There are 2 multifamily buildings let's say A and B(59 and 14 units respectevely)in the same lot or developing area, both buildings are electrically separated with independent services, (1200A, 120/208V 3 Phase, and 600A 120/208v 3 phase respectevely). The developer wants to add a built-in microwave of 1600 watts, and a 9.8 kw range per unit that makes building A 1600A service, but utility has a limit of 1200A for a pole mounted transformer and there is no space for ground mounted transformer. I told the owner to use counter microwaves (already included in my kitchen circuits) and 8kw range to keep our load to 1200A.
My project manager has a crazy question but I want to make sure it is not a good practice. Here I go:
In order to keep 1200 A service in Building A, can I feed both house panels (Building A and B house panels) from the 600A (Building B) service?
Can anybody tell me a code that states if this is allow?
Thanks.
