Hey There.
The NEC discusses several methods for starting fire pumps. If you use a soft start starter (reduced voltage starter) that has a bypass would you
need to take into account a scenario that the starter electronics would be inoperable and could be in bypass mode when called for? This would
mean you would need to take into account the full voltage starting currents when sizing a generator and therefore not get the benefit of using a
reduced voltage starter or other type of soft start method.
