LOL!
probably the pwr co's are tired of fried x-formers from mom & pop welding shops clampin' onto whatever is available with the ol' static welder. Once again, however, we have an electrical code most welders will probably pay little attention to....
so Joe,
what's your view on this?
Should I as a field eletrician be let to blindly install a 250.32(B)(2) with the rigid raceway interupted only by a pvc sweep?
Should a pwr co. be let to land an x-former pad within arm's length of the meter/metal building?
Can I continue to run a 250.66 GEC to a common municipal water line,close x-former nieghbors, etc,tec... sparks included on contact?
Should we continue the practice of mettalic raceway's that, as Steve stated, serve as an obvious nuetral?
Or should 250 be arranged as to allowing the field electrician to design/build around these 'objectionable' circumstances without fear of violatins.
