No. I can't remember the last time I saw a GFCI at a tower site except for a service outlet on the outside of a shelter.
My understanding they are only required in wet locations where corded devices are used. Hardwire a UPS into the circuit and throw the GFCI out. NEC does not require GFCI's on the outside of commercial structures. -B- Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -----Original Message----- From: RickG <[email protected]> Sender: [email protected] Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 21:02:59 To: Tom Sharples<[email protected]>; WISPA General List<[email protected]> Reply-To: WISPA General List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WISPA] GFCI outlet trips I suppose you have to weigh between possibly losing an occational power supply or outages causing multiple truck rolls. What I really want to know is using a GFCI outlet standard proceedure for tower installations?
