First off I'm not advocating this. A building engineer asked me this and actually intrigued me a bit. He has three 30 amp circuits going to a space and wants to have a disconnect for all three circuits at the location(shed type deal) to kill all circuits at once. He has a 3 phase 30 amp disconnect switch at his house and asked if it can be used in place of 3 single pole disconnects, as he wants to use what he has. My first reaction was to laugh, then I said I dont think so, then I realized I wasnt sure. Not talking if this is code, just would this setup burn up the disconnect if he had say all 3 circuits running close to trip point( he has 3 breakers in his house). This is purely out of curiosity as me and my helper were discussing this issue.
