There is a passage in 690 that declares that a power panel does not have
to be fed with the amount of power it is rated for. This
means to me that no permanent power feed of any particular amperage is
required. Good luck.<br><br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>Thank goodness this was not my
project, but I just received a call from a couple that had purchased an
old farm house in a rural part of the state that was almost a mile from
utility lines and never had power. They are renovating the old
farmhouse and applied for all permits from county and have no problem
with having inspections. However, the electrical permit was denied
on the basis there was "no contineous source of power and this would
not be classified as a weekend type cabin". Yes, I guess
its possible a local county can make up their own rules, but I am not
aware of any requirement in the NEC, and if there is a specific rule, I
would think all they would need to do is provide information on their
proposed generator/solar/battery/inverter system.<br>

We have never had any problems like this in any other counties we have
systems, but before I advise them on how to proceed I wanted to make sure
that there were no specific code requirements other than the electrical
inspection.<br>
<br>
Have you run into this before?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
