Hi folks! For large buildings where the load is expected to be larger than one utility transformer and service, what kind of requirements do we run into? It's my opinion that NEC allows this per the below. However, I want to solicit feedback from the group on other code concerns. I've heard some say a fire separation is required, however I don't see where that requirement would come from.
NEC 230.2 (B) Special Occupancies. By special permission, additional services are permitted for:
(1) Multiple-occupancy buildings where there’s no available space for supply equipment accessible to all occupants, or
(2) A building or other structure so large that two or more supplies are necessary.
