I have a question with regards to protection of feeder conductors:
An installation was designed with 4 sets of #500 to feed an 800 amp distribution due to voltage drop. Question I have is the 4 sets are coming from a 2000amp switch which will have 800amp fuse reducers installed. is that considered a legal installation ? What prevents somone in the future from installing larger fuses say 2000 amp fuses and overloading the conductors..
i just dont think its good design practice / common sense ..
Please advise.
