My last post was this one in case you forgot:

1) Why 12/2 HR to the hood? Some big commercial hood going in?

2) Those are nice drawings and schematics. What program did you use.
Not that we draw things like this is up typically, but I'd love to try that out.

Hi Petey - In response to your questions:

1) Good point, this could probably be 14/2 since the hood is only 5.5 amps.
2) Thanks! I use AutoCAD. I use it a lot for work anyways, so it's easy for me to "fake" stuff like this...

Another thing I noticed. You're not planning to run 14/3 between the UC lights, are you?
If so you cannot do that. You would need to run 3-wire from switch to switch, then a 2-wire switch leg to all the lights.

Petey, so if I'm hearing you correctly, the ucl circuit should be switch to switch with 14/3, and from one of those switches just use 14/2 to all the ucl's? That def. sounds easier

Anybody else care to comment? I'm surprised I haven't heard from Ronnatalie and a few others like I did on my previous post... Oh well, I thought I'd try. Thanks!

It looks ok to me other than you only need 14/2 for some of the runs you've got 14/3 as already mentioned.

Sorry. Yes, you are right with your last reply to me.

Ok cool, Im pulling together stuff for my building permit application,so I just wanted to follow up... Thanks everybody!

Just for my information, why can't you use 14/3 when 14/2 is all that is necessary? I can think of two reasons to use 14/3: 1. Future expansion, and 2. I already have a lot of 14/3 and don't want to see it go to waste. Of course, the extra wire would be capped off.

Nothing precludes it, it's just costly for hardly any benefit. I'm not sure what "future expansion" you envision being useful here.
