DRWeig,
Thanks for the input. Now that you put it in that perspective, I think I will pursue AP status. I think the USGBC changed their credentialing a bit and removed the "Existing Buildings" sub-certification and lumped it under building operations and maintenance.
I think the...
Any opinions out there on obtaining USGBC LEED credentials? I am an EE, I have my EIT, and my primary work is on institutional rennovations. It seems that architects benefit from credentialing the most.
I am looking to spend my hard earned money on a useful electrical engineering handbook. I primarily design low to medium voltage electrical systems (drives, transformers, switchgear, etc.)
Excuse me while I eat some humble pie. I am a new EE and I allowed myself to soley rely on the NEC's methods of conductor sizing and focus on the required typical data for doing so. I found my answer in NFPA 780-the same source I culled.
However, before I declare my question answered, I...
Thanks for the information. The existing system utilizes two, #4 condcutors and the whole appears to be meet code-for a thirty year old installation. We are in the preliminary stages and will have the system inspected/tested, but we wanted to see if it is adequate before we begin.
I have culled NFPA 780 for any information on sizing a down conductor for a Class II installation, but to no avail. I am specifically looking for a value for current resulting from a lightning strike.
