I was working on putting a new HVAC unit in a small commercial building when a came upon a wire tap. I was asked to check to see if the TAP violated the 25FT rule for taps and got confused as I started to research the rule. The electrical service comes through the electrical meter then to a 200 amp disconnect. The feeder then goes approximately 33ft to a circuit breaker panel #1. There is a tap off this feeder going to panel #1 to another panel #2. This tap is approximately 15FT between the 200amp service disconnect and circuit breaker panel #1. The wire is 3/0 wire with a 1/0 neutral wire. Does this tap violate the 25ft tap rule or the 10ft rule?
