If a service panel is feeding a subpanel 150' away in a separate
building, would the subpanel then require it's own disconnect?

The Service Disconnecting Means may consist of up to six sets of
fuses, sets of circuit breakers with listed handle ties, circuit
breakers, or fused pull outs. Building Disconnecting Means are
treated as if they were Service Disconnecting Means. What is required
to have not more then two disconnecting means is any panel that has
more then ten percent of it's circuits at thirty amperes or less and
having a grounded current carrying conductor as part of the circuit.
