Is it required as per NEC to put an additional emergency stop button for the MV GENSET adjacent to the exit door? as it is well known there is the main one on the generator body itself.
Keep in mind the OP's location. They may be going by British standards.I don't think it matters whether it's medium voltage or not. I think the same rules apply.
The OP is using the IEC standards. I have no idea what may be required in this case.NFPA 110-2005 Section 5.6.5.6 requires a remote manual stop station (EPO) of a type to prevent inadvertent or unintentional operation located outside the room from where the generator is located. Not the NEC
If NFPA 110 is enforced in your jurisdiction, then you will need one in addition to the one on the gen controller.
Yet he asked about NEC standards. I'm not sure if NFPA 110 is intended to be enforced by local standards.The OP is using the IEC standards. I have no idea what may be required in this case.
In most jurisdictions I work in, the Building Code that is adopted, invokes (references) NFPA 110 for emergency generatorsYet he asked about NEC standards. I'm not sure if NFPA 110 is intended to be enforced by local standards.
