Not your average cookie cutter installation.
I've got a client-owned storage building with electrical distribution gear inside, and three or four 480V services coming out of it to nearby smaller buildings and contractor trailers. The services are all routed overhead, with the section between poles in question running about 10-15 feet from all of the cables to ground level.
They want to install an attached canopy above the cables. Not under...above.
I have already checked that they will not be backing semi trailers up to the wires (about 12 feet from them, and the truck would hit the canopy before they came in contact with the wires).
I am obviously not used to building services running through another building...under, sure...but not through. Does it even matter that they would be running through the same building they are being fed from?
Or am I going to have to tell them all of the services must be raised higher on the poles, assuming that is even possible?
