Question:
You are installing 2 service risers on a building that is to be served by 1 service drop. What is the maximum distance apart that the NEC will allow the weatherheads to be located?
A
Answer:
Four feet ... Uh ... well ... sort of, section 230-54(c) exception says '..., the service head location shall be permitted not farther than 24 in. (610 mm) from the point of attachment.' However, if taken in context with the rest of the section, there is no limitation if the service head is above the point of attachment.
