Hi All, this is my first time posting a questions, but have been searching the site for a few years to get answers......and thanks to you all! :thumbsup:
I am an electrical designer and we have a project with an existing 480V switchboard and existing circuit breaker. The client wants us to show feeders to a junction box, cap off the feeders to make safe, and leave the existing 800A circuit breaker with lock-out/tag-outs. They are going to have a building shutdown (large school) to add a new RTU (part of our scope) and want to keep from having another shutdown in the future when/if they have a use for their existing spare circuit breaker.
Is this a code violation, and if so, what section?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
