Generator Policies for Special Events

Special event policies for generator suppliers and leasers.

Suppliers of portable generators, which are used for events that do not have need of normal power, and the parties leasing those generators, need to be aware of the following:

  • The installation of generators falls under the provisions of the NEC.
  • Wiring is Article 445, Grounding Article 250. The wiring which runs from the generator to the different venues will be covered by Articles 525 and 590.
  • The grounding and wiring from the generator must be installed by a Licensed Electrical Contractor.
  • This contractor must pull the proper permits and must be present for inspection by the City's Building Division Electrical Inspectors.

For more information, call the Building Division Electrical Section at (314) 622-3326.
