Here is the situation:
It appears to meet the code requirements but does it since not all 3 conductors per phase are tapped but only 2 per phase? I could not find anything specific in the code, unless I missed it, where an equal number of conductors must be tapped.
This is on a 480Y/277V circuit.
Thanks in advance for reading and/or replying.
- A 1200A breaker set at 960A
- 3 sets of 500mcm (1140A) run from the breaker to an MCC for a length of 500ft
- 25ft from from the breaker, the 500mcm is tapped with 2 sets of 500mcm (760A) and runs to another MCC 25ft in conduit
