26 24 00 Switchboards, Switchgear, and Panelboards: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide
Panelboard specs conflict with electrical single-line diagrams on bus ampacity, interrupting rating, and branch circuit configuration.
Most Switchboards, Switchgear, and Panelboards contradictions trace to the same root: the specification and the drawings are produced by different people at different stages, and never fully reconciled before the set goes out. By the time the conflict is found in the field, it is an RFI, a delay, or a change order.
Lintel cross-references section 26 24 00 against your full drawing set, schedules, and the rest of the project manual, flagging every disagreement with a citation to the exact page so it is resolved in review.
Common contradiction types
Bus ampacity vs. single-line
A frequent switchboards, switchgear, and panelboards conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Interrupting rating conflicts
A frequent switchboards, switchgear, and panelboards conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Branch circuit count mismatch
A frequent switchboards, switchgear, and panelboards conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.
Frequent RFIs
- Bus ampacity conflict between spec and single-line
- AIC rating not matching available fault current
- Branch circuit count not matching panel schedule
