I am working on a project (group home - non ambulatory) with a
limited service fire pump taking suction from a tank. Main power is
from the public utility and there is a back-up generator. The
generator is hooked up through a standard transfer switch, which I am
not sure is listed for use with a fire pump. The generator is sized
to run the fire pump and emergency lighting only. The switch is
satisfactorily sized, the system tested fine and the AHJ has signed
off on it. Is there a problem? If this was a normal fire pump, I
would say yes, but being limited service, I'm not sure. I know that
the pumps can only be used when specifically approved by the AHJ, but
don't know if they can accept a non-standard arrangement.
