Consider Federal law 29CFR1910.269 which specifically states dangerous touch and step potential shall be eliminated in work site.

So you believe an RV park is part of a power generation and distribution installation?


This is what 1910,269 applies too.

Power generation, transmission, and distribution installations, including related equipment for the purpose of communication or metering that are accessible only to qualified employees;

Sure it is. Many of the people constructing the wind farms the past few years around here have called some of the area RV parks home:)

And many people have been shocked needlessly (old holt articles about no egc/bomding at light poles, etc-only the rods- was a good example) because of excessive reliance on earthing voodoo instead of good old fashioned bonding- if there was to ever be any federal law about this issue it should be mandated that any sizable electrical apparatus with a conductive surface accessible to the general public be bonded.

I agree except you need to strike the word sizable and replace with likely to become energized. An all non conductive surface with a conductive fastener sticking out of it can still get you if that fastener is used in a way so that it can become energized.

The key point to check whether the law applies to user LV distribution installations also, in this case. RV sites.

Does it? Theres an awful lot to read there- but skimming thru it they're talking about stuff like lattice towers, pylons- things you don't you normally see a receptacle or panel attached to anywhere, let alone in an rv park.

Re-read CubaPetes posts.:)

The key point is I posted what it applies to and it does not apply to an RV site.


But next time you wire an RV park you can choose the apply it. :thumbsup:

An RV site is probably a comnercial estabilishment. But as kwired noted, RV sites are frequently with wind farms. Such RV sites are industrial estabilishments and as such the law applies.

RV parks I was referring to were not directly associated with a wind farm, they just happened to have construction workers park RV's there and that is where they stayed during construction of the wind farm. They were otherwise public use RV sites before the wind farm showed up and will remain public after construction is done. My post was supposed to be funny - sorry you didn't get it.

Many ahj's would disagree w/ you here.....

Even many established trailer parks are not classified as commercial property.

In many areas, someone can buy some land, put up provisions for a park, and have people move in there w/ their trailers- have an landlord office, everything, and it would still be classified as a form of residential development. The actual business address for such development could be anywhere.

The question is whether any RV park with wind/solar farm is under industrial estabilishment classification, for example, Prairie wind RV park at Kansas.

The pictures I posted that you claimed showed a violtion of 'federal law' are not at a wind farm, it is not an an industrial location.


Do you have some fetish that is satisfied by acting the fool?:?

Kwired said earlier he was only ​joking.

From what I gather that's only a name. There are wind turbine projects nearby and scattered across Kansas, some may be federal owned, idk.

But none of them were in iwires pic.:happyno:
