We have installed sever external mounted kW meters (http://www.kele.com/power-monitoring-and-protection/engenius.aspx) that tie into a building automation system for monitoring. The electrical inspector is requiring circuit protection (10AMP circuit breakers) on the voltage taps. Since these voltage taps are for monitoring only is there any special allowance in the NEC that would allow the voltage taps to be installed without being tied to circuit breakers (circuit protection)? Some of the taps as long at 10 - 15 ft. from the CB panel to the kW meter.
