TAP RULES

[RWALKE3117]

I INSTALLED A 200A/ 480V 3PH SERVICE WITH 200A FUSED DISCONNECT, RAN FEEDER (3/0 THHN) ABOUT 180' INTO 200A NON FUSED DISCONNECT, INSTALLED MULTI WIRE DEVICE WITH #6 THHN TO 60A FUSED DISCONNECT AND #2 THHN TO 100A FUSED DISCONNECT, BOTH WITHIN 3' TO 6'. I CONSIDER IT TO FALL UNDER THE TAP RULES ARTICLE 240-21 B AND 430-28(1) AND (2). BOTH THE 60A ANS 100A DISCONNECT ARE FOR CONCRETE MIXER MOTORS. THE INSPECTOR TURN IT DOWN FOR OVER FUSING THE TAP CONDUCTORS.

It sounds like a tap to me.

I would have left out the 200 amp non fused disco also.

Re: TAP RULES

Please turn off the ALL CAPS feature. It makes the post more difficult to read. It is also considered impolite, as though you were SHOUTING at us.

The inspector turn it down for over fusing the tap conductors.

I think this looks so much better.
