A good place to start would be to read Art 695How do you design an electric service that serves nothing but a fire pump?
Yes. but there's a lot more to it. Again, Art 695Is this not required to be connected ahead of the service disconnect?
Does this mean there will be no service disconnect and it is fed straight from the meter can into the pump controller?
...Is this not required to be connected ahead of the service disconnect? ...
...Yes. but there's a lot more to it. Again, Art 695 ....
Augie -
where does the code say a fire pump has to be connected ahead of the service disconnecting means?
Every thing I read says "permitted" to be installed ahead" of the service. It doesn't say "shall be installed ahead".

The way I read that (695.3) and the way I have seen it interpreted is "permitted to be (a) a separate service or (b) ahead of the regular service" an either or situation.
