Our local city elcetrical inspector is interpreting NEC 440.11 to say that a local disconnect needs to be installed such that the entire air conditioning unit can be removed, including the housing. He insist that a separate disconnect be installed beyond the integral disconnect permitted in 440.14 to allow the roof top unit be pulled while avoiding the need to lock out the circuit breaker at the main panel.
Our interpretation of the NEC permits the iuse of an integral disconnect as stated in 440.14 which provides a local disconnect to service and remove the equipment that has been electrically connected but not the housing itself.
Can you help us determine which interpretation is correct?
