I like to know if a fire pump system's wiring that was installed about 25 years ago needs to be updated in any way to a code standard [ fire, building or electrical] ? This would be for a county goverment property that requires a emergency generator .
The exisisting fire pump is connected ahead of the main breaker in the same service panel and if the utility trans loses power then the fire pump is left without an electrical supply. Another issue is the feed to fire pump control panel and pumps is about 150-200 feet from service installed in galvenize conduit passing through the building.
The electrical system has a emergency generator if utility loses power , but the fire pump does not have a alternate source of power.
Does anyone know if this type of installation needs to be changed , updated at anytime ?
Thanks for any help on this.
