Hi all,
I'm reviewing a project that appears to be a prefab exterior K-9 kennel, which comes complete with lights, HVAC and a manufacturer installed electrical panel. All we are being asked to do is provide feeder to it. It is located separate from the main building, so is its own structure. We are bringing 480 to it and then stepping down to 120/240V. I've done livestock/ag-ish projects before where we did the equipotential ground mesh thing, but my reading of the code (and the internet) is "dog kennel" and "livestock" are two different environments and the equipotential ground mesh is not required at a kennel. Do I call for basic grounding electrodes to be established at the transformer secondary / kennel panel and call it a day?
I assume there is a kennel vendor/manufacturer involved, since this is a prefab deal, so I will ask the same question of them back through those channels. But any insight the group has here is appreciated!
