Anyone have experience on a large project where you utilized permanent switchgear/feeders for temporary power/lighting?

From what I was told more often than not, for one reason or another, perm are not able to be utilized as temp.

If you use the permenant as temp compliance with hot work rules can be a problem

We use as much permanent stuff for temp that we can during new construction. At times it can be problematic because when the time comes to use those temp risers for permanent power often you're still using them for temp power which creates other issues. Given a choice I would just run temp MC risers which can be cut, redirected and altered much more easily as permanent power becomes available.
