I am working on a renovation project at a college campus. The plan is to update the distribution system at the central utilities building. We have a pad mounted utility transformer at the exterior of the building. My question is can I re-route the secondary feeder up exposed on the exterior of the building (approximately 4' in sch 80 rigid galvanized), then penetrate the wall to terminate at the new panelboard on the other side of the wall?
I have read articles 225 and 230 forwards and backwards about a half dozen times. I understand what is considered "outside of the building". But I cannot find or come up with an interpretation that speaks to rising up exposed from below grade with service conductors. What I have found only really speaks to routing of overhead service conductors on building exteriors.
Have any of you run into a similar situation? Or can anyone shed some light on my code research?
Appreciate the help, CG02
