Excerpts:
“NEC Section 230.71. Six Switches or Circuit Breakers in One Enclosure”
“The NEC in 2020 has erased our antiquated method of installing six circuit breakers in one enclosure to serve as a building’s service disconnect. The reason? Bundling multiple service disconnect switches inside one enclosure makes it impossible to comply with NFPA 70E Standards for Electrical Safety in the Workplace when it comes to safe work practices applied to service equipment. “
Tom Sherman added clarification:
“Thanks Larry. Yes, this is correct and I believe consistent with what we discussed Tuesday night. These installations are not permitted under the NEC. However, there is no rule requiring them to be removed or changed on existing installs. (Unless there is something I’m not aware of.) Thanks for digging into this!”
Thank you guys
