We frequently have to go to very small buildings (12' x 30') and measure the determine whether the electrical system needs to be upgraded. They are generally served by a transformer that is 25 kVA or smaller. The voltage is 120/240. It is usually a 200 amp service. In the past, we just removed the dead front, clipped on an ammeter and jotted down values. The most important value is the total current, although branch values would be helpful.
The way I read NFPA 70E, in order for our folks to remove the dead front and take readings we must equip them with Category 1 PPE.
Is there another way to measure current?
