This may be long to describe, but I ask for your patience. I hope I don't confuse anyone.
An apartment complex has two pool buildings next to a large pool.
Building A houses bathrooms. Building B has pool equipment. Original design had the 200 amp service with 200amp panel next to it in a bathroom. Then 100 amp feeder to Building B for a panel. Ok so far per code req'mnts.
The PoCo came along and did not accept the service in the bathroom (actually the meter). Service was moved to Building B. Then the 200amp feeder goes back to Bldg A to the panel that is still in the bathroom. From there the 100amp feeder goes to Bldg B to pick up the panel.
Then they called for inspection.
Does anyone see a problem with this "looping" between the buildings? Under 225-30(1999) we only have one feeder in Building B. Under 230-2 we only have one service. I don't see where the Code limits a building to only one source of electricity, either one service or one feeder. If there is no code reference I'll ask for conspicuous labeling at the service and each panel.
I won't be able to access the BB until AM
Thanks
