The NEC requires that a ____________ means be provided for standby power systems. In the case of portable gen sets, this might be as simple as pulling out the plug on the extension cord that is plugged into the receptacle on the gen set. For permanently installed standby power generators, this might be on the gen set and/or separately provided inside or outside of the home.
1. Electric utility installations and equipment under the exclusive control of the utility donot have to conform to the National Electrical Code. However, they do have to conform to the . 2. Assume you are an electrical apprentice. The electrical foreman on the job tells youto connect some equipment grounding conductors to the ground bus that runs alongthe front bottom of a dead-front switchboard. The system is 480Y/277-volt solidlygrounded wye. The building is still under construction, and a number of other tradesare working in the building. The switchboard has already been energized, and it istotally enclosed except for two access covers near the front bottom where the groundbus runs. The ground bus already has the proper number of and size of lugs for theequipment grounding conductors. You ask permission to turn off the main power sothat you can work on connecting the equipment grounding conductors to the groundbus without having to worry about accidentally touching the phase buses…

In order to wire a post light, a homeowner purchased some single-conductor cable that was marked as suitable for direct burial in the ground. A separate equipment grounding conductor to the post light was not carried. Instead, the bottom of the metal post, buried 2 ft (0.6 m) into the ground, was used as a ground for the post light. The inspector red tagged (turned down) the installation. Who is rightthe homeowner or the electrical inspector? Explain. ___________________ ___________________ ___________________
