Electrical Code Issues Concerning Propriety Service Conductors
[ad#block] Electrical Question: I added a 40 amp 230/115 vac meter panel to split the load to the well pump from the rest of a rental house on it’s 100 amp overhead service. Both panels are now fed with a hot gutter. The conductors to the pump run in conduit from the new service disconnect to an 886RT can mounted below, then under the house and out the back, underground to the pump. Some of the conductors from the existing combination meter panel also run in conduit to the same enclosure, then under the house and on to various household loads. The job has been inspected and connected. Now a question has arisen about the propriety of the conductors from different service disconnects entering the same enclosure. Frankly I was more concerned about the conductors running under the house, but I couldn’t find any directly related issues in the code book.
I’m still researching, but I think some of you might know.
Thanks for checking this out. Mike.
