Basically replacing an existing standby power source and transfer switch. The transfer switch feeds an elevator, a panelboard (call it PP-1), and a couple smaller panelboards.
This is an apartment building (seniors).
I presume the elevator is not an emergency load.
PP-1 feeds emergency exit lighting (some of the corridor lighting and the stair light fixtures), some receptacles (intended for oxygen machines), and maybe a couple other misc. loads added over the years. The other panelboards have misc. loads added over the years (nothing legally required to have stand by).
We are installing a generator and new transfer switch.
The question is -how far are we obligated to separate out the emergency loads (lighting) from the other loads (to put on a separate transfer switch)?
