Re: Riser Diagram?


ZMan, someone at the building department is confused. A riser diagram is a diagram of main distribuion panels and subpanels and sub-subpanels (sort of like a family tree) for industrial facilities and office buildings. A riser diagram shows what panels are fed out of what panel. Question them again. I think that they might want a branch circuit diagram, which is nothing more than marking a floor plan with the switch, receptacle, and light locations, and panel location. You can scribble this on a Xerox'd print normally.
