Apparently not "permanent", but only for the summer months. The leasing of the gen is several thousand per month.cda said:There has to be a code that says NO.as in all businesses shal run off public power.
Does POCO now that this will be used for Permanent power???
Very similar scenario between that link and this situation, but it doesn't look like they resolved it.cda said:http://forums.mikeholt.com/showthread.php?t=125927I think it maybe a fire waiting to happen.
Yes, I've gotten some info on that whole situation which is still developing.Msradell said:The entire idea is so absurd! Especially considering the building is leased you would think that the occupant could get the owner to upgrade the power in the building to meet his requirements. I'm surprised the building owner is on board for this, or maybe he isn't?
Believe me, I'm not a big fan of this proposal either.meternerd said:Oops...sorry, I didn't read the part about the twist-lock gen. connection. Still think the POCO would not be happy. Most POCO's are kinda nervous when they hear about generation.
Why Not? As long as the generator system and the rest of the electrical wiring was code compliant they wouldn't be any reason not to issue the CO and sign the final. There's nothing in the code that requires attachment to the public utility. As a matter fact I did it one time. All the facts make it a long story but the building was running off a 50 kVA trailer mounted generator when the CO was issued, inspector didn't have any problem with that!cda said:If I built a brand new building would you final me if I was running the building off a generator for the next three months??
