What is outside the checklist?

It does not calculate fault levels, select protection settings, confirm equipment ratings or perform engineering certification. Those decisions require the responsible project team.

Common questions

What else should the bid team know?

Does this service select the critical power topology?

No. The engineer or design team supplies the approved topology. Drafting makes the approved arrangement readable and traceable.

Can a drawing show a rating that is missing from the schedule?

No. Raise the missing or conflicting input as an open item rather than guessing the rating.

Who performs engineering sign-off?

The registered engineer responsible for the job performs engineering sign-off. The drafter checks the drawing against the supplied inputs.
