Winnie & Bob- First of all, this is an actual installation in the plan review stage.
The primary voltage of this customer owned xformer exceeds the 600v. range requiring GFPE. Additionally, this secondary of this xformer is not by definition a "Service". The voltage 480/277 and 1600a. puts it in the range of GFPE. Since the xformer is located about 50' from the building the xformer tap rules are complied with and we will be getting our overcurrent protection at the building in the form of a single disconnect and I'm saying that it is required to be GFPE. Am I correct??
