To all,
I am looking to find or see if there is a specific code in the NFPA for a distance stated for a MDP to a generator, or is it something the AHJ determines?
I am currently in Somalia contracting with the military. The entire base is run on many generators. The Military is now looking to buy several big generators and install MDP's and transfer switches along the Hesco wall behind the new generators for this site to upgrade the electrical system.
I dont recall any code reference for a distance of a MDP to a diesel generator...whether it be in Article 445 or in Section 500. I have also looked under NFPA 37 and 110. I have seen a recommendation of about 60-90 feet...but that seems a bit far given our military installation is not that big.
Any insight is appreciated
