I have recently run into a situation that is a new one for me. We installed a 20KW standby generator with a service entrance rated disconnect / transfer switch at the service. The generator is at the other end of the home. We ran the generator wiring in the crawl to the service disconnect. The inspector says that we need a service entrance rated disconnect at the generator as well.
No other county or locality has had this requirement. We have installed over one hundred of these in the last year with this being the only situation like this. He cites article 702.11. There is a disconnect via the generator breaker. and 702. says nothing about a service rated diasconnect.
Am i missing something?
