 

simple conversation or a brief written 

memo. Once again, although the case 

involved a  structural design  issue,  the 

same practice  should be  incorporated 

into the standard policies of all disciplines 

of engineering. Designers and specifiers 

should maintain strict control over the 

actual duties that they assume, and they 

should  avoid  even  the  appearance  of 

approving an owner’s and contractor’s 

work. Otherwise,  the other players  in

to hand the engineer their responsibili-

ties  and receive the endorsement of the 

design professional  for  the work  they 

have  just completed. The construction 

industry  has  established  the  standard 

that the contractor is responsible for the 

methods and materials of constructing 

the project. But as soon as an engineer

adding, “The Owner should verify with

the engineer places responsibility better 

informed and in a better position where

community, which I think my article has succeeded 

in doing. I am certainly not against AHJs adopting

noted  in my conclusion,  I am  in  favor of good 

engineering analysis, which would include a com-

prehensive fault current calculation, coordination 

study and  appropriate settinehensive fault current

use of fused distribution, the reliability of electrical 

distribution systems would be increased over what 

is required by the NEC prior to 2005.

Considering only space, fused switchboards can take up less total space than CB switchgear, cost less and require no need for rear access.

2. All mockups will be sent to e-Logic with complete paragraph and character styles and element labels in place.

3. Suggest locking frames on Master Pages that don’t move, such as a folio or section name.

4. With all document pages highlighted in pages palette, Override All Master Page Items on document pages for e-Logic review. Pages palette > Fly out menu > Override All Master Page Items (Alt+Shift-Ctr+L). This must be done because e-Logic reviews document pages, not master pages.

1. In each master page, create dummy text in all frames—dummy text is the actual name of the style sheet used (text is stripped out except for style names).

2. Examples: in the head frame you would type Head; in the Byline frame type Byline, Italic Byline [c-style]; in the NotesEditor frame type NotesEditor; in the body frame type Text DropCap, Text, Subhead, etc. (using the appropriate paragraph styles, see samples).

3. There are some exceptions such as the name of the Section and Editor’s Note (a nested c-style), which don’t change. In these cases—when the text doesn’t change—leave the live text intact.

4. Document pages must be revised to the format of the updated Master Pages.

5. All templates will have complete paragraph and character styles and element labels in place.
