[QUOTE="Jay Barracato, post: 81079, member: 24"] Do you try to satisfy the majority or the minority? No reason not to have the 50 amp drop, but it doesn't make sense to me not to put the service in place in the first place rather than relying on acts to have a distro. I would bet most inspectors would rather see the installed panel with permanent circuits, rather than any portable distro, even if the distro is up to code. If a band is going into places where the largest breakout is a 50 amp plug my bet is they are also doing plenty of places that doesn't have that and are prepared to replug. On a larger system with dedicated 50 amp breakouts like you are talking about, they are probably going cams or tails to a larger distro. My point remains: don't let putting in a single 50 amp plug prevent you from putting appropriate 20 amp circuits to all the areas of production. [/QUOTE]
