Good morning all , and thanks for being here. This forum has helped me through many instances of indecisiveness . Hopefully , that will be the case here.
I am working on a project at a multi-story / multi-tenant building. The second floor tenant is adding a computer room and wants to pull a separate 277/480V 200 amp feeder from the landlords MSWB in the basement 300 ft. away to serve the computer room. He also wants to provide a 230 KW standby generator at another location , also on the first floor level with the transfer switch in the tenant space on the second floor. My questions:
1. Since this is not a new "service " and only a feeder being brought to the tenant space , does the requirement for service entrance equipment or an SE rated ATS apply?
2. If not , should the disconnect installed for the feeder termination at the tenants space be a fused disconnect since the source of the power is 300 ft away and on another floor , even just out of an abundance of caution since it is a 480V feeder?
3.The 480V service is serving only the 480V computer room HVAC equipment and a 45 KVA transformer for the computer equipment . Based on that , do I need to provide a neutral from the landlords MSWB and for that matter , from the generator?
