Jeff:
There is a passage in 690 that declares that a power panel does not have to
be fed with the amount of power it is rated for. This means to me that no
permanent power feed of any particular amperage is required. Good luck.

Thank goodness this was not my project, but I just received a call from a
couple that had purchased an old farm house in a rural part of the state
that was almost a mile from utility lines and never had power. They are
renovating the old farmhouse and applied for all permits from county and
have no problem with having inspections. However, the electrical permit
was denied on the basis there was "no contineous source of power and this
would not be classified as a weekend type cabin". Yes, I guess its
possible a local county can make up their own rules, but I am not aware of
any requirement in the NEC, and if there is a specific rule, I would think
all they would need to do is provide information on their proposed
generator/solar/battery/inverter system.
We have never had any problems like this in any other counties we have
systems, but before I advise them on how to proceed I wanted to make sure
that there were no specific code requirements other than the electrical
inspection.
Have you run into this before?
Thanks,
Jeff Yagoi
