Hi: I observed an installation at a correctional facility that makes me wonder a little. The service entrance conductors (in question) to the facility building originate at an outside 300 kva dry-type pad mount transformer and travel 15 feet underground in ridgid conduits (2), then enter the building with an approximately 65 feet (total length) run to an MLO panelboard. The conductors have current-limiters connected within the MLO PB. The conduits are RMC but not encased in concrete or otherwise protected. They hang from the bar joists with unistrut. These conductors travel a long way into the building without secondary protection. Is this a code-compliant installation? Do I need to provide more info? If these are service conductors, they're a long ways into the building without ocp. If it's some kind of tap, seems like way too long a tap....Thanks
