I am being asked if we can have more than one service off of a transformer, and feed it into one gutter.
We have a high voltage (13,000) transformer that has 480/277v load side. It feeds into a single gutter.
Can we add another service from the same transformer into this gutter?
Do we need to add another gutter or upsize the service condutor and tap everthing off of one service?
If it matters we also own the high voltage transformer.
I thank you for any feed back. I just never have been asked if I could have two services in the same gutter before and can not find anything in the NEC.

I don't know of a prohibition to having multiple feeders from a transformer to a single wireway or gutter as long as the provisions of Article 225, Part II are followed. You are required to that all the existing equipment is sized properly for what you are adding.

The NEC is a permissive Code, if it doesn't say ya can't then ya can. The trick is know whut it says. :cool:

This may be one to get an engineer involved to make the determinations. :smile:
