Feeder definition clarification.

[Pinnie]

“Feeder. All circuit conductors between the service equipment, the source of a separately, derived system, or other power supply source and the final branch-circuit overcurrent device.”

Just to quickly clarify, the final ocpd being the last one before the utilization equipment yes?

I’m reading 250.94(A)(4)(b) and it says “…a building supplied that is supplied by a feeder or a branch circuit…”. Then I started thinking when could you have a building supplied by a branch circuit?

The building doesn't have to be "completely supplied" by the branch circuit

A garage or outbuilding that only requires a disconnect. One circuit is ran to it.

You can supply a "building" like a storage shed with a Multiwire Branch Circuit or a single circuit. You could supply a well house with a circuit to the pump.

..... Or what the other guys said, it could be a small building

Yes

I see I see. Thank you sir.
