Dry Transformer Locations

[north star]

~ ~ ~ ~



I have an existing space in a semi-Commercial bldg. that has

an existing 4" backflow preventer / potable water lines.

In an effort to provide some expansion for future electrical

needs for the building, an EC wants to install a dry type

transformer and some panelboards in this existing space

with the backflow preventer........This location is not definite

yet, ...the EC is just asking for the nearest location to an

exterior, pad mounted transformer to which they will be

tapping off of..........Also, a question has arisen concerning

the actual placement of the transformer [ i.e. - on the floor,

...wall mounted, or above a ACT grid ].

Does anyone see any issues with installing these "new"

electrical components in this existing space ?.........The space

is not currently sprinkled nor will it be.......I am referencing

the `08 NEC.

Thanks for any input !
