This's commercial building health care facility with standby emergency system, there're two buttons outside to shut off the Main Distribution Panel and the Generator respectively. Inside the building we've a 120/208V, 3 phase panel with 20A circuit,single pole breaker to shunt trip the MDP as well. I was looking at NEC the requirement but I couldn't find.
1. Is NEC requirement to shuntdown the MDP and Gen. from outside the building?
2. Is necessary to duplicate this function and shunt trip the MDP from another panel inside the building?
Thank you and I'm appreciate to clarify this.
