I know we been thru this but this is a bit different. IMO, 230.79 talks about minimum rating of the disconnect and 230.42(B) states the conductors must match the amp. of these req. disconnects. I know we all don't agree...
So, we cn agree that 230.79(C) states we need a minimum of a 100 amp disconnect for a one family dwelling however since a multi family dwelling is not listed it appears to fall under (D) All Others which only requires a 60 amp disconnect. Do we agree?
I find it odd and I realize it would be unlikely to have a multi unit dwelling with just a 60 amp service but it looks like the NEC would allow it. YES?
