I think i am right on this but i need your thoughts as well.
The client has the portable gas powered generator hooked up with an extention cord through the outside wall to a independant duplex receptacle and has marked it generator.
This receptacle is not part of the existing circuitry.
I told the client first the SJTW extension cord has to get protected and second she can not have a permanent connection to the building.
I recommended to have the permanent SJTW cord removed. Install a flanged inlet at the outside of the building and during a black out use a generator cord to power the inlet which will power the inside receptacle.
Am I right on this and what is the NEC section?
I could not find anyhting about a portable unit permanently connected to the building in 445, 702, 705
Thank you for your input.
