Hello, I have a general question about standby generators and ATS?s.
I specify generators and ATS?s for water and wastewater projects where they are considered as ?Legally Required? systems.
I typically provide enough power with a generator to completely operate the plant, lift station, etc.
All my projects are low voltage, three phase and but the voltages very: 208Y, 240 delta, and 480 (straight B phase) or 480/277V.
My questions are:
Do I always have to specify a SE rated ATS for these projects or are there criteria that would allow me to use a non-SE rated ATS?
What gets bonded and where?
Do I always have to switch the neutral?
The cost and size difference is significant and I?d like to save money and space if possible.
