About this file
This document is an Electrical Symbols and Abbreviations sheet for a Veterans Affairs (VA) project involving parking lighting expansion and rewiring at the Charles George VAMC in Asheville, NC. The sheet provides comprehensive electrical abbreviations, including standard industry acronyms for electrical components like amperage (A, AF, AT), circuit breakers (CB), transformers (XFMR), and various technical descriptors. The document also includes several critical general electrical notes, such as requirements for fire-rated wall penetrations, equipment damage replacement, wiring device matching, and specific electrical system bonding and protection guidelines for critical and life safety branch circuits.
The sheet is part of the construction bid documents for project number 637-20-104, prepared by Atriax PLLC and Specialized Engineering Solutions, with a bid/issue date of 07/11/2025. It includes electrical symbols for branch circuits, conduit, lighting fixtures, and security elements, along with a sheet index for the electrical drawing set. The document is specifically associated with the VA Veterans Health Administration's project for expanding and rewiring parking lighting at the Asheville, NC medical center, with detailed technical specifications to guide electrical installation and compliance.

A. FOR ALL CONDUIT AND OTHER ITEMS PENETRATING A FIRE RATED WALL, PROVIDE UL LISTED THROUGH PENETRATION FIRE STOPPING SYSTEM THAT IS SPECIFIC TO THE WALL CONSTRUCTION ASSEMBLY AND COMPLIANT WITH ASTM E814. INSTALL SYSTEM IN STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH THE FIRE STOPPING MANUFACTURER’S U.L. APPROVED DETAIL. WHERE EXISTING WALLS ARE BEING UPGRADED TO FIRE RATED WALLS OR THE FIRE RATING IS BEING MODIFIED, PROVIDE U.L. LISTED THROUGH PENETRATION FIRE STOPPING SYSTEM FOR ALL NEW AND EXISTING PENETRATIONS. REFER TO THE ARCHITECTURAL LIFE
SAFETY PLANS FOR LOCATIONS OF FIRE RATED WALLS.
B. ANY ITEMS DAMAGED BY THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE REPLACED BY THE CONTRACTOR, AT NO ADDITIONAL
COST TO THE OWNER.
C. NEW WIRING DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED COVERPLATES SHALL MATCH EXISTING FINISH OF SIMILAR
INSTALLED DEVICES.
D. THE SELECTED EQUIPMENT AIC RATINGS ARE BASED ON THE IMPEDANCES FOR CONDUCTORS AND TRANSFORMERS USED IN THE CALCULATIONS. IF DIFFERENT EQUIPMENT OR DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS
ARE SELECTED FOR INSTALLATION, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING
ADEQUATELY RATED EQUIPMENT THAT MEETS APPLICABLE SELECTIVE COORDINATION GOALS AND
PROVIDES SIMILAR INCIDENT ENERGY RISK OF ARC FLASH HAZARDS.
E. PROVIDE AN INSULATED CONTINUOUS COPPER CONDUCTOR, NOT SMALLER THAN #10, TO BOND ALL
NORMAL AND ESSENTIAL ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PANELBOARDS TOGETHER THAT SERVE THE SAME
INDIVIDUAL PATIENT VICINITY AS DEFINED IN NEC 517.14.
F. ALL CRITICAL AND LIFE SAFETY BRANCH CIRCUITS, INCLUDING LIGHTING AND WALL RECEPTACLES, SHALL BE MECHANICALLY PROTECTED PER NEC 517.31(C)(3). NON-FLEXIBLE RACEWAY SHALL BE USED FOR CRITICAL AND LIFE SAFETY BRANCH CIRCUITS, EXCEPT THAT THE FINAL CONNECTION TO VIBRATING EQUIPMENT OR LIGHT FIXTURES IF THE TOTAL LENGTH OF FLEXIBLE RACEWAY IS 6' OR LESS ACROSS THE
ENTIRE CIRCUIT LENGTH.
G. PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORTS AS REQUIRED TO INDEPENDENTLY SUPPORT ALL EXISTING TO REMAIN
CABLING.
