Good morning All!!
I’m getting ready to install a 3 pos (200A ea) meter stack and we’re trying to figure out feeder size. (Meters will be for Unit 1, Unit 2 and LL)
Im planning to run 400AL x 2 for feeders.
(Used table 312.10 to figure out)
IF I was to use Art 220 and do a load calc, would THOSE figures be used to size the feeders using 312.10?
I guess I’m just asking if a load calculation would OVER RULE everything else and we’ll be allowed to run whatever size wire we calculate or is there something I’m missing here?
Just an FYI, the land lord panel will only be used for a camera system and a space heater in the basement. No common lighting (other than basement) BUT I understand that our calcs will only be applicable to this current situation and someone may come in the future all load stuff up. Is that something to worry about (from a code perspective) or do we not worry about future stuff like that?
