Load Interruptor Switch Location
Load Interruptor Switch Location
(OP)
Hi all!
Does anyone know if there is any language among the codes which states where a load interrupt switch needs to be located? I have a load interrupt switch which separates a generator from downstream loads. The generator is on floor level and the contractor is proposing putting the load interrupt switch on another floor due to field interferences. My thought is that you would want the load interrupt switch within eyesight of the generator, but that's purely opinion. Your thoughts are much appreciated.

What protects the conductors/bus between the gen and the switch? I think you should get an professinal opinion on or review of your design.

My apologies for the lack of detail. I figured that people would be more willing to read and respond to a shorter post.
I'm not looking for someone to design this system for me; I'm just wondering if anyone has encountered this question in the past and had to deal with it.

And you are right, at least I tend to ignore too long posts.
