Yes but it is still a code violation and as one of the guys that crawls
into the buidings that all of you sane types have run out of I would ask
that you cut us a break and follow the code. That includes providing a
single disconnecting means that will deenergize the entire structure as
required by the code. If you really want to be nice to us then you
could mount the disconecting means outside the building.

You were doing OK tom and we love the firemen but if you boys are
counting on a single disconnect you might get it trouble. It could be
SIX separate switches. They just have to be grouped.

225.33 Maximum Number of Disconnects.
(A) General. The disconnecting means for each supply permitted by
225.30 shall consist of not more than six switches or six circuit
breakers mounted in a single enclosure, in a group of separate
enclosures, or in or on a switchboard. There shall be no more than six
disconnects per supply grouped in any one location.

I am aware of that as my bread work is electrical. I was only asking
that if the opportunity presents please put a single disconnect outside.

We're just working men and woman most remarkable like you.
