This is a hypothetical question just for my own knowledge so I am going to omit derating, and continuous load. The question is: is this a tap as specified under the 240.21 (B) tap rules.
A 50 KVA, single phase, 240 volt secondary voltage transformer.
A 50 KVA xfmr can supply 208 amps on the secondary.
If I were to run one set of secondary conductors from the xfmr secondary to a 100 amp panel. Also, run a second set of secondary conductors from the xfmr to another 100 amp panel.
Am I right that both of these runs are "tap" conductors, and the rules under 240.21 (B) need to be followed?
Thanks,
Rich
