seperate feeder

[RUWired]

Is it a requirement to hit the steel, water pipe etc? I have a non sds outdoor generator feeding a new free standing indoor switch gear.I also have a new indoor normal feed free standing switchgear that is fed from an outdoor power supply.Are both required to hit the G.E.S.

I suppose 250.32 would cover that requitrement.

I don't think so. The generator is not being served, it's serving. This has been discussed recently, and I believe that was the conclusion.

So, IMO, no connection to a GE is required, unless dubiously required by the listing of the generator.

I agree in this case, however if it was configured as an SDS then electrodes would be required.

No difference of potential issues between the seperate gear?

Only if the transfer switch also switches the neutral.
