Hello, good afternoon, and thank you all in advance.
We are designing a casino for a client within the existing facilities of their hotel.
My first question is as follows.
Do I need minimum 1 generator 2 ATS, one for the emergency system (required by NEC), and another for "Legally Required Standby Power" and "optional" systems (critical for the casino's operation).
The hotel's engineering team says that the existing hotel generators can be used (if the load allows).
My question is whether, because it's a casino, I would need generators and ATS independent of those already existing for the hotel, and which code determines this. I have searched the NEC, and it only indicates generators and ATS according to the type of load to be supplied (Article 702).
If you have any opinions or suggestions on where I could look, I would appreciate it.
The project is in Miami, Florida. I'm trying to find the regulation that governs gaming and casinos in Florida to see if there are any specific requirements for installations, but I haven't been able to find it yet.
Thank you again!
