Expanding AC distribution panel
I'm looking at options for expanding the AC dist. on a Parallax 6300 dist. panel.
Forum Discussion
Ok I found some smaller breaker panels with two to four breakers.
I'm uncertain of NEC codes for an RV which are probably required for RV manufacturing similar to automobile manufacturing requires to pass certain DOT regulations. Where the auto manufacture is required to send e.g. headlights and their design schematics to the DOT to be certified. Once a vehicle is certified by the DOT production can begin.
NEC codes may differ depending on electrical grounding requirements of a structure.
I once upgraded an old bull-dog 50 amp service panel to a 200 service panel on a 44 foot RV that was permanently mounted on cement blocks.
however I also upgrade the properties PUD 100 amp service to 200 amps .
I obtain electrical permits from the county and state (labor and industries) however I'm uncertain the relationship between those permits and the electrical re-wiring of the 44 foot RV and installation of a new RV 200 service panel that's connected to another 200 service panel installed on a pole for the PUD.
I was told if a RV is not installed on a permanent foundation then it NEC codes differ from a RV installed on a permanent foundation, same or similar to a house or mobile home. I use to have NEC schematics and tech. documents that showed me the differences and requirment. However NEC has since changed it's electrical ground codes.
In out state certain projects do not require an electrical permit.
They include:
Travel trailers.
Plug-in household appliances.
The like-in-kind replacement of lamps; a single set of fuses; a single battery smaller than 150 amp hour; contactors, relays, timers, starters, circuit boards, or similar control components; one household appliance; circuit breakers; single-family residential luminaires; up to five snap switches, dimmers, receptacle outlets, thermostats, heating elements, luminaire ballasts with an exact same ballast; component(s) of electric signs, outline lighting, or skeleton neon tubing when replaced on-site by an appropriate electrical contractor and when the sign, outline lighting or skeleton neon tubing electrical system is not modified; one ten horsepower or smaller motor.
For the purposes of this section, "circuit breaker" means a circuit breaker that is used to provide overcurrent protection only for a branch circuit, as defined in NEC 100.
