This deals with 700.9.
I have an emergency generator with 1 output breaker which powers a generator distribution panel (GDP). From the GDP i have a separate branch breaker feeding an ATS-LS (life safety) and another branch breaker feeding an ATS-SB (standby loads).
This GDP has to have separte vertical sections correct? Something like a switchboard or an MCC?
The contractor is suggesting to split the GDP into 2 separate panelboards (1 for LS and 1 for SB). In other words, the main generator feeder goes into the Stand-by panel and then feeds-thru to the Life Safety panel. Does this violate 700.9?
Any info would be appreciated...
