Hey all. I don't do any hazardous location work at all. At least I haven't in years.
A good friend asked me to come over to the boat club where he is a member. It seems another member, who is a utility worker (engineer or something like that) ran 2" PVC in the rafters of an open "pavillion" (like apole barn with no walls) for a new service to feed some added docks.
First thing he did was run a weatherhead straight out on the horizontal conduit. This was his intended point of attachment. The conduit was run across the trusses to the other side (+/- 100') to another weatherhead, spliced to a riser, down into a meter pan. Not a very workmanship like job.
Problem one is I feel the unfused service condutors are inside, even though they are in open air they are well under the pavillion roof. I will have to move the meter to the close end.
Second problem. The other end has a 200 amp disconnect, with load side going underground to another pole, an so on.
This disconnect is about 10' from a gasoline storage tank. Not a dispensing tank, just storage.
Will this disconnect fly, or do I have to re-run the whole thing so it is an unbroken conduit running down the corner pole straight underground?
I will then put the disconnect on the other end of the pavillion with the meter.
Any ideas.
Sorry if this is confusing.
