I have a building with a 2000 Amp service for one tenant space and a 400 amp for the other tenant space. They want to combine the tenant space. The services are 850 feet apart. I suggested that we feed the 400 amp service from the 2000 amp service. The Architect thinks that we could put a 400 amp shunt trip on the 400 amp service with bold signs at each service and a pushbutton for the shunt trip at the 2000 amp service. I told the architect that we wanted no part of the shunt trip scenario. My concern is if the 2000 amp service is disconnected first then the shunt trip would not work. Am I wrong? Is there another solution that I do not see? He thinks I am wrong to want an Engineer to approve and stamp the shunt trip idea.
