We have a city utilty building service that feeds 2 water pressure pumps(hydrants & water to homes).They want to add a 75 hp mtr to boost the pressure incase theres a drop in water pressure during a fire. They have refereded to it as a Fire Pump!! So if it trully is a F.P. article 695 comes into play. Heres the questions
#1 Can we put a service rated transfer sw . Run run from the c.t. cabinet to the sevice rated sw. then to normal loads . Also off the load side of the same transfer sw. to the fire pump disconnect then to the fire pump controller?? Since all pumps maintain the city water.
#2 if that is possible could we run straight from the transfer sw. to the fire pump location . With out a dissconnect sw. next to the transfer sw. I take it since they would be considered service wires they
would come under 230-6.

This does not sound like a true fire pump. Suggest you hook this up as an additional pump system to maintain water pressure in the towns water service.

Called Electrical Eng. Explained stutation he reclassed the pump as a booster pump.Poof problem gone.
