240-21 (5) Outside feeders taps do not need OCP as long as the conductors terminate in a correctly sized breaker no matter how long.
What will cause the breaker at the end of the tap wire to trip if the short happens before the breaker? Can the breaker installed in the middle trip protecting wire ahead of it and behind? will it apply on overhead spans of feeder also?
